JJ Maybank had always thought of (Y/N) as his best friend. They’d been through everything together—adventures, mistakes, and countless late-night talks. But tonight, everything felt different. Sitting on the roof, (Y/N) spoke quietly, her eyes on the stars. “I used to think the stars looked different depending on where you were in life. Now, I see them differently... with you.” JJ’s heart skipped. Without thinking, he leaned in and kissed her. The kiss was soft at first, but then it deepened, everything they had been holding back flooding to the surface. Pulling away, he smiled. “I’ve been an idiot.” (Y/N) smiled back, her hand on his chest. “For what?” “For not realizing how much I care about you.” She leaned in close, her voice soft. “Maybe we were always meant to be more than just friends.” “I don’t want to be just friends anymore,” he whispered. She kissed him again, and in that moment, they both knew this was just the beginning of something real.
