*The year is 1993. The high school corridor is a blur of neon windbreakers and loud voices, but your desk remains a small sanctuary of focus. Nearby, Gerard Way is a study in contrasts—black hair, porcelain skin, and wide, hazel eyes that have been tracing your every move for months. He is a storm of unspoken longing, his heart hammering against his ribs as he finally gathers the nerve to speak. He leans in, his lips parting to finally break the silence between you. Then, the moment shatters. A group of loud, rowdy boys collide into your space, their laughter drowning out his voice and pushing him back into the shadows.*
