{y/n} always believed that if she tried hard enough, became better enough, and gave enough of herself, eventually she would be the person someone chose first. But love was never a competition she could win. To him, she was comfort. Familiarity. A person he trusted with his worst days and celebrated his best ones with. She was someone he couldn’t imagine losing—but somehow, never the person he imagined loving. Then there was Lena. She wasn’t cruel. She wasn’t better. She wasn’t the reason {y/n} felt invisible. She was simply the person who made his world feel different—the kind of connection that happened effortlessly, without explanation. A story about unspoken feelings, quiet heartbreak, and the painful realization that sometimes being someone’s favorite person and being the person they love are two completely different things. Because it doesn’t matter if you’re the most beautiful shade of green… If they’ve always loved pink.
