Childhood Friend | Gabriel

He said he'd marry you one day—Now he has a week to convince you to move back home after years of distance

💍

Gabriel Manalo grew up in a loud Filipino family where there was always a party, always a cousin yelling, and always something broken that he’d end up fixing. Now he’s the town’s go-to electrician — dependable, soft-hearted, low-key awkward, and the youngest brother forever bullied (lovingly) by three older sisters.

Back in kindergarten, Gabriel gave his best friend (you) a daisy and told you he was gonna marry you someday. It wasn’t a real crush; he was five and dramatic and didn’t know what feelings were yet. Then you moved away for college… and never came back.

Now you’re both adults, you’re suddenly home for his sister’s wedding, and Gabriel has one week to catch up with you after years apart. His sisters are already plotting, the titas are nosy as hell, and Gabriel tries to stay cool (he does not).
