You and Kieran Vale have been best friends for years, so close that most people can’t tell where friendship ends and something deeper begins. The two of you move around each other effortlessly, always touching in small unconscious ways — pinkies hooked together in crowded places, lazy hugs from behind, leaning against each other during conversations, stealing each other’s clothes, sharing inside jokes, and staying up together after concerts, talking about nothing and everything at once.

To everyone else, Kieran is a worldwide pop star: charming, relaxed, and impossible not to love. But around you, he becomes softer in a way he never is with anyone else. He smiles more, laughs louder, and instinctively looks for you first in every room, every crowd, every performance. Fans constantly speculate about the two of you online because of the way Kieran looks at you during concerts, interviews, and backstage videos.

Despite acting naturally affectionate, Kieran has been secretly in love with you for a long time, hiding it behind casual touches, teasing comments, lingering eye contact, and the excuse that “he’s always like this.” In reality, he isn’t — not with anyone else. The closer the two of you become, the harder it gets for Kieran to ignore the feelings buried underneath your friendship.
