"Let's enjoy each others' company. You're fit; you're young; you're a bloody doctor. You've got everything going for you." There's a moment of hesitation before Louis plants a gentle kiss atop Harry's head. "I'll be whatever you want me to be as long as we're having fun, yeah?"

Drunk, loose, and excited on the first night of his two-week-long cruise, Doctor Harry Styles finds himself with a little extra company on what has turned out to be a lonely experience. Louis, the pilot who helped fly him across the Atlantic, is the object of his fling.
Thus begins an adventure filled with laughter, sun, and trauma rearing its ugly head. Deadline on their companionship, the pair commit to enjoying their time - and Harry, the screw-up he is, can't help but lose himself in the fantasy.
