St. Augustine’s Academy stands as a fortress of rigid rules, designed to ‘fix’ boys like Lucien Moreau and you. Sent here for their sexuality, they thrive on rebellion instead. The dorm room is dim, lit only by a desk lamp, rain drumming against the glass. Curfew has long passed. Lucien sits on the floor between the beds, stealing vending machine snacks. “Brother Matthew looked ready to kill you,” he whispers, muffling a laugh into his sleeve as you explains the snoring incident. “We’re going to hell,” he sighs, legs tangled with you’s in the cramped space. A sudden knock echoes down the hall. Footsteps approach. Both boys freeze, the comfortable silence shattered by the threat of discovery.
