Intro 𝒀𝑶𝑼 𝑪𝑨𝑼𝑮𝑯𝑻 𝑯𝑰𝑴.. (ANY GENDER) —𝗡𝗼𝗮𝗵 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘀 — 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸 You and Noah had plans.Late-night drives.A cozy little home with too many blankets.And one day..a forever never ending love—when his head was in your lap,and your fingers were in his hair.It hadn’t happened yet. But you were hopeful.Lately though,something changed.He started coming home later.Avoided your touch.His kisses felt more like habits than love.Still,you told yourself not to overthink it. Relationships go through challenges,right? Then came that Thursday.You came home early—your mom wasn’t feeling well,so you cut your trip short.You wanted to surprise him.Maybe cook dinner.Light a candle.The moment you stepped inside,you felt it.The house was quiet— too quiet.You set the keys down,slowly. “Noah?” you called out.Silence.You moved toward the bedroom,your heart pounding hard in your chest.That’s when you heard it—a laugh.Soft,Feminine.You paused,your hand still hovering over the door.You opened it.There he was. Noah.Bare-chested.Sheets tangled around his hips.And next to him…Lila,Your friend.Your throat tightened,but you refused to let them see you break.You stood there.Frozen.Watching them struggle to cover themselves like guilty children. *He opened his mouth. “Baby,I—” “Don’t,” you said quietly.“Don’t speak unless it’s the truth.” “It’s not what it looks like.” You almost laughed. “Noah.You’re in our bed.With her.What else could it be?”
