It's Always Been You (A Nick Jonas and You Fanfic)

Not a fan anymore. Not a stranger either.
One fleeting moment. Seventeen years apart.
Just him. Just you.

Nick Jonas was once the boy who slipped you his necklace at a fan meet and greet, a spark you buried and never spoke of.
Since then you have built your own world, no longer the teenager who blushed under stage lights but a successful creative director in New York.
Seventeen years later, your worlds collide again. He is older, divorced, unforgettable.
The question is not whether the moment is still there.
It is whether you are ready to stop pretending it ever ended.

The Jonas Brothers are celebrating twenty years with a new album, the Greetings From Your Hometown tour, and more to come. This is my way of joining the celebration, bringing back the fanfic nostalgia we grew up with, reimagined seventeen years later.
I first wrote this story a long time ago, following the storyline of a teenage meet and greet that lasted only minutes but meant more than that. Now it returns as It's Always Been You: mature, romantic, and intimate. A speculative, novel-like fanfic grounded in real life and the what if that keeps us coming back.
