Ever since he met Marc, Nathaniel lived solely for these moments spent together.

The boys became very close friends, keeping no secrets from each other and spending every free moment together.

They worked on various comics together; Marc wrote the stories and Nathaniel created the illustrations, proving they were a perfect match.

However, Nathaniel's parents were generally against same-sex relationships, and the fact that their son spent so much time with another boy, creating "stupid" comics together, bothered them.

The boys, however, maintained their close friendship; their closeness included tender gestures, quiet whispers, hugs, and once even a kiss.

However, they never spoke of it to each other, did not call themselves a couple, and their situationship slowly led to confusion.
