After an incident that caused a major ruin in her career as a winning pageant beauty--it opened a sliver of hope for her--to flee from a place--a career that she was forced into. Her mother's never been nice, hopping onto one man to the next--she was the one well deserved of the title "whore" That's why--Ciara has sworn to herself she'll never be like her ma, no matter how identical people claimed they were--or no matter how much Ciara prayed and waited she'd change.

𝓡𝙊𝙍𝙔 𝙆𝘼𝙑𝘼𝙉𝘼𝙂𝙃 was born with a golden rugby ball in his hands. Expected by everyone to be like his da--talent was expected to be haywired into his function. And it was. The only problem is--with all the talent he has, he can't seem to handle the pressure. The crowds, the reporters, the news articles--he curses them to hell. Unlike most, Rory was very observant of his surroundings. Too observant that his hearing would constantly be blasted to the highest volume--triggering an immediate dislike of crowds. Though being a carbon copy of his father, Rory was downright the personality clone of his mother. Feeling everything and wanting to save the wrong people--Rory was a perfect brew of his parents.

Tadgh Lynch had a fractured past. Life hadn't been kind, and it took him until he was eleven to realise he could fight for something better. Starting at Tommen College in first year felt like stepping into another universe. Polished floors, towering ceilings, students who seemed born to belong. He didn't. Not then. Not now. Over time, he carved out a place for himself, slowly earning respect, slowly learning who he was. But the cracks in his mind, the remnants of his old life, never fully healed. He kept to the same group of friends, the same girls he messed around with, the same routines that kept him safe. And then Aidan Kelly arrived, and Tadgh's world quietly shifted. Aidan moved through life with precision and confidence, already knowing who he was and what he wanted. He carried himself with a certainty Tadgh couldn't yet understand, a knowledge of himself that made everything else feel... unfamiliar. Aidan had grown up under pressure, believing everything he did had to be flawless. Mistakes weren't allowed, nothing was ever enough. He didn't understand why his mind worked that way until he was diagnosed with OCD. Routines became his armor, loops his comfort. Then Tommen College offered him a scholarship, opening a world full of new faces, new expectations, and new opportunities. He had learned who he was long before he arrived. Tadgh, on the other hand, had no idea that the life he thought he knew could bend in a completely different direction. He didn't know he could feel for another boy until Aidan showed him it was possible, slowly turning everything Tadgh thought he understood about love and desire upside down.
