Troye and Connor are both highschool seniors, they live next to each other and their parents are good friends. This is why they are forced to go on a camping trip together, and of course they get to share a tent. Troye, however, can't come to a lot of activities because he has really bad migraine. Connor sees this as a perfect opportunity to skip hiking with his family so he stays back to take care of Troye. Both boys start to acknowledge that they really aren't as different as they thought and they start to enjoy each other's company, more than they would have initially wanted. But when Troye's not at school the next day their whole world turns upside down. - Eventual smut, no trigger warnings, does contain swear language. - <3

Troye is the stereotypical bad ass who always gets himself into trouble, never listens to the rules, and has no friends (Other than Hannah Hart). Hannah usually tries to stop Troye, but fails and just ends up joining him in his mischief anyways. Nobody can break Troye. That is, until he meets Connor, who discovers that Troye is all an act, and he's truly an emotional, caring guy who puts up walls to create a Bad Boy Persona. ☀

If you had told Connor about Troye six months ago, he would've wholeheartedly disbelieved and denied it. If you had told him about how he would fall hopelessly in love with a boy and everything would be different after, he would've simply laughed in your face. Isn't it funny how things change?!

Troye and Connor have a running feud. Growing up together; you'd think the two boys would have an everlasting friendship, unable to break the bond between them... but that's the exact opposite. Troye and Connor absolutely hate each other; and everyone knows that. Everyone except their families. So what happens when Troye's family has to fly back to Australia to take care of a sick family member? Troye has to live with the Franta's for a month or two. Which means whenever he's around Connor's family, he has to act like he's friends with Connor. But soon it isn't an act, soon both boy's start to actually be nice, but why?

Troye Mellet is not popular. He's middle class in the teenage hierarchy and the head of the bitter kids. Cocky "populars" and superficial teens are his enemies, and high-school society his hell. But, behind the social ruse that is his hatred, there is a deep sadness. Loneliness; bottled and festering into complete misery. Connor Franta is popular, and he is weighed down by that label. He's the shyest one of his group, the vulnerable one, the easiest one to tease. Terrified of losing his "friends," even with their constant bullying, Connor's life is a whirlwind of anxiety. He's miserable, but the idea of sitting alone at lunch shakes him to his core. When a group of underdog teachers notice their unfortunate similarities, these seemingly polar opposites are brought together. Both boys find life-altering answers, love and comfort within a person they've been trained to hate. After all, since when did the truest kind of love care about status? TW: self-harm, eating disorders, talk of suicide, gun violence, smoking. (Nothing to the extent of a mature content filter)
