you didn't come here to fall in love. you came to write. to disappear for a while. but the cottage in the irish countryside came with mismatched mugs, creaky stairs, and niall horan-barefoot, quiet, and far too kind. what begins in silence slowly unfolds: warm tea, shared songs, rainwalks, and the kind of comfort you don't have to earn. no games. no performances. just presence. you recognise him. of course you do. he's part of your childhood. but he looks at you like you're something worth staying for. this isn't a love story that shouts. it hums. and maybe that's enough.

jamie vale comes home for the weekend. his sister's new boyfriend is harry styles. it's meant to be nothing-just a few days, a few too-long glances. but jamie's childhood crush never really left him. and when harry looks back across the dinner table, something shifts. this is not a love story. it's a story about aching. restraint. a kiss that ruins everything, and the silence that follows. in one version, jamie takes control. in another, he gives it up entirely. either way, both boys cross a line they can't uncross. and in the end-jamie chooses himself. --- 🔞 Mature Rating & Warnings: This story includes sexually explicit content, emotional betrayal, and themes of unspoken longing.

you didn't mean to be seen. not in the crowd, not under the lights, not by him. but when marcus gunnarsen sings that line and the whole room disappears, you realise some moments aren't just for the stage. one rose. one backstage pass. a night that tastes like rain and questions you'll never forget. and a boy who asks if you'd have looked at him the same way if he were just another stranger in the queue. from the crush of the concert to the stillness behind heavy doors, this is the story of how a single gaze can change the tempo of everything - and how, sometimes, the real connection starts after the encore.

Jamie never expected to meet Justin Bieber at a remote wellness retreat tucked into the hills. No phones. No press. Just long baths, quiet walks, and silence thick enough to hold the parts of you you've never spoken aloud. Justin is quiet now-worn soft at the edges. He isn't the boy Jamie used to love from posters and playlists, but he's *still him*. And maybe that's enough. They read beside each other. They plant lavender. They don't talk much-but something grows between them anyway. Something real. This isn't a fanfiction about fame. It's about two people learning how to be quiet together. A love that doesn't ask for performance. A body worshipped without shame. A silence that heals, gently.

seven years of almost- two boys who grew up side by side, best friends who never said the words, love that lived in glances and quiet touches, and a seventh year where everything almost breaks, and maybe, just maybe, everything finally begins. this is a story about queer denial, repressed longing, and the courage it takes to say "i love you" without words.
