What happens when the boy known for fighting everyone and anyone starts to fight for you?
What happens when the artist who hides behind his masterpieces, starts to see you on his canvases?
Gray and Axel meet by chance, unaware of the tidal waves they are causing in the other's life. Both stuck in their own lives, cold and always alone, they begin to find warmth with each other. Their hands keep finding their ways to each other- behind closed doors, in the dark, under the table. Once their walls start to crack, there's no going back and there's no pretending it means nothing.

"Don't- don't touch me like that," he breathed out.
I blinked at him.
Is he angry? In pain?
"Like what?"
"fucking...gently," he seethed.
"Why?" I peered at him, pressing my hand to his other cheek. I just needed him to look at me. I didn't care if it was wrong.
"Because I'll... I'll fucking break," he barked, lips trembling under his confession.

❝I know you love God or whatever, but I want to do the most unholy things to you.❞
Small towns harbor two types of people: those that live and die within the confines of it, and those that get the hell out while they can.
Hudson is one of the lucky few with the means to pack his bags and run as fast as he can once he graduates high school. Although he can't quite cut ties with his family and leave his past in the past, he can take advantage of a fresh start in the city that never sleeps: New York City. College is a chance for Hudson to find out who he really is--and who he wants to be. He's a good boy with a religious knack and a girlfriend back home who doesn't mind that he's saving himself for marriage.
His deepest secret that he likes men is neither new nor surprising, more so downright despicable. Damnable, even.
When he meets Zane, an eccentric friend of his roommate, his entire earth is turned on its axis and the life he thought he wanted vanishes. Zane opens his eyes to a world of freedom full of lust and sin.
And for the love of all things holy, he likes it.
