⋅ ̊+‧ OVERVIEW ‧+ ̊ ⋅

Life was never kind to Darren. Born into a shitty family, endured every classic form of abuse from an alcoholic father, barely remembered his mother... His school life was a complete swamp of terrible memories and even worse grades, ending with him being held back a year in high school. Losing a fight with three meatheads just minutes ago was a cherry on top.

Pathetic, really.

And yet, Darren was smiling. Because right now he was standing on your doorstep, and the thought of your hands on his bruised skin warmed his soul through all the misery.
