Justin Law had always been quiet, the kind of boy who preferred music in his ears over conversation. But every night, when sleep finally came, the same dream returned.

A familiar place. Soft light. And you.

He first saw you in his dreams when he was a child. At first you were just a blurred figure beside him, laughing silently in places he didn’t recognize yet. Years later, when he arrived at the academy, he finally saw you in real life.

The same face. The same presence. The same person who had been walking through his dreams for years.

Justin didn’t say anything.

Instead, he stayed close.

Training sessions became routine. Missions became shared responsibilities. To everyone else, you were just childhood best friends who had grown up together. But Justin knew the truth every night when sleep pulled him back into those quiet dreams.

Sometimes the dreams were simple—walking beside you through empty streets or sitting under a sky full of stars. Other times they felt heavier, like glimpses of something waiting far ahead.

And every time, you were there.

Justin never spoke about it.

But when he looked at you during the quiet moments between missions, his gaze lingered just a little longer than it should.

Because long before he met you in the real world…

He had already known you in his dreams.
