ASHER

His eyes narrowed slightly. “Don’t do that.”

“Do what?”

“Decide what I want for me.”

“I’m not deciding anything,” I shot back. “I’m telling you how this ends.”

“And how is that?” he challenged.

I held his gaze.

“It doesn’t,” I said flatly. “This—” I gestured between us again “—this isn’t something that goes anywhere.”

Every word out of my mouth was sharper than I meant it to be. It was dismissive, cold and final. I was scrambling to rebuild the wall that was already collapsing. The wall I

    ELLIOTIt was my turn to tense.It was a loaded question. One I didn’t expect him to ask. One I hadn’t really given much thought to.I swallowed nervously.I tried to choose my words carefully.“I don’t know,” I said honestly. “My father and I have always had a complicated relationship, but after my mother and brother died…”I used to think my mum was the glue that held us together and it turned out I was right. We were nothing without her.“... it got worse,” I finished. “A lot has happened between us. He has hurt me a lot. I’m sure he’d say I’ve done the same.”Asher’s arm tightened around me in reassurance and I moved in closer to him.“You know, after my mum died…” It was like I couldn’t stop talking now. Like a dam had been broken. “It felt like I lost two parents, not one. He just… retreated into himself. He wasn’t there when I needed him the most.”It was worse than that. Barely months after they died, he started going on dates. Secretly at first, then more openly. Like he didn

    ELLIOTIt was remarkable how much things had changed. How much I have changed.If you’d told me three to four months ago that I’d be in this position, I wouldn’t have believed it.And yet, here I was.I didn’t regret anything. If anything, the only thing I regretted was not giving in earlier. Because if I knew it would feel this good, I’d have surrendered much earlier.I didn’t realize how much I needed this. How much I needed him.Ever since my mum and brother died, there had been this void that existed within me. This gap that I didn’t think anything could fill.Sometimes, I even wondered what the point of existing was, when all I felt was emptiness.Which was why I was so angry. With my father, with the world, with myself.At least, being angry was better than feeling nothing.But now, being with Asher, I realized that maybe, just maybe, life was worth living again.Happiness was close, I just needed to have the courage to reach out and grab it.We were in Asher’s room.After dinne

    ELLIOTElsa rolled her eyes. “Seriously, who came up with that stupid rule in the first place? And why the hell did we agree to it?”Lucas shoved her lightly. “Hey, watch it. That was me. And in my defense, I was drunk. I just wanted to have fun. It’s you guys’ fault for listening to me and taking me seriously.”Houston nodded. “That’s true. It’s our fault. You’re not someone that should be taken seriously.”Elsa laughed at Lucas’s facial expression and I couldn’t help but chuckle.Lucas gave him a look that screamed betrayal. “Seriously, man? I thought you were on my side.”When the laughter died down, I spoke up again. “I never really asked but… Are you guys okay with me dating Asher? Even though he’s technically my stepbrother?”Lucas waved a hand. “Trust me, we don’t give a fuck.”Elsa shot him a look. “Yeah, exactly that. But in a less crude way.”“We just want you to be happy, Elliot,” Houston added.A warm feeling filled my chest.“Thanks guys.” I wrapped an arm around Lucas wh

    ELLIOTNews kind of travelled faster than I imagined.But then again, it was campus and people tended to be bored. They thrived on gossip.And what was juicier than stepbrothers dating?Asher and I had become the topic of attention. They didn’t know the true facts of our relationship, they only knew that we were closer than usual. Closer than stepbrothers should be.But that was the thing. People didn’t care about facts, they only cared about the next big story— and Asher and I were that at the moment.I could feel it in the way conversations dipped just slightly when I walked past. In the way people looked at me a second too long before pretending they weren’t staring.For some reason, I wasn’t as affected as I thought I’d be.Sure, I felt aware, exposed. The way one would feel if the whole world was in their business.But I didn’t feel panicked like I thought I would. I definitely didn’t regret walking hand in hand with Asher throughout yesterday.I chose to do that. I chose Asher.

    ASHERSimon froze. Like he couldn’t believe I was defending Elliot.Slowly, his eyes shifted to me.“What?”I met his gaze and didn’t look away.“I don’t think your assessment of Elliot is fair,” I repeated, firmer this time.Simon’s brows furrowed. “Excuse me?”“You’re talking about him like he just woke up one day and decided to be a problem,” I said. “Like everything just… happened for no reason.”My grip tightened around the ball.“You said he changed after his mum died,” I continued. “So obviously something happened.”His jaw tightened. “I know something happened. I was there.”“Were you?”The question slipped out before I could stop it.Still, I couldn’t bring myself to stop.“Were you really?” I asked again, firmer this time. “Did you comfort him after his mum and brother died? Spend time with him? Talk to him at all? Did you even try? Or did you just choose the easy option and abandoned him thinking he’d be fine? Well, guess what? He wasn’t fine.”The sharpness and directness

    ASHERThe ball hit my palm with a sharp thwack.I caught it easily, barely needing to move, then tossed it back across the yard.Simon caught it with a grunt, stepping back slightly as he adjusted his grip.We’d been doing this for a few weeks now but it still felt strange standing here like this playing baseball like it was normal.Like we were father and son.Still, this… routine had grown to be something I truly enjoyed. It was safe. Peaceful.No yelling. No tension.For once, I felt what it was like to have a father. A father that cared.It was something I’d never admit to my mum, but when I was younger, I was jealous of my classmates when they spoke of their fathers.Because I didn’t know what it was like to have someone that truly felt like one.I could tell Simon really liked me too. He has asked me to call him Dad several times but I’ve always refused.Maybe it was because, the moment I called him that, I’d have to accept Elliot as my brother.And that was just… weird.“You’ve
