Protected and labeled innocent all his life, Leo Bennett is sick of it. Everyone around him treats him like a kid, even his friends. He has called plenty of boys cute before, but the moment he points out the tattooed boy across the hall, everyone panics.
They tell him Seth Evans is bad news. That he smokes, beats people up, and ruins peoples' lives.
All of it? Rumors.
And Leo hates rumors more than anything.
So, ignoring everyone's warnings, he decides to learn about the cute and intimidating boy himself.
Seth Evans has run with the wrong crowd for a long time, and until recently, he never had any reason to get straight. Not until he met Leo Bennett - a cute and courageous boy with dark blue hair, and the only person who isn't scared of him. Leo doesn't want him to change for anyone else, only for himself.
What starts as curiosity turns into something deeper than either of them expects. As rumors spread, lines are crossed, and the future inches closer, Leo and Seth find themselves choosing each other in a world that keeps trying to pull them apart.
