One day in December, Reggie shares a moment with a shaggy haired boy at a bus stop. He’s convinced he has fallen in love.
He is so enamored by the beautiful stranger that he spends the next twelve months searching for ‘Bus Boy’ religiously.
And then finally, one day, there he is. Standing before him as beautiful and enrapturing as he was the first time Reggie saw him. With a timid smile and an outstretched hand, he is mesmerizing, he is ethereal, he is everything Reggie dreamed he would be.
But even in his wildest fantasies, they never met like this. With Alex standing between them, his hand delicately placed on Bus Boy’s shoulder, uttering words that make Reggie’s entire body freeze.
“Reggie, meet Luke, my boyfriend.”

For as long as he could remember there had only been one drive inside Luke, and that was music. It’s the reason he skips school to write songs. It’s the reason he’d busk, even for empty streets. It’s the reason he works for his uncle Caleb, wiping down tables at the Orpheum while he dreams of the day he’ll be front and center under the spotlight instead of behind the concessions.
Luke felt as long as he had music, he never needed anything else. When he saw people his age hanging out on the beach, going to parties, dating; he never felt like he was missing out. That was until one foggy day in December, when Luke saw him.
His flustered rosy cheeks, slicked back hair and cool leather jacket. Luke is frozen, his heart palpitating. It had always been Luke and music, never feeling like he needed anyone else but when their gazes meet, Luke wonders if this boy could be someone who can understand him.
Luke’s confused, excited and maybe a little bit fixated. All he wants is to see him again. But Luke’s got to learn to be careful what he wishes for.
OR five times Luke tries to find the place he belongs in the world and the one time he figures, this must be the place.

Recommended by @molinapattersons: There are two works in this series: One Day In December (Reggie's POV) and This Must Be The Place (Luke's POV). Reggie and Luke meet for the first time at a bus stop. It’s love at first sight for Reggie– but it’s definitely not that simple.
