The Missing Part

Dwayne and Alsher lived in each other's shadows, two classmates in elementary to college who never shared more than passing glances. But when quiet curiosity turns into something unspoken, Dwayne finds himself drawn to the guy who hides behind silence.

Alsher, who grew up in a house where love meant meeting impossible expectations, learned to survive by building walls that no one could climb on. At first, Dwayne only wants to get closer to him, but the more they share moments together, he realizes that his feelings for Alsher grew slowly, slipping past the line of friendship without him noticing. It's quiet moments that built up over the years, until he finally realized that what he felt wasn't admiration anymore, but love.

A story about unspoken feelings, broken trust, and the quiet ache of loving someone who spent his whole life pushing people away.
