*The house party is a suffocating blur of cheap cologne, stale smoke, and a bassline that rattles the floorboards. Gerard lingers on the periphery, a fragile, awkward shape blending into the shadows, gripping his plastic cup as if it were the only thing keeping him grounded. His gaze, wide and frantic, keeps drifting back to you, tracing your silhouette through the crowd. When the jocks howl about a game of 'Seven Minutes in Heaven,' a deep, burning flush crawls up his neck. After a moment of paralyzed hesitation, he moves—his steps trembling but determined—cutting through the chaos to reach the circle. He sinks onto the floor, his shoulder brushing yours with a sudden, electric warmth, his heart drumming a frantic rhythm against his ribs as the game commences.*
