Toby Wentworth's life is a clusterfuck. For a lot of reasons. And one of them just happens to be the fact that he is very gay, and also so far in the closet that he's practically in Narnia. But then there's this guy. This guy in his calculus class who winks at him. And suddenly, they're partners for a project. And Toby cannot stop thinking about him. Toby does his best to balance school, work, relationships, and the biggest secret he's ever kept as life goes on. He does, honestly. He tries so very hard. But things like drama, bizarre coincidences, and, of course, his crippling tendency to overthink have been making it difficult, and it's really not fair. But Toby just cannot stop thinking about that boy. And there are times when he wants to hate himself because of it. Sometimes, Toby's life sucks. He'll admit it. But as aggravating as the feeling of being just out of reach of a romance he desperately craves is, there's something... thrilling about it. Something that, no matter how many times he tries, cannot get him to stop this madness. He's in trouble. Absolutely. But maybe trouble can have its benefits. *** cover art by me!

BxB •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Austin Carmichael, a curious teenage boy and the son of two famous and filthy rich public figures, has everything and yet nothing. He was his mother's third child trying his best to keep his life private as he resided far away from his family. Having nothing to do, he occupied himself by staring down at the view from his balcony. It was nothing too fancy, but to him the long road and the basketball court right across from his home was fascinating, especially on Saturdays. On Saturdays, the court boomed with people and if Austin payed close attention, he could hear the sound of the basketball dribbling. He fancied the people and what they do, but he also fancied a certain boy who always looked so concentrated and determined to end with the win. The boy was tall and handsome, everything that fed to Austin's desires and before he knew it, he was crushing hard. Saturday after Saturday, he stood on his balcony and watched attentively until one day the unexpected happens. The court boy waves Austin over and not only could Austin not stop himself from rushing down into the court, he also couldn't stop the drama that would unfold.
