Everybody at Fairview High knew that Kyle Konstantinov, the school's biggest flirt, and Nath Santos-Rodriguez, the football team's wide receiver and biggest mystery, were close. It was almost odd, the stark comparison between the bouncy, friendly junior and the tall, brooding senior. On paper, it shouldn't have worked. But something in Kyle evened out something in Nath, and despite having nothing in common, their personalities mixed like peanut butter and jelly. No one quite knows exactly how or when they came to be, but soon they became a well known concept, as if they had somehow merged the idea of one another into their own presence. They didn't have a label for whatever they were, they just were. Until one day, they weren't. Nath and Kyle aren't high schoolers anymore. They're in their twenties, secure in their lives, put their past behind them. Neither of them have talked to eachother since that day, both convincing themselves that there's no other option - not with betrayal that big, secrets that hidden, lies that oppressive. But by either a devious twist of fate or a stroke of second-chance luck, the universe decides to bring them back together. The paradox only begs the question: can something so strong ever truly be snuffed out? Or is a spark only ever going to light into flame?
