And yes, many great and, so called, timeless authors wrote of the novelty and insecurity that seeps through your chest as you experience your first love.

You're cowardly and I'm alone. You are in the right and I am in the wrong. Yet, here we are, both trapped. Both holding a secret that's too powerful to hold alone. My name is Mercury Hythe-Andrews, I'm seventeen-years-old boy, and I am a sinner. I won't tell you "I'm sorry". I won't be made out as a villain. I just want to feel. I want to feel alive. Will you feel alive with me? Warnings: Homophobia and swearing.
