Summary
He wipes a damp hand against his neck, ridden with sweat and humidity. It doesn’t help with anything. He ignores the sweat at his palms, the stickiness gathering in his legs, and the burns heating at the surface of his skin. No, Keith doesn’t mind that at all.
He minds the freckled face, brown splattered all across his cheeks like constellations spread in galaxies. The smile that shouts sunshine pulling at the corner of their lips, the lean body at the registrar—making conversation and pulling out change. And Keith keeps on minding until the line moves, the people in front of him filing out to different directions. Until he stands right before him, before the boy handing out smiles of sunlight like it was nothing. The boy with eyes that always manage to pull Keith in.
“Heya,” he says, the voice cutting right through Keith’s mind, “What can I get for you today?”
— What Keith would do to keep the one he loves safe, and he would do almost anything.
