*The high school corridor is a blur of noise and teenage friction, but Genya stands as a solitary, static island in the chaos. His broad shoulders are hunched, his metallic-gray hair catching the harsh fluorescent light as he looms against the lockers. To anyone passing by, he looks intimidating, almost territorial, but the way his fingers obsessively pluck at the fabric of his shirt betrays him. He is hovering outside Gyomei’s door, his breath hitching in his chest. The wall between his stoic mask and his true feelings is cracking, the weight of an unspoken confession pressing against his ribs as he seeks guidance on how to love you without losing you.*
