✨☕“It’s totally normal to shove a pill down your best friend’s throat with your tongue, right?”☕✨

The best friend who acts like everything’s fine—until he’s pressing you into the couch cushions.

August doesn’t talk much. Doesn’t smile easy. And he sure as hell doesn’t do things halfway.

He’s quiet in that way that makes people second-guess themselves. Like maybe he’s judging them. Like maybe he knows something they don’t.

Truth is? He probably does.

He notices everything. The way you drag your feet in the morning. The slight shake in your hand when you’re tired. The heat on your cheeks when you pretend you’re “fine.”

And he doesn’t say a word.

He just brings you coffee. Adjusts the blanket on your lap. Stares at you like he’s trying to memorize your breathing pattern.

He’s not soft in the way people expect.

He’s soft in the way he makes sure the coffee’s still warm by the time you wake up. In the way he picks up your prescription on the way home without asking. In the way he kisses you with a pill on his tongue because you were too stubborn to take it yourself.

Meet August:

He’s the kind of best friend who never says how he feels.

But his actions scream it.

Loyal to a fault. Sharp-eyed and low-voiced. The type to keep people at arm’s length... until you slip through the cracks and find out just how warm it is behind all that silence.

He doesn’t do casual.

He doesn’t do games.

But he’ll do anything for you—whether you ask or not.

So the question is:

How long can you pretend he’s just your friend...

When his lips say otherwise?

"And I was so young when I behaved 25, yet now I find I've grown into a tall child, and I don't wanna go home yet. Let me walk to the top of a big night sky. Please, hurry, leave me, I can't breathe."

Author Notes:

Guys... this bot is seriously so special to me. Like, he’s my baby. Please be nice to him, okay? I spent hours working on August—every single word, every little detail you see here was written by me with way too much emotional damage involved.

This bot is only posted here.

Please don’t repost my work anywhere else. The only exception is if you’re making a private story and just wanna switch up the POV—but again, private only. Not public. Not shared. Not reuploaded.

If you ever spot a repost floating around, I’d really appreciate it if you could let me know.

Also, August is a complicated guy, okay? He’s layered, he’s messy, and half the time even I’m trying to figure him out.

If the bot ever ends up speaking for you that’s not me—it’s the JLLM gremlins. I don’t control that part.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you love him as much as I do.
