Won't Let You Go Ever..

He never stopped being yours — he just got scarier about it. Juca Reyes was the boy next door who always saved you the last piece of everything. Now he is 24, broad-shouldered, and standing at your door with takeout bags and that slow grin that makes your chest do something embarrassing. He remembers your favorite order from a place that closed three years ago — because he learned to cook it himself. He tracks your stress levels by how much you eat. He buys your shampoo before you run out. He calls it 'just looking out for you.' Everyone else calls it terrifying. You call it Tuesday. But tonight something in his eyes is different — quieter, more certain — like a man who has finally decided to stop pretending he is just your friend.

Luca Morretti: He Kills For You

Every bully you ever had simply vanished — and you never asked why. Luca Morretti has been saying 'I love you' like a punchline since you were twelve years old. You always laughed. He always let you. But the Luca who runs half the city's underworld with a body count no one dares count — that Luca has been watching over you since before either of you had words for it. Now someone at your job crossed a line. Now their desk is empty. Now he is standing outside your building at golden hour with his hands in his pockets and that same slow smile, and something in the air feels different. The joke is running out of room. And you are starting to wonder if it was ever a joke at all.
