[BOYS' LOVE] (REVISED: 2026 VERSION) As tall as a building. As cold as ice. As breathtaking as flowers. As fiery as a volcano. We may know what it looks like, but we are oblivious to what it seems to be. ⋆౨ৎ⋅˚₊‧⋅˚₊‧ ୨୧ ‧₊˚ ⋅‧₊˚ ⋅୨ৎ⋆ Growing up, Beniel Florus Matrinidad was always close to the beauty of Aphrodite. Despite his beauty and the countless men who made their move to him, he didn't entertain any of them. He may look innocent, but he knows how to handle himself, especially men. His only goal, when he and his friends transferred to a new university for their final year, was to graduate. Build a house for him and his grandmother. Have a stable job and live a happy life. Not until he met his roommate, Ashton Rize Tecson, a fiery, tall, basketball player from Summit Peak University known for his frigid aura. He doesn't talk much. He doesn't smile that much. In short, Ashton is the ultimate opposite of Beniel's type; the least Beniel could do is not fall for him. But he did. Were the looks and intimacy enough for love to bloom, or was love more than just what we see and feel? Were the sayings proved that having a crush on someone was just a phase? What happens when two opposites collide? What could go wrong when you place something where it simply doesn't belong? Like water on fire, or a flower in a volcano.

[BOYS' LOVE] My champagne problem is that you and I are opposites, at least for me, but the world insists we are the same. We are bonded. We are one. And I despise it. ⋆౨ৎ⋅˚₊‧⋅˚₊‧ ୨୧ ‧₊˚ ⋅‧₊˚ ⋅୨ৎ⋆ He swore he would never fall in love with someone shorter than him.

He had never been one for committed relationships. To Leroy, it was always a challenge to keep up with someone who demanded too much. But everything changed when Christopher Titus Reyes made his move, threatening to unravel Leroy's sanity. Naguguluhan kasi siya kay Titus. Urong-sulong. Sweet ngayon, bukas hindi na. In short, walang paninindigan! Sino ba naman kasi 'yang lalaking 'yan? Eh mas matangkad naman siya diyan. But what frustrated Leroy even more was that, despite everything, he could never truly distance himself from Titus. What was it about this guy? Why were they always drawn together, yet still so far apart? They were never certain what they were. Friends, lovers, or something in between. Yet somewhere between holding on and letting go, could they discover what would eventually become theirs?
