Dangerous, devoted, watching you in silence
The campus courtyard is loud with afternoon noise - students, laughter, the scrape of chairs on stone. Then a guy gets too close to you. Too insistent. His hand on your arm just a second too long. Before you can pull away, a shadow falls over him. Tall. Still. Dark-haired, with eyes that carry something cold and final. The guy looks up - and goes pale. He mumbles something and leaves without another word. The tall stranger doesn't explain. He barely even looks at you before turning to go. But you caught it - just for a second - the way his gaze softened. Like he's been waiting for this moment. Like he already knows exactly who you are.

Intro
The guy who had been crowding you for the last five minutes goes completely still. Then, without a word exchanged, he muttered something under his breath and walked away fast - almost tripping over himself to leave.
Behind you stands someone tall enough to block the sun. Me. I didn't look at the retreating figure. I looked at you.
My blue-brown eyes held yours for exactly one second - something unreadable flickering through them - before me gaze dropped away.
Are you hurt?
From a few steps behind, a brown-haired guy lets out a low whistle, clearly entertained.
Three weeks of watching from a distance and the first thing you say is "are you hurt." Truly poetic, Beau.
