    Summary

    After his first year at UCLA, Wilson is going back to Georgetown Texas, his hometown. He is working at a boatshop for the summer, and his coworker there is no other than his childhood friend, Brando, with whom WIlson always had a strong and unique bond. When they were kids people said that they were "two ends of the same stick". While the both of them grew apart in the last few years, the circumstances of this summer lead them to being briefly in one another's life again, as old wounds reopen and a new kind of connection forms between the 2 boys...

    I want this fic to be as canon compliant ( the canon being the mv for this song, vodka cranberry and caramel music videos and some things cone mentions in his songs) as possible, so i'm trying to respect the timeline of the summer that conan has set !

    Before I start, I want to state that, while the character of Wilson is strongly inspired by what -as a conehead- i know of conan gray's life, this is by no means a conan gray fanfiction. It is a fic about the characters of brando and wilson, which conan introduced in the music video for this song. Just wanted to clarify that :)

    This will be kind of a long fic, I plan to update it like twice a week :)

    Summary

    Wil never imagined that sometimes love would not be enough to stay with his loved ones, but it wasn't when his heart ached for freedom, so it could be hard to not be himself outside the sea once he reached that freedom — and even harder to explain a fraction of what is freedom for someone who rather be a slave of their fears than be themselves.
    Or
    When Bran's best friend turns into his lover, then into the pirate he has got to arrest for the crown, he may be conflicted between what he ought to do and what his heart has been begging him for ages.

    Summary

    BASED OFF THE CHARACTERS IN CONAN GRAY'S "THIS SONG" MUSIC VIDEO!

    in which..

    Wilson, a quiet, art-obsessed boy returns to his dusty Texas hometown after a year away, still carrying the weight of all the things he never said to his best friend, who still calls him every week, still laughs like nothing's changed, and is the towns golden boy.

     

    or...

    Brando, a boy who's always been good at pretending starts to unravel when his best friend comes home looking older, softer, and somehow like every unsaid thing he's been trying not to think about, especially when he shows up wearing his jacket like it means something.

    Summary

    It's the summer after senior year, and everything is changing--especially for Wilson and Brando. They've always been inseparable. But as the long summer days stretch on, something between them begins to shift, and the lines of their friendship start to blur.

    They don't talk about it--not really. They pretend not to notice the lingering glances hidden between the laughter, the way Wilson's gaze lingers too long when he thinks Brando isn't looking. But Wilson feels it--in the brush of Brando's hand, in the silence that stretches between words. Neither of them knows if the other feels it too... or if saying it out loud would ruin the fragile harmony they share.

    A slow-burn summer romance about friendship, unspoken feelings, and discovering love where you least expected it.
