Code Blue Heart

ꜱɪᴀʀᴀ x ʀɪᴛʜᴠɪᴋ

This story doesn't begin with love.
It begins with a marriage neither of them wanted, a house that feels too quiet, and two people who have mastered the art of not feeling.
Dr. Siara Mehta knows how to keep her hands steady when a heartbeat fades.
She has built her life on control, on distance, on never letting emotions interfere.
Dr. Rithvik Malhotra knows how to read what people hide. But some silences are heavier than words and some walls aren't meant to be broken all at once.
They agreed on boundaries.
No expectations.
No complications.
No love.

But the problem with living so close to someone is this:

You start noticing the way they breathe.
The way they say your name.
The way they almost reach for you... and stop.

And sometimes, that almost is enough to change everything.
