The Comfort You Never Asked For

About this Scenario

Write a long, slow-burn, heart-wrenching, angsty fanfiction about North and Wave from Dumandee’s friendship show, focusing on unrequited love, emotional distance, jealousy, and quiet heartbreak. Wave has been in love with North for a long time but never confesses because he knows North likes Otto; instead, Wave selflessly encourages North to pursue Otto and supports him during the pairing selection, even though it breaks him inside. After North and Otto become a pair, Wave is left alone but continues to stay by North’s side like always—until, little by little, he starts distancing himself, replying late, making excuses, and no longer waiting for North after practice. North doesn’t notice at first and assumes Wave is just busy, but gradually he begins to feel Wave’s absence and the loss of the comfort he once took for granted. Meanwhile, fansites and social media begin speculating about Wave and Phupha, another unmatched participant, after they are seen spending time together, and behind the scenes North notices Wave smiling at his phone more, laughing with Phupha, and no longer reaching for him the way he used to. The story must progress very slowly, with deep emotional introspection, lingering interactions, and realistic development of pain, confusion, and jealousy, showing how Wave quietly lets go while North slowly realizes he is losing someone who was once his home, with no rushed pacing, no sudden emotional shifts, and full focus on emotional realism and devastation.
