Sage

I sat there with both of them staring at me still, their eyes were filled with guilt as they paid attention to me but there was something else, something they were too proud to name, fear.

Not fear of me.

But fear of what they might lose.

They were scared that I meant my words. I was truly furious with them for taking away my choice even if their heart was in the right place but I was more furious that they left me out of it because they thought I wouldn't be able to handle it.

I couldn't help but wonder if this is what they thought of me, a weak, spineless idiot who couldn't do anything but get hurt all the time.

The silence dragged, the only sound was the faint ticking of the clock on the wall and the buzz of the fridge motor humming behind the tension between us.

“I said,” I repeated slowly, “I’m not ready to forgive either of you.”

Kaiden looked away, jaw flexing, the arrogance he wore like skin beginning to crack.

The Professor kept his eyes on me, unreadable now, his usual

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Fall apart in another's arms

    RiverI walked into the apartment just after sunset, my briefcase heavier than usual, even though it only carried papers. The weight wasn’t from the documents. It was from the silence. That thick, dense silence that wraps itself around you like a noose when something is missing.I hated the silence, it was never anything good.I stepped out of my shoes, loosened my tie, and scanned the living room.Empty.The usual sound of him pacing while talking to himself or his favorite show playing in the background wasn’t there. No scent of takeout, no sarcastic remark from the hallway. The place felt… cold.I walked into the kitchen where Elias was sitting with his laptop and a glass of mint tea.“Did Kaiden come home today?” I asked casually, pretending the dread hadn’t started crawling beneath my skin.We hadn't seen each other after the little fight and sleeping in separate bedrooms didn't help. I knew how his brain worked, he was very stubborn and wouldn't want to listen to me.Elias looke

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   When the storm hit me.

    KaidenI woke up with a dull ache behind my eyes and a heaviness in my chest that no amount of stretching could shake. The apartment was quiet, too quiet for a place meant to hold three people and a thousand unspoken things. The silence didn’t bring peace. It brought pressure, like standing under deep water and knowing you’re about to run out of air.It took me a long night in different beds to realize that I truly needed them to sleep. Hopefully, this whole punishment would be over before you know it.I rolled out of bed, grabbed the first black shirt I saw, and walked to the kitchen, hoping coffee would slap me awake.Instead, I found him already there, Elias, all smiles and fake modesty, standing barefoot by the counter and pouring himself a second cup of tea like he’d lived here his entire life.I gritted my teeth immediately. “Morning,” he said casually, like we were old roommates sharing hangover stories.I didn’t respond immediately. I pulled out a stool, sat, and stared at h

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Top Dog, Sage

    SageI was sad.So sad that I just needed to sleep, I couldn't begin to fathom my emotions right now.I knew going home was the right choice for me.When I walked into the house, it was still and heavy, like it had soaked up all the tension from a hundred unsaid things. I closed the door behind me and took a breath, hoping maybe today would finally settle into something resembling normal.No such luck.There he was. Standing in the middle of the living room like he belonged. Sharp jawline, piercing blue eyes, his shirt just tight enough to suggest he knew how good he looked. A stranger in our house.I narrowed my eyes instantly, “uh..who are you?”He smiled immediately."Hey," he said smoothly, stepping forward and offering a hand. "You must be Sage. I’m Elias, Professor’s friend."I took his hand, shook it once. My confusion still wrapped tightly around me. His grip was confident as we shook. I broke it off and took a step back, still a bit uncomfortable in his presence."Where’s P

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Trespassing

    KaidenSilence was never a good sign.When I pushed the door open to the house, I was greeted by that, absolute silence. No music humming from the speaker Professor always left on low, no kettle whistling from the kitchen, no clinking of glass from Sage raiding the fridge like he always did when he thought no one was watching.Just silence.And water running somewhere in the house.I furrowed my brows at that, was he in the shower? Is that why he wasn't taking my calls or answering my texts?I stepped inside, the soles of my boots soft against the polished wooden floors. I paused, listening. The water was distant, faint, coming from upstairs, like someone had left the shower running. But what pulled my attention wasn’t the water.It was the voice.Professor’s voice came from the other side of the house, toward the back, where his office was.So if his voice was there…Then who the hell was in our bathroom?I didn’t even bother calling out.Instead, I headed upstairs.My steps were ca

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Smoke and suspicions

    KaidenWe left the chaos behind and walked two blocks down to a little place called Noir & Cream. Ironically fitting, considering my current emotional aesthetic. The barista didn’t bat an eye as we walked in, and soon we were seated by the window with steaming mugs between us. I ordered a dark roast, black. He got an espresso, extra shot.I didn’t speak at first. Just watched the swirl of steam rising from my cup.“So…” he began, leaning back against the seat, “tell me everything. From the beginning.”I gave him the short version, the silence from my agency, the careful manipulation of how things were framed. And then how I’d been slowly noticing things being pulled out from under me. Public appearances canceled last-minute, endorsements dropped without explanation, my fanbase increasingly polarized because no one had said anything official in my defense.When I finished, he rubbed a hand down his face.“Jesus,” he muttered. “That’s not just messy. That’s evill.”“I know,” I said qu
