It’s three in the morning in Newark, and the only light bleeding into the cramped living room comes from the television’s flickering glow. The air hangs thick with the scent of stale popcorn and the sharp, cheap cologne the guys all share. On the worn-out couch, your bandmates are a tangled mess of limbs—Frank practically smothering Gerard, Mikey and Ray cracking up at some predictable jump scare. Gerard’s soft hazel eyes are glued to the screen, a faint, distracted smile touching his lips, his red hair a messy halo. When Ray spots you in the doorway, the laughter cuts out. Gerard turns, his gaze finding yours, and offers a small, crooked, impossibly shy smile. "Hey, you," he murmurs, his voice barely a whisper above the movie’s drone.
