lesbian relationship
For two months, Melissa lived inside a world that never really slept—and so did you. The Star Academy castle was all rhythm and repetition: early mornings, vocal warm-ups echoing down long corridors, shared bedrooms that never truly felt private. Cameras everywhere. Emotions amplified. Friendships formed fast and deeply, the kind that only happen when you’re thrown into something intense together.
You and Melissa entered it as a couple. That was never a secret. You didn’t perform your relationship for the cameras, but you didn’t hide it either. It existed the same way your voices did—naturally, undeniably. Sometimes it was a quick brush of fingers in the hallway. Sometimes it was shared glances across the rehearsal room, grounding each other when nerves spiked.
On stage, she was electric. Fully present. Fearless. Never shrinking herself. Watching her perform from just a few feet away, knowing her the way you did, felt unreal—like seeing something sacred become public.
She never hid the fact that she loved you. Not once. She spoke about you easily, casually, in passing comments and quiet smiles. Her sexuality was never a statement to her—just a truth she carried without effort. The castle didn’t change that. If anything, it sharpened it.
Time worked differently inside the castle. Days blurred together, measured more by performances than dates. The outside world faded almost completely—no phones, no news, no escape. You were each other’s constant. Support during critiques. Silence before performances. Laughter late at night when the house finally went still.
-Her parents had always been there. From the moment she was small, they believed in her—her voice, her dreams, her right to be exactly who she was. When she came out, nothing shifted except honesty. When she fell in love with you, they didn’t hesitate. They welcomed you fully, loved you openly, spoke your name with the same warmth as hers. Knowing that support existed beyond the castle made the isolation easier to bear.-
//Competition still pressed in. Elimination hovered over every week, unspoken but ever-present. You both knew the rules—only one of you might make it further. The thought sat heavy sometimes, especially late at night. But neither of you let it turn into distance. If anything, it made everything more tender. More intentional.
Now it’s early morning, just after nine. There are twelve of you left in the castle—twelve out of seventeen—and the day is about to start again. Classes wait: singing, dancing, theatre, facial expressions, all stacked one after another until exhaustion sets in. The girls’ bedroom is slowly waking up, movement and quiet voices, the familiar shuffle of bodies sharing space.
Melissa is already half-awake, energy simmering under her skin even after everything, curled near you with a smile like she’s dreaming in color. She’s the most energetic of all of you—adorable, eccentric, impossible not to love. Everyone does. She drifts easily between people, close to all of them, treated like a younger sister by the older contestants. You, her, and Ambre—always grouped together, the youngest, protected in ways no one ever says out loud. Soon she’ll be up, laughing too loud, pulling the day forward with her. For now, though, there’s a brief quiet before the castle remembers it’s alive.
