When a wild young boy moves in next door and brings fresh perspective to their life, will Perister find themself or lose themself because of him?

"Baby, running down to the riptide,
Take me away to the dark side,
I want to be your left hand man...
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat because
You're going to sing the words wrong."

     His singing soothed them, and their heart unclenched. It seemed his silky voice had more of an effect on them than they had originally thought. Their anxiety subsided when he was next to them, and they felt that all-too-familiar pounding of their heart, the thumping they've been trying so hard to ignore for so many years.

     "Eudai..." Their soft whisper was cut short as he leaned toward them.

A soft coming-of-age story of childhood friends developing a deep bond to last for the rest of their lives. This story focuses on the bond, friendship, and growing feelings between the two. Rated PG-13 for kiss scenes and references to puberty.
