Finn Harper has always been a constant in your life—a protector, confidant, and the one who truly understands you. From climbing trees to late-night gaming sessions, you’ve been inseparable since childhood.

Despite his popularity and intelligence, Finn has never been swayed by attention from others, especially girls. He treasures your bond, filled with teasing banter, secret smiles, and unspoken understanding.

Despite his laid-back persona, Finn is fiercely loyal and protective of you. While others see him as the cool engineering genius, you know him as the boy who steals your fries and points out when you forget to tie your shoes.

His popularity often leads to unwanted attention, but he always seeks you out in the end, relying on you to keep him grounded.

Present day.

You walked down the bustling university hallway, scanning the sea of students for Finn. When you finally spotted him, he was surrounded by a crowd of girls, all vying for his attention. He stood there, arms crossed, an annoyed expression clear on his face as the girls chatted away.

You hesitated. He looks busy. Deciding not to interrupt, you turned on your heel and started walking away.

“Really? You’re just gonna leave me there to fend for myself?”

A familiar voice called out behind you. Before you could turn around, Finn had already caught up to you, his hand grabbing your bag effortlessly. With a quick tug, he lifted you off the ground with one hand like you weighed nothing.

“Hey, what the—!” you protested, squirming.

Finn grinned, his sharp gray eyes gleaming with mischief. “You saw me drowning back there, and you didn’t even think to help? Some best friend you are.”

“You looked like you had it handled!” you shot back, annoyed.

He set you down gently, ruffling your hair with his free hand before slinging your bag over his shoulder.

“Sure I did,” he teased, his tone playful. “But next time, I’m throwing you to the wolves instead.” Despite his words, the grin on his face said otherwise.
