My father types a command into the laptop, and he jerks upright with a shudder and a wheeze. Compressed air flowed beneath silicone skin, triggering actuators that raised his arms and lift the corners of his mouth into a demure smile. He seemed to compose himself, eyes panning the room where he stood fixed to the platform-tubes and wires running down to his ankles. He blinks, lashes casting beautiful shadows over royal blue eyes. And I fell in love with someone that was just a little human

Brody Nelson is the king of his school, he has girls swooning over him, guys wanting to be him for just a day and a girlfriend everybody wishes they had. He hates his life. He lives a lie every day, putting on a mask for his friends and even family. Except for his sister Zoey. She’s the only one who knows the real him and sees what he does to change himself at school. It hurts her to see her brother change the way he is for some people, but there's nothing she can do… She knows Brody’s biggest fear is to lose his reputation though he will not admit it thinking nothing of it. But when he meets someone he’s willing to change for his fears become greater as he knows he must come out to the world. He knows his friends won’t accept him for being gay.

Bubba "Gumball" Prince was perfectly happy keeping his life hidden. Which, needless to say, meant hiding himself from all of his friends. Or what he wanted to consider his friends. Sure, all he had to do was smile. Like what he was always taught. "Just smile! Even if it's fake darling!" the woman would chirp, staring at him. "Just one fake smile after another! It makes everything better." Marshall Lee, on the other hand, did not believe in such things. It was either real, or you don't feel at all. He was always taught looks get you everything and everywhere. Of course he would think that. He had it all, money, popularity, girls and guys throwing themselves at him left, right, and center. But one can only get tired after living almost 6years of just meaningless one night stands, and who wouldn't crave a little bit of pink happiness in their life? Together, they seem like the oddest couple of guys, if even given the privilege to be considered of the male gender, but what happens when after a string of unfortunate events turns their weird, queer, love-hate relationship, into just that? An actual relationship. Read on and find out, yo! (*author gets hit because he shouldn't say yo, cause it's unprofessional.* UNPROFESSIONAL MY BUTTOCKS MISS'/MISTERS! No one cares, right? I'm gonna shut the fluck up now haha haha xD The cover was made by my lovely @Goodbye_Imaginary, also, this thing is Donnneeeeee! Completed~ finnetto! C; )
