Ash Mercer has built a reputation as the tough, untouchable guy who keeps his distance from everyone, but a rainy night outside a formal party changes everything when he meets Micah Hayes - a clumsy, soft-spoken outsider who seems to stumble through life with an open heart. What begins as a chance encounter grows into a series of unexpected meetings in cafés, on late-night walks, and in the quiet corners of the city, where sarcasm and shyness slowly turn into playful banter, trust, and something neither of them expected. As their bond deepens, both are forced to confront feelings they don't quite know how to name: Ash, terrified of being vulnerable, and Micah, unsure if someone like him could ever be truly loved. Through misunderstandings, laughter, and the ache of almost losing each other, they discover that love can be messy, tender, and worth every risk. Their story unfolds as a bittersweet yet heartwarming slow burn - two imperfect young men learning that sometimes the person who catches you when you fall is exactly the one you were meant to find.
"Theo. If I'm not mistaken? Isn't this yours?" He extended a hand, holding my penguin printed handkerchief. My eyes couldn't have gotten so wide. I quickly swiped it out of his grasp.
"Ah, t-thank you." I stuttered before walking away and out of the school, but before I did, I heard a deep chuckle behind me that I guessed was from Hunter.
