A Story That Doesn’t Belong To You Chapter 104: The Crack
Ryan set his camera bag down on the couch and smiled at Adrien, who was kicking off his shoes. “Home sweet home,” Ryan said softly, almost reluctant to let the words settle.Adrien’s eyes met his, the same warm blue that had watched the sunrise with him every morning for the past week. “Home,” he echoed, stepping forward to press a kiss to Ryan’s temple.They had left for their trip a little unsure testing the new rhythm of their relationship but the week away had dissolved any lingering awkwardness. The laughter, the late-night swims, the stolen kisses under moonlight it all felt like a fragile, beautiful bubble they had built together.Ryan was still floating in it.They spent the first hour back doing nothing but leaning into each other on the couch, recounting the highlights of the trip, arguing about whose sandcastle had been “structurally superior,” and sharing quiet smiles that said more than words.But the first hairline crack came unexpectedly.It happened when Adrien’s phone
A Story That Doesn’t Belong To You Chapter 103: The Call
They’d spent most of the day doing nothing swimming, eating too much, and pretending the outside world didn’t exist.It was the kind of silence Adrien loved: the steady rhythm of the tide, the occasional clink of Ryan’s glass when he took a sip, the warmth of the man pressed against him.Then his phone lit up with a name he almost never saw these days.Father.Adrien froze for a moment before answering.“Adrien,” the voice came, smooth and measured. His father had always been good at that making a greeting sound like an evaluation.“Hello….. Father,” Adrien said, leaning back in his chair, his tone cautious but not cold.“I was told you’re abroad.“Yes.” Adrien’s eyes flicked toward Ryan, who was still drowsy, unaware of the call’s undertones. “Taking some time off.There was a pause. Then, “You didn’t inform me.Adrien’s jaw tightened. “I didn’t think I had to.“You know very well that when it comes to your… personal choices, I need to be informed.” His father’s voice was calm, but e

Adrien stopped right behind him, his chest brushing Ryan’s back. “I’m not going anywhere,” he said, slipping his arms around Ryan’s waist. The steady strength of his hold grounded him, made the rest of the world fade. “You could check,Adrien added, his lips brushing Ryan’s ear.Ryan’s heartbeat kicked up. “Check?Adrien turned him slowly, until Ryan was facing him, and tipped his head toward the bed. “Come here.It wasn’t rushed. Adrien didn’t pull, didn’t demand. He simply looked at him in that way he did like Ryan was the only thing worth looking at. And somehow, that was enough to make Ryan follow.When they reached the bed, Adrien didn’t immediately push him down. He brushed his thumb along Ryan’s jaw, studying him with a softness that always caught Ryan off guard. “We’ve been through a lot,” he said quietly. “I don’t think I ever told you how much IRyan cut him off with a kiss, deep enough that Adrien’s breath hitched against his lips. It was unhurried, warm, and when Adrien k

Twenty minutes later, Ryan stepped out of the bedroom in a dark blue button up and neatly pressed black trousers. Adrien, waiting by the door in a tailored charcoal suit, let out a low whistle.Ryan rolled his eyes. “You’re overreacting.“I’m underreacting,” Adrien replied, offering his arm. “Now come on.They left the apartment, Adrien guiding Ryan toward the elevator without offering any clues. The moment they stepped outside, Ryan noticed the sleek black car waiting by the curb.“Who’s driving us?” Ryan asked.Adrien smirked. “No one. I’m driving.The ride was filled with Adrien’s quiet hums to the radio and Ryan’s curious glances at unfamiliar streets. It wasn’t until Adrien pulled into the driveway of a rooftop restaurant one of the most exclusive in the city that Ryan’s mouth fell open.“Adrien,” he said slowly, “we are not“We are.” Adrien cut him off with a satisfied smile, stepping out to open Ryan’s door.Inside, they were greeted immediately and led toward the private terra
A Story That Doesn’t Belong To You Chapter 100: Lazy Morning Together
Ryan woke up to the warmth of sunlight spilling through the half drawn curtains and the faint sound of waves beyond the balcony. For a few seconds, he didn’t move, letting the soft rhythm of Adrien’s breathing beside him anchor the moment. Adrien had his arm draped lazily across Ryan’s waist, fingers resting like they belonged there.Ryan turned his head slightly. Adrien’s hair was messy in the most unfairly attractive way, a lock falling over his closed eyes. He looked younger like this unguarded, peaceful, without the sly grin he usually wore when awake. Ryan felt a tug in his chest, a quiet, dangerous thought: I could get used to this.He shifted carefully, but Adrien’s arm tightened in response. “Mm. Where d’you think you’re going?” Adrien’s voice was still rough from sleep, making Ryan’s ears burn.Bathroom,” Ryan mumbled, trying not to sound flustered.Adrien opened one eye, smirking. “Liar. You were going to sneak away so you wouldn’t have to face me before coffee.Ryan scoffed
A Story That Doesn’t Belong To You Chapter 99: Shape like a Fox
Ryan was quiet through most of breakfast, poking at his plate as if the toast had personally offended him. The hotel’s open air restaurant was drenched in golden morning light, the sea sparkling beyond the balcony, but he couldn’t shake the image of the pretty girl from last night all champagne hair and expensive perfume laughing a little too sweetly at Adrien’s jokes.Not that Adrien had encouraged her. In fact, Ryan remembered him turning down the conversation politely and steering them away to bed. But the thought still gnawed at him.Adrien noticed. Of course he noticed.“Ryan,” Adrien said slowly, leaning forward on his elbows, “you’ve barely touched your food. Am I really that boring in the morning?”Ryan’s lips twitched. “You? Never boring. Just… thinking.Adrien studied him for a moment, then reached across the table to curl his fingers over Ryan’s hand. The touch was warm and grounding. “Thinking about that girl from last night?”Ryan’s fork clinked against the plate. “…Maybe
