Love By The Crossfire

rain, spotify and us?~

Six hearts. One campus. Shared dreams stitched between lectures and late nights. Laughter so loud it leaves your stomach aching. The kind of warmth people spend their whole lives searching for. The kind of memories you don't realize you're building until they become the ones you never want to lose.

Some of them fight like they mean it. Some of them pretend like they don't feel it.

And some have been loving in silence for far too long.

Because beneath the teasing and the arguments and the carefully built walls, they all want the same thing.

To be chosen.
To be understood.
To be loved exactly as they are.
The kind that feels like coming home after you've been pretending for too long.

They thought they knew where they stood.

They didn't realize love was already finding its way through the cracks.

And sometimes, the very thing that heals you... is the thing that can break you.

as they say, with love comes betrayal..

"Agastya..." my voice broke on his name.

"I've never wanted to ruin anyone the way I've wanted to ruin you," he said, his eyes fierce and unblinking. "But I swear to God, I've never wanted to love anyone the way I love you either."

"You're my chaos," he breathed, "but you're also the only thing that's ever made sense."

"Yaad hai tumne kaha tha, tumse pyaar karna aasaan nahi hai? Aur tumne yeh bhi kaha tha... that one day I'd hate you?" A pause.

"You win again." "Nafrat hai mujhe tumse. Itni ki kabhi kabhi apne aap se bhi ho jaati hai...

kyunki maine tumse pyaar kiya tha."

"Ghinn aati hai mujhe tumhare jhoot se. Tumhare khamosh rehne se. Tumhare naam se."

"And the worst part?"

"I still remember how it felt to love you."
