You know where it's at, CASHBY MAYNE (;

Homophobia and two boys kissing. (Austin Carlile + Alan Ashby)

Alan Ashby is 17 years old, he was born and raised in California, San Jose to be exact. He works at the local pet shop (mainly to spend his time with the cats, but the pay helps) Austin Carlile is 18 years old and being forced to move 2,000 miles away from his friends with his mom. A new state, new school and new friends, he's never been good at making friends and he can already feel the anxiety rising in his chest. But what happens when he meets over happy, friendly and very gay, Alan?

"I'm sick, Alan, really sick." Sometimes when you think it's the end, it's only the beginning. Austin thought he could save me, but in giving me everything, he ruined me. Because after one kiss, one touch, I couldn't - I wouldn't ever be the same. Especially since in the end, he won't be here. College sucks, specifically if you're, depressed, dying and in love.

Austin, a guy who Alan had fallen for the minute he stepped foot into that high school. Looks can be deceiving. Austin has a past of violence and confusion while Alan has a dark past of harm. Oil and water don't mix but Austin is trying to make it while Alan is on a ship bound to sink.

Alan is beginning his first year of college along side three very different roommates. A story of love, loss, and realizing that sometimes it's okay to let things go. [Austlan Cashby]

Austin and Alan are a happy couple with their life on track, but something changes. (sequal to The Ginger And The Giant, read here: http://www.wattpad.com/story/17844683-the-ginger-and-the-giant-cashby-fanfic )
