russell & elijah
champagne and sunshine #1
Sometimes, escaping the noise of the world is the only way to hear what your heart truly wants.
For Russell Wyatt Escalante, starting Senior High School means a fresh, quiet start. He's ready to focus on his studies... and being a womanizer, enjoying his independence, and staying away from unnecessary drama.
Everything seems perfect--until he met Elijah Joaquin Rafael, again.
They aren't exactly friends, but they aren't strangers either. Their parents have been best friends for years, so Russell and Elijah grew up seeing each other at family gathering. Yet somehow, they were always too shy to actually talk.
Now, they're stuck sharing the same room
Russell tries to set boundaries, but Elijah's easygoing charm and soft acoustic melodies make it difficult to keep his distance.
Between awkward late-night conversations and shared random thoughts, Russell begins to realize that maybe having a childhood strangers isn't such a bad thing after all.
