They've always been just friends-or at least, that's what they tell themselves, long enough for the label to feel safe, unquestioned, permanent.
Pond keeps his life controlled, his emotions buried beneath sarcasm and distance. He has never dated anyone, not because he couldn't, but because he never wanted to. Somewhere along the way, his world narrowed quietly to one person, and loving his best friend felt like a risk he couldn't afford to take.
Phuwin moves through the world effortlessly-warm, magnetic, surrounded by people yet never quite letting anyone close enough to stay. He has loved once, briefly and the way people expected him to, never questioning himself until the closeness he shares with Pond begins to feel heavier than friendship ever should.
A slow-burn university romance about unspoken feelings, questioning identities, and the quiet realization that some loves exist long before they're brave enough to be named.

Yours by Chance (PondPhuwin)
Before the marriage, Pond took the arrangement seriously.

Old feelings clash with new beginnings, and Phuwin-who has loved Pond quietly from the start-finds himself standing between Pond's past and Pond's potential future. "Even if your heart beats for someone else... I still hope it beats happily." - Phuwin PondPhuwin Fanfic by Moayish

GRAVITY HAS YOUR NAME
IT'S A PHUWINPOND STORY SO IF ANYONE ISN'T COMFORTABLE WITH THE IDEA PLEASE SKIP THIS ONE! ALSO, IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE MORE SMUTTIER THAN MY USUAL WORKS! HOPE YOU LIKE IT ENJOY!!! <3 Pond has always been the kind of boy people orbit without thinking. Third year on campus, his reputation walks ahead of him - reckless charm, easy dominance, a confidence so natural it almost feels like instinct. He wins dares, hearts, and attention without trying. Control is simply who he is. Phuwin is... harder to read. Quieter. Sharper. Unimpressed in ways that feel almost intentional. Where Pond is wildfire, Phuwin is gravity - subtle, steady, impossible to escape once you step too close. What begins as a careless late-night bet is supposed to be simple: prove a point, claim a victory, move on. But some games don't follow familiar rules. With every encounter that follows, something in Pond shifts in ways he can't explain, can't predict, and definitely can't admit. Pride turns restless. Curiosity turns consuming. And the version of himself he has always relied on starts to feel strangely... incomplete. As lines blur between competition and connection, both of them are pulled into a quiet emotional tug-of-war where winning no longer means what it used to. Because sometimes surrender isn't about losing control - it's about discovering where you truly belong. In a story of ego, tension, and the terrifying comfort of being understood, Pond will learn that not all falls are failures. Some are simply gravity calling you home.Complete

Tied Together. {PONDPHUWIN}
Pond and Phuwin have been rivals since the first day of school-grades, attention, even oxygen. They hate each other so much, it's practically a full-time job. But when Pond moves into Phuwin's neighborhood and their moms-lifelong besties-discover the boys are classmates, everything spirals. Suddenly, they're forced to play nice. Fake friendship. Shared dinners. Coordinated tutoring sessions. And worst of all? Their moms think they're adorable together. Pond is the school's bad boy-motorbike, charm, and a trail of broken hearts. Phuwin is the academic menace-sharp-tongued, caffeine-fueled, and secretly unbothered by Pond's theatrics. They clash like fire and sarcasm. But when someone else tries to hurt Phuwin, Pond's fury is instant. And when Phuwin sees Pond vulnerable-really vulnerable-something shifts. Enemies to lovers? More like enemies to "I hate you so much I'd die for you."Complete
