Still Yours

*This story was originally published as a fanfiction on my other account*

"I used to think that if I just worked hard enough, I could build a wall high enough to keep the pain out, but I realized too late that the wall didn't just stop the world. It stopped him. And now, I'm standing in a palace I built for a man who isn't here to see it. Was it worth it? To have everything, and yet have absolutely nothing at all?"

For Isaac, life has always felt like a cruel, calculated joke. Between the suffocating weight of poverty, the sharp sting of grief, and a self-doubt that whispers he'll never be enough, he has spent years just trying to keep his head above water. The only constant the only thing that feels real is Rafael. He is the one person who refuses to let Isaac fall, the steady hand in a world determined to push him down.

But as Isaac's burgeoning dreams begin to clash with a harsh reality, and the unspoken words between them build walls higher than any fortress, the foundation of their relationship begins to crack.
