Zak and Darryl were orphan boys until Zak gets adopted by the royal family. Zak promises to always remember Darryl and invite him around the castle. Darryl never got an invitation, though. Darryl gets adopted by kind, lower class family. Years later, the boys are teenagers. One day the whole village gets invited to Zak's 18th birthday. Darryl goes to reunite with his old friend, but somethings wrong.

Darryl and Zak HATE EACH OTHER. Zak bullies Darryl at school a lot. Until they meet each other online and become best friends. But little did they know who was actually behind each other's screens.

When is romance, friendship, loyalty, and drama. it only takes one breezy afternoon for two boy's lives, to change.. for better or worse. Will Zak rather strive to save his reputation, or pursue his new friend as a romantic interest? Follow zak, Vincent, Darryl, clay, Zelk, George, and many more to see in "When?" #98 in Minecraft!

(UPDATED JUNE 30 bc the story took a different direction over the 2 years I've been writing it o-o;) Skephalo and Sap6d fic taking place as a sequel to Midnight Birdsong. Very slowburn and also angsty but kinda hurt/comfort until closer to Chapter 59-ish where it becomes mostly hurt no comfort. Chapter titles are songs that relate to stuff/ foreshadow the story/ fit the chapter mood and there's a playlist with them called Twisted where I pick songs as I write chapters so you get a lil sneak peek before they're posted. *spoilers below* CW // violence, vomit, character in a temporary coma, (TBD) ~If anyone wants to make fanart of it for a cover, I'd love that :D

So this is my first time posting one of my stories so i hope you enjoy! I also have a TT so go follow that! TT:@technobladekicksorphans This will include: Small bits of smut Some TW's BLB/Boy love Boy(gay) And DSMP characters! :D POSSIBLY DISCONTINUED
