Drowning In You

"Don't tell me what to do," I huffed as I got off my chair. I walked towards him and pulled the apple from his hand before taking a bite.

"You look at me like you want me to tell you what to do."

"You're delusional."

He stared at me for a while. "And when I tell you what to do, you always do it."

I blushed. "Shut up."

Henry Young is an antisocial highschool student. Due to the death of his older brother, Nate, his fear of abandonment made him distance himself from others. He stayed low, only talked when necessary and never joined many social circles.

One day, a young man moves in with his family and despite Henry's anger, he can't seem to take his eyes off him. Because of Andre's outgoing nature, Henry is convinced that they're complete opposites and will never come to good terms with each other. But each moment they spend around each other keeps proving him wrong and maybe, just maybe, he doesn't see Andre as a brother figure.
