Nico has come to accept that his life is different than others'. He knows he will die young, not even sure if he is gonna make it to become an adult or not. In other words he's slowly drowning and one day he won't be able to come up for air. In other words he made a stupid deal to live for just a month more and is already regretting it not even five minutes after. In other words he's a coward. In other words he's afraid to die. But how can you be afraid to die when it's the one thing that will bring your loved ones some closure? Matteo just woke up and let's just say that last night's events were outside his control even when he had been doing so good for so long. Diagnosed with depression was not something he was ready to hear and not something that he's ready to accept yet, but knowing that things had already taken a turn for the darkest, he knows that the chemical state of his brain isn't as it should and now he can't protect those he loves. Things are hard and scary and living a life where he has always been the protector and never the protected he finds himself vulnerable at the mercy of his illness. Can the two boys stand for each other when their meeting is the sole good thing that has happened to them or will they draw their last breaths sooner than what should've been? So... big TWs here, look at the author note for specifics.

| teacher x student | wxw | slow burn | When 19-year-old Lena James enters English Literature class, she expects nothing special. Instead, she meets Ms. Sinclair her cold, sharp-tongued British literature teacher. Elegant, cutting, and unbearably superior. From the very first lesson, the 34-year-old woman seems to take pleasure in dismantling Lena's every opinion with cruel precision. Lena hates her. She hates the condescending red marks on her essays, the raised eyebrow that makes her feel small, and the way Ms. Sinclair lingers in her thoughts long after class ends. But hate this intense has a way of twisting into something far more dangerous. With a strict 15-year age gap and an unbreakable teacher-student boundary, their slow-burning tension threatens to break every rule both in literature and in real life. Some lessons aren't taught kindly. And some hatreds taste too much like desire. "Ms. Sinclair's Secret"
