The Slow Burn of Luca Haas

Summary:

Missing luggage. MLH Draft. Apartment Hunting. Gay bars. Brand Deals. All before he turned 20. BF?!?
Luca Haas needs a break.break.break.

Notes:

If you've made it here. Hello. If you're at all like me you're eating up the texting and social media fics.

I read a fic about the Queer HABSs group chat and a character named Archie that was a model and Luca's boyfriend. And then I started sprinting. So thanks for that.

If you haven't read friends in high places and the accompanying series yet. Please do it's super fun!

Chapter 1: Off Season 2018

Archie: Found it!.
