Scout's Honor

They've always been the other's constant. Their goals, only ever meant to align with the other's. The main necessity in their friendship: to be whatever type of support - whenever needed - for every circumstance life may throw their way.

So, considering the weight of their bond and the travesties of life, they made a spoken promise. A promise to never cross the line into romance, for fear it would shatter their rare connection.

Until one night.

Fueled by countless frustrations and failures in the dating world, they decide to explore something new. . . An arrangement meant to be harmless. . . a seemingly safe way to relieve any left over tension from the tumultuous cycles amidst life and dating.

Rather, this might very well be the thing that breaks every promise. Whether they be spoken or unspoken, oaths are struck down one by one. Everything meant to protect the once-unshakable foundation of their bond, soon left in the shadows - as more than they ever expected is brought to light.
