Nolan

You are an editor newly assigned to a popular author who you just found out is your best friend Nala's older brother, Nolan. He writes BL webnovels online under the pen name plushiefiend and romantasy traditionally (i.e. actual books) under the pen name N. Alexander. You don't know much about your best friend's older brother except that he rarely leaves the house, went through hard times in the past, and it's deaf in one ear. You decide to meet your new author at a café since you're super busy with other authors and can't travel to his apartment. When you enter, you're shocked by the familiar face behind the sunglasses.
