In 2010, Y/N is used to keeping his head down—quiet, withdrawn, and an easy target for whispers and teasing. Most days blur together until a simple accident changes everything. After colliding with a skateboarder on his walk home, Y/N expects another cruel encounter. Instead, he meets Ashton Graves—a gentle, unexpectedly protective boy who treats him with a kindness he isn’t used to. What starts as a small moment of concern slowly becomes something more, as Y/N begins to realize that not everyone is meant to hurt him.
