What happens when two people find each other in the same company- one an alpha who swears he doesn't need love, forced to find a fake boyfriend just to escape a marriage his parents are trying to trap him in... And the other an omega who's sassy yet gentle, fiercely independent, and loves his family enough to leave them behind for their sake? What happens when their pretend relationship starts to shift the ground beneath their feet- When something that was supposed to be fake begins to feel dangerously real? When complications appear in the form of a miracle, a heartbeat, something small yet powerful enough to change both of their lives forever? What happens when one of them disappears- leaving behind guilt, responsibility, and a love he never meant to feel- while the other is left heartbroken, confused, and angry? Was it truly hate... Or was it pain? Or was it a wound from loving someone who had to leave, even when he didn't want to? And then- what happens when they collide again five years later? One still carrying the ache of the past, and the other burdened with guilt for the hurt he caused but unable to erase the memories of the happiest- and saddest- days they shared. What happens when fate brings them back to the very love they tried to pretend wasn't real? Was it ever fake... Or was it love all along?

Like a bolt of lightning, this stupid boy appeared in my life. First day of summer break between first and second grade, he just appeared- standing on my porch like he was born there. Straight brown hair, wide dark eyes and a fresh sunburn across his cheeks. He was already talking before I even opened the door. I don't know how it happened but it's been ten years. And he's still here. Talking, whether or not I'm listening. Laughing, even if no one else is. He's still too quick- racing around the world like he's scared he's going to miss it. He's gotten taller...much taller. His hair is a little longer, a little wavier, but under the light it still looks the same golden brown it did when we were nine. And now, finally, he was a high school graduate. We both were. Like a bolt of lightning he appeared and like the sun he refused to disappear. _____________________________________________ I fell asleep with my chin pointed at him, the outline of his face being the last thing I saw. How was I supposed to do this? It had always been difficult, hiding this secret, keeping him close. But now, my focus was starting to slip. I couldn't see anything but his lips, his hands, his smile. I couldn't hear anything but my name in his mouth, his jagged breaths and that loud laugh. How am I supposed to be okay with this? How am I supposed to focus on anything other than him? #1- slowburn- 11.10.25🥇 #1- friends to lovers- 11.01.25🥇 #1- fluffandsmut- 11.02.25🥇 #1- college- 11.06.25🥇 #1- best friends- 11.12.25🥇 #1- teammates- 12.04.25 🥇 #1- college roommates- 12.30.25🥇 #1- mental health- 01.02.2026 🥇 #1- gay love- 01.02.2026 🥇 #2- roommates- 12.18.25🥈 #3- bxblove- 11.30.25🥉 #4- boyxboy- 11.01.25 #4- lgbt- 11.15.25 #14- boyxboyromance- 12.15.25 #22- basketball- 12.15.25
