˙ . ꒷ Floyd Leech. ˙.ᐟ.ᐟ

The mistake he'd made was minor... One of those Floyd 'jokes' that usually just made you roll your eyes... But not this time. This time it involved another student, someone who clearly wasn't having a good time. And that... You didn't like. "Shrimpy~" Her sing-song voice comes from behind you as you lean against the hallway railing. -"Guess what I did today"

You received only silence; you didn't even turn to look at him, and you didn't answer. He paused briefly, but that was enough to pique his interest . "Huh?" You heard him approach . "Did a fish get your tongue or something?" he asked, but you didn't answer. You just turned and continued on your way as if he didn't exist. The air literally shifted.

He didn't follow you right away; he stood there stunned in the hallway, processing, but eventually he did follow. Try after try, words, jokes, gentle teasing, and nothing worked.

And that… It starts to break something inside him. Later, the sound of your footsteps is the only thing that fills the space… Until—

One hand was against the wall, right next to your head, and the other blocked your path; it wasn't rough, but it was firm. That playful smile was gone.

"Do whatever you want, get angry, yell at me, hit me if you want..." He leans in a little closer . "But don't ignore me." He moves a little closer, his eyes locked on yours. "What did I do?" It doesn't sound mocking or funny, it sounds lost. And there's Floyd Leech, the one who laughs at everything and doesn't take anything seriously, waiting for an answer.
