Carter Parrish lived a happy, simple life with his mom, and knowing she had found her way back to love was the best news he could have ever received. But love leads to marriage, and marriage brought him a new stepfather, a new house, six new stepbrothers and one especially obnoxious stepsister. When the place he is meant to call home starts to feel like a test to his good-will and patience, Carter needs an escape. He might find just that where he least expects it, after meeting a smart boy with a snarky sense of humor and a secret he doesn't seem to good at hiding, who just so happens to be his football coach's son. Somebody said "change is inevitable, growth is optional". Carter just wished they had left a footnote about how hard it can be. *STORY CONTAINS MULTIMEDIA*

*Formerly His Desire* "You think you want me, but I don't think you could handle what I would do to you." His stare is relentless.

Growing up in chaos isn't simple for all. Not many could cope. They would struggle and kick, but ultimately drown. However, for Dakota, that was his normality. Torturing. Maiming. Killing. That was his life, the life of a hunter. The Arizona line was elusive, written fame in the lore of hunters, and infamy for their prey. They were the best. No one could ever compare to their skills, their abilities, their ruthlessness. But Dakota was something else. His siblings might have learnt to enjoy the hunt, well most of them anyway, but Dakota didn't. There was always something missing for him, something he was waiting on. Silent and everlasting hope. A promise had been made to him, the day his twin brother was stolen, taken by the enemy, plucked right from the very home the Arizonas had grown up in. A promise of something better, something that he might actually want in his life. Now, almost sixteen years later, something was coming. A change was begging to be found. Maybe it would be for the best. Maybe Dakota would finally find that certain something that had been missing his whole life, something to fill the dark and fractured abyss that ached and wailed within. But nothing was ever that simple. Because, of course, the promise that had been made to Dakota would never be anything plausible for him, anything tangible to have and to hold. He had been promised a new life, by the greatest enemy of them all. It wouldn't be easy. Not with his family still clinging to his heels, the teachings of blood and violence burnt into his mind. No, leaving them behind wouldn't ever be easy. Then again, staying with them would only bring his inevitable death. Why not take the chance to die happy? After all, out of the ashes, a phoenix will rise...

This is the rewritten (better!) version of Boys Will Be Boys DISCLAIMER: This book will contain foul language and general idiocy. I started writing this almost six years ago, and many of the writing techniques and actual content are no longer representative of me as a writer. Nonetheless, I do hope it makes you happy to read. CW/TW: (internalized and general) homophobia, other TWs are specified as needed in chapters *** "You good Keke?" I felt a hand slap my back and looked up excitedly, lips splitting into a grin when Lukas dragged a stool over next to mine. He nudged me with his shoulder, a small smile on his lips. "Don't fucking call me that, and yeah, 'm alright," I yawned, resting my head on my forearm and leaning so I could meet Lukas' eyes. "Just tired and sore" I admitted, letting my legs dangle so I could knock them into Lukas' in a repetitive pattern. He looked down in surprise, which soon turned to determination as we waged a silent war between who could kick each other harder and evade the other's attack. "Yeah, I'm still sore from last night too" Lukas murmured, wincing when I got him in the shin. "Same here" DJ piped in, echoed quietly by Roger who was still lost in his own world. "You guys make it sound like we had a massive orgy last night"

The story is NOT edited; I apologize for the problem, but I shall edit it as soon as possible. Jasper Lucas is a shy, sweet and easily blushing, 17 years old student who loves to skateboard with his friends and spend time with his best friend, Travis Henderson. He is gay and his family hasn't accepted the fact and treats him coldly. His older brother Nicholas, however, is proud of him and loves him dearly. Thanks to Travis and his burning enthusiasm and persistence, Jasper's life is now brighter and happier. Thanks to Travis, Jasper has met and made new friends at school, which all like him and call him "cutie". But, what comes next? Jasper has an incredible and huge crush on Dmitri (Dima, for his friends) and he doesn't know what to do. Jas is too shy and timid to take matters in his hands. Perhaps he needs some advices from Travis and his well-known dirty mind... Oh boy, what to do? Dima is completely straight and horses around with girls, never getting serious about any of them; he is an outgoing, funny and easygoing Russian guy of 18 years, which resembles a huge blonde bear. He loves to play ice hockey with his best friends, to snowboard and sometimes to skateboard. He loves "Star Wars" and so does Jasper, and that's how their friendship started. Dima likes very much Jasper and his sweet and calm side, he finds himself wanting to help the little kid when he sees him down or sad. Dima likes Jasper, but just as a friend. Or is Dmitri only terribly dense? What will take Dima to realize Jasper isn't just a friend? Maybe a push from his friends, especially River and Travis. Maybe an unexpected rival; a new classmate who likes Jasper and keeps trying to flirt with him. Did I say one rival? Oh, my bad. Two new unexpected rivals. Will all of this make the funny grizzly finally realize he likes the cute koala more than a friend? Cover designed and made by Azer90
