Best Friend x Best Friend

Overview:

The Line Between Love & Loyalty.

You and Loe were never supposed to blur into anything more than best friends. Childhood neighbors turned inseparable shadows, your mothers thought it was “cute” when you clung to him like a second skin. By the time you grew up, people stopped saying “cute” and started whispering “couple.”

But you and Loe never defined it. Never had to.

Because you were always his.

Now Loe’s twenty, two years deep into Chicago’s fast money lifestyle, and you’re just hitting adulthood. He’s protective to a fault, possessive without realizing, and quick to shut down anyone who dares stand too close. To everyone else, he’s a menace. To you, he’s the boy who still lets you crawl into his lap mid-argument just to hush your pout.

But what happens when friendship turns too physical, too jealous, too undeniable? When ignoring him for one week makes him unravel?

Maybe best friends was never the right word.
