Minoru is quiet. Guarded. Always a little alone.
Chiyo is softness wrapped in sunlight. Sleepy smiles, warm tea, and a secret he never meant to share.
They meet by accident. Stay by choice.
And somewhere between quiet afternoons, unsaid things, and moments that stretch too long, something begins to bloom.
But Chiyo's time is limited.
Diagnosed with an incurable illness years ago, he lives slowly now. Deliberately, like every hour is borrowed.
Minoru knows now. He doesn't care.
These are their days. Their moments.
Some tender. Some messy. Some unbearably quiet.
This is what love looks like when you don't have forever, only now.

Finding Life Again
Raised by cold parents who never offered him a glimpse of affection, Kai dedicated his life to earning the love he never received at home. Successful in his studies and devoted to his passions, he found a romance that ultimately shattered him, coupled with the harsh realization that he had failed and that his parents would never acknowledge him. A year after his graduation, Kai felt lost and unsure of how to chart his path forward. Clinging to the one person who had never left his side, he resolved to confront the traumas that haunted him. He never anticipated that the person who would help him the most would be someone he had met right at the beginning of his journey. SMALL EXCLAIMER/ The story doesn't visually describe sexual scenes. There are just a few makeout scenes. The first few chapters are describing a person who is slightly depressed and some light anxiety behaviour situations. It is not a heavy book. The characters are not abusive. The relationships are healthy, and I hope my book is as positive and easy to read as I wanted it to be. However, for some people can be triggering as there are mentions of anxiety and social awkwardness.Complete

Bloom in the wake of Ruin ⚣ ✔️
"Excuse me, sir. I think you may have dropped these?" It was the voice I noticed first. Smooth, a little amused, and low enough to draw me out of myself. Then I saw him. Dirty blonde hair that looked like waves crashing down the sides of his face, and freckles like splattered paint across his fair skin. A silver hoop in his nose, another in his brow, both catching the light. And those eyes... electric blue, staring into my green ones with intensity. - After a heartbreaking loss, Killian has spent two years shielding himself from love, or any human contact really-convinced that no one could ever replace the person he lost.
