Contact
What if you couldn't touch anyone? What if physical contact was illegal and punishable by death? It's 2096, and the Contact Laws prevent anyone from touching another human being. Terrified by a new, fast moving strain of HIV/AIDS, the government enacted these laws to prevent the spread of the disease. The contagion has been gone for decades, but the laws still stand.
Spencer has always wondered what it would be like to touch someone else. His head stuck in the past, he thrives off of old music and daydreams of what it would be like to have been alive when his favorite musicians were.
Archer grew up in a secretive home where his fathers encouraged hugging and affection. Things that could get all of them killed. He meets Spencer purely be accident, and their outrageously different home lives and personalities make them an awkward fit at best. But with nothing in the right order anymore, awkward is perfect.
