Joekit Stories

When Nick Nelson transfers schools, he expects new classes, new people, maybe a fresh start. He does not expect Charlie Spring. Charlie is quiet, strange, and keeps his distance like he's afraid of something. He never eats lunch. He never gets cold. And sometimes, when Nick is close, Charlie looks like he's fighting something inside himself. Charlie has survived centuries by following rules: don't get attached, don't lose control, and never fall in love with a human. Nick doesn't know the rules. Nick doesn't know what Charlie is. But he knows how Charlie makes him feel - safe, seen, chosen. Some love stories begin with a kiss. This one begins with a heartbeat that shouldn't exist... and ends with a choice that changes everything.
