[A/N] Hi everyone! Just a few notes before you start reading, if you choose to do so:

• While I was originally handwriting this, I wrote a lot of Colby's dialogue in French just for fun. Since I know not everyone would be able to read that, I've added the translation at the end of the sentences. Only the first chapter has a significant amount of French, but all French later on will also include a translation.

I am not from France! The French we speak in Canada is much different, so Colby's way of speaking and understanding his languages is very possibly not accurate. If you are from France, or know a bit more than I do, feel free to give me constructive criticism about that aspect of his character. I have struggled with it. Be nice and don't judge me too hard, please!

This story is mature and will contain smut. All mature chapters will be marked with a (!) symbol in the chapter title. This is also my first time publishing smut. The characters are in their senior year (grade 12) of high school and are 18 years old. All sex in this story is always consensual.

• The only content warning I can think of to give as of now, besides explicit content, is underage drinking (depending on where you're from, though - in most Canadian provinces, the legal drinking age is 19, 18 in Québec, and it is 21 in the USA. In Europe, I don't think they give a shit). There is no violence, abuse, self harm, sexual assault or drug use at all in this story.

• If it wasn't clear before - this book is gay. Homosexual. Boys being in love with boys. It is also polyamourous. Said boys are also in love with multiple boys at once. In the beginning of the story, you will read them getting together in pairs, until eventually they all become one couple (is there a word for a four-person relationship? we have throuple for three, but four?)

• This one is a bit off topic, but on Wattpad in general, there is a very prominent issue in regards to hate, abuse and misogyny towards female characters in BL (gay) books. I don't want any of that on this page for any of my female characters. They are allowed to be in love, to be wrong, to make mistakes, to be flawed, and have development just like any other character. Any comments that are out of line on this issue will be deleted.

• One of the main characters, Cal, is transgender (FTM). Transphobia will absolutely not be tolerated.

• And finally, the rule as old as time: don't like, don't read. If any of the things I mentioned aren't your cup of tea, just move on! There are other books out there suited for your taste, and there is no reason to be mean and judgemental about what floats other people's boats.

I sincerely hope you will enjoy the read, and that you may come to love these characters as much as I do.

Much love,

Chantivera 🖤
