LIGHTERS AND CANDIES #1 ONGOING | UNEDITED Started: 09/21/25 Finished: They say that love comes at a cost. Are you aware of that? You can experience being loved, valued, and adored-yet also feel hurt and unwanted when they're not pleased. However, for someone who fears commitment and has little faith in love, the desire is only for enjoyment and excitement. With no attachments. Haze Keidren Guervarra. A son, a brother, a captain, a middle blocker, and a volleyball player with a reputation as a playboy. He is open-minded and considerate regarding sensitive issues within their circle, such as LGBTQ topics. He's also very obedient, particularly to his family. The concept of love was nonexistent in his vocabulary, akin to a newborn who comprehends nothing of that term. Thus, he intended to only engage in casual flings and friends-with-benefits arrangements, avoiding falling in love with anyone. But God had already plotted its course for him when Aidren Kaiza Viancy, a seemingly delicate kitten-like boy, began living under the same roof as him. Events were straying from his original plan, and ultimately, he would be left questioning his feelings for Kaiza. As they spent more time together-through training camps, competitions, celebrations for their victories, and at home-slowly, they found themselves in each other's embrace. Because even in amidst of chaos? No matter how fierce and brutal the storm is, they still chose to be each other's safe haven.
