Everybody knew they were too close. The late-night calls, the jealousy, the lingering touches, the way they always found their way back to each other. But when feelings start turning into something neither of them can ignore, their entire friend group begins to notice what they've been trying not to admit. Maybe it wasn't just friendship after all. Maybe it had always been you.

Four years after escaping Project 8111-and four years after the man he loved disappeared, Apollo Knight has built a quiet life with his three-year-old and his best friend, Jaysa. The nightmares still linger, but he's learned how to survive without hope. Until Red returns. Back from the shadows and determined to stay, Red is ready to fight through Apollo's heartbreak, doubt, and anger to prove one thing: He never stopped caring for him-and he's not leaving again. What Apollo doesn't know is that Red didn't leave without reason. He vanished to protect them both. And now that Red has shown his face, the danger he ran from has resurfaced-hungry, watching, and coming for them both.

Everybody expected Jalen Carter to crash out after prison. Instead, he came home trying to be a father. Trying to stay free. Trying to move differently. Trying not to lose himself again. But Amir Johnson makes that shit difficult. His best friend has been attached to his side since they were kids, still loud, still reckless, still the only person who can get under Jalen's skin without trying. And the closer they get, the harder it becomes to ignore the tension building between them. Now with his baby mama wanting their family back, old street problems resurfacing, and feelings neither of them knows how to handle... everything they built together could either save them- or destroy them..

Cause you give me something familiar 🖤 • "Look, I ain't mean to wake you up. I was just getting my shit and leaving," he said, quickly reaching down to grab his shirt from off of the ground near a fallen lamp. I guess that was what caused the crash earlier. "We don't even have to talk about it, for real," he rushed out. "So, you was just gon' fuck and dip?" My words stopped him in his tracks. "Without sayin' nothin'?" I was lowkey hurt at the realization that he was tryna sneak out of my spot after what we did. "Kofi...we fucked," he whispered the last part guiltily, as if he was afraid to say it out loud. "You're straight. I-" "Obviously, not anymore...after the way I had you screaming last night." . *Spin-off from Waves
