Sean's life goals are to live a simple life, in a simple apartment, probably with another simple person. He knows who that simple person might be, but that simple person doesn't. Somehow Sean wants to show that "simple person" what he has in store. Who knows, maybe this simple person might be everything Sean was looking for; or maybe he will be the exact opposite. Either way Sean wants to prove his metal to Jess, also known as "simple person," and see if he can handle this quirky, awkward, weeb infested, kind of lame, dorky, cute junior boy and all his shenanigans. Simple Right?
Warning: Contains lots of casual cussing, sexual references, violent situations, heterosexual and homosexual relationships, suggested themes, and probably bad grammar choices.
Billy Miller is not gay. He's not even sure he's anything at all because he doesn't like people. But that's alright. His parents, his fish and his clingy neighbor he can't quite get rid of since middle school are enough for him. For now.

Billy is a Junior in high school and he likes to think he's pretty cool. He enjoys making lists and he adores animals. He doesn't bother people and people don't bother him back, at least that's what he would expect. Until, as he hides in a closet at a party he was forcefully dragged in, he witnesses two boys french-kissing in there. One of them is Tavish McCloud. The other, it doesn't matter.
Billy's mind spins and spins. Tavish is a perplexing hot mess that Billy doesn't know much about. His only choice is to make a list.
- He knows his name is pronounced as Thomas.
- He knows he's tall and handsome.
- He knows he's Scottish.
- He knows he's a senior with two grade retentions.
- He knows he partakes in a crazy amount of lifting competitions.
- He knows he has won a crazy amount of lifting competitions as well.
- He knows he might enter the Olympics in a few years; everyone has been talking about it at school.
- He knows he's hotheaded; everyone talks about it too, but behind closed doors.
- He knows he has fucking nice hands.
And, what he doesn't know yet but he's about to learn soon, Tavish can be annoying as fuck when he makes pestering you his life mission.

Somebody's in the closet.
Somebody hasn't even had the courage nor the will to step into the closet.
That makes for a pretty neat love story.
