Benjamin A. Morris.
A for a fucking animal.
Or always fucking annoyed.
Or-
"Shut up, Ben."
•
It's unnecessarily weird living in the middle.
Middle state, middle child, middle man.
Keeping the peace was supposed to be his job. But when loyalties blur and emotions spiral, Ben realizes being the middle man isn't neutral-it's everything. And sometimes, it means breaking apart to find where you truly belong. Sharp, chaotic, and vulnerable, Us, is about friendship, desire, and the terrifying beauty of living in the in-between.
It's a mind fuck.
But it's us.
Fuck- Them!

"I don't like being in the middle."
He laughs, throws his head back like it's something I said in jest. "Shut up, Ben."
"It's true!"
"It's the only place you know to be." He jokes. "You've always been the middle man. Starting center." It feels less like a joke when he says. "Heart."
Like it's genuine.
"Paul's his heart."
