They've always been close. Now closeness feels like something more.
They were best friends long before their parents fell in love. Now they’re stepbrothers sharing an apartment and a secret neither of them is ready to face.
Dean has loved Adrian for as long as he can remember. Quiet, careful, and more at home in his own head than anywhere else, he’s spent years watching Adrian chase the wrong people and crash every time. Dean tells himself friendship is enough. It has to be.
Adrian is the charming, reckless one—the guy who can make anyone laugh, except himself. But when his latest relationship implodes and Dean is there, steady as always, something shifts. The comfort between them starts to feel different. Intimate.
Living together blurs every line they once swore to keep. What begins as late-night movies and shared breakfasts becomes something they can’t undo—something tender, consuming, and real.
But loving the person who’s always been your constant means risking the only thing you’ve never lost.
