"Both born into respectable households, the earlier years of their lives held little worries of the world. Unaware, oblivious, and therefore, perfectly happy. "
Barely emerging from adolescence, Charles and Viviane are married to one another for reasons beyond love or devotion. Money, social class, societal expectations, maybe. It isn't until after their vows have been sealed and fates set in stone do they start to delve into one another, discovering both faults and fortunes, and dive into themselves to find the same thing. Upon realising a secret that resonates in both of them, an agreement is formed. An acceptance and understanding. A lavender marriage.
✨ "Well, I think it's a shame you're not gay." Leo said eventually. Calvin turned to him.

Leo is an introvert by heart. He doesn't like talking with strangers, or most people, for that matter. But when he is assigned a shy science project partner, Calvin, the two seem to hit it off. Friendship had always been hard for both of them- but not with each other. Except when that friendship quickly develops into something more, and one pair of parents objects extremely. That's the hard part. Both heartbroken, they eventually split their separate ways, and Leo does something he may regret forever. And may not want to ever, ever tell Calvin.
