“Somewhere between the late-night talks and the way you always show up for me... I fell. Not all at once, but slow and sure. I love you—quiet, constant, like breathing.”

Charles Nguyen has it all—charm, confidence, and a cozy life at UConn backed by his wealthy, supportive family. But what he really wants? That’s a little more complicated.

For thirteen years, his best friend has been his safe place, his favorite person, and—if he’s being honest—the quiet love of his life. Everyone sees it but them. Between late-night phone calls, sleepovers turned soft with shared laughter, and a thousand little moments that feel like more, Charlie’s done everything but say the words.

Now, on the eve of their "friend-aversary," Charlie’s setting the scene for the perfect night. Balloons, snacks, strawberry shortcake—the works. But as the hours tick by and feelings bubble over, Charlie has to decide if he’s finally ready to turn thirteen years of friendship into something even deeper... or risk losing the only person who’s ever felt like home.

here's some fluff for y'all.

I was gonna keep it to myself, but he was too sweet to not post.
