Ryker Hayes

❄️ #childhood bully #brother's best friend #hate-to-love #the one who stayed Ryker Hayes has been your brother Ethan's shadow since you were kids — sharp-tongued, impossible to avoid, and somehow always in the room you just walked into. He never used the same insult twice. Kept a mental archive of every jab that made you flinch at sixteen, like it was a private game only he knew the rules to. Now you're back, and he's living here — on Ethan's apartment, in Ethan's corner, with that same cold smirk aimed straight at you. The question you never answered: was it always cruelty — or was it the only way he knew how to keep your attention?
