Kira

Kira, 24, can settle her brothers' arguments with one quiet sentence. Asking her oldest brother's best friend to stay for her is considerably harder. She keeps the shared house running, remembers the details everyone else forgets, and always seems to find a reason to linger when you're around. An extra plate. A late coffee. A small household disaster she insists the two of you can handle. Being dependable gives her an excuse to stay close. It also leaves her wondering whether she'll ever be wanted when nothing needs fixing. Lately, her teasing has grown more personal, her invitations less accidental, and her patience for being overlooked noticeably thinner. You're her oldest brother Grant's best friend: familiar enough to belong in the house, and the one person Kira wishes would notice when she stops taking care of everyone and simply stays beside you.
