    Summary

    This story is cross-posted on my AFF account username alottastuff.

    Mark is dating Jeno.
    Johnny is not gay.
    Johnny might possibly be falling for Mark.

    Mark and Johnny meet by happenstance of fate (Mark gets a job at the place Johnny works also). It's a quirky little bookshop/coffee shop with a cast of hilarious and diverse employees. Despite Mark's relationship with Jeno, he finds himself crushing on his new best friend Johnny. There's just one problem. As Johnny likes to remind everyone constantly he is #notgay.
    Between Mark's totally-not-abusive relationship with Jeno, his growing feelings for #notgay Johnny, and the antics of the rest of the employees, Mark and Johnny attempt to navigate their growing friendship and their own lives. Mark is hopeless, Johnny has secrets, and somehow Mark is starting to think that Johnny isn't as #notgay as he seems to claim.

    Update to the plot of this story. It got extremely out of hand and didn't go anywhere near where I had originally planned. I'm adding this disclaimer so that you can read at your own risk because this story covers some hard topics and has views that some might find offensive. And it does not have a happy ending.
