When abused and misused 4th grade Dan Howell meets northern newbie Phil Lester, will they befriend? And could their friendship be the only thing that keeps them from falling apart? (read introduction for more info-original story)

"The less you care, the happier you are." He turned to face me, his blue eyes dull with traces of betrayal. "No. The less you care, the lonelier you are." - In a world where people have the ability to flip an emotions switch, many people lack feelings and sympathy in general- including Dan Howell after a tragedy strikes and he can't take it. However, he meets Phil Lester, the outgoing flirt with too big of a heart to handle. The two become close, and Dan soon realizes that even with his switch off, he can't deny that Phil is slowly reaching to turn it back on, and Dan can't seem to push his hand away.

Phil Lester is strong, protective, and dominant. Daniel is his dependent, clingy, sweet little prince.
