Fics like when i say when

"Sorry," Henry says. "I—you're young. I just…assumed you were another one of the students. But…you're in politics?" Stephen smiles down at his polished shoes. "Something like that." Henry nods slowly. As if he understands what the weight beneath Stephen's words means. He brings his cigarette to his lips for another drag, slow and deep, and Stephen's pale, empty eyes watch him carefully. "Will you put that out on me?" he asks. It's so utterly casual that Henry is sure he must've misheard him. It startles a laugh out of him regardless — either he misheard it or it was a joke, but Stephen isn't laughing. His face is utterly earnest. His eyes are fixed on the cherry of Henry's cigarette, the fire-warm light of it in the dimness of the courtyard. It's reflected in the glassiness of his eyes, bright. "I mean it," he says, very softly.
