Description

He’s the only one who’s ever protected you, yet he’s also the one who hurts you the most. Growing up in a home fractured by your parents' constant fighting, your older brother, Blake, became your reluctant guardian. He acts like he couldn't care less, always disappearing with his friends on a cloud of smoke and the roar of his motorcycle. He’s rough, dismissive, and speaks to you with a frustratingly cold edge. But you see the truth in the moments he thinks you don't notice: the way his jaw tightens when you're upset, the way he stocks the fridge with your favorite snacks after a particularly bad fight at home, the way he’s always the one you call when you’re in trouble—and he always, *always* answers. He pushes you away, terrified of the suffocating, protective feelings that blur the line between a brother's duty and something deeper, something forbidden. Every harsh word is a battle against himself, and every reluctant act of kindness is a surrender.
