Written in Every Unanswered Prayers

Micho Eriss Sandoval, known as Mikoy, grew up in a strict religious household where faith was not just taught but enforced. Raised by his grandmother who believed that devotion could shape a person's entire soul, Mikoy learned early how to pray, how to repent, and how to silence anything that felt like doubt.

But no amount of prayer ever explained Gavien Luie Austero, his childhood playmate who somehow became the center of his thoughts. As they grow older, Mikoy starts to notice feelings he was never taught how to name, let alone accept. Every glance, every shared laugh, every quiet moment with Gavi feels like something he is not supposed to understand.

Torn between the teachings he was raised with and emotions he cannot deny, Mikoy begins to question whether faith is meant to erase what he feels or if love was never meant to be something to fear. In a world where every prayer seems unanswered, he finds himself wondering if some answers were never meant to come from heaven at all, but from the boy who has always been beside him.
