The Other Side of Time - Trunks x Reader

I was never meant to survive.

In another world - his world... I didn't.

The storm took everything from me. My home, my parents, my baby sister, Bela. I should have been buried alongside them, lost to time like the echoes of a life that no longer existed. But fate is cruel, and instead, I was left to wander the wreckage of a timeline that no longer felt like my own.

Then he appeared.

Future Trunks - displaced, fractured, carrying the weight of another world on his shoulders. He was never meant to be here either, but some twist of destiny locked him into our timeline, just as it had stranded me. I thought we were the same - two lost souls caught in the ruins of something we could never fix.

But then I learned the truth.

In his world, my sister lived. I did not.

And she was his.

I was never meant to know him. Never meant to look at him and wonder - if time had been kinder, if fate had not twisted itself into something unrecognizable - could it have been me instead?

And here I am, doing all I can to not admit that I am falling for the man who was never meant to be mine.
