[boyxboy] [complete*] [unedited] "You poor arrogant boy- keep hoping, you'll get nowhere." Alexei is drowning and he's having a hard time staying afloat by himself. With a disappearing mother, unsympathetic social workers and hungry police not far off his trail he is running out of ways to keep going. He's desperate to find a foothold that will propel him into a secure future. Maybe joining one of the most infamous high school rugby teams in the states was a bad idea but with one foot already in the door and a ragtag rich kid team dragging him with them Alexei finds too late that he can't turn back. **** #69 in #rugby as of 11/17/19 if you know what I mean Completed March 15, 2020 * to my standards, you'll hate the ending so don't come at me when you've finished. this is your warning don't complain later when you chose not to listen
