*Work in progress, 2025* It was dark. He was drunk. It never should have happened Nineteen-year-old Luke may have pined over his best friend, Caleb, for the last few years, but he always thought Caleb wasn't interested. Until the night of the party, when he drank himself stupid to ignore his breaking heart, and he woke up in bed, alone, with the memory of what they'd done. In the days that follow, Luke grows more and more frustrated. Caleb only ever alludes to that night in indirect ways, and Luke can't understand why. He wants to talk to Caleb about it, but it's nearly impossible, especially when Caleb's busy smiling down at his phone. When tension between them finally hits its breaking point, Luke learns a devastating secret, one that Caleb hadn't even known he'd been keeping. Because the boy Luke slept with at the party? It wasn't Caleb. Twenty-one years old, still living at home and working nights as a shelf stocker at the local grocery store, Connor is Caleb's older brother. Quiet and watchful, he studies people and tries to act like them, but something is always missing. Like being the last to hear the punchline. He goes through his days by following a routine and avoiding other people. It's not always easy with a social butterfly for a brother. He hadn't meant to lie. Hadn't even known he was lying until after. But by then, it was too late. He knew he couldn't tell the truth or he'd risk hurting those around him. Two versions of that night happened, but only one can be true.

"Between friends, unspoken feelings can feel like a fragile thread pulled taut; one denies its existence while the other hides behind its delicate weave, both yearning for the courage to unravel what lies beneath." Ian and Julian, long-time best friends, find themselves in a complicated situation following a wildly inebriated, somewhat unconventional evening, which disrupts their lives. An awkward situation arises! To complicate matters, Julian poured out his emotions that night, only to later dismiss it as an error. Typical melodrama, wouldn't you say? However, Ian possesses an exceptional memory. While Julian hastily dismisses the incident, Ian's keen recollection paints a different picture. He senses Julian's insincerity and detects a discrepancy. Ian isn't one to evade unresolved issues, preferring to confront them head-on. As they deal with the fallout of their actions, conflicting perspectives, and clashes in temperament, emotions run high. The situation intensifies as they confront their feelings, leading to revelations about family secrets and youthful indiscretions. Layers upon layers of undisclosed information, intertwined with a sprinkle of adolescent recklessness and folly. Fleeing and Feeling is a captivating coming-of-age tale of love, secrets, and the often absurd journey of young adulthood, reminding us that sometimes even the messiest of situations lead to the most honest answers. @Mature.
