Toby Wentworth's life is a clusterfuck. For a lot of reasons. And one of them just happens to be the fact that he is very gay, and also so far in the closet that he's practically in Narnia. But then there's this guy. This guy in his calculus class who winks at him. And suddenly, they're partners for a project. And Toby cannot stop thinking about him. Toby does his best to balance school, work, relationships, and the biggest secret he's ever kept as life goes on. He does, honestly. He tries so very hard. But things like drama, bizarre coincidences, and, of course, his crippling tendency to overthink have been making it difficult, and it's really not fair. But Toby just cannot stop thinking about that boy. And there are times when he wants to hate himself because of it. Sometimes, Toby's life sucks. He'll admit it. But as aggravating as the feeling of being just out of reach of a romance he desperately craves is, there's something... thrilling about it. Something that, no matter how many times he tries, cannot get him to stop this madness. He's in trouble. Absolutely. But maybe trouble can have its benefits. *** cover art by me!

Until Xen Rathore, his father's business partner's son - sorry, his obnoxious son - offers to tutor him.

Nolan Reyes has the perfect image: varsity captain, social media star, always smiling. But underneath the jerseys and highlight reels, his anxiety claws at everything - especially his own reflection. Wyatt Ford doesn't care about high school fame. He's got books to read, muscles to build, and grief tucked away where no one can reach it. That is, until he stumbles across Nolan mid-panic, and everything changes. One touch. One breath. One chance at being seen. From hidden panic attacks to quiet late nights in someone else's sweatshirt, Nolan and Wyatt begin to rewrite what it means to be safe - and what it takes to finally come home to yourself.

"It felt almost...depressing, having one person dictate all I was feeling. Though it was one I've always had, and one I couldn't resist. Like a moth to a flame. Everyone knows it'll harm the moth, but the moth, simply, does not care." In a small town, we follow the lives of two individuals. Steven, raised by an authoritarian father, and a timid mother. While James is raised with a neglectful mother and an absent father. They trek down the halls of fragmented memories of their past friendship that was ripped away from them alongside the security they used to give each other. Navigating their voyage of feelings on if they want something more or if they just crave nostalgic comfort while dealing with the turmoils of home? They venture through shattered dreams of what could've been, constantly haunting them...all while pushing each other away out of fear. Will they be able to rekindle what has been lost, or will it forever be a downward spiral of heartbreak and betrayal of oneself and others? A testament of resilience that binds us all and makes us human. That even in our darkest moments, the essence of who we are lies in our struggles and our hopes. Humanity isn't meant to be viewed in black or white. Rather an array of reflective shades...some buried deeper than one wants to realize.
