NC

A college roommate situation between Y/N and Nathan Collins spans two years of shared routines, quiet familiarity, and an unspoken emotional bond. Nathan is steady, observant, and gentle, often noticing what Y/N doesn’t say, while Y/N tends to withdraw during emotionally difficult days. On those days, Nathan doesn’t ask for explanations—he simply stays. His quiet presence, whether through shared silence or small gestures, offers a comfort Y/N doesn’t always know how to request but deeply feels. Over time, his consistency becomes grounding, making even the hardest moments feel less isolating. Gradually, Y/N realizes their feelings for Nathan have been building all along
