Nate and Lyle keep meeting in the cafe. Nate thinks Lyle is an arrogant douche, Lyle thinks Nate is a spoiled trust fund kid. Yet something keeps pulling them together, this howl of something dark in them, and they keep meeting in the cafe again and again. See how they grow together as they battle disappointment with dating lives, family drama, failed expectations and grief. It's a fanfic based on 'Nate and Lyle' by Alejandro Zwartendijk (@alijhali) on TikTok but it can be read without knowing the source material. Watch the show on Alejandro's TikTok and follow the author, Bells, on their social media @seriobells. It'll be 7 chapters in total and will contain spicy scenes in later chapters.
