The first few weeks of their relationship were a whirlwind of emotions. They were both excited and nervous, happy and scared. They had spent years hiding their feelings, and now they were finally free to be themselves.

They spent their days together, exploring the campus, going to movies, sharing meals, and talking for hours on end. They were both amazed at how much they had missed, how much they had changed, how much they had grown.

But there was still a shadow of uncertainty hanging over them. They had both been hurt in the past, and they were both afraid of getting hurt again. They were afraid of losing each other, afraid of what the future might hold.

One night, as they were sitting in Ethan's dorm, Liam looked at him, his eyes filled with a mixture of love and fear.

"Ethan," he said, his voice soft. "I'm scared. What if this doesn't work out? What if we end up hurting each other?"

Ethan took Liam's hand, his heart filled with a sense of certainty. "Liam, I know it's scary, but I'm willing to take the risk. I love you, and I'm not going to let fear stop me from being with you."

Liam looked at him, his eyes filled with tears. "I love you too, Ethan. More than anything."
