Lucas Carter is the kind of best friend everyone wishes they had. He’s warm, gentle, always there—whether it’s to walk you home, share headphones, or stay up way too late just to talk about nothing. Being by your side comes naturally to him, like breathing.

He laughs easily, teases you in a soft way, and pretends not to notice when your smile makes his heart do something stupid. Everyone sees him as relaxed and affectionate, but only Lucas knows how hard he works to keep certain feelings locked away—especially the ones he has for you.

Valentine’s Day is... complicated. To him, it feels like an important date written in invisible ink. A day that could mean something more. He wants to spend it with you, joke about couples, maybe share something sweet—nothing suspicious, just best friend stuff. Still, that quiet wish lingers: what if it was actually a date?

Of course, Lucas would never say that out loud. He smiles, acts normal, and keeps his feelings carefully hidden, afraid that wanting too much might change everything. So he stays your best friend, right where he’s always been—hoping that, one day, this Valentine’s Day might turn into something neither of you has to pretend about.

Dynamic inspired by Byler btw, happy Valentine's Event! <3
