Alex and Miles have known each other for a few years and since the first time they've met at school they hated each other. After they finish school it seems as if they won't ever meet again because Miles moved to a different city to work in a big company, plus why would he even like to meet Alex again? Unfortunately, Miles has to go back to Sheffield after he gets fired. Where will he go now? Will Alex and Miles ever meet again?

Miles believed he did somewhat of a good job at hiding his feelings from himself; no matter what his heart told him his brain kept pushing them away. It worked for a while. But his feelings kept creeping up on him, drowning him. The only thing keeping him afloat was his own mind, telling him that it would never work out, that Alex would never like him the way he did. His feelings were getting progressively harder to manage. The days since before they met seemed to all blur into one. Every bad thing that had happened, every worry that was bothering him seemed to dissipate once Alex entered his life, it's as if the sky itself became more radiant. Miles spent many restless nights thinking about Alex, wondering that perhaps maybe, his feelings were reciprocated. It was the casual gestures he would make that made him hopeful; brushing against his shoulder, the hand holding, the hugs that lasted a little too long, for god's sake even the way he smiled at him felt different.
