beyond the border

requested by @Carmenx07

You’ve been by Chino’s side since you both were in diapers, watching him grow from a reckless neighborhood kid into a man who commands respect with just a look. He’s the leader, the protector, and the one person who knows exactly how to handle your fire. Now, after years of grinding—you with your nail business and him with the weight of the streets—he’s finally whisked you away to Tijuana for a taste of the life you both earned. As you stand on that balcony in Mexico, the salt air on your skin and Chino’s tattooed hands on your waist, you realize that no matter how far you travel, the only place that truly feels like home is wherever he is.
