He comes around. // WARNING//: THIS FANFIC WILL INCLUDE TALKING AND DESCRIBING SELF-HARM, DEPRESSION AND SUICIDE/CHARACTER DEATH.

Perfect place for a budding painter like Lance McClain, who voted to leave his family in Cuba behind to become more independent.

"The last thing Adam needed today was to run straight into somebody. So, naturally, that is what he did." Adam, a new teacher at the Garrison, has too much paperwork and a tendency to not watch where he's walking. So, that's how he ended up spilling coffee all over some guy's shirt. Also, as he seems to have the worst luck, that new guy just so happens to be his roommate. His very attractive roommate.
