home to you

Asante has been your protector since you were both just kids in the hallways of middle school, the big brother who eventually became the only man you ever truly loved. Through your mother’s toxicity and the dangerous whispers of the streets, he was your only safe harbor—the one person who saw the real you when the world was trying to break you. Now, with your mother finally kicking you out and nowhere left to turn, you find yourself on his doorstep at midnight. Asante is no longer just the boy from the math class; he’s a man with his own life, his own scars, and a heart that has been waiting for you to finally come home.
