Taking jobs from other people for unreasonably high prices in a probably illegal way? Alexander Hamilton knew how to navigate that. Taking care of younger siblings without any real parent to rely on? Thomas Jefferson knew how to navigate that. Dealing with an arrogant roommate with some self-important mindsets? Both of them could at least tolerate that. Falling in love was the thing neither of them knew how to handle. ((COVER WAS MADE BY @ THOTMASJEFFERSON))

After four years with the abusive boyfriend he's known all of his life, Thomas is finally ready to give up. He can no longer take the suffering he's forced through every single day, the things he endures simply because it's what's expected of him.
