At seventeen, Errol Aitken realised he's in love with Alasdair Bailey. But living in a small Scottish village surrounded by prejudice, bigotry, and homophobia, he made the decision to hide his love and remain with the unknowing Alasdair as his best friend. Eight years later, he's still in love, and Alasdair's still oblivious of it. Though he is hurting, Errol keeps telling himself it's enough as long as he gets to be by Alasdair's side. As long as Alasdair is happy. But how much pain and longing can Errol take until he's reached his limit? Especially when their dynamic is tested as Alasdair gets into a relationship. ----- Mature rated due to: Sexual fantasies and mastrubation (though it's all rather non-explicit).
