In the glittering halls of Ouran Academy, where wealth is measured in generations and lunch costs more than most people's weekly groceries, Akihito Nakamura is surviving on spite, energy drinks, and four hours of sleep. A scholarship student from a world of convenience store shifts and carefully hidden bruises, he's mastered the art of appearing fine while quietly falling apart. Armed with impeccable manners, a secret stuffed bear named Mr. Crimson, and an impressive collection of terrible coping mechanisms, Akihito has exactly one goal: keep his head down, maintain his grades, and get through each day without anyone discovering the truth about his life outside Ouran's ivory gates. But when a certain overly-enthusiastic Host Club King decides that Akihito would make the perfect addition to their ranks, and a quiet, observant vice-president starts noticing the things Akihito desperately tries to hide, surviving Ouran becomes exponentially more complicated. Also, there are rose petals. So many rose petals.

"One of my favorite tropes is someone who believes they're hard to love and someone who loves them like it's breathing." TW: Mentions of suicide and abuse Forest Gray is what everyone would describe as a golden boy; perfect grades, the star of the football team, and a damn good friend. He is rich and good looking; he has it all. Except the one thing he's wanted his whole life, his parents love and acceptance. They are never home, yet they hold a protective barrier around him no matter what. They even own the school he goes to. Forest is to do and be who they say, and he's never been one to disobey or displease anyone, except for when he falls in love with the one boy who's able to break his parents spell. Atlas Hart is different from most people, because most people don't skip school and disappear for days or even weeks at a time. But most people don't have his intense emotions and outbursts of anger, or a broken family, or looked at as the outcast of the school. When Forest meets Atlas, he can't believe he's never noticed someone so perfect for him, and Atlas just can't believe someone like Forest is even talking to him. They fall helplessly in love, creating a bump in the plan Forest's parents laid out for his life before he was even born. Follows the struggles of falling in love with someone you're not supposed to and coming to terms with it while facing obstacles like family and friendship complications in which the characters have to overcome.
