Rufus is the drummer of his band The Pluto; Mateo is a hermit that knows little to nothing about Rufus or his band; However when they meet sparks fly They both die at the end (AU)

**ALL CHARACTERS BELONG TO ADAM SILVERA!!** (A fanfic for the book, "They Both Die At The End" for those who stumbled on this by accident. I really recommend reading the book and then coming back to this one!) In a world where death cast does not exist, and instead the two boys meet in a nice, lovely café in New York. (A Cafe AU, I just want my boys to be alive and happy please-) Two years ago on September 5th, 2017 Mateo Torrez died in a coma. His son also named Mateo Torrez was devastated. It's been two years since his father's death and now it's September 5th, 2019 and Mateo Torrez is now a 20 year old young adult, working part-time in a café. Whilst taking courses in a University nearby for game designing. Two years ago on September 5th, 2017 Rufus Emeterio at 1:05 AM was beating up Patrick "Peck" Gavin. After that him and his ex-girlfriend never really got on good terms again. Just ignoring each other's presence when nearby. It's been two years since then, and now Rufus Emeterio is a 19 year old young adult. Who is currently taking courses for photography and video editing in a nearby University. Sharing a dorm room with his two best friends Malcom Anthony and Tagoe Hayes. Three months from now, Rufus Emeterio will be turning 20 years old.

Rufus and Mateo start their relationship, Their on cloud ten and love every second of being together, Unfortunately that was cut very short

i loved this story so here's my contribution to the fandom. Suffer with me. Here's my boys in the afterlife

I loved this book, these are my head canons

Mateo is a Collage student he doesn't do much and mostly goes unnoticed; He goes to class, plays with his best friend daughter/ his goddaughter, and goes home to his dad and plays video games. Rufus works fulltime at Mateo's collage campus Starbucks and has dreams of being a photographer. These two are compete opposites but are brought together.
