a story in which fem!Awsten meets punk!Geoff and just so happens to be in need of a new skirt -------- ©️ All Rights Reserved: 2017/2018 @dizzyotto

in which awsten doesn't know how to be proper

Awsten Knight is a loud-mouthed asshole who wears skirts, seemingly couldn't give a fuck, and can pack a goddamn punch. Geoff Wigington is a fairly reserved punk kid who although has been through some shit, still manages to shut up and sit tight - unless of course, you're being an annoying prick. The first time the two collide isn't the meet-cute that everyone in teen movies dream of, involving an extra-large slurpee, a pleated skirt and a giant bruise. However, instead of the original choice to just ignore and push past it, they're forcibly re-acquainted through a class project that accounts for 20% of their grade. Maybe overtime they would mutually agree that one another isn't so bad - or maybe they wouldn't.

Geoff's an inexperienced lifeguard with a deep, dark secret he doesn't dare tell his friends: he's gayer than Neil Patrick Harris riding Nyan Cat's rainbow dick through the sky while making out with hot shirtless alien men. Awsten's a model on hiatus who hasn't worn short sleeves since November. One chance encounter at the Houston Community Pool could mean absolutely nothing...or it could change their lives forever. Given that this is a gay fanfic written by a queer hormonal teenage boy, the second option is more likely. If you need anything tagged as triggering, tell me.
