Lucas has always been by Y/N’s side. He waits outside their classroom, walks them home without being asked, silently hands them a drink when they’re tired, and somehow always ends up sitting beside them. He’s quiet, intimidating, and doesn’t say much—but his actions speak louder than words. To everyone else, they’re already a couple. Lucas insists they’re just friends. Meanwhile, Mason and his endlessly cheerful boyfriend, Jayden, spend their days balancing their own relationship while watching Lucas unknowingly make his crush more obvious by the day. Even Elisa—the girl who only hangs around the group to get close to Lucas—can’t stand how naturally Y/N fits into the place she desperately wants. As rumors spread through the school, jealousy starts brewing, and everyone waits for the inevitable confession. After all, when someone never leaves your side… …maybe they’ve already found where they belong.
