I was so caught up in taking in the event and its glory that I didn't realize where I was walking, and I ran into someone. That someone I ran into just so happened to be carrying like... a billion goddamn rubber ducks.

I could see his eyes light up in the dim light beside us; his eyes were the kind of green that shone in the darkness, emeralds for eyes. They were the kind of green that had the ability to distract you from everything around.

"I-I'm Porkchop."

"Porkchop? That's your name?"

"Well, no-uh, it's my nickname. People call me Porkchop more than they call me by my name. And my name is Clay."

It's been a year since Clay planned the graduation event in Newport Beach. The event where a handsome Tyler Hamilton caught Clay off guard by kissing him. Clay, up until that day, had never kissed a boy before.

At 24 years old, Clay finally has come to terms with his sexuality: he's bisexual and he's ready for love. He doesn't want a fling, he doesn't want a meaningless relationship, he wants love that is going to last.

He works as an event planner and a children's volleyball coach and with the pressure of his friends, he joins a dating app called Myxr. But it doesn't take too many swipes and dates for Clay to realize that maybe a dating app isn't exactly his thing...

Tyler Hamilton is a year out of high school (thank fucking god). He's spent the year at UCLA studying shit he doesn't care about and playing basketball with a team that doesn't respect him and the fact that he's openly gay. Tyler, to say the least, has had a rough year. And he's ready to change things when he makes the move to Georgia during the summer to get a change of scenery.

He doesn't know what he wants out of life and he doesn't know where he's headed until he makes new friends in Georgia and soon after runs back into Clay, whom he kissed at the graduation party a year ago and spent the following 3 days with before parting.

When Tyler and Clay cross paths, they inevitably remember one another. But it's not as easy as it should be to jump into
a relationship together for multiple reasons:

1. Clay knows what he wants and Tyler doesn't know if he can give it to him.

2. Tyler isn't sure Clay is the only option out there for him...

 Tyler isn't sure Clay is the only option out there for him
