[BxB] Waking up next to someone after having a little too much to drink was no new, riveting story in this day and age. Waking up next to another boy, when you were also a boy, was a little more interesting, but still nothing to write home about. But waking up in Nico Beckett's sheets? To Wesley, it was a nightmare come to life. ~~~ Wesley Dillon's life was uneventful, and frankly, he liked it that way. He didn't get into trouble, he kept his grades up, he played it safe. He never did anything to rock the boat he was floating in, the calm waters of his lake left undisturbed. Now starting his last year in high school, Wes was content to continue living his life as he always has - but sometimes, and only sometimes, he caught himself wishing that something could make ripples in his tiny world. What he wasn't ready for were the waves that were Nico Beckett - a troublemaker, womaniser, and an incredibly popular boy at his school. He was everything Wes was not. Nico was the type of guy that Wes never wanted to associate with, but after waking up in his arms with panic in his chest and pains everywhere else, he realised that his life was going to get much, much more complicated. It took him everything to try not to drown as the waves pulled him further and further down. But, somewhere along the way, he wasn't sure that drowning was actually a bad thing. ~~~ #1 in romance (29/09/19) #1 in LGBT (07/09/2019) #1 in bxb (07/09/2019) #1 in boyxboy (08/09/2019) #1 in gay (11/09/2019) #1 in highschool (29/09/19) #1 in school (17/10/19) #1 in comingofage (01/10/19) #1 in slowburn (02/10/19) #1 in BL (04/10/19) #1 in lovetriangle (05/10/19) #1 in family (31/10/19) #1 in comingoutofthecloset (08/01/20) #1 in writtenwithpride (19/06/21) #4 in love (07/03/21)

"When I think back on it, I don't think about the cameras or the tapes; it all bleeds into one another. It felt like we forgot we were shooting a movie." Timothée Chalamet | Call Me By Your Name (2017), actor "So he [Timothée] finished his piano lesson, and then the two of us jumped on bicycles. He'd been in Crema for weeks at this point. So we got on the bicycles and he showed me around the whole town. And we rode and we went to different restaurants, different gelatrias, like, all the stuff. And it was incredibly analogous to what happened in the movie. I was the new guy in town, and he showed me around. And I fell in love with just, like, you know...Timmy. I mean, it was amazing. It was an amazing experience..." Armie Hammer | Call Me By Your Name (2017), actor "It is not only making a story about the characters that he's depicting, but...also making a sort of documentary on the actors who are playing their characters. I tried to do that as well. But not in an obstructive or sneaky way. I am very open. But I am not gonna be happy and I am not gonna give up until I see a complete surrender from the performers to the camera in order for the camera to be able to make both the storytelling and the X-ray of who they are... So when we got that, we got these great performances and got this invisible force that is the intimacy between Timothée-uh, uh, Elio and Oliver." Luca Guadagnino | Call Me By Your Name (2017), director #1 - charmie | March 10, 2022
