Blurb: They were rivals before they were anything else-constantly at odds, pushing each other to be better, stronger, smarter. But one fateful summer changed everything. A whirlwind of stolen moments and unspoken promises tied them together forever, forcing them into a life they never imagined. Now, years later, tragedy has left their bond fractured and their hearts in pieces. When an unexpected encounter brings them face to face again, old emotions resurface-but so do the secrets that tore them apart. Some scars never fade, and some stories are far from over.

*WARNINGS* - There's light discussion about suicide - Mike cheats but not on the FMC - Exhibition - Drugs - Con-dub-con - Domestic violence (very mild but in case it triggers someone) ---------------------- Also keep in mind this Mike is NOT like 45mins Mike. This story is a enemys to lovers, we get a lot of Etienne and bromance moments and as the title of the fic says....there is a LOT of fighting. As always, english is not my first language so hit me up if you see any typos. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoy writing it.
