Harry is a soon-to-be eighteen years old, he's struggling and he's trying his best to figure his life out. He doesn't know what to do, he doesn't know what is the right thing to do, he lives a life that someone else has built for him. Or at least he thinks so.
Louis is a family friend, he's twenty-seven and he's not happy with his life, his past choices, his job. It has started to fit him a little too tightly. He doesn't have the guts to let it go and pursue his dreams, though. He's scared of failing.
So is Harry.
So what happens when these two lost souls meet? Will they find their way home or will they fail and fade away?

@Lily_pad6472 asked me to write a story where Harry and Louis both are single parents and neighbors.
After his wife passed away Louis took his three kids and moved to London to get away. One day he gets a new neighbor, someone with a baby who cries nonstop. He can't have that. The paper-thin walls make it hard for his kids to sleep when that baby won't stop crying. He knocks on the neighbor's door, just to be met by the most gorgeous man he has ever laid eyes on.
Purely fictional. Smut warning!
