Beneath a Sky Full of Stars
Caden Alexander Martinez already spent years trying to move on from his first love, his best friend, Steven Caelix Montenegro.
Back in senior high, Steven became Caden's comfort person. The late-night calls, small acts of care, and the way Steven treated him so gently slowly made Caden fall in love. But when Caden finally confessed, Steven chose someone else.
Now in college, they meet again, But this time, Steven feels different. The boy who once rejected him suddenly can't stop staying close, taking care of him, and looking at him like losing Caden was the biggest mistake of his life.
As old feelings return between chaotic friendships, luxurious parties, family problems, and painful secrets, Caden finds himself stuck between protecting his heart or falling for Steven all over again.
Because maybe loving Steven was never just a simple crush.
Maybe it was always something more.
