They had lots of differences which provoked plenty bickering. TW: alcohol abuse, domestic abuse, self destructiveness, in/external homophobia, addiction, ableist/homophobic slurs, death, suicidal tendencies, sexual assault, possibly sexual mentions? [A/N: i really dislike writing smut so there will be little to none of that, this is basically just an angsty slow burn story :p]
