Can we be lovers and friends? 𝐌𝐱𝐌 .

One hotbox. One secret. Two boys who swore they were straight-until the smoke started messing with more than just their heads. Nic parties hard and lives louder, chasing highs and avoiding anything that feels too real. KT stays lowkey and unreadable, carrying a past he never talks about. They're nothing alike-but something clicks when they end up hotboxing in Nic's car at a random party. It was supposed to be just a vibe. But the more nights they spend together-talking, laughing, sharing things they shouldn't-the harder it gets to ignore the tension in the air. Glances last too long. Touches get bolder. And suddenly, nothing about being "just friends" feels right anymore. They've never looked at a guy like this before. Then again... they've never met someone like each other.

In which, Noah becomes Mar's white boy.

Zayden was different from other boys. Even tho everyone knew he was gay they didn't know his secret. Until one day he ran into a boy, everything changing after.

Five years after leaving Detroit behind, Lani, Kash, and their son Egypt settle into a new life in Houston-big house, fresh start, and fewer ghosts from the past. Across the street, Isaiah and Hasan are raising their daughter Saryn, balancing love, family, and the heat of the city. What starts as friendly hellos between neighbors quickly turns into late-night conversations, playful tension, and unexpected sparks. With Kash's possessive streak, Hasan's watchful eyes, and Lani and Isaiah caught somewhere between curiosity and temptation, the neighborhood's about to feel a whole lot smaller. Love, loyalty, and desire all blur together in this messy, funny, and dangerously intimate story about chosen family and the lines we can't help but cross.
