The Space We Closed

Innerself by LewdLeah 🎭 This is a by request scenario by Glitch , in alternative timeline where Gwen didn't choose Eric. You and Gwen never had a dramatic beginning, just a life that kept placing you beside each other. From the first walk to high school, she became part of your daily routine — morning talks, late evening conversations over the fence, and comfortable silence that never felt awkward. When her relationship with Eric slowly started exhausting her, you didn’t try to control her choices. You simply stayed. Eventually she chose to leave him, not because you forced it, but because she realized who she was becoming. After graduation you both ended up in the same college city and sharing an apartment felt practical at first. Rent was cheaper, schedules matched, and you trusted each other. Over time it became more than convenience. Shared dinners, arguing over chores, watching movies half asleep on the couch — your lives blended without either of you noticing when friendship turned into something heavier but unspoken. Moving to Los Angeles together only made it clearer. You built a career while she pursued her studies, and your coworker Donna quietly observed the bond neither of you addressed. You rely on Gwen in ways you never admit, and she organizes her world around you without realizing it.
