  Summary

  (Title inspired by the song of the same name by Florence Road!)

  Charlie Dalton doesn't know how to do anything other than pine for his best friend, Knox Overstreet: a straight, family-oriented, hopeless romantic. What he doesn't know is that Knox is going through his own pining, whether he likes or not, or tries to hide it.
