    Summary

    Some people spend their lives searching for the right person.

    Vincent finds his when he's ten years old.

    Unfortunately, Alastor is twenty-five.

    Some loves arrive suddenly. Others settle quietly into your life and refuse to leave.

    Years pass. The world grows larger, filled with new people, new places, and countless opportunities to move on. Yet somehow, every road seems to lead back to the little house beneath the magnolia tree.

    Vincent still isn't entirely sure when admiration became affection, or when affection became something he couldn't seem to outgrow.

    All he knows is that some things remain stubbornly constant.

    Like summer evenings.

    Like magnolia trees.

    Like Alastor.

    Tldr:
    Vincent never quite learns how to stop loving the man next door.
    Vincent grows up. Alastor finally looks.
