David Charleson, a scholarship student from middle of nowhere Nebraska. Pierce Nolan, the southern gentleman with the pristine image to uphold. What happens when the previously invisible David has to help out swim team captain Pierce? The path of the straight and narrow ends up more twisted than they bargained for as they try to figure out how the other fits into their lives. Disclaimer: Lots of cussing in this story, it's about college students, you have been warned. This story will be a slow-burn strangers to friends to lovers. This is a story that involves discovery of sexuality and the influences that religion and politics have on relationships, specifically those between members of the same gender. There will be smut involved, I will put disclaimers at the starts of the chapters.
