Lana."
Falling for your best friend is a slow, quiet kind of magic-the kind that sneaks up on you in the little moments. It's knowing their every quirk, their favorite songs, the way they laugh when they're really happy. It's feeling safe with them, like home isn't a place but a person.
At first, nothing changes. You still talk for hours about everything and nothing. You still share inside jokes that make no sense to anyone else. But then, one day, you notice the way their eyes light up when they talk, and it hits differently. Their touch lingers just a second longer, and suddenly, you're hyper-aware of it. You start catching yourself staring, feeling your heart race when they get too close, wanting to be around them even more than before.
The beauty of best friends-to-lovers is that love isn't rushed-it's built on trust, history, and a bond that already feels unshakable. It's realizing that the person who has always been there, the one who knows you better than anyone, is also the one who makes your heart beat the fastest. And the best part? If they feel the same, love doesn't feel like a risk. It feels like coming home.
