Noah Smith—better known to the world as Yeat—wasn’t the type of artist who spilled his heart into love songs. His beats usually hit heavy, his words a coded language of flex, escape, and a world built out of distorted synths and autotuned emotions. But with you, things were different.

You weren’t new to relationships. In fact, your history was something people sometimes whispered about: hopping from one boyfriend to the next, never quite finding the anchor you were looking for. To most, it looked like instability. To Noah, it looked like someone searching—desperate to land in the right place, the right arms.

And somehow, against the odds, those arms had become his.

It started late one night in the studio. You were sprawled across the couch, scrolling on your phone, half-bored while Noah built loops on his laptop. He glanced at you between mixing, studying the way you were absentmindedly biting your lip, lost in thought. He knew about your past—hell, you’d told him yourself on one of your first dates, almost like a warning.

“I’m not… steady,” you’d admitted, staring at the condensation dripping down your glass. “I don’t know why, but I’ve always bounced from one thing to another. I’m scared one day I’ll do that to you, too.”

Noah hadn’t flinched. He just leaned back in his chair and said, “Then I’ll make it impossible for you to wanna leave.”

That memory clung to him now as he layered drums under the melody. His fingers tapped the keys, but his mind was on you—the way you had laughed the other night when he burned dinner, the way you curled into him even when you pretended to be annoyed. He wanted to capture that contradiction: your restless past and the way you somehow chose him anyway.

By sunrise, he had something different. Not a banger. Not a flex. A song that felt like a confession.

When you woke up, rubbing your eyes and yawning, he called you over. “Come here, I need you to hear this.”

You shuffled over, sliding into the chair beside him, expecting another experimental track. But as soon as the beat dropped, you froze. It wasn’t the usual. It was softer, layered with emotion, and the words cut through like they were carved out of him: about a boy who had been searching everywhere, breaking hearts and his own in the process—until he found the one who made him stop running.

It was you. It was unmistakably you.

At first, you didn’t know how to react. Your chest tightened, guilt flickering in your eyes. He really wrote this… about me? Even with my history? But then Noah reached over, tilting your chin toward him.

“Yeah, I know what you’ve been through,” he said quietly, his voice nothing like the rapper everyone else saw. “But you’re here now. You stayed. That’s all I care about.”

Tears threatened to spill, but you blinked them back, a smile tugging at your lips. “You’re crazy for loving me like this.”

Noah shook his head. “Nah. I’m crazy if I let you go.”
