Now it's all he can think about.

The Nix Duology Book 1. Morgan Nix hates Christmas and this year looks like it will be the worst Christmas he's ever had. His fiancé broke up with him four months ago, money is tight at the children's home he works at, and he just found out that his ex was cheating on him for months before their breakup. Always one to hold a grudge Morgan decides to get revenge. And what better way to do it than by pretending to date his ex's boss? The unattainable and gorgeous sorcerer, Nikolai Iarnă. The opportunity is presented to him when Nikolai asks him to pretend to be his boyfriend for the holidays so his relatives will stop setting him up on blind dates, as they have for the past 10 years. But what was supposed to be a fake relationship starts to feel very real and that's something Morgan doesn't think he's ready for. He's already had his heart broken once. He doesn't want to get hurt again. Is Nikolai someone he can trust or will he be abandoned once again when the holiday season ends?

THE RIGHT PERSON He came with the dusk- a shadow at the edge of the corridor, a glance held a second too long. He never said much. But Iruka noticed him anyway. And Iruka, with his steady voice and worn smile, wasn't supposed to matter. Not to someone like Kakashi. Not in the way he did. But between lesson plans and missions, between silent rooftops and whispered names at the memorial stone, something began to grow. Quiet. Persistent. Undeniable. A thousand things were never said. But still, they looked. Still, they lingered. And maybe, somewhere between the pauses, they began to understand- The right person doesn't always come loud. Sometimes, he just never leaves. ⸻ Slow Burn · Canon-Compliant · Romance · Hurt/Comfort

A modern, gay retelling of the star crossed lovers, Romeo & Juliet, about two boys falling in love despite the burden the world and their families put on their shoulders. [Extended synopsis inside]

when Jaylen Park and Cassian Bergman cross the fine line between rivals and lovers they have to reevaluate everything they have ever known because straight guys don't kiss other guys, especially their teammates, and they sure as hell don't sleep with them either. It doesn't help that the two boys have this underlying sexual tension that they both can't explain because at the end of the day no matter what connection still lingers between them, they can't act on their urges because Jaylen is 100% straight and so is Cassian or maybe the two are just a little confused but it's okay because no matter how many kisses they share behind closed doors as long as they remember to say "no homo" afterward it simply doesn't count as love, right?
