High school is a roller coaster of emotions for everyone. Especially for Sal Vulcano and Brian Quinn. Having secret love for one another is bad enough, but one day in detention their relationship is put to the true test. Things are tense and awkward after that day and their friendship is seriously on the line. They do everything they can to move past it, but will it be enough?

Is Brian Quinn capable of love? Of course he is, steamy love! Or...is he? What if someone has feelings for him; the person he would least expect? What if someone else is fighting just as hard to be loved by the famous BQ? THEN what happens to his supposed "steamy love"? Especially when it's literally the worst time in his life to have to deal with this. Okay, I'm a HUGE IJ fan; especially when it comes to Q. Sal's my second favorite joker. I've read a lot about them, watched the show, and listened to a ton of podcasts. That being said, I'm sure I'll get something about them wrong at some points, so feel free to tell me these things if/when I do. Also, I don't have an exact story line for this, so ideas are welcome. If you'd like, I'll give you a shout out if you give me an idea that turns out to be a major plot point in the story. Also this story does contain MATURE content! And it's unedited, but I like to think I have decent grammar anyways. Thanks and enjoy! :)

*Note: If you have not read "Steamy Love", go do that right now. This is a sequel to that and you will be very lost if you skip it.* We come back to where we left off with our favorite joker ship, Brian Quinn and Sal Vulcano. It was just revealed to us by Faith Redmond that she is pregnant with Brian's child due to the two of them being forced into sex by her malicious abuser and manager, Simon Williams. Neither of them know what it takes to raise a kid, especially since they're not even a couple. And, of course, having Faith around at all brings out Sal's jealous side once more, and this puts a lot of strain on his and Brian's relationship. That's without adding a baby into the mix. Read on to find out how the two of them find out the true meaning of "tough love".

When one died the other becomes distraught over it.
