Thanos thought he knew every part of Namgyu-the way his smile curled when he lied, the way he kissed like he was trying to forget something. But love, it turns out, only shows you the half they want you to see. The late nights grow longer, the excuses blur, and the shadows under Namgyu's eyes refuse to fade. He's slipping, and Thanos feels it-like holding water with bare hands.

Because sometimes, loving someone isn't enough to save them.

And we get to watch as the walls slowly melt away. __________________________________________________________________________________ Hello! This is my first fanfiction I'm uploading to Wattpad. English is not my first language, so please be kind. I mostly post on AO3 and haven't used Wattpad in over 5 years. The full story is already up on AO3, so if you'd like, you can read it there earlier. That's all for now - I hope you enjoy the story!

BOOK 1/2 Namgyu doesn't like loud people, messy drink orders, or purple-haired guys who act like they own the room. Unfortunately, Thanos is all three. When Thanos stumbles into Namgyu's bar on a packed Saturday night and starts downing drinks like he's trying to forget something, Namgyu figures he'll be gone in an hour. Instead, Thanos keeps coming back-mouthy, reckless, and annoyingly hard to ignore. They don't like each other. They don't want to like each other. But between the snide remarks, spilled shots, and lingering glares, something starts brewing-and it's not just the drinks. - 1🥇#thangyu 7/10/2025 2 🥈#namgyu 7/10/2025
