STAY BY MY SIDE
Stella and Leo have been together for three years.
They first met at a dance practice, where neither of them expected that one ordinary practice would eventually lead to something much more special. What started as a simple meeting slowly turned into a relationship filled with laughter, teasing, affection, and countless memories.
Stella has always been naturally playful and loves acting cute around Leo. She teases him, annoys him on purpose, and sometimes acts extra adorable just to see his reaction.
But Leo doesn't mind.
Actually, he loves seeing her happy.
He knows that being playful is simply part of who Stella is, and instead of judging her for it, he enjoys every ridiculous moment they share. The two of them are constantly teasing each other, turning even the smallest situations into competitions or arguments that usually end with them laughing.
But not everyone sees Stella the same way Leo does.
Some people call her a "pick me" just because of the way she acts around him. They make fun of her, judge her personality, and tell her that she should stop acting the way she does.
Stella tries not to let it bother her.
But Leo notices.
And he absolutely refuses to stand there and watch people make her feel bad.
"Stop bullying her."
Leo makes it clear that Stella doesn't need anyone's permission to be herself.
"She can act however she wants. She's happy, I'm happy, so what's the problem?"
For Leo, Stella doesn't need to change herself just to make other people comfortable.
And for Stella, Leo isn't just the person she loves. He's the person who makes her feel safe enough to be completely herself.
Three years together, countless arguments, endless teasing, embarrassing moments, unexpected adventures, and one thing neither of them ever wants to change...
They'll always stay by each other's side.
