Kaevielle Eirlys Balmora and Guiller Aleksander Avaleir never imagined their paths would cross in a way that would change everything. Both caught in the quiet heartbreak of broken relationships, they find themselves as seatmates in nursing school, sharing subtle gestures, small smiles, and fleeting conversations - nothing more... at first.
As life unexpectedly pulls them together through family connections and coincidental trips abroad, what started as quiet companionship slowly blossoms into something neither of them can ignore. From shared laughter in class to intimate, stolen moments in the privacy of their worlds, their bond grows - patiently, secretly, and beautifully.
Through late-night coffees, whispered confessions, and the comfort of just being with each other, Guiller and Kaevielle discover that love doesn't always arrive with fireworks. Sometimes, it's quiet. Sometimes, it's gentle. And sometimes, it's been right beside you all along.
Will the space between them finally disappear - or will fear and hesitation keep them apart?

The Guy I Could Never Have
Some people arrive quietly. No fireworks. No background music. Just a look. A name. A violet shirt in a white room. You don't realize it's the start. Not until you're too far in. I didn't fall for him the way stories say you should. There was no moment of knowing. Just a slow ache that built between library tables and half-finished coffee cups. The kind of love that feels like a question no one teaches you how to ask. We were never official. Never obvious. We were playlists. Eye contact. A sentence that almost sounded like confession-until it didn't. And somewhere in that space between almost and never, I became someone I didn't recognize. Someone quieter. Smaller. And then... someone who walked away. This is not a story about the guy I ended up with. This is about the one I couldn't have. The one who arrived too late. The one who taught me that not all love stories need a happy ending- Some just need a girl who finally chooses herself. And this time, I did.Complete

You Talk Too Much
Nicolas didn't want friends. Didn't want attention. Definitely didn't want her. But then Lina sat next to him. Every. Single. Day. She talked through the awkward silences, laughed at her own jokes, and asked questions he never answered. She was chaos in sneakers and bubblegum lip gloss - and he wanted nothing to do with her. ...Until he did. Because somehow, her noise started drowning out the thoughts he didn't know how to escape. And her voice became the only thing that made the silence bearable. This isn't a love story. Not at first. This is a story about a boy who lost his spark... And the girl who wouldn't let him disappear quietly. ✅ Nicolas ✅ Lina ✅ "You Talk Too Much" ✅ High school setting ✅ Healing + chaos + slow-burn (Btw I forgot to add that there will be no smut of any kind in this story. Maybe an innocent kiss or something but nothing else)
