Things we never get to talk about; 
the smiles we wear like armor, 
the thoughts we keep locked away, 
the nights we spent overthinking instead of sleeping.

To everyone else, they're the happy one. the person who always has a joke ready, the one who keeps the mood light. But when the day is over and the lights are out, the truth settles in: 

pretending is exhausting.

While in reality... follows the quiet battles we fight in our heads, the second thoughts before speaking up, and the tiny moments of connection that remind us we're not as alone as we think. It's about carrying the weight, breaking the silence, and maybe learning that it's okay not to be okay.

As Long as I Have You

15 parts Ongoing Mature

Izuku We had our entire life planned. We were going to continue to climb the ladder, get married, and have a family. But the longer we were together, the more followers we had, it all started to fade in the background. It was photoshoots, restaurant openings, trend after trend, and eventually, I had less time to see my family, less time for the things I had wanted to do. When I got a strange DM from a guy, warning me about the man I sleep beside every night, I ignored it and trusted him. But when I got ahold of his phone for the first time in years, it was hard to ignore what I already knew. Katsuki I love my life. I have great friends, a good family, a job that even on the bad days, I still look forward to. The run-down one bedroom house that three of us share isn't exactly my favorite thing, but it's home and sharing it with Denki and Eijiro makes it feel more live able than it really is. Money's tight and we don't have a lot, but we have love, loyalty, and friendship-something that's increasingly harder to come by in LA. The DM I got from an apparent rising influencer is proof of that. On top of the various platforms he uses, his entire Instagram page is dedicated to him and his boyfriend. When he DM's me, I shoot him down and even threaten to steal his man because if he won't treat him right, someone else should. ⚠️TRIGGER WARNINGS⚠️ Alcohol/Drug use Cursing Cheating Abuse Smut
