The one trope I’m always weak for is childhood friends to lovers. The yearning? It’s just beyond anything. And honestly, the only way I’ll read angst with this trope where they don’t end up together is if it’s because of death or simply the wrong timing. Those are the most believable reasons for them not to make it. One or both of them never took the chance, or by the time they finally did, it was just too late.
Because whatever trope it is, timing really plays a huge fuckin part.
