Elliot Everett Adler is everything his parents want him to be: a straight-A student, a soccer star, and the perfect son of a highly respected priest and a devout teacher. But beneath his polished exterior lies a storm of secrets and desires that could shatter the life his parents have so carefully built for him.

As Elliot navigates the treacherous waters of high school, he finds himself drawn to Asher Rhodes Carson, the one guy he's supposed to despise. Asher is everything Elliot isn't-cocky, carefree, and unafraid to be himself. But as their rivalry turns into something much deeper, Elliot is forced to confront the truth he's been hiding from everyone, including himself.

In a world where appearances are everything and conformity is law, Elliot must decide whether to follow the path laid out for him or to take a risk that could change his life forever. With his family's expectations weighing him down and his own desires pulling him in a different direction, Elliot stands at the edge of seventeen, where the choices he makes will define who he really is.

"How close do you want me?" [boyxboy] "I want to feel your skin against mine." College art student Jamison Parker struggles with getting close to anyone after trauma crippled his ability to reach out and connect with others both physically and emotionally. More interested in nature than people, he keeps his head down and tries to get through each day without giving up entirely. Classmate Elliot Astor is a trust funder that can't buy his way out of grief and secrets of his own. Spending his nights partying with his friends to forget, he drifts through days with little interest in chasing anything but the next distraction. After a chance meeting, they find themselves drawn increasingly close together, pushing the boundaries of their heartache and histories, and fighting for a future neither dared to envision. current word count: 182,677 -------- • typically one update every two weeks with long chapters (some of which are broken into parts for ease of reading) • I'm a very dialogue-heavy writer :) • this is a genuine slow burn ***Read with caution*** This story includes mature 18+ content and themes such as explicit sexual content, suicide, self-harm, abuse, violence, trauma, drug use, mental illness, death, extreme homophobia, slurs, cursing, etc. There is no SA though
