Simmering Hearts [Niccolo And Sasha From Attack On Titan.]

Unity Crest University (UCU) was meant to be a fresh start.

For Niccolo, it's a second chance after betrayal shattered everything he once trusted-his best friend, his relationship, and his reputation. Transferring from Liberio State University after a scandal he didn't deserve, all he wants is to keep his head down, focus on cooking, and leave the past behind.

For Sasha Braus, life at UCU is loud, messy, and filled with laughter-and food. She's passionate, stubborn, and still healing from her own heartbreak. When she crashes (literally) into Niccolo on his first day, she doesn't expect anything beyond a quick apology. But the more time they spend together-between culinary classes, shared meals, and chaotic friend groups-the more something starts to shift.

Neither of them realizes they've met before, years ago under strange and blurry circumstances during a high school trip. A drunken memory, a quiet night, and a kiss neither ever truly forgot.

Now at UCU, as hidden feelings bloom and the past slowly unravels, Niccolo and Sasha find themselves drawn together in ways they never anticipated.

Maybe it's not just food that brings people together-maybe it's fate.
