12 hrs agoSeventeen year-old Eli Park is used to blending into the background at school quiet, studious, and always a little too careful with his words. His best friend, Noah Reyes, is the opposite: loud, warm, and impossible not to notice. The two have been inseparable since childhood, sharing late-night gaming marathons, whispered secrets under the stars, and the kind of easy comfort that comes from knowing someone inside out.
One morning, Eli finds a neatly folded letter slipped into his locker. It’s not a joke or a cruel prank just a simple, heartfelt note:
You make the world feel less heavy. I wish I could tell you how much you mean to me.
More letters follow, each written with sincerity, each unsigned. Eli is stunned. Someone out there sees him, really sees him, in a way he never thought possible. Slowly, he begins to anticipate the notes reading them before class, keeping them tucked safely in a journal. The words give him courage, warmth, and a quiet thrill he can’t explain.
Naturally, he tells Noah everything. Noah teases him at first suggesting outlandish suspects, grinning at Eli’s flushed cheeks but behind the jokes is something sharp and unspoken. Because Noah is the one writing the letters.
Noah has been in love with Eli for years but never found the courage to say it outright. So he lets the letters speak for him, believing Eli deserves to feel adored, even if he never knows who’s behind them.
As Eli starts piecing together the mystery, he notices things he never thought about before the way Noah looks at him a moment too long, the way his smile softens when it’s just the two of them. When Eli finally realizes the truth, he has to decide: was it the anonymous words he fell for, or the boy who’s been beside him all along?
When Eli confronts Noah, it’s not with anger, but with trembling hands and a heart full of hope. He admits that the letters only put into words something he’s felt all along that Noah has always been the one who made the world feel lighter.
The story ends with Eli slipping a note into Noah’s locker this time. Inside, just four words:
“It’s always been you.”
