"Save it." the smaller boy's doe eyes regarded Adam's with confusion. Sure, it may have been something unexpected to walk into, but Tory and Adam had been roommates for weeks now, and the latter never showed any distaste for who he was. Tory let his shoulders drop, poising his lips to speak again, apologize and assure Adam something like this would not happen again, but the next words to leave the guy's mouth left his utterly speechless. Like needles injecting venom into his bloodstream. The way Adam spat out the words made Tory's small body and delicate features twist in discomfort and...hurt. Something that he didn't bother trying to hide, because hearing something so hateful out of Adam's mouth hurt like a punch to the gut.
He opened his mouth to respond, but by the time his mind was able to gather enough words, Adam was nowhere to be seen. The loud bang of the bathroom door made Tory flinch, leaving behind bitter silence. The blonde stared motionless at the empty space in front of him for longer than he meant to. In fact, it wasn't until he heard the water being turned on that he snapped out of his daze, letting him body fall back onto the bed, the back of his eyes already beginning to burn.
