"you know this stuff is for girls, right?" "fuck off dude." - lol ryan buys scented hand sanitizer and brendon makes irrelevant remarks because he's a werid little shit. !DISCLAIMER! i wrote this book before i educated myself on transgender rights and such so this book is slightly cisnormative and i'm sorry.

"you think youre smarter than me with all your bad poetry." brendon was popular and did reckless things, like any normal rebellious teenager. partied often and bad douche friends. ryan was a smart kid with high grades. avoided drugs and alcohol and had nice friends. so when the two become friends, it's quickly a toxic mix.

"I wish I could see space in everyone's eyes." Ryan loves space. Ryan loves the sun, moon, galaxy and everything that has to do with night. He's different, maybe that's why Brendon likes him because he sees the world through different eyes.

Ryan works at a LGBT support hotline. He isn't enthusiastic about it at all. Brendon is a closeted gay kid who has no one to talk to. What are the odds of their connection through their phone calls? TW// homophobic slurs ((maybe)) cover by @mi_cro_wave
