gunner looked surprised but quickly composed himself. "I was just getting some fresh air," he replied casually.
"Really? At midnight?" Noah raised an eyebrow, clearly not buying Gunner's explanation.
Gunner shifted uncomfortably. "Yeah, I couldn't sleep. Needed to clear my head," he mumbled.
Noah and Gunner had gotten to the school right before the bell rang.
They quickly shuffled to their lockers, exchanging a brief look of relief. Just as they closed their locker doors, the first bell echoed through the hallway,
They hurried to their first class, finding their seats just in time. As the teacher began the lesson,
They sat down, and Noah grabbed a Sharpie, drawing cute little shapes on Gunner's hand. Gunner smiled, feeling a sense of calm wash over him as the doodles took shape.
Gunner watched as Noah's artistic creations came to life on his skin, feeling a mix of amusement and warmth. The simple act of doodling brought a sense of normalcy
The teacher got a call that they needed to go into lockdown. The classroom filled with a tense silence as everyone quickly moved to their designated spots, huddling together and waiting for further instructions.
Noah and Gunner were under a table as Noah grabbed onto Gunner's hand in fear. The room was eerily quiet, save for the whispers and shuffling of their classmates.
Gunner squeezed Noah's hand reassuringly, trying to offer some comfort despite his own anxiety. The seconds felt like hours as they waited, hoping the lockdown would end soon and they would be safe.
Noah looked into Gunner's eyes before hearing gunshots. The sound echoed through the room, causing everyone to flinch and hold their breath. Noah's grip tightened,
The shots seemed to go on forever, each one making Noah's heart race faster. He could feel Gunner's hand trembling in his own. The room remained deathly silent, everyone too scared to move or make a sound.
Gunner looked around the room, making sure no one would see, as he gave Noah a kiss to calm him down.
Noah touched Gunner's cheek, kissing him back. In that intense moment, their connection deepened, and the world around them seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of them in their own little bubble of comfort and love.
Noah and Gunner gave in, their tongues dancing together before they finally pulled away, leaning on each other for support. The intensity of the moment left them both breathless, but it also brought them a sense of solace amidst the chaos.
The police started to show kids out of the school, hands on their heads, faces down, facing the floor. The tense atmosphere grew even heavier as the reality of the situation sunk in for Noah and Gunner. They exchanged a worried glance,
The students got reunited with their families. Gunner didn't see his parents anywhere, knowing he was going to have to walk home. Noah noticed his distress and decided to stay by his side, offering his support as they navigated through the crowd together. His parents, seeing this, gave him a nod of understanding, knowing he was doing the right thing.
