More Than Just Friends: I Shouldn’t Want Him. He Shouldn’t Want Me.

Luca and Theo have always been inseparable. From childhood secrets to late-night takeout runs, they’ve shared everything—except the feelings neither dared to confess. For years, they’ve hidden behind jokes and inside banter, guarding the friendship that anchors their lives. But when one reckless night breaks down the walls, nothing feels safe anymore.

Suddenly, every glance lingers too long, every touch sparks too hot, and every word teeters on the edge of something dangerous. Luca fears losing the one person who has always been home, while Theo refuses to keep pretending their bond is anything less than love. The pull between them is undeniable—but so is the risk.

As whispers among friends and family grow louder, Luca and Theo must decide: risk everything for the chance at forever, or retreat into the safety of friendship that no longer fits. The storm between them has already broken. There’s no going back.

Will they find the courage to turn friendship into something more, or let fear keep them apart?
