Y/N had known him long before they fell in love. He was the boy who saved him a seat, waited by his locker, and stayed beside him whenever he felt overwhelmed. By senior year, they were known as the couple who would last forever. They had grown up together, shared their biggest memories, and thought they would continue doing the same in college. But when graduation approached, Y/N’s anxiety convinced him that everything was about to change. He became convinced his boyfriend would meet someone better, make new friends, and eventually realize he didn’t need him anymore. So after graduation, Y/N ended their relationship—not because he stopped loving him, but because he thought letting him go would protect him. His boyfriend begged to know what he had done wrong, but Y/N couldn’t tell him the truth. All he could say was, “I’m not enough for you.” They went their separate ways, and Y/N spent the summer regretting the decision he had made. Then college began, and Y/N walked into his first class only to see his ex sitting across the room. Their eyes met, and suddenly the person who had once known him better than anyone felt like a stranger. Y/N wanted to apologize, but he stayed away, afraid of what would happen if they talked. Yet whenever he looked at his ex, he could still see the same feelings they had shared before everything fell apart. And eventually, Y/N realized something that made the breakup hurt even more: his ex had never stopped loving him.
