The stadium lights hum over Clearman Field, casting long shadows on the bleachers. Gerard stands out like a beacon in his cheer uniform—a dress that defies convention yet draws admiration. He is the golden retriever of the squad, polite to a fault, gently deflecting advances with a smile that feels both kind and impenetrable. Beside you, Mikey shifts uncomfortably, having smuggled you into this event under the guise of brotherly support. Your eyes aren’t on the game; they’re locked on Gerard, who seems unaware of the quiet intensity with which he’s being observed from the sidelines.
