STILES AND HUGO STARTED OUT AS JUST REGULAR CHILDHOOD BEST FRIENDS — BRILLIANT, NAIVE, AND HIGHLY DORKY BOYS WHO RECOGNISED THE SAME TRAITS OF THEMSELVES REFLECTING RIGHT BACK AT THEM THROUGH ONE ANOTHER. A shared experience of adrenaline, near-death experiences caused by supernatural happenings brought them closer than ever over the years; maybe even closer than originally intended. But when Hugo's dad saw the unrelenting currents of obsession, and fascination intensify between the two boys, he was quick to shut all chance of a longly desired relationship between the two of them.

However, both Stiles and Hugo couldn't put out their feelings out like a doused fire. It was never that simple — sometimes they wish it was. And, after a late night of partying somehow ended with Stiles Stilinski's alcohol-stained lips resting on Hugo O'Dell's, the two boys knew running the risk of loving each other in secret was worth it.

Two years later, and every little thing between the two boys had been going right — besides almost dying from the supernatural take in their life and the occasional couple fight, of course. Their jump to test the charged ground between them had been worth it . . . or so they had originally thought.

To say Arthur O'Dell was furious when he found out about his son's secret love life would be too great of an understatement given the circumstances. He thought he had burned the bridge of homosexuality a long, long time ago for his son, but I guess his warnings had not been enough to wade off whatever had gotten into the young lad.

So, for the summer, Hugo's father sent him to boot camp. It wasn't a camp that tackled the topic of love and preference of gender, thankfully. No. It was just a regular, all boys, boot camp . . . a camp Hugo was not pleased to had gone to needless to say.

No matter how many drills he ran, no matter how "manly" he dressed, no matter how many callisthenics he did, — pull-ups, push-ups, lunges, crunches, you name it — his feelings for the Stilinski boy hadn't wavered and still reigned true upon his return to Beacon Hills.

Yet, the trip did give the young O'Dell boy something to take back with him. Harsh realities. He wasn't the son his father wanted him to be, and — because he wasn't — he feared he never would be one with his dreams and desires; for he challenged every little belief his father had in life.

Hugo wanted to be a singer, and he knew he liked boys . . . two things Arthur O'Dell never understood even before his son discovered it for his own self.

Sure, singing wasn't exactly considered a stable job, but Hugo had never felt so strongly about a career path. It was a lifelong dream of his, something always telling him that if he didn't at least chase after; he would regret it.

So, Hugo tried his best to follow his heart; trying not to let his father's opinions sway him too much. He quickly found performing and writing music to be a coping mechanism, getting lost in the world whenever he strummed his guitar and a gentle melody started to flow from his lips. Sadly, there were only a few places Hugo felt truly at ease when taking part in his hobby; those places being at School, in the little practice room in the music department, the pack's houses, and Stiles Stilinski's house.

Little by little, day by day, the music sheets became more than just an escape: they became love letters. Love letters where Hugo could voice — or sing, more like — about the feelings he was forbidden to feel. Behind the written words, was a message only himself and the boy who they were written for could understand.

Sadly, the time Stiles would come to realise that was at a time too late . . . or maybe not?

For each boy is unprepared for the consequences of their attraction, when, during their final run of being high school students, Stiles Stilinski's wish for a supernatural quest is granted — just not in the way he would've originally liked, perhaps.

Because, he never would've expected that threat to be the Ghost Riders. And he most definitely didn't expect to forget the boy who he deemed unforgettable to him.

Through the unrelenting currents of chaos, Stiles and Hugo are left with a feeling of emptiness and hopelessness due to the thick walls between them; dividing them from being remembered and being forgotten. All happiness is gone, and both fear they may never retrieve what is lost.

Thankfully, there is always music. Since the early ages of time, there has always been music. And, if Stiles uses his detective brain to look closely into the mysterious sheets of paper he stumbled across filled to the brim with rainless bliss . . . he may just uncover a memory that just desperately wants to be remembered . . . and come back home.
