Love Her For Both of Us // CaitVi // Arcane // wlw
Vi wasn't looking for anything. Her late night café shifts were quiet and predictable. The same faces. The same city lights. Then Evelyn started showing up. She never said much. Never touched her coffee. Always stared at the skyline like it meant something only she could see. Vi tried not to notice, but Evelyn lingered in her thoughts. She was calm, distant, but not cold. Familiar in a way that didn't make sense. Vi told herself it didn't matter. But she found herself waiting for the quiet footsteps at closing time. For the silence between them. For the questions she wasn't ready to ask. She didn't know it yet, but Evelyn was only the beginning. There was someone else waiting. Someone she could be with. Someone who could love her back.

Where Silence Lingers
"If things were different..." Jeff's voice trails off. Ivy finishes it for him: "We would've been something, right?" He fell for her when she was still learning how to let people close. She fell for him when he'd already learned how to stay safe behind silence. They walk the same campus, smile the same polite smiles, and avoid the same memories they both keep replaying at night. Jeff doesn't blame her for falling late - he thinks she deserves a love without hesitation. Ivy keeps drifting toward him anyway - a little too curious, a little too attached to the version of him she once imagined. Some stories don't arrive loudly. Some slip in quietly, in the hesitation before a confession, in the space between two hearts that almost touched. A tender, aching slow-burn about timing, courage, and the love that waits in the quiet.
Unwritten Pages
I was never meant to stand out. Just a quiet guy in a crowded world-walking hallways, reading books I never cared about, watching people laugh from a distance. Then one day... she forgot her book in the library, Hana. She didn't say much. She never smiled. But for the first time, I saw someone who felt like a reflection of me - Alone. Detached. Tired. I don't know why I picked up her book, but I did. And that one, simple decision? It changed everything. This isn't some perfect love story. We didn't fall fast. We just... found each other-in the silence, in the grief, in the little moments most people overlook. This is about loneliness. About losing everything. About finding someone when you've stopped looking. And about learning to live, even when your days are numbered. This is our story. These are our... Unwritten Pages.Complete
