They were never supposed to fall in love at least, not in the way it happened.
Caleb, quiet and observant, learns to navigate life through gentle glances and unspoken feelings. Aren, distant yet magnetic, hides more than just his past. When fate makes them housemates, they begin building something soft and sacred-late-night talks, warm silences, and moments that feel like more.
But love, when left unspoken, turns fragile. Caleb dares to hope. Aren dares not to.
Caught between what they feel and what the world expects, they drift along a line that blurs friendship and something deeper until a single sentence breaks it all.
In a story of almosts and what-ifs, Caleb and Aren must confront the quiet truth...

Almost, Always 🍁🥀
"Almost, Always" 🍁🌹 Some people enter your life like whispers...soft, sudden, and gone before you can hold on. She didn't expect to see him again. Not after years, not like this. Not when she had finally learned how to forget the boy who never truly left her mind. But fate isn't loud..it's quiet, casual... cruel. In a classroom filled with noise, their glances screamed stories. A slow-burn connection, unsaid words, and almosts that could've been everything. This is not a fairytale. This is a memory rewritten..with the ending she deserved.
What We Lost, What We Found
There was a time when they had everything-passion, devotion, and an unspoken promise that they were unbreakable. But love, no matter how intense, was never immune to destruction. Somewhere along the way, they lost each other. It wasn't sudden. It wasn't one single moment that shattered them. It was the slow unraveling-the quiet resentments, the miscommunications, the betrayals they were too stubborn to fix. And when the final blow landed, it was devastating. Words were thrown like weapons, wounds were left open, and one of them walked away. But fate had a way of forcing people back together. Of making them face what they thought was long gone. Of testing whether what was lost could ever be found again. Now, standing on opposite sides of something neither of them could name, they were no longer the same people they used to be. Time had changed them. Pain had shaped them. But the pull between them-the one that had always existed-was still there, waiting. The question wasn't whether they could find their way back. It was whether they wanted to.

Running Parallel
*Work in progress, 2025* It was dark. He was drunk. It never should have happened Nineteen-year-old Luke may have pined over his best friend, Caleb, for the last few years, but he always thought Caleb wasn't interested. Until the night of the party, when he drank himself stupid to ignore his breaking heart, and he woke up in bed, alone, with the memory of what they'd done. In the days that follow, Luke grows more and more frustrated. Caleb only ever alludes to that night in indirect ways, and Luke can't understand why. He wants to talk to Caleb about it, but it's nearly impossible, especially when Caleb's busy smiling down at his phone. When tension between them finally hits its breaking point, Luke learns a devastating secret, one that Caleb hadn't even known he'd been keeping. Because the boy Luke slept with at the party? It wasn't Caleb. Twenty-one years old, still living at home and working nights as a shelf stocker at the local grocery store, Connor is Caleb's older brother. Quiet and watchful, he studies people and tries to act like them, but something is always missing. Like being the last to hear the punchline. He goes through his days by following a routine and avoiding other people. It's not always easy with a social butterfly for a brother. He hadn't meant to lie. Hadn't even known he was lying until after. But by then, it was too late. He knew he couldn't tell the truth or he'd risk hurting those around him. Two versions of that night happened, but only one can be true.
