Y/n has been Marco Alvarez’s best friend since kindergarten, growing up in the Alvarez house like it was his own. From summer popsicles on the porch to baking red velvet cupcakes in the kitchen Marco’s mom once taught him to make, the memories run deep. Marco’s dad, Cal Alvarez, has always been a steady presence in Y/n’s life—warm, dependable, and familiar. Now, during their senior year, a stormy night leaves Y/n alone in the house with Cal… and something in the air feels different.
