There is space, that is waiting to be filled with warmth. And neither know how to do that. Warnings: ☁️ Age Gap ☁️ Contains MPreg ☁️ Short Chapters ☁️ Panic Attack ☁️ Mildly mature scenes

"We are not supposed to do this Pond... it's wrong..." "My dear sparrow, since when loving someone has to be wrong?" "But Nara... it's against the Order." "I don't care about the Order anymore. All I care about is you. A future with you. A lifetime with you." Love was never forbidden. Choice was. Centuries ago, the Letratkosum clan survived a succession crisis that nearly destroyed the family business. To prevent disputes over inheritance and preserve bloodlines while maintaining political marriages between powerful families, they created the "Second Bond"-a secret arrangement where the heir produces an heir through an appointed partner, while the public marriage preserves alliances. Every heir inherited the same fate: a loveless marriage, a chosen companion, and children born not from affection, but obligation. Pond Naravit Letratkosum was raised to believe that duty came before desire. Yet the moment Phuwin Tangsakyuen walked into his life-not by choice, but by force-every certainty he had ever known began to unravel. Phuwin was never meant to be loved. He was only supposed to fulfil a role, obey a Bond, and disappear into its shadows. But in the middle of stolen conversations, silent comforts, and a kindness neither of them expected, two hearts committed the greatest sin their world had ever known. They fell in love. And in a family where traditions were valued above humanity, loving each other was the one crime that could destroy them both. Because some legacies are inherited, others are meant to be broken. ~forbidden love, forced proximity ⚠️Please check Author's Note for discretion. #1 salvation #1 sin

"Phuwin can't be seen. Pond won't stop looking." When Phuwin wakes up on his 19th birthday invisible, he thinks it's the universe's gift for entertainment. Turns out it's a genetic curse - one that only goes away when he loses his virginity to his soulmate, whoever that is. The catch? Only they can see him. Enter Pond: engineering student, rival group leader, and the infuriatingly attractive person who can somehow see Phuwin when literally no one else can. Now Phuwin's juggling invisibility chaos, avoiding his enemy group, and dealing with the fact that the universe apparently has a sense of humor - a dark, messy, undeniably chaotic one.

Six years ago, Pond lost contact with the boy he secretly loved. Now, Pond lives a quiet life running his café, while Phuwin has become a famous actor and singer whose life is far from peaceful. Phuwin doesn't know that the mysterious stranger who saved him that night was the same boy he left behind six years ago. When fate brings them together again, Pond becomes Phuwin's bodyguard. Some feelings fade with time. Others were never meant to.

I hold your name and not your love. My heart answers only to you, though its rhythm lives far from your touch. In the eyes of the world I am yours - in your eyes I am unwanted, your husband in name only.

Everyone in the hospital knows Dr. Pond Naravit. The country's most respected cardiothoracic surgeon. The youngest department head. The man people secretly call Lord Naravit. Brilliant. Demanding. Untouchable. Heartless. At least, that's what everyone says. Then Phuwin Tangsakyuen arrives. A chaotic new intern who crashes into Pond's carefully ordered life from the very first day. What begins as a rivalry between an impossible surgeon and an infuriating intern slowly turns into something neither of them expects. Between exhausting shifts, emergency surgeries, sleepless nights, and moments of quiet vulnerability, Phuwin begins to see the man behind the reputation-a man who remembers whether he's eaten, notices when he's exhausted, and waits outside operating rooms longer than he should. And for the first time, the hospital begins to notice it too. Because Dr. Pond Naravit may seem heartless to everyone else, but when it comes to Phuwin, he cares far more than he intends to. The problem is that feelings are far more complicated than medicine, and neither of them knows what to do when concern becomes affection, affection becomes love, and suddenly the person who irritates them most becomes the one they can't imagine losing.

# PROLOGUE There was only one problem with Pond Naravit's life. Okay. Maybe several. But the biggest one? Phuwin. Aou's younger brother. His best friend's younger brother. The one person he should never, ever fall for. Unfortunately, nobody had informed his heart. For years, Pond had convinced himself it was just a crush. A harmless one. One that would disappear eventually. It didn't. In fact, it only got worse. Especially every time Phuwin smiled at him. And now? Phuwin was about to start university. The same university. The same campus. The same place where Pond spent most of his time. Which meant avoiding him was no longer an option. What could possibly go wrong? The answer was simple. Everything. # AUTHOR'S NOTE Hello everyone! 👋 This is my first time writing a fanfiction, so please be kind. 🥹 I hope you'll enjoy reading My Off-Limits Crush as much as I enjoy writing it. 💙 Thank you for giving my story a chance!

Between his fourth-year classes, juggling two grueling part-time jobs, and trying to save every penny for himself and his brother, love is a luxury he can't afford. Especially not love directed at Phuwin. Phuwin is everything Pond isn't: rich,spoiled, and a chaotic playboy who breezes through life breaking hearts without a second thought. Oh, and one more thing-Phuwin only dates girls. Pond knows he's invisible to someone like him, but when a sudden twist of fate forces the two into each other's orbits, the friction is immediate. This is a story about a spoiled playboy who treats the world as his personal playground meets a fiercely protective, overworked student. But can a guy who has never had to care about anyone learn to love someone who has everything to lose? A pondphuwin fanfic inspired by a Daydiesel ship😉 Enjoy:)

Pond returns to Thailand for his best friend Joong's week-long wedding, facing constant family pressure to marry. Used to a carefree life in the US, he earns an instant reputation as a playboy. This immediately clashes with Phuwin-the sharp-tongued, protective best friend of the groom, Dunk. Their week is filled with petty bickering and constant fighting, but constant proximity turns their silly rivalries into intense sexual tension. When the wedding ends, ego and hesitation keep both from confessing their true feelings, forcing them to walk away and return to their separate lives. But, destiny has another plan... let's see... ✔️ Enemies with benefits ✔️ Enemies to lovers ✔️Smut 🔞 ⚠️ It's a short story about PondPhuwin, and me-and my crappy mind. Don't judge me. Read this as a fictional story. If there are any errors, bear with me; I wrote it all at once.
