*Arjun x Reyansh | ft. Kiara | BL | Slow Burn | Canon Divergent
---
Nobody talks about certain things at St. Teresa's College.
Not in the classrooms, not in the corridors, not in the families that send their children here to become something. There is a language for ambition, for rivalry, for love between the right people in the right order. There is no language for what Arjun Malhotra has been carrying since he was fourteen. There is no language for what Reyansh Nanda doesn't know yet is coming for him.
They meet as competition.
Two names at the top of every list. Two boys who are too evenly matched to ignore each other and too proud to admit that ignoring each other has stopped being possible. The Student of the Year title sits between them like a dare - clean, simple, something both of them understand.
What comes after is less clean. Less simple.
It starts as wanting to win.
Then wanting to understand.
Then wanting, without reason or permission, to just be in the same room.
By the time either of them looks directly at what it actually is - it has already been true for a long time.
And Kiara Sharma, who loved Reyansh first and saw everything first, is quietly watching the shape of something she was never supposed to see.
This is not a story about a love triangle.
This is a story about what happens when two people fall into each other without a map, in a world that never offered one.
Slow. Heavy. Real.
Some things, no matter how carefully you bury them, refuse to stay buried.
