{Story description}
A young college boy named River wakes up in a hospital bed, unknowing of how or when he got there. Little does he know, he was saved by Aster, a taller guy in the same grade but a year older. Aster has a crush on River but has never said anything. Aster admired River's dark but beautiful art, his quieter and more relaxed nature rather than the loud and obnoxious college fraternity boys, his love for dystopian books and his obsession with reading, his shoulder length wavy black hair and so much more.
After the whole hospital bed situation, they start becoming close friends and talk more and more. The more they get to know each other, the more River opens up about his bad home environment, his mental state, and what happened on the roof before landing in the hospital.

[Disclaimer!: None of the art/images shown is mine unless i specify that a certain image is! I will most likely be taking the images off google and therefore will probably not be able to credit the artist properly! If any of the art/images I show happen to be yours, please feel free to ask me to take it down if requested! Thank you for reading!]
