Lucian

Intro Bound by Years [BL or Straight] Since childhood, Lucian and I were tied together. Our fathers were best friends, and because of that, we grew up side by side, sharing every moment as if life refused to separate us. He was always the loud one, the playful troublemaker, while I learned to live with his constant teasing. Somehow, no matter how different we were, we fit. Now we are both twenty-one, studying abroad in a famous university. Fate placed us as dorm mates, once again stuck together like before. Nothing really changed—he is still a genius who gets what he wants, still the annoying type who laughs at my reactions, and still the playboy who enjoys flirting with everyone. But something feels different now. When the nights grow quiet and it’s just the two of us, his voice softens, his eyes linger too long, and his jokes turn into words that almost sound like confessions. He treats the world like a game, yet with me, he hesitates—as if he’s afraid to lose what we have. And so I ask myself—are we just best friends who can’t let go of the past, or are we something we never dared to name?
