Ryan POV Sending him off felt like someone slowly pulling something important out of my chest and pretending it was normal. “Ry, my flight is now,” Ethan said, staring at me like he was trying to memorize my face. “Don’t forget I said always pick up my FaceTime. I’ll get upset if you don’t.” My eyes burned, but thankfully they always looked shiny anyway, so no one would notice. I smiled and pulled him into a hug before my face could betray me. “Mmmh,” he murmured, pressing kisses all over my face. “I’m going to miss you.” “I know,” I whispered. “I will too.” “Ethan, that’s enough!” His mum, Avery’s voice cut in. “Don’t you even think about forgetting to call Ryan when you arrive. And you better call me immediately too!” He pulled back from me, rolled his eyes dramatically, and shot her a glare. “You’re bullying me.” “Good,” she replied flatly. They announced his flight number over the speakers. Ethan squeezed my hand one last time. “I’ll call you.” “I’ll be waiting,” I sai

Ethan POVGetting him home felt… right..The engine went quiet as I parked by the house parking lot. Ryan was already halfway curled into my side, his eyes looked heavy, his fingers was loosely hooked into my sleeve like he forgot to let go after the car stopped.“We’ve gotten home ,” I said softly.He hummed. “Mm.”That was my cue to do things for him.I stepped out first, walked around, opened his door. He looked up at me, blinking slowly like I’d interrupted something important.“You’re getting me spoiled,” he said.“By me,” I replied.He smiled and took my hand, letting me pull him out. We walked inside together, with our shoes kicked off carelessly, the door shutting behind us with that familiar click.Ryan dropped onto the couch immediately like gravity had finally won, he spread his hands and tilted his head back.“I’m dead,” he announced.“You say that every time you have fun.”“Where’s mum?,” he asked, turning his head to look at me.“At work. Late night shift and they’ll be

Ryan POVIt had been a while since I last saw Ethan.He had been busy with work and a lot of other things, and so had I. We still talked every day though video calls. Abnormal long calls and calls where one of us fell asleep first and the other stayed just watching.But today was different.He was leaving for doctoring school tomorrow.So we decided to meet today and make the most out of it.I finished getting ready slower than usual. I checked my phone more times than necessary even though I already knew he would text when he arrived.Then my phone buzzed. I grabbed it quickly, even as I knew it was going to be Ethan. ~ Ethan: I’m here.I grabbed my jacket and walked out immediately.He was already outside, leaning against his car, with his arms folded to his chest and a sunglasses on his face, making him look more cool than usual. The moment he saw me, he smiled.That smile.“Hey,” he said.“Hey,” I replied, stepping closer.He opened his arms and I walked right into them without t

Kyle POV“Kyle. Kyle. You’ve been in your room for the past two days. It’s time you leave your room now!”Mum’s voice rang through the hallway like an alarm I’d been avoiding.I stared at the ceiling, unmoving.For the past two days, I had locked everything that could possibly open in my room. All the doors, the windows, i even had to lock the bathroom. I was not about to let my mother sneak in and interrogate me like I was a criminal suspect.I had survived on the snacks I had stolen during midnight raids like some raccoon with anxiety. I wake up in the night to grab food. I’ll run back. Lock the door and repeat it again.Champ? Of course I’d been texting him nonstop. If I wasn’t texting him, I was rereading our old messages like they were sacred scriptures.“Kyle, come out now!” Mum’s voice came out sharpened. “I’m not joking.”My chest tightened.This was it.I sat up slowly, rubbing my face. I had replayed this conversation in my head at least a hundred times. None of the versions

Ethan POVRyan came out of the rehab center squinting like the sun personally offended him.The moment I saw him push through the doors, my shoulders relaxed without my permission. He scanned the parking lot once, spotted me, and smiled like he always did — like the world was manageable again.I unlocked the door before he even reached it.He climbed in, dropped his bag dramatically, and exhaled. “I deserve food. Like… immediately.”I smirked, pulling the car out of the lot. “You always deserve food.”“And,” he added, pointing at me, “I’m treating.”I glanced at him. “You sure?”“Yes,” he said confidently. “I survived rehab. That earns me lunch privileges.”I didn’t argue. I just drove.I didn’t take him anywhere fancy. I took him to the restaurant I always went to when I was down. The workers there should had known me by now.Ryan eyed the place as we parked. “This looks suspicious.”“It’s good,” I said. “Trust me.”He followed me inside anyway.The place wasn’t crowded. A few people

Ryan POVMy phone buzzed. I didn’t even need to check it. I knew it was Ethan. ~ Ethan: Outside.I scoffed. “Outside,” I repeated. “Romantic.”Still, I was already on my feet.I grabbed my phone, slipped into my sneakers, and did a quick mirror check because yes, I had dignity and standards.“You look fine,” I told myself. “Stop acting like he hasn’t already seen you at your worst.”I walked out of my room and nearly crashed into Mum.She leaned against the wall with that smug, victorious smile again.“He’s here.”“That wasn’t a question,” I muttered.She nodded. “Good. Don’t make him wait.”“I won’t.”I took two steps, then she added, “And Ryan?”I sighed. “What now.”She grinned. “Tell him I said hi.”I pretended I didn’t hear that and escaped outside.Ethan’s car was parked where he always parked his bike. He brought a car this time, and was sitting inside, with it’s window rolled down, and his arm resting on the door.The moment he saw me, he smiled.“About time,” he said.“Relax
