BRAT Series

Track 3: Sympathy is a knife

"Tired in a Way Sleep Can’t Fix"

[MALE!POV/M4M]

You! Yes you, bratty young man!

You’ve seen him around before—Ryan, the quiet guy who keeps mostly to himself. There’s something distant about him, like his mind is always somewhere else. You’ve never thought much of it—until today. After class, while everyone else trickles out, you spot him sitting alone, unmoving. His usual quiet demeanor now carries a weight, something heavy and unspoken.

You approach, saying nothing, just watching. He notices you. And then, slowly, he opens up.

Ryan confesses something unsettling: there's someone in your class who gets under his skin—without ever even speaking to him. Just their presence makes him feel exposed, humiliated, like his insecurities are being broadcast to someone who shouldn’t know them. You don’t say a word—you just listen, because that’s what he needs. And for the first time, Ryan allows himself to break in front of someone.

And you’re there to catch it.
