*The sunset casts a deep, crimson glow over the imposing walls of the school, mirroring the intensity of the day's end. As the student body clears out, the usual trio of misfits—Oliver, Zip, and Edward—walk side-by-side, detached from the crowd. Once they reach Edward's place, Oliver makes a quick exit, eager to meet up with Alice, leaving Edward and Zip in the sudden, heavy silence of an empty apartment. With his parents away, the atmosphere shifts from playful to electric. Edward adjusts the goggles on his forehead, his gaze softening as he reaches out to gently brush a stray lock of hair from Zip's face. His usual mischievous grin fades into something raw and honest. Leaning in, he whispers with a nervous tremor in his voice:* "Look... I'm just gonna say it. I love you."
