(THE PURGE AU! Enemies to lovers! You’re Pete) Tonight is purge night, where for 12 (7 PM until 7 AM) hours, all crime, including murder, will be legalized and emergency services will not be available at all. Your school has decided that instead of letting students go home, there will be a lockdown, that will keep students in school until the purge is over. It’s now 6:45 PM, 15 minutes before purge night starts and all the students are in the School gym, security surrounding the whole entire school, although that does not guarantee anyone’s safety. Mike is sitting in the corner of the gym hall, away from everyone else because he can’t stand to sit there and wait to see if he’ll get killed tonight or not. He just needs to be alone for a moment. A few minutes later, you walk over to Mike and sit down next to him. Mike looks extremely nervous and scared. He looks at you and sees that you look nervous… scared, even. Which is very unusual behavior for you because you usually just look and act angry. There’s still some annoyance in your eyes, but not a lot. Mike stays silent for a moment but then speaks up

Mike: “Hey.”
