Leo receives the news, "You only have a few months to live." In order to escape from the reality that is bound to haunt him soon, he decides to take the biggest leap to travel around the world. Upon his first trip, he bumps into this annoying guy named Xander Torres, his temporary tour guide turned into travel buddy. As he walks through his final days, he discovers that adventures can assume different forms; it may be through the historical constructs, the calmness of the sea, the ever-vast mountains, the clear blue sky above them, or perhaps the most significant of them all-Xander, the person who slowly becomes his home. Unfortunately, Leo learns about that a little too late.

After fainting in elementary school, Noah Roman was forever banned from human contact. Still able to attend school, though he has to wear a mask, gloves, and not show a single part of his body, Noah was perfectly fine with it. Living with content Noah never cared about how others thought nor he would never experience a true relationship. Casted outside of the world, Noah grew fond of his illness, but like seasons, it changed. Moving away from his home state to California, Dominic Storm wasn't exactly fond of the new place. Researching cases of Mysophobia, Dominic begins to care less and less about his schooling and life. Without knowing, Dominic invades Noah's safety bubble, stirring up trouble for Noah and himself. Avoiding, pushing and hiding couldn't separate these two no matter how hard either tried. Does Noah finally see the pain of no longer having the ability to touch? And why does Dominic care so much for Mysophobia?
