Summary
Todd Anderson is drowning. Not literally, but he is drowning. Drowning in expectations he can never meet. Drowning in his brother's shadow even while that brother is trying to keep him from sinking past saving.
Neil Perry is also, not literally, drowning in the things expected of him. Med school and a doctor, when all he wants to do is act and his friends are desprately trying to keep him afloat.
They're both drowning, the same body of water but world's apart.
And when they meet someday in the future, it'll all be okay.

Summary
Prologue
No one would see this note, Neil was already dead; but he wrote it, anyway. In his mind, at least. He always had an extraordinary imagination, Todd Anderson was fuel to the flame that was his creative mind. It was a shame it didn't last long. This note came soon after they met, only having been friends a few months.

Summary
"Thank you..."
Neil smiled, his breathing just a little uneven from the adrenaline, eyes roaming over the other boy's features, who didn't answered right away.
"Don't mention it"
The stranger sat down on the floor, his back leaning against the gunwale as he covered his face and let out another heavy sigh. Neil just grinned, sitting down next to him and nudging his shoulder to draw his attention back, making the other boy almost jump in surprise. There was a brief moment of silence in which Neil just stared at the other boy's eyes, the amused grin from before softening ever so slightly. After a few beats of silence, Neil finally spoke up.
"What's your name?"
He watched the other boy's face contort in a grimace, half confusion half amusement, probably due to the bizarreness of the situation. Neil had been about to commit suicide just seconds ago, after all.
"Todd Anderson"
Or a seventeen-year-old Neil Perry falls in love with a kind poet who's penniless, Todd Anderson, aboard the luxurious, ill-fated RMS Titanic.

Summary
The fall was over. No longer was the wind warm, but it was real and harsh. I was so, so, sick. Everything seemed to spin around me. I love him, I had thought.
My tin box of poetry, words so terrifyingly sick that I could not keep them in my notebook, felt like the cause. It was me, I was just too fucking sick. He knows, he knows everything, and now he’s gone.
I began to not regret the words I had written, but to instead regret that I never acted on them. November still makes me think of his hair, the way it smelled like bar soap and linen. I never said it.
My tin box was a box of confessions. My confession now is that looking inside today, I only miss him more.--
Nearly three years after Neil is pulled out of Welton, Todd still can't forget him.
