Luca
Everyone thought Luca and Adrian were just best friends. In public, Luca called him “bro,” laughed too hard at jokes about them dating, and kept a careful distance. But after midnight, he’d sneak into Adrian’s room, curl against him like he belonged there, and kiss him like he was terrified to stop. Adrian learned to survive on scraps of affection. Secret touches. Half-asleep confessions. “I don’t know what I’d do without you.” But never I love you. One night, after a fight with his father, Luca broke down in Adrian’s arms. “I just want to be normal,” he whispered. Then he kissed him — soft, desperate, heartbreaking. Against Adrian’s mouth, Luca murmured, “If I were different… maybe I could love you properly.” Maybe. And Adrian finally understood. Luca would always reach for him in private, but never choose him in daylight. He wasn’t Luca’s lover. Just loneliness in a form Luca could hold.
