After a messy divorce between Texas native Wilson's parents, his mom packs up and moves them to Austin to go live with her wealthy parents. The next summer however, his dad claims he's sober and ready to start a new relationship with his son so Wilson makes the move to spend the summer back home in Georgetown. When his old best friend Brando shows up at his window the first night he's back Wilson remembers just what made it so hard to leave in the first place. After a year apart will their friendship stay just as strong? Or become something new entirely? Inspired by Conan Gray's upcoming Wishbone album. Has little bits and pieces from all his albums and songs though.

Wilson and Brando, two characters from "This Song" by Conan Gray. Will feels a lot and Bran overthinks a lot. Most of it is just thoughts - deep thoughts - that cross their minds while they slowly realise and accept what they're really feeling: love. (written by a young girl that's never experienced it ♡)

A story about leaving, returning, and everything you almost said. Wilson Webber never meant to come back to Laredo. Not after last summer, not after the postcards, and definitely not after the goodbye that wasn't really a goodbye. But now he's back, older, quieter, wearing Brando Copeland's old brown jacket like a dare. Brando's still the golden boy of their nowhere Texas town, baseball trophies, perfect girlfriend, and a heart full of secrets he's been pretending don't matter. Until Wilson shows up and everything he buried starts clawing its way out. Between late-night bonfires, crumbling friendships, mixtapes that say too much, and a summer that tastes like dust and maybe-love, the past refuses to stay gone. Because sometimes the hardest thing isn't leaving, it's coming home to the person you used to be.

"Hey Bran?" "Yeah, Will?" "what's with all the...wishbones?" "i guess i have a lot of wishes." "yeah but...doesn't it make you..a little bit..sad?" "why?" "because someone always gets the Short End Of The Stick."

Based off of Will & Bran from Conan Gray's music video for 'This Song'. They were best friends that never wanted to admit their feelings for each other. Wil's parents were heavily religious and believed if you were queer that it was a straight-ticket to hell. Will and Bran used to believe this, that there was something wrong with them even if they wanted each other so badly, to be each other's so badly. Until the week before summer ended, a week before Will left, the longing became too much to bear.

An adaption of Conan Gray's story, Wishbone. After 9 months of not talking to Brando, Wilson decides to come back to his hometown for the summer after receiving an interesting postcard in the mail... Will his feelings for Bran rekindle or will they be what they were always meant to be, friends. But who knows... maybe Bran has some secrets of his own.
