That urge came from from a feeling of emptiness because his parents are not as much involved in his life as he would want them to be. He thinks he is not enough for his parents or anyone in his life for that matter. That all changed on the first day of school when he met Marcus King who quickly became his best friend and taught him to not always rely on others opinions. Damian is hiding his feelings for Markus because of a promise that he made to his best friends brother, who he also has feelings for, that he'll try to wait for Jordan to be ready to come out, but Jordan hasn't made it easy for him to want to wait. Unfortunately both Markus and Jordan end up making huge mistakes that could permanently harm their relationship with Damian

"T- This is un- unprofessional." I choked out the words, but I wish I couldn't have. He brought his face closer, so close that I could feel his minty breath on my lips.
