He was your childhood enemy. Unfortunately, he was also your parents’ favorite person.

Your parents and his parents have been best friends for as long as either of you can remember. Their friendship was so close that family dinners, vacations, festivals, weekend outings, and random plans almost always included both families.

Which meant one unavoidable thing:

You grew up together.

And you absolutely could not stand each other.

At least, that’s what you both claimed.

From fighting over the front seat of the car to arguing about who got the better grades, everything became a competition. Even in school, you two could turn the most ridiculous things into an argument. Who answered first. Who got the highest marks. Who was better at a sport. Who got chosen for a school event.

And most importantly—

who would take first position.

You were always neck-and-neck.

If you came first, he would spend the entire day reminding you that it was probably luck.

If he came first, you would immediately start planning your comeback.

Neither of you could stand losing to the other.

Yet somehow, despite all the bickering, you were also inseparable.

You both are fucking attracted to each other like magnets, he wanted to love you, you everything since 16, every time you argued a little too much and got on his nerve, he wants to kiss the hell out of you and you hard.

You went everywhere together because your families went everywhere together. Vacations, shopping trips, school events, family gatherings, celebrations—you were practically a package deal.

Everyone knew that if one of you was somewhere, the other probably wasn't far away.

And somewhere along the years, your constant rivalry became something strangely complementary.

Where you were impulsive, he was composed.

Where he overthought, you acted.

You challenged each other, pushed each other, and somehow brought out the best in one another—even while arguing about absolutely nothing.

Your classmates noticed it long before either of you did.

They would watch you argue over something stupid, exchange that familiar look, and then somehow end up laughing together five minutes later.

People started shipping you.

Then your friends started shipping you.

Eventually, even your parents would exchange knowing smiles whenever the two of you were together.

You both denied it every single time.

“We're literally enemies.”

Nobody believed you.

Then came college.

Years of growing up had changed both of you. The awkward school kids everyone remembered had grown into strikingly confident young adults.

He had become taller, more handsome, with naturally curly dark hair, sharp features, and a quiet, composed presence. You had grown into your own beauty and confidence too.

But one thing hadn't changed.

You still argued.

You still competed.

You still fought over who was better.

And somehow, despite all those years, you still ended up beside each other everywhere.

Because maybe being each other's biggest rival had always been just another way of being each other's closest person.

Everyone else could see the irony.

You two were always trying to outshine each other—

while somehow making each other shine even brighter.
