we don't need you to light up our world. just sit with us in the dark.

One punch, and the world tilted off its axis.

Everything started when the notorious troublemaker Benj Ferrera came back to school after months of being hospitalized due to a car accident and met the transferee turned heartthrob, Rael Villarin, who had been hired by his mother to be his tutor for the school year.

Reihan was twelve years old when his mother brought a ten year old boy saying he's gonna be his younger brother. The boy is named Arken. It was all okay for him, wala siyang problema na nag ampon ang mama niya ng isang sampong taong gulang na bata, naging mas masaya pa nga siya dahil nagkaroon siya ng batang kapatid. Naging malapit siya kay Arken kahit na hindi ito pala kibo at komplikado intindihin, sabay silang lumaki at naging malapit sila na parang tunay na magkapatid, ngunit nagbago ang lahat ng iyon nang mahuli niya ang kapatid na nagsasarili habang binabanggit ang kanyang pangalan. He found out that his younger brother wants to fuck him. He found out about his younger brother needs.

To him who shines the most, I offer my heart.

Somersault Boys Series #1 Might not. Probably won't. Maybe never. Unlikely. Doubtful. Despite being everything he could have been, Elize constantly settled in the dark, lurking with the impossibles and uncertainties. He believed that he would grow up and take the path of life in a single route with one straight line; no turns, no shortcuts. Perhaps it was because his one and only flesh and blood prompted him to think that if he didn't act like how he was made and how he was supposed to be, he would never reach the light at the end of the tunnel, or never reach his dreams, never be accepted, never be treated seriously...never be loved. The word "Always" was never in Elize's vocabulary-an exception with always doubting, always trying, always...just dreaming. But never the good kind of "Always". Then he tasted it, the bittersweet sensation in his tongue when his mother left him to work abroad. Elize then started to thrive, meet new friends, socialize, be a human...fall in love. For the first time, Elize felt free, felt genuine, felt...guilty? Guilty...was it because he felt glad his mother left, or because he met someone that made him start to feel the Always' in his Nevers? Regardless, he dedicated his whole life in chasing that assurance in his world of doubts, and he simply could not back out now. But when good things come to an end, the choice is yours if you want to let it go, or fight for it. If you choose the latter, make sure to draw blood and fight until you're dead. Just like Elize did.
