France Leo Salvejo grew up angry at the world-broken, unloved, and alone. Hardened by a past he never chose and scars he never deserved, he learned to survive without expecting warmth... or mercy. He never imagined that salvation would arrive in something as simple as a smile. Then came Dave Ryan Tecson. Through Dave, France slowly learns how to live again. In his presence, he finds understanding, acceptance, and a friendship that feels safe-until it doesn't. What begins as companionship quietly deepens into something far more dangerous: a feeling neither of them is prepared to name. They say love is simple. But what if it comes in a form you were never ready to face? Between shared laughter and unspoken longing, the line between friendship and love begins to blur. There's always a thin line between love and friendship. The question is-are they brave enough to cross it?

Some people pass through your life like seasons. Others stay like weather - constant, unpredictable, unforgettable. For Gelo, it was always him. A glance across a crowded room. A conversation that felt like fate. A thousand almosts, and yet - never quite. Years pass, cities change, and relationships come and go, but one name still echoes in his thoughts: the one who was never truly him... yet never truly gone. Told through lyrical prose and raw memory, Almost You, Always You is a story of what lingers - in the heart, in the silence, in the spaces between what was said and what was never dared. It's about the love that shaped a life, even without a promise. Even without a future. Because some loves don't need to be lived to be unforgettable
