Colin Hunt, a vivacious and outspoken art student, is a comic-reading, anime-loving, all-around geek. What he lacks in size, he most definitely makes up for in personality. But things have been tough for him lately. A heavy workload. A showcase to prepare for his final. A sick mother to take care of. Ever the optimist, he's more interested in finding someone to have some fun with rather than finding anyone serious. For Dexter Erikson, life has been difficult ever since an accident left him in foster care and cost him part of his arm. After discovering music therapy, he found an outlet for his pain and the perfect way to express himself. Now, sporting tattoos and piercings, Dexter is the lead singer of a pretty kick-ass punk rock band and owns the stage like it's nobody's business. He’s also goofy and dorky, shy and bashful, with a bad habit of falling in love yet a horrible fear of commitment. So what happens when vivacious geek meets shy punk rocker? The first answer is a lot of sex. The second answer might bring both Colin and Dexter to places they never dreamed possible.

Rock and Roll Chose Me

Hours later, Colin, still hunched over his desk, rubbed his eyes under his glasses. They’d really started to strain. Even to hurt from all the work he’d been putting them through. His back and shoulders ached, too. What he wouldn’t give to have Dexter there right now to rub them for him.


A breath caught in his lungs when he took note of the time. Already after two in the morning and he still wasn’t satisfied with this last piece. He wanted to go over the three that were still here with him, he was still hungry, his body strained with exhaustion. He had no idea how he’d get through this and survive.


The answer? He’s wasn’t. This would be his downfall. Colin was doomed. This wasn’t even a joke anymore. Tears filled his eyes. He dropped his glasses onto the desk and tried to wipe them away. They just kept coming anyway. One by one like bullets to his heart.
