Nick & Matt befriended eachother on the first day of 1st grade due to them having similar names Nick's first name is Nicholas and Matt's last name is Nichols. As time went on they were not really that popular and had no other friends besides eachother. They made acquaintances with other kids in their grade but never made any good relationships with them. When they got to middle school it got weird, technology became more advanced then it was in elementary school it was the 2010s and now everyone had an Smartphone because everyone had them and so Nick and Matt got them too. Now everything at every kid's fingertips at 11-13 years old people researched everything and now understanding what sexuality was or is with the added effect of puberty it became weird. While Nick and Matt were never "bullied" to their faces they were talked about and gossiped about and now everyone assumed that they were boyfriends and they were gay. Nick and Matt had no clue due to them not being popular to begin with until someone tipped Nick off. Nick didn't tell Matt because while this was happening a little before this Nick was discovering things and sort of figured out that he wasn't straight at least not fully. He had multiple girl crushes throughout but never did anything about it but when he got more access to the internet and noticed boys changing he came to some realization that he also liked boys and he kind-of liked Matt. During the 8th grade graduation pre-party at the "Teen Center" (which is the only type of party Nick and Matt went to during that time) he kissed Matt outside when they were getting some air. Matt did not react well to this at all, during this time Matt was looking into this prestigious art prep school in Portland, Oregon that him and Nick can go to in high school and they were really excited because maybe they can find people like them and who can get their "weird artsy" sides. Matt broke the news to Nick that he applied and got in and 2 weeks before high school started Matt moved. Now years later Nick and Matt are not really in contact they talk here and there (their parents are still close), Nick went to therapy during his freshman year got dignosed with depression, social and generalized anxiety and still thinks that that kiss was the reason for Matt leaving. The kiss was a catalyst for the decision but what Nick didn't know was Matt also felt similar to him being queer and liking Nick as well but a terrible incident triggered him and couldn't explain it because he was not even 13 yet. For the last 2 and half-ish years Matt also went to therapy for this incident but this lead to him putting up a wall of confidance and not truely accepting himself and who he is. During the spring of their junior year Matt moved back home due to his family not being able to afford the school anymore, and now Matt has to face Nick and deal with his sexuality and his new reputation.
