"We say we're friends, but I'm catching you across the room It makes no sense 'cause we're fighting over what we do And there's no way that I'll end up being with you But friends don't look at friends that way" matt sturniolo x fem oc ***CONTAINS MATURE LANGUAGE***

She traveled across the world just to leave behind a letter. He read it and never forgot it. Matt Sturniolo didn't expect to find peace in the middle of a fan tour. Melinda didn't expect to find love where she once only found survival. But when a cigarette gets stubbed out, when a boy finds his initials tattooed above her heart, when the world watches and they choose each other anyway- It's not just romance. It's a love story that ruins the internet. Slow-burn. Soft-boy chaos. Hoodie-sharing. And a cat named Freya who owns the whole damn house.

GENRE: strangers to lovers | slow-burn | They met under neon lights, too loud music, and the kind of LA chaos that only makes sense in hindsight. Calliope "Cali" Selma is the modeling world's newest obsession- confident, chaotic, and always three steps ahead of the game. Chris Sturniolo is the hoodie-wearing YouTube boy who jokes too much, flirts too easily, and feels everything harder than he lets on. They weren't supposed to mean anything to each other. But the universe had other plans. From unexpected group chats to late-night car rides, TikTok trends to unspoken glances, their story unfolds slowly- in phases. Like the moon. And maybe, just maybe, something real is waiting on the other side of "just friends." 🌙 This is their story. This is how the light found them in the dark.

in which.... 2 souls are intertwined once again after being ripped apart. ♡

Melinda is a singer who quietly pours her heart into an album she never intends to explain - until her music reaches Chris, the one person she's always loved but never told. As songs unfold secrets and hopes, the group of her friends watches a guarded young man slowly open to love, vulnerability, and a future he never dared to imagine. Through music, whispered truths, and gentle moments, they discover that sometimes, love isn't about rushing - it's about waiting for the right song to be heard. I don't know if this is good. This was just an idea I had.
