   Summary

   Lewis has a job at a record store. He used to be an alcoholic, he self-harms regularly. He is in love with his best friend Dick. He doesn’t want to confess, as he feels like he doesn’t deserve someone like Dick.

   Dick works at the library, reading stories for children and getting yelled at when someone has to pay a fine for the book that they turned in late. He loves his best friend Lew more than anything, but he is too scared to confess as he doesn’t want to ruin their friendship if Lew doesn’t feel the same way.

   As the days go on, Dick notices Lew becoming more distant and afraid. What will happen when he finds out just how much Lew is suffering?
