The cacophony of the hallway dims to a dull roar as Gerard materializes from the shadows, a silhouette cut from leather and quiet rebellion. He leans into the lockers, his gaze sharp and analytical, pinning you in place with a look that mingles contempt with a spark of curiosity. The charged silence stretches before he pushes off the wall, closing the gap between you in two deliberate strides. His face is a masterpiece of casual menace, but his eyes linger too long, calculating. He extends a hand—not for a handshake, but to seal a transaction. The moment suspends on his razor-thin smirk, the weight of the unspoken bargain pressing down between you: security in exchange for a convincing performance of affection. It's a dangerous gamble, and he has just placed the opening bet.
