Chocolate Kisses [ManxBoy]

"...and when one of them meets the other half, the actual half of himself, whether he be a lover of youth or a lover of another sort, the pair are lost in an amazement of love and friendship and intimacy and one will not be out of the other's sight, as I may say, even for a moment..." - Plato,The Symposium.

Adrian, 21, and openly gay runs the best confectionery in whole of Salisbury. The shop being passed to his hands after the untimely death of his grandfather when he was only 19. Since then, Adrian has transformed the shop into a place of fun and relaxation. Despite all this, he still feels as if he's missing something in life. He longs to feel the arms of that special someone who would hold him each night and whisper sweet nothings into his ears. Someone who will hold him when the going gets tough. But as luck would have it, he hasn't met a single man yet who would fulfill those criteria. That is, until he literally bumps into his new neighbor and his world tilts on its axis. Now Adrian would do anything to have the man of his dreams. There is just one tiny little (Oops! Did I say tiny? My bad, I meant HUGE!!!!) problem : The said man is straight as a pole and has a 8 year old child from his previous marriage.

David, 36, has turned into a bitter, un-trusting man after his wife of 11 years left him for another man. Now he gives all his love and care to his 8 years old son, Caleb. So when his only aunt passes away and names him the sole heir of her estate in Salisbury, he does not think twice before leaving his old dreary life behind to start anew with his son. What he does not count on is his sweet neighbor with eyes as brown as the chocolate he makes, to pursue him.

Can Adrian heal David's heart and make him fall in love again? Can David let go of his past and face his demons head-on?
Will Caleb accept Adrian in place of his mother?
