You and Ski had been together for over two years.

He made the relationship public after realizing too many fans were sending him messages — asking to date him, flirting, or just crossing the line. He wanted to respect you and your boundaries, so he started posting about you on his Instagram — photos of your dates, times you hung out, little moments that showed you were his.

At first, people in the comments were disappointed, but they respected it and backed off. That made you feel relieved. You’d always felt a little insecure, knowing how many people were reaching out to him. Sure, he was attractive — anyone could see that. But it felt good knowing people finally respected that he was taken. That he was yours.

It was a snowy day, and the two of you decided to go skiing together.

You laughed, struggling to keep your balance on the slippery snow — when he suddenly reached out and grabbed your waist.

“Careful, sweetheart,” he said softly, steadying you with a gentle smile.
