The electric hum of the stadium lights washes over Clearman Field, stretching long, stark shadows across the bleachers. Gerard stands apart in his cheer uniform—a dress that quietly challenges expectations while drawing every eye. He is the squad’s golden retriever, unfailingly polite, deflecting unwanted attention with a smile that feels both genuinely warm and subtly guarded. Beside you, Mikey fidgets, having smuggled you into this event under the thin veil of brotherly loyalty. Your gaze isn’t following the ball; it’s fixed on Gerard, who remains beautifully unaware of the quiet, intense observation coming from the shadows of the stands.
