Dead Without Dustin (Boy×Boy)

Mitchell is creative, melodramatic, quiet, emo and... virtually alone. His mother is aweful to him, his father is far away and all his friends are gone. First day of sophomore year, Mitchell believes that this year will be the same as the rest, until, while hiding from bullies he hears a voice. The voice of a guy that will shatter his world, the voice of a guy that will change him forever, the voice of the guy who is keeping a secret. Dustin North.

★ I start to turn around to go give Mom her damn sandwich. Then bang I go flying through the air. Pain shoots through my legs, arms and then something like a giant rock hits my shoulder, my body twists in midair. Suddenly cold knives shoot through my body as I hit the water. Bright lights start flashing. Bang. Bang. Bang. They start to dim, turning a greyish color, darkness starts to creep around the edges of my vision, the lights are getting farther and farther away. The last thing I remember are warm arms wrapping around me... ★

Little does Mitchell know, his seemingly ordinary town is about to get a whole lot fishyer and a whole lot more deadly.
