Who shows up without being asked, who carried everyone else's pain like they were his own. But beneath the composure lives a boy who has been keeping the most dangerous secret of his life - one that has no name and absolutely no business existing between best friends. Varun Menon was never supposed to feel this way. Charming, guarded and devastatingly composed, he had spent years convincing the world - and himself - that he was untouchable. He swore to never love again, but somewhere between childhood and now, his best friend became the one exception. They have been each other's constants for over a decade. Through heartbreak, ambition, grief and the beautiful chaos of growing up. What they have always called friendship, has been quietly becoming something neither of them has the courage to say out loud. But loving each other was never the hardest part. It was what came after. The secrets that surfaced. The hands that pull them apart and the price that someone else has already decided they should pay. They didn't choose this. But they could not outrun it either. Years later when fate finally brings them together - will what they had built be strong enough to survive what it cost them ? ✧· · ─ ·𖥸· ─ · ·✧ 𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑦 𝑖𝑛 𝐸𝑛𝑔𝑙𝑖𝑠ℎ 🫶 𝐻𝒶𝓅𝓅𝓎 𝑅𝑒𝒶𝒹𝒾𝓃𝑔 🎵

Souls who never imagined they would be united one day. Souls who never imagined that one would heal wounds they never caused, gently kissing the scars left behind, while the other would fall harder with every passing moment. Souls who never imagined that one would love quietly and patiently, while the other would finally gather the courage to share the pain they had carried alone. Souls who never imagined that one would fall in love at first sight, while the other would slowly learn how to give their heart again. Souls who never imagined that one would stand against the world and say "you are enough" while the other would love them as naturally as breathing. This is a journey of family, friendships, healing, sacrifice, respect, silent glances, patience, and a love that begins like a spark and grows into something eternal. It is the story of two souls destined to find each other, proving that when love is arranged by the Deity, it can become truly immense when two hearts choose to walk through life together.

"You're atheist," I remind him. "You don't believe in god." "I believe in you," He murmurs, letting the cigarette hang from his lips. "I believe in whatever you believe." He says, letting the confession roll off his tongue as if it were that simple. As if god, the devil, heaven, hell-as if none of it really had meaning to him. "That's not how it works," I mutter as we walk down a few more alleyways-the city of Manhattan coated in a light blanket of snow. Henry Vitiello had never had anything to pray for, that is, until he met me-the only thing that had ever opened his mind up to the possibility of religion "Isn't it?" He argues, taking the cigarette by his middle and pointer finger before blowing the smoke out. "I'II dip my hands in holy water if it means I could touch you." "You'd probably burn." 𓆩♡𓆪 𝐇𝐄𝐍𝐑𝐘 𝐕𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐎, the reaper. He's a prick. An asshole. A pretentious son of a bitch. He's not perfect. He's not even decent. But he's hers.

Completed • First Draft - not edited. || "You gonna sit there all night?" Luka glances at me, smirking. I glare back.

"Because I was thinking the same thing." || The rules? Easy enough. 1. Pretend to be the perfect couple. 2. Keep it professional. 3. And whatever you do, don't. catch. feelings. Simple, right?
