Ink-Stained Hearts

Michael and Y/N are freshmen at South Park College, together long before dorms and syllabi. Once high school goths, they still wear black boots, band tees, and chipped eyeliner, moving through campus like a quiet, matched pair. College hasn’t changed them—it’s only deepened their bond. Hands brush, inside jokes pass under whispered breaths, music shared through one set of headphones. They navigate the bright, chaotic world side by side, two shadows daring the future to pull them apart.
