Nuriel is an eighteen-year-old senior in high school. Together with his friends Noah, Lucian and Caden, he has formed a band. He yearns for some change in his life, though he wouldn't know what; he gets what he wishes for when he meets Jerah, who turns his life upside down and makes his heart and brain contradict each other. Will he ever give in to what his feelings tell him, or will he allow his senses to deny them forever?

Sing For Me

I don't want to see his face. I don't want to hear his reaction. Being trapped here leaves me with little choice, though. I hide my face in my hands. 


"Don't do that," Jerah says, "show me your expression." I feel him grab my wrists, tugging at them softly. 


I look up to find the softest, happiest expression I have ever seen on him. His eyes are sparkling, the most honest smile on his face. 


He moves his hands to my own. "I love you, with every atom of my being, from the moment I met you. Please be mine," he continues softly, clutching them tightly. 


This seems surreal, more like a dream. "Huh?" 


For a few seconds, I wait for him to start laughing, something to show it's a joke. But he doesn't. "Yes?" While it would normally take days for me to process stuff like this, I quickly find myself too happy to care. "Yes!" 


I let go of his hands so I can fling my arms around him, absolutely ecstatic. I bury my face in his neck, as I can't help but smile as bright as I possibly can.
