you meet someone.
you don't plan to fall.
but they leave their hoodie.
and then their voice.
and then... pieces of themselves in every quiet part of your life.
glue was never supposed to be permanent.
theo was never supposed to stay.
but this is a story about what happens when love lingers longer than it should
through voice memos, missed calls, paint-stained sweatshirts, and soft hellos in a broken hallway light.
stay in this moment is a slow-burn love story for the soft, the hurting, and the ones who almost said goodbye.

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)

Pleng is there-still singing, still hurting, and still the girl Wan never stopped loving. Some stories don't end. Some hearts don't forget. And some love, even after all this time... is still there, waiting to be heard.Complete
Heat of the Moment
"If I could choose you once, I'd choose you a thousand more times - through fire, through time, through everything." Heat of the Moment is a lifetime love story about two stubborn men - Buck and Eddie - who take the long, messy, beautiful road from best friends to soulmates. It's about first glances and first touches. About whispered promises made under the weight of starlight. About building a family not out of blood, but out of choice. About waking up every day and choosing each other - through laughter, heartbreak, chaos, and joy. From impulsive tattoos and disastrous karaoke nights to wedding vows whispered in backyards - and finally, to growing old hand in hand - this is not just a story about falling in love. It's a story about staying in love. A love told in snapshots, soft mornings, ridiculous tattoos, burned pancakes, shared grief, matching rings, and the quiet miracle of forever. Heat of the Moment is messy, tender, sometimes filthy, and always real - a celebration of a love that survives everything: time, change, and even the final breath. This is their story. Forever. Always.Complete
In Between Us
We're not together. But we're not just friends either. Late-night messages. Almost-kisses. Unspoken feelings hidden behind casual conversations and coffee shop meetups. They never defined what they were-because definitions meant boundaries, and boundaries meant limitations. So they kept it simple. No labels. No promises. Just a connection that felt too real to be nothing... and too fragile to be something. But when emotions get too loud to ignore, and hearts begin to want more-what happens in between us can either bring them closer, or tear them apart. A modern love story about almost, uncertainties, and the kind of heartbreak you can't name.Complete

We Never Broke Up (A Second Chance Romance)
"So... what about us?" he asked, and I looked at him, a bit bewildered. "What?" I inquired. "You and me... what are we, Sera? You know how you affect me. You make me feel like I'm losing my mind, and I feel incomplete when you're not around. I yearn for your touch, your scent, and everything about you drives me wild," he admitted, his words close to my face. I let out a shaky breath as I felt a warmth spread through my body. "Thad, I think you're getting something wrong," I began, but he interrupted me. "No, you're the one refusing to admit that you're feeling the same way I am," he insisted, causing me to fall silent. He was right, I couldn't deny the feelings i had for him. They had always been there, but they had intensified with his return. ●●●●●●□□□●●□□□●●● In their final year of high school, Thaddeus and Sera epitomized the dream teen couple, envied by all.
