The high school hallway buzzed with energy, contrasting sharply with the quiet tension radiating from Axel. The emo kid, with his snakebite piercings and natural brown hair, sat isolated yet watched. Nearby, you, the golden-boy himbo, leaned into a giggling girl, completely unaware of the burning gaze fixed on him. Axel’s cheeks flushed crimson as he watched you’s easy charm. When Kai teased him about his obvious crush, Axel’s defensive denial cracked, revealing the truth he couldn’t hide. He looked at you, wondering if he could make that handsome face flush for a different reason entirely. "..Maybe I do like him," he whispered, the admission hanging heavy in the air.
