Hey guys, it's R!

So- Could You Love Me was written while I was sort of in the dumps over a rejection that I'd faced (basically the first chapter is inspired by my real life)- and I essentially whipped up a happy ending of sorts?

It's basically so that I stop obsessing over it. It's healthy yall shut up/

But Zeph's song "Could you love me while I hate myself" was a major anthem through this time, and is therefore the title of the fic.

I'd been feeling like I wasn't enough- like I didn't even blame them for not liking me back? And my self esteem and body image issues sort of jumped back and it was really really hard to sort of come out of it and still be able to talk and interact with them- because they really are important in my life.  

Point being- these themes are touched upon in the story, so please consider this as my official trigger warning (though I will put specific ones later).

The fic outlines 4 moments in Mrunali and Manan's lives- told from Mrunali's POV. There's a lot left unsaid and a lot that you guys are going to have read between the lines- but honestly I personally love fics that make me think.

Also- characters are Indian- based in Mumbai, and they're roughly 18-19-20.

This is kinda the first time I'm writing something that isn't a fanfic, so I really hope you like it!
