Take my heart
While Adryan and Darren fight over a girl and other issues, Connor and Caesar sit and watch. In times like these, it's easy to feel like side characters, and Connor's had quite enough of it. The cheapest way to be the main character of a story is, usually, a romance. Caesar tells him as much: find someone, fall in love, and make it complicated. "Bro. I should fall in love with you." "How would that be complicated?" It's only natural--if one were to fall, the other would just follow, no question or agreement needed. (Unrequited Love Series Part II)Complete
