From second grade onward, Zak Ahmed blows out the same candle every day.
When he finds himself living with strangers, he seems unlikely to ever wish on another candle again.
He does not realize how hopeless and lonely he is until he meets Darryl, a neighborhood boy who captures his heart.
In a matter of seconds, Zak finds himself back where he started: unsure of the things he thought he wanted, because they may be not all that he needs.

new perspective
in zak's imagination, anything was possible. even without a huge load of money standing beside his name, he found his own way of buying to happiness. zak's mindset was simple. he would live the way he wanted, act the way he wanted, and love whoever he wanted. he simply lived his own life the way he wanted to. it was a smooth rhythm and the chain had never been interrupted. that was until a converse wearing brunette boy from across the street thought - even with a charming smile and a terribly faked personality - that zak wasn't who he tried to be. 🏆 - #1 skephalo; january 12th 2020Complete

drowning in violet - skephalo
skephalo art school au in which darryl has synesthesia ! (featuring many semi-philosophical metaphors for the stars) word count: 11.5k there was a boy with caramel brown hair and chocolate eyes that turned a light shade of tawny in the sun. he had long fingers that seemed to lay steady whenever he talked or wrote. there was a boy with dark eyes full of light who never came to class without his booming laugh and wore light blue hoodies that hid his tan skin. he was blue. he was the feeling of a clear sky on a january's day and the icy chill of a blizzard. the rush of a wave on a peaceful beach. his name was zak, and darryl had found himself falling head first into the misfortune that happened to be falling in love with someone who had a personality brighter than the stars above them. #1 in skephalo - 06/18/20 - 06/21/20 #1 in mcyt - 07/21/20 - 07/25/20 DISCLAIMER: skeppy and badboyhalo are real people and their characters belong to the creators respectively. this work is purely fictional and does not reflect the actual lives/behaviors of any person mentioned themselves. enjoy the story! :-)Complete
