Nobody is as stable, as loving and as close as them.

With the help of their oldest friends - Tao Xu, Elle Argent, Aled Last, Tara Jones and Darcy Olsson - the pair start to work through their insecurities, but there's still doubt in their minds that this may not end happily for them both. Everybody else is confident in their abilities to overcome this rough patch and continue with their lives. Why wouldn't they? After all, they're Nick and Charlie... This is based on the graphic novel series 'Heartstopper' by British author Alice Oseman. Trigger Warning - this book contains mature themes like self-harm, eating disorders and also strong language.

*COMPLETED* (Y.O.L.O stands for: YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE) *** Carter Jones, the school nerd, and Killian Henderson, the reputated troublemaker, somehow end up getting detention together. "How about we make a bet?" Offered Killian, his pistachio-green eyes drilling into mine as a playful smile lingered on his lips. "A bet?" I gulped, intimidated by how close he was sitting next to me.

And that's how it all started. *** Rankings: #fiction #featured #queer #gay #depression #bl #youngadult #featured #comedy #bisexual #manxman #teen fiction #boyxboy #bxb #LGBT #romance Cover designed by Holly Thurston

"We can't do this." I whisper as our lips re-connect, a tingling fire surging through my body as his hands ravage unexplored lands; my innocence dissipating away with every peck he trails down my neck. "I know we can't. That's why it's so exciting." He replies through kisses. His effortless charm intoxicates me; drowning me; hunting me; devouring me. "What if my brother finds out?" The perpetuated patter of the rain unable to subdue my groan as he digs his nails deeper into my skin. "Who cares." ********** Welcome to my story, where an innocent boy finds a not so innocent boy in his bed; where they do not so innocent things. - YOP
