A ZooPhobia fic, Jack x Rusty, enemies to lovers. This is my first fic ever, so it might suck a bit. Post completion, I've decided that this is kinda shit. :) Jack and Rusty are both gay in this fic, but their orientation has never actually been confirmed in canon. TWs: Mentions of suicide, self-harm, and mental illnesses such as depression, and anxiety.

Rusty and Jack have been friends since they were little kids, becoming closer as each year passes. But this year is different. Rusty starts to feel strange around Jack, tingly, embarrassed, nervous, flustered. All year, he wonders if Jack feels the same. But during a hectic new school year, filled with bullying, harassment, and fighting, he doesn't have much time to focus on himself.
