Prince Nam-gyu has always lived under the weight of duty, chained to the crown he never wanted. But when the royal bard, Thanos, sings a song that feels like a secret meant only for him, Nam-gyu's carefully built walls begin to crack. In a kingdom where love between a prince and a bard is forbidden, how long can he resist the pull of a heart that refuses to stay silent?

If Thanos stayed alive + other Characters! This contains some sensitive topics so read in ur own risk lil bro

They weren't dating. They weren't in love. They were just two idiots who survived something they never talk about - and somehow ended up sharing a life together. They sleep in the same bed, do everything side by side, and brush off every joke about them like it's nothing. But somewhere between midnight snack runs, inside jokes, and falling asleep tangled up in each other... It stops feeling like nothing. A slow-burn story about two best friends who don't realize they're everything the other's been looking for - until they do.

when nam-gyu and thanos meet at the club pentagon, nam-gyu battles with his feelings of internalized homophobia. (thanos is a yearner) this is an au where the games don't happen. (THIS IS A REMAKE OF MY OWN FIC THAT I STARTED AND THEN BROKE MY PHONE AND LOST THE ACCOUNT TO THE WATTPAD CURSE IS REAL.) (each chapter is roughly 1000 words and there is a song linked for each one they're all optional but relevant!) "The water was too hot, but I wouldn't turn it down. My skin was already red, but I kept scrubbing anyway, as if I could wash off something that wasn't there. Not dirt, or sweat-something shameful, something much filthier. It didn't do anything. The memories were under my skin, not on it."

Nam-gyu swore he transferred schools to focus - new start, new grades, no distractions. But then there's Thanos: loud, flirty, annoyingly confident, and somehow everywhere Nam-gyu turns. He calls him "bunny," "kitty," and occasionally "Namsu," just to watch him get irritated. Nam-gyu tells himself he hates it - hates him - but his heart doesn't seem to agree. When they get paired for a history project, lines start to blur between rivalry and something warmer. Thanos, who swears he's straight, can't seem to stop wanting Nam-gyu's attention. And Nam-gyu, who's spent his life trying to stay invisible, suddenly finds himself being seen - and it's terrifyingly nice. Two boys, one history project, a whole lot of teasing, tension, and late-night studying that might just turn into something else. High school's about to get complicated.

Nam-gyu's first party ends with him meeting someone interesting

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. When love starts to look like enabling, and secrets weigh more than promises, Thanos is forced to choose between the boy he loves... and the truth he's terrified to face. Because sometimes, loving someone isn't enough to save them.
