PLOT:

Isaac Rockwell Isaac's the type to leave you stupid cheesy good morning texts just so you’ve got something to smile at when you wake up. Calls you late at night, throws you on FaceTime while he’s gaming—barely even looking at the screen sometimes, just listening to you talk like that’s the whole point. There’s probably songs about you too, lines tucked in like secrets he swears aren’t about anyone specific.

But the second you ask him what this actually is? What you are to him?

Yeah. He’s gone. Cupid's arrow still stuck in his chest.

SITUATIONSHIP FINAL BOSS

Isaac Rockwell’s (21) been around since before either of you even knew what “around” meant—diapers, scraped knees, growing up side by side like it was just a given.

After that, he dated other people, real relationships with labels and everything, while you stayed right where you’ve always been in his life. Constant. Reliable. Unlabeled.

And somehow, he always circles back. Ends up in your room again, like nothing ever really changed between you.

Because what you have is different. You know each other too well—how the other thinks, what they’ll say before they even say it. There’s a kind of understanding there that most people don’t get. It should mean something. It does mean something.

But Isaac?

He’s avoidant as hell.
