They Might Never Kiss

Life isn't so enjoyable and this can be seen from two points of view.
From Asher and William.
Two men who can agree with this statement.
Asher is ready to fight for what he wants to become or have, as this is the prime thing he learned in life. Coming from a poor family, being also an only child, he never had someone to talk to or tell his problems, so his single solution to escape from reality is writing in a journal every little inconvenience of his life. He knew from a young age that you can't be poor and have your parents by your side at the same time. But he liked to spend time with William, his childhood friend whose family worked with asher's parents. Unfortunately, as they were growing up, they realized who they have become and decided to stop the connection, but can this happen when feelings are more powerful than any opinion, valuable object, or money?
Can they pass any obstacles that a royal family can put in the way?
Can they change people the same way people changed them?
Can they make the sea blue or are they forced to drown in the same gray water they have already been in their whole life?
