The shape of desire // Williamest

Everyone knows William.

The wealthy athlete. The reckless motorcyclist. The boy everyone wants and nobody can seem to keep. His reputation follows him wherever he goes, and William has never had a reason to care about it.

Then Est arrives.

Quiet, shy, and transferred from a small province, Est knows William only by name. He has no idea what he looks like, what kind of person he is, or why everyone seems so fascinated by him.

Until one afternoon, William steps in when someone refuses to leave Est alone.

Days later, their paths keep crossing.

And when William finally makes Est an unexpected offer-a fake relationship to keep unwanted attention away-Est agrees.

It's supposed to be simple.

Pretend in public. Keep your distance in private. No feelings. No complications.

But the more convincing their lie becomes, the harder it is to remember that it's only pretend.

Because sometimes desire doesn't follow the rules.

And sometimes the most dangerous thing you can do is fall for someone you were never supposed to want.
