First of all hii and congrats on your smau. I’m literally obsessed with it. Second I saw your requests are open and I was thinking about the reader being friend with Rafe and the boys since they were kids but she’d always been closer to Rafe since their families are pretty close. Unlike them she thinks the whole Kook vs Pogue thing is bullshit so she usually hangs out with the pogues too especially since Sarah started dating John B. At one bonfire Sarah leaves her alone and some guy tries to flirt with her but since she’s not interested in him she kindly rejects him but the guy becomes defensive and pretty pushy (you can make him as angry as u want I’m okay, anything you’re comfortable with). She starts panicking rlly bad and Top sees her and he tells Rafe.

The boy sees RED, especially since she’s on the verge of tears. He fights the guy and after the boys manage to take Rafe off the dude he leaves with the reader. She takes care of his wounds and he observes the fact that she’s shaking and almost crying the reason being that she’s feeling guilty. They have a super sweet but tensionate moment when she asks hm why he’s nice to her but mean to everyone else. He tells her she’s his soft spot and they hook up. 👉🏻👈🏻

I hope I didn’t gave too much or too little details. You can add whatever you think is necesarry. I just like the idea of a protective Rafe sm. And the “I hate everyone but you” trope is one of my faves.

Thank u sm, even if u end up writing this or not, thank you for taking the time to read it 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Aaah thank you so much! I also love this idea! I'm in a very inspired mood and the story is ready... you can read here.

Main Characters Introduction

Y/N Thornton

After four years at NYU, Y/N Thornton has transformed into a confident, independent city girl with a chic, minimalist style and a driven, ambitious attitude. Life in New York has turned her into a coffee addict who navigates the city’s fast pace with ease, juggling a packed schedule and staying connected through her social feeds. She’s cultured, well-versed in everything from art galleries to trendy rooftop bars, and keeps a balanced lifestyle with yoga and the latest wellness trends. Returning to the OBX feels both nostalgic and surreal, as if she’s stepping back in time. Her sophisticated city life feels worlds away from the laid-back beach town, and her relationships—even with her brother Topper—seem distant and complicated. But the most unexpected pull comes from Rafe Cameron, a reminder of her past who now sparks conflicting feelings, blending familiarity with an intense chemistry that’s both thrilling and dangerous.

Rafe Cameron

Rafe Cameron is the epitome of Kildare Island's rebellious, privileged elite, a product of wealth who’s always struggled with the darker edges of his personality. Charismatic yet volatile, he’s known for his wild parties, quick temper, and magnetic charm that makes him both irresistible and dangerous. Rafe has a complicated, love-hate relationship with the OBX lifestyle; he loves the freedom and dominance his family’s money brings but resents the expectations placed upon him. To his friends, he’s fiercely loyal, though his intensity sometimes borders on possessiveness, especially with those who get close to him. Outwardly calm but constantly on the edge, Rafe is a risk-taker who’s unapologetically himself, even if it means walking the line between respectability and ruin.

Author's Note: Some characters will be added throughout the series. So far, these are them :) Hope you guys enjoy!

Side Characters Introduction

Sarah Cameron

Sarah Cameron is a mix of elegance, charm, and rebellious spirit, raised in luxury but always feeling out of place in her family's world. Fiercely loyal and unafraid to speak her mind, she’s close friends with Y/N, who shares her rebellious streak, while her complicated relationships with her ex, Topper, and her brother, Rafe, keep her grounded. Though she was once immersed in the Kook lifestyle, Sarah finds herself drawn to the simpler, more authentic side of life. 

Topper Thornton

Topper Thornton is Y/N’s older brother, and their relationship is complicated, marked by both deep care and underlying tension. As Rafe Cameron’s best friend, Topper is fiercely loyal to him, often putting his friendship with Rafe above all else. While Topper can be charming and protective, his complicated dynamic with Y/N adds a layer of tension, particularly due to his desire to protect her, but also the ways in which their differences have pushed them apart. His loyalty to Rafe and the Kook lifestyle sometimes puts him at odds with Y/N, who may feel that Topper’s allegiance to his friends and status often keeps him distant, but he’s always there when she needs him, even if it’s in a tough-love kind of way.

Kelce

Kelce is the charming, carefree flirt of the group, always ready with a playful comment or a joke to keep things light. He thrives on attention and enjoys stirring things up, especially by flirting with Y/N to annoy Topper, though he has no real romantic interest in her. A master of staying laid-back and avoiding anything serious, Kelce values fun and spontaneity over-commitment. Loyal to his friends, especially Topper and Rafe, he’s the life of the party but often avoids deep emotional connections, preferring to keep things casual and carefree.

"Maybe… because I forgot how hard it was to let go of this place," you whispered, finally finding your voice, though you didn’t know if you meant the OBX or him.

Rafe's POV

Y/N's POV

The night was warm, a rare comfort in the Outer Banks’ summer, but you couldn’t sleep. Restless, you’d wandered outside to escape the confines of the house, only to find yourself in a familiar place—by the Cameron family dock. The last place you wanted to be, yet somehow, your feet had carried you here as if they knew better than your heart.

And then you saw him.

Rafe, leaning against his boat with that same easy posture, his profile outlined against the quiet water. Your heart stumbled, forgetting the thousand reasons you’d told yourself to leave him in the past, in New York, along with everything else you'd outgrown. But he looked up, and the way his eyes met yours felt like time folding in on itself. In that single glance, nothing had changed—same intense gaze, same cocky, half-smile tugging at his lips, as if he knew exactly the effect he had on you.

"Y/N," he murmured, voice low, laced with that familiar, dangerous warmth that made you want to run and stay all at once.

For a moment, words failed you. The only thing you could do was swallow and keep your voice steady. “Didn’t think I’d run into you here.”

He chuckled softly, pushing off the boat. "I could say the same," he replied, stepping closer, and you felt yourself caught in his orbit again, helpless to resist.

It was maddening. You wanted to laugh at the cruel irony of it all. Out of all the people in the world, of all the memories you’d hoped to outgrow, it was Rafe who slipped back into your life as if he’d never left, hitting right at your weakest spot. Every hurt, every tear you’d shed trying to forget him—all of it flashed back with his single glance. And yet, here you were, heart racing as he came close enough that his familiar scent—salt and that faint cologne you knew too well—wrapped around you like a net.

"Why are you back here, Y/N?" he asked, the question weighted, his gaze soft but searching. There was something in his eyes that made your breath catch, a glimmer of the Rafe you’d once fallen for—the one who held a piece of your heart, no matter how much you tried to bury it.

"Maybe… because I forgot how hard it was to let go of this place," you whispered, finally finding your voice, though you didn’t know if you meant the OBX or him.

He tilted his head, that trademark smirk turning softer, more vulnerable. “Funny,” he murmured. “Because I was starting to think I'd lost my chance to see you again."

The words landed, striking every part of you you’d tried to protect. But he kept looking at you, holding you in his gaze, and for a heartbeat, the past didn’t feel so far away. And despite every promise you’d made to yourself, you felt it—your heart slipping, falling, betraying you all over again.
