hidden Affection ❣️

Title: Hidden Affection ❣️

Raymond never planned to fall for his best friend.

William was the kind of person everyone noticed - confident, strong, and proudly masculine. To the world, he was just Raymond's best friend. But to Raymond, he was something more... someone who slowly became his everything.

There was only one problem.

William hated the very thing Raymond was hiding about himself.

With every homophobic joke and every hurtful comment, Raymond buried his feelings deeper, afraid that one confession would destroy the friendship they had spent years building.

So he kept his love hidden.

He laughed when it hurt, stayed quiet when he wanted to speak, and loved William from a distance because losing him felt worse than hiding the truth.

But feelings don't disappear just because they are hidden.

When William begins to notice the changes in Raymond and the secrets he keeps, the bond between them starts to face its biggest challenge.

Will their friendship survive the truth?

Or will the affection Raymond kept hidden become the reason they lose each other forever?
