Hair Dye and Fireflies

In the summer of 1994, 19 year old pastor's son Aaron Wright had lived in his small religious town all his life. In such a town, there was no room for differences. And so, he fit in to survive, with any nonconformity pushed deep down, any hint of his queerness hidden under lock and key.

When a new family moves in right next door, he meets 18 year old Felix Gray, a confident, outspoken, and very proudly queer person. For reasons unknown, they took a liking to Aaron and stuck by his side, resulting in a journey neither of them expected to have together.
