Six years ago, Yulian De Angelis and Lev Ivanov were inseparable enemies.
One childhood rivalry, one stupid fight, and one scar later, Yulian disappeared back to Italy with his family, leaving behind old friends, unfinished feelings, and a boy who never really forgot him.
Now, at eighteen, Yulian is back. Older. Quieter. Beautiful in the kind of way that makes people stare too long.
Fully tattooed, unreadable, and carrying years of distance behind careful brown eyes, he returns to America expecting everything to feel unfamiliar.
Instead, he finds the same people waiting for him.
Lev is still reckless, sharp-tongued, and impossible to ignore.
Sterling Davis is still chaos disguised as charm.
Hilal Nuri still feels like home in human form.
And somehow, despite everything that changed, their lives slip back together almost too naturally.
But old friendships aren't simple anymore.
Not when lingering resentment turns into tension.
Not when touches last too long.
Not when loyalty starts feeling dangerously close to love.
As Yulian reconnects with the people he left behind, buried feelings begin surfacing between late-night smoke breaks, crowded parties, bruised knuckles, and quiet moments nobody talks about afterward.
Some relationships heal softly.
Others ruin you first.
And for Lev and Yulian, it might be both.
