She Was Chaos, Yet I Only Felt Calm Book One of the "In All the Ways We Stayed" Series --- 🌸 Premise: Kazama fell first. Quietly. Slowly. Completely. He didn't even know when it began-maybe when she refused to stop calling him Kazama-nii, maybe when she dragged him to the library in glitter sandals, or maybe when she made him a crown out of weeds and called it a loyalty hat. Himawari was the chaos he never planned for. Bold, impulsive, loud, and everywhere. She didn't wait for permission, she just arrived-in his room, in his plans, and eventually... in his heart. But for someone who felt everything, Kazama said very little. Until the moment came when he couldn't hold it in anymore. This isn't the story of falling in love. It's the story of knowing you already did, long before you were ready to say it out loud. --- 💞 Main Tropes: He Fell First (and hid it well) Childhood Friends to Lovers Protective Male Lead with a Quiet Crush Sunshine x Reserved Slow Burn → Emotional Confession Found Family & Loud Group Teasing Flirty Girl, Loyal Boy Academic x Chaos Energy Domestic Romance + College Chaos 📣 For Readers Who Love: Emotional slow-burns with satisfying payoffs The boy who notices everything-but says nothing until it matters Chaos vs Calm pairings that just click Series like "A Silent Voice", "Horimiya", "Weathering With You" Fiction that explores love built on constancy, comfort, and quiet choices
