Damian took a bullet for me when I was 17. He didn't ask for my heart in return, but it's been his ever since. We are as different as night and day. He's fun-loving and outgoing while I'm skeptical of new people and prefer to avoid social events. So, why did I agree to be handcuffed to him for a full week in the name of science?
