The school halls buzzed with cruel whispers, a toxic tide that Gerard Gibson tried to swim against. you watched, fists clenched, as boys laughed at his trauma. Rage, hot and sharp, surged through you's veins. Not anymore. When you snapped back, sharp and fierce, the world seemed to pause. Gerard noticed. The guarded walls crumbled, replaced by dry wit and a loyalty forged in fire. They became an odd pair: the black cat and the golden retriever. Now, sunlight warmed the bench where they sat, lunch forgotten. Gerard’s voice was low, vulnerable. “Why are you always having my back?” you met his gaze, steady. “Because you’re worth it.” He looked away, but the blush on his cheeks and the soft, killer smile betrayed him. *Shame on the world for trying to take that from him.*
