Struggling with your sexual identity is no easy path-and it's never a joke. Especially not in the world of football. Especially not as a Black male with an overbearing father who makes it clear he "ain't raise no sissy." For Isiah Carter, that struggle only gets worse during his junior year of high school when a new teammate, Luke Collins, joins the field in the summer. At first, Luke is nothing but a thorn in his side-the dog to his cat. They clash constantly, never seeing eye to eye, always one argument away from throwing hands. They clash on and off the field, tension building with every argument, every look held too long. Luke is everything Isiah shouldn't want-and everything he can't ignore. But one night changes everything, and suddenly, Isiah is unable to deny what he's been running from.

𝕄𝕚𝕘𝕦𝕖𝕝 𝔻𝕚𝕒𝕫 𝕩 𝔸𝕤𝕙 𝕃𝕒𝕨𝕣𝕖𝕟𝕔𝕖 Distance makes the heart grow fonder, least that seemed to be the case for ash and miguel. Every time they figured out what they were to each other. Something seemed to come along and jeopardize it, and yet. Each time they came back together it seemed like their love for each other was stronger. Ash laughed in Daniel larussos face when he told him distance made the heart grow fonder. But on the other side of things, he hated the man for being right. Sometimes he just wished Miguel and him could love each other at the same time. Ash and Miguel came from completely opposite ends of life. Miguel hadn't had a day where he'd felt unloved between his mother and sister. He'd always been taken care of no matter what it cost those he loved. Ash Lawrence grew up in a house not a home. It was a shell of a home a graveyard of what could've been. But Miguel starts making him feel at home, Miguel had always had a deep void. Never ending feeling of loneliness that was suffocating him. He didn't have a reason to feel alone but he did. Never talking about his feelings, never telling people that under all the smiles he brought. There was a deep dark unsettling feeling, he couldn't shake. Until he was stood infront of ash Lawrence, meeting the boy for the first time. Forgetting the void that'd been within him, two souls that completed each other. But that also meant no one could hurt them like each other. And sadly it was written in their dna to hurt each other. Paradise wasn't forever but maybe they could make it last. As long as they have each until they didn't.
