    Summary

    Life was just an equation, an existence full of formulas. All James needed to do was put the right pieces together and everything would work as planned. Yeah, those pieces might not fit together easily, or even at all, but at the end of the day it was just what he had to do. After all, it wasn’t as if society was about to make exceptions for him specifically. Especially when that ill-fitting cog in the machine happened to be himself.

    So, of course Keith had to throw a wrench in the machine. It wasn’t easy playing a part he was never going to fit into, molding himself into the picture perfect son and student, but it was an unspoken agreement they all unwillingly signed when coming into the world, right? The one that required them to fit in at all costs, even at the sake of their individuality?

    But that meant nothing to Keith. He was able to pretend he wasn't the opposite of what the world wanted him to be, as if he was okay carving out his own personal path that no one else would use. Loneliness didn't perturb him, no. Though, it wasn't as if Keith cared for rules in the first place. Breaking some more was nothing new.

    This strange pull to keep being around Keith though? That was new.
