   Summary

   When they met, it couldn't be clearer Boyfriend and Whitty didn't get along. But they'll learn to!

   Taking place after the headcanon of Boyfriend rap battling Updike for Whitty's life, this is a story about the bursting of comfort zone bubbles and the building of intimate community ones, of learning and growing, even after adulthood. From attaining more diverse friendships to strengthening a personal identity, life never stops throwing curveballs at this duo and beyond, so might as well have some fun along the journey~
