Drowning In You

Henry held his lip between his teeth, contemplating. "Even though we kissed, it doesn't mean I have feelings for you," he said softly. I let out a small laugh. "I understand." "I still despise you," he added, not backing down. "I've heard that before," I replied, not wanting to escalate the tension. Henry hesitated, then added, "And if we吻彼此 again, my feelings won't change – I still don't like you." --- Henry Young, a high school student who preferred solitude, struggled with deep-seated fears after losing his older brother, Nate. His fear of abandonment had led him to isolate himself, limiting his interactions and avoiding group activities. He lived a quiet life, speaking only when necessary. Enter Andre, a new addition to their household. Despite Henry's initial resentment, he found himself inexplicably drawn to the charismatic young man. Their contrasting personalities – Henry's introversion versus Andre's outgoing nature – seemed to make a unlikely friendship seem impossible. However, every shared moment revealed that maybe, just maybe, Henry was beginning to see Andre in a different light, one that went beyond a sibling-like bond.
