Mike and Chester have been split up and with other people for many years now. How will they be able to control the teen they have together with everything else they have going on? What happens when their friendship turns into more than a friendship again?

Chester finally gets to meet his favorite artist, Fort Minor A.K.A Mike Shinoda. Chester thinks he's in love but knows nothing can happen between them. What he doesn't know is that Mike can't get him out of his head either.

For Chester and his golden retriever Sunny, life is loud, chaotic, and full of anxiety. For Mike and his german shepherd Tank, it's quiet, calm, and orderly. Their worlds are turned upside down when their dogs begin a fierce, devoted romance, leaving the two humans to stumble through an awkward friendship that feels more and more like it's heading somewhere wonderful.

Mike's world is one of quiet, boring order. A predictable refuge from his past that shatters when his best friend, Joe, drags him into the one place he vowed to avoid: the spotlight. Thrust into a lavish community theater production, Mike is forced into a relentless and infuriatingly captivating rehearsal with his co-star, Chester. He must decide if the greatest performance of his life will be on the stage, or in finally admitting that the role he never wanted has led him to what he's been missing out on.

Chester is dealing with past issues. Does he need help or will he make it on his own? **My first story in English. It has some grammar issues, as well as some inconsistencies, but mostly due to the theme I will not re-write it. It isn't a sample of my writing style as it is now, but it is part of my journey**

Nothing is what you think it is. Listen. Think. See for yourselves. I only deliver the message. It is up to you to hear it. To believe. He deserves more.
