second lead in a series falls for the first lead, who is already in a relationship....except he's not. not with the person everyone thinks he is, anyway. as the second lead gets to know more about them, he discovers who the first lead is actually with and falls again but this time for the entire relationship, not just one of the people involved. he learns that unrequited love doesn't have to be messy or misery.
this is a boy's love romance. there is little to no spice. i am writing this to break away from stereotypes, not feed into them. if you like asexual romance, pronouns switching mid sentence for someone who uses them all, hand holding, good friendships, and something completely unique, please give my lil story a try <3
this story is being written to the tune of thunderstorms and tony ann's exceptional piano music.
Elliot's partner was his whole world, but after Allan's death, his ghost haunts Elliot's dreams. Everyone tells Elliot to move on, but he isn't sure he can.
*****
It's been a year since the love of Elliot's life, Allan, passed away. Everyone thinks he should have recovered after that much time, but Allan still haunts Elliot every night. He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart. But the question Elliot has to face chases him through his monotonous days: is mourning Allan with everything he has truly living?
