They've been inseparable since kindergarten.
Best friends in every way that matters.
Eddie Munson and Y/N Baker grew up tangled together-sleepovers in the same bed, scraped knees, pool parties, shared secrets, and flunked classes they laughed their way through. When Eddie got held back, Y/N stayed right there with him.
Ride or die... always.
They learned each other in all the quiet, ordinary ways-how Eddie takes his cereal, how Y/N laughs when she's trying not to cry, how neither of them ever really feels alone as long as the other is close.
But then puberty hit.
And suddenly everything that was easy... wasn't.
They still do all the same things - late nights, borrowed clothes, quiet confessions in the dark - but Eddie can't ignore the way Y/N has changed. Can't stop noticing the way she fits differently against him now. The way her clothes pull a little tighter in certain places. The way his chest tightens when she smiles at someone else. The way every harmless touch feels like it means something it never used to.
And worst of all... he can't tell her.
Because wanting her feels like betrayal.
Because one wrong move could ruin the only constant he's ever had.
Because loving your best friend means risking everything you already have.
And Eddie Munson has never been good at playing it safe.
