    Summary

    Charlie Spring has a bit of a… reputation at school. His friends are trying to convince him to have a positive attitude, start fresh, maybe get into a real relationship instead of “casual” hookups.

    What they don’t is why he chooses to stay away from relationships. Why he chooses to keep his distance from guys. Why he can’t just let go and trust. And for his own safety, can’t tell them either.

    Nick Nelson is a lighthearted, innocent, rugby lad who has recently come out at bisexual and has maybe taken an interest in Charlie regardless of what people say about him.

    Maybe he could change Charlie?
    Maybe Charlie could give him a chance?
    Or maybe they’re both kidding themselves.
