One night while Theodore Decker, a 15 year old boy who's mom died in a tradgic bombing accident, is hanging out with Boris, a 16 year old ukrainian boy with mixed accent. That night, Theo gets drunk and too high. Theo accidentally confesses his feelings for Boris that night. Boris, who wasn't as drunk or high as Theo, (surprisingly) just thinks Theo is drunk and is being weird but he starts to think about what Theo said when he was drunk every night.
