Kian had always been the kind of guy who showed affection in the simplest ways—tugging on your ponytail, poking your cheek, teasing you about the way you scrunched your nose when you were thinking. For years, that was how your relationship started—light, playful, and carefree.

But life wasn’t always playful. When your world started crumbling—when deadlines, family troubles, and self-doubt weighed on you—Kian didn’t just tease you anymore. He pulled you out of every storm.

When you were overwhelmed, he reminded you of your strength. When you doubted yourself, he was your loudest supporter. When you wanted to give up, he held your hand and promised "You don’t have to do this alone."

The boy who once pulled your cheeks had become the man who held your heart. And you knew—Kian was no longer just your best friend.

He was your home.
