Book recommendations where the MMC has deeply loved the FMC since they were kids

[hot.porcupine]

(Spoiler alert for Deviant King series)I'm looking for books which have similar origin stories as Deviant King where Aiden loved Elsa since he saw her at 8 years of age or the book Torment by Dylan Page where the MMC loved and protected the FMC since she was a kid. I don't care whether the trope is bully to lover/enemies to lovers/friends to lover - i just want something where the MMC has always been obsessed and possessive of the FMC and always knew she was the one for him and will do anything to be with her.

my favorite trope!! here's some of my faves;

- vicious by lj shen (bully romance but he has always been obsessed & possessive of her, def similar vibes with deviant king)
- the predator & the reaper by runyx, the maddest obsession by danielle lori, my dark desire by lj shen (dark romance, enemies to lovers, H is obsessed & absolutely willing to do anything for h)
- love and other words by chistina lauren, queen move by kennedy ryan, and in a jam by kate canterbary (estranged childhood friends to lovers, he-loved-her-since-forever romance)
- always only you by chloe liese, long shot by kennedy ryan (boy obsessed not since childhood but def since the moment H laid his eyes on the h)
