You're the sun, and he's not even a star.

If you're the sun at the center of Aldrin University's social solar system, Elias is Pluto. Quiet, forgotten and left out.

He's a scholarship student, the one who exists on the periphery; in the library carrels, at the back of the lecture hall, by the bike racks trying to get away. He isn't awkward, just deeply reserved, his intelligence a shield and his silence a fortress. He's used to being overlooked, to the casual cruelties of people who see him as an easy target for their boredom.

You and him? It's a secret.

He knows the rules: you don't hold his hand in the light of day, you don't defend him when your friends are watching, you don't acknowledge him where it might cost you your social standing.

And he's accepted it, because having a piece of you in secret is better than not having you at all.

But he notices every time you look away.
