North was never meant to let anyone in.

Born with the ability to see the exact moment someone will die, he did spent his life in fear - not of death, but of love.
Because loving someone has always meant watching them go.

And there was Johan.
The only one who has made North feel safe enough to almost believe in something more.

But he died.
Right in front of North and he never saw it coming.
When Johan miraculously comes back to life, North sees nothing.
No time, no ending, no glimpse of fate.

And that terrifies him more than death ever did.

Because in the end,
it was never death that haunted him.
The fear was love itself.

The Heart's Compass 2: To North, Always. by MaxxieHope
34 parts Complete
"Even when the world gets loud, love knows how to speak softly." A year after their slowburn relationship, Johan and North are no longer just two people drawn together by chance-they're each other's favorite constant. Johan, now a fourth-year medical student, is stepping into the fast-paced world of clinical rotations, chasing his dream of becoming a surgeon with unwavering focus. North, meanwhile, is thriving still as the Powerhouse Council President, leading with heart, innovation, and his signature easygoing charm. Life is busier than ever. Their days are packed with responsibilities, meetings, hospital rounds, and endless deadlines. But love? Love has found its rhythm in the quiet moments-the late-night video calls, the surprise visits, the comforting words towards each other, and the simple fact that no matter how far apart they are during the day, they always find their way back to each other. In this next chapter of their journey, Johan and North learn that love doesn't have to be loud or grand to be real. Sometimes, it's in the way Johan remembers North's favorite after a long shift. Or how North cheers Johan, just to feel closer when they're apart. Their matching rings were the symbol of their never-ending love for each other. To North, Always is a soft, heartwarming continuation of The Heart's Compass-a celebration of love that adapts, strengthens, and stays steady, even when life gets busy. Because some hearts don't just fall in love. They grow in it.
