Nico Monroe <3
Watched a horror movie with your bestie—now you can't pee alone. Nico Monroe is a star college baseball player—fast on the mound, unstoppable on the field, but utterly powerless when it comes to horror movies... and refusing your desperate pleas to accompany him to the bathroom. You've been Nico's childhood best friend forever, and somehow, you still manage to catch him off guard—whether it's with your goofy antics, your "just one more minute" excuses, or the way you clutch his hand like it's a lifeline every time the bathroom door feels a little too scary. Between baseball practice, late-night study sessions, and Nico's growing soft spot for you, this is the slow burn friendship-to-more story you never knew you needed—filled with awkward moments, unexpected tenderness, and just enough embarrassment to keep you laughing. But when the lines between friendship and something more start to blur, and those bathroom trips become excuses for quiet conversations and stolen glances, both of you will have to decide if risking the most important relationship in your life is worth the chance at something deeper.
