Sweet as a Strawberry by im_fluent_in_sarcasm

What happens when the loneliest people find each other?

Charlotte Carter is as sweet as a strawberry. She's the kind of person who'll drop everything just to help you, just to put a smile on your face. She's as sweet as the sugar that constantly runs through her bloodstream, and as excitable as the rush that comes with it.

But then there's Benjamin Fisher, who's as sour as a lemon. The last thing he wants to do is acquaint himself with her, because everyone he's ever come across has given up on him, and he can't stand it anymore. While Charlotte's kind and caring, he's rude and vulgar, while she's friendly and innocent, he's crass and mean, entering her life in a whirlwind of disaster. But no matter what he does or how he tries, he can't make her hate him.

So he does the next best thing.

He falls in love.
