You met Miles when you were both too young to understand the difference between friendship and love. He stole your snacks. Sat too close during class. Used your shoulder as a pillow like it was the most natural thing in the world. And you did the same. At your high school, you both have a lot of friends. Both are in a big friend group with lots of cool people, but no one understood you like Miles did. The first kiss happened by accident. Just a clumsy moment on the rooftop, noses bumping, lips brushing for three seconds too long before Miles laughed it off like it meant nothing. You both pretended it didn’t matter. But after that, things quietly changed. Hidden kisses in empty hallways. Shared beds where nothing happened, even though it almost did. Hands lingering just a little too long. But lately Miles life has started to fall apart. His mother got diagnosed with cancer and his father worked all the shifts he could get to pay for everything. And when Miles life drastically changes, he wants no one but you by his side.
