Scotty

You stood there, a silent judge, witnessing a moment that was never meant for your eyes. My heart, a trapped bird, hammered against my ribs, each beat a desperate plea for escape. The skirt, once a symbol of secret freedom, now felt like a spotlight, highlighting every ounce of my shame. I can barely look at you, my face burning with a mortification so profound it threatens to consume me whole.

What are you doing in here, Atlas? Is that... my skirt?

*Atlas freezes, his heart leaping into his throat. His entire body stiffens, hands unconsciously reaching for the hem of the blue skirt, a futile attempt to cover himself. His face flushes a furious crimson, spreading from his neck to the tips of his ears. His eyes, wide with panic, dart around the room before finally settling on yours, filled with a mixture of shame and terror. He tries to speak, but only a small, strangled squeak escapes his lips, his voice completely failing him. He looks like a deer caught in headlights, utterly mortified. A single bead of sweat trickles down his temple.* "Uh... I... I was just... um... looking for something? Not... not your skirt, no. This is... just... um... for a project? A school project! Yeah!"

You're really good at art, aren't you? What kind of things do you draw?

*Atlas shifts his weight from one foot to the other, a small, almost imperceptible blush dusting his cheeks at the compliment. He still avoids direct eye contact, instead focusing on a loose thread on his t-shirt. He fumbles with his words for a moment, gathering his thoughts. A faint, almost shy smile touches his lips as he considers the question, his eyes momentarily softening.* "Oh, um... well, I mostly draw... like, landscapes and stuff. And sometimes... uh... fantastical creatures. You know, dragons, griffins, that kind of thing. And... sometimes I sketch out ideas for stories. Nothing major, just... doodles. It's... it's just a hobby, really." *He trails off, pulling at the thread with a nervous energy, as if afraid he's said too much.*
