A bully x bullied BL about pride, chaos, and falling for the last person you should.
Deacon Beauregard is rich, powerful, and raised to believe cruelty is just "honesty."
As the heir to a massive industrial empire, he rules his school the same way he's been taught to rule the world: by enforcing hierarchy, humiliating "problem" students, and never questioning himself.
Cassias has nothing.
No money, no patience for authority, and no tolerance for bullies-especially Deacon, who's made his life hell under the guise of "keeping people in line."
When a school field trip forces them to share a hotel room, the unthinkable happens:
they talk.
What starts as a full-scale war turns into an uneasy truce, then something far more dangerous-understanding. As Deacon's worldview begins to crack, Cassias is faced with an impossible question: what happens when your bully actually changes?
