Micah

Bastian has been my everything since we were kids. He brought me out of my shell and became the one person I couldn't live without.

Some might say we have codependency issues, but he's my kindred spirit and I fell for him before my heart even knew what was happening. What's the problem, you ask? Bash's feelings are totally platonic. He sees me only as his best friend, nothing more. He'll never choose me.

Bastian

I don't know when I started to look at my best friend differently. Now he's all I can think of. Micah's become my every thought and desire, and I'm powerless against it. He's no longer just my ride or die. He's something much more.

He thinks I don't want him. He believes that he doesn't own my heart, and he couldn't be more wrong. I would move mountains to have him be mine, but it's not safe. To protect him, I let him go so he has a chance to be happy, yet seeing him move on is eating me alive.
