Kieran Tate is the type of person who just floats through life. He had a somewhat average childhood, has somewhat average grades, and isn't really anything special. That's the way he likes it to be; do all of the needed tricks without falling off the skateboard. Do what you need to do to be noticed, but never do enough to be considered an attention seeker. There's only one problem that interferes with Kieran's life that causes everything to not be so simple. Cassius Connor won't leave him alone. Kieran has tried time and time again to ignore his snide comments and nonsensical arguments, but Kieran can only take so much before his fuse blows. Not a day goes by when Kieran and Cassius aren't fighting with each other. The happy-go-lucky skateboard kid and the gloomy, hot-headed teen have nothing in common, so how do they butt heads so often? Soon enough, their lives become intertwined with no way to reverse it. From jealous best friends, to new family challenges, to dealing with an enemy, Kieran has it all. Only it's a lot more complicated than it seems. Cassius is a much more interesting person than what's on the surface. Cassius tries to bury his past, but the closer Kieran gets to him, the more of his dark and forgotten life is uncovered. Not only that, but Kieran is about to find the key to ruining Cassius's life. Will he use it to his advantage or will he use it to unwind Cassius's complexity? With a lot of rage, a lot of laughs, and a whole lot of healing, will Kieran and Cassius finally see eye to eye... or will their relationship blossom into something more? It's your usual enemies-to-lovers tale, but with a twist.

[boyxboy] Cameron Patterson and Aaron Williams have hated each other for as long as either of them can remember. Because they play positions that counter each other, it was easy for them to hate each other. When one of them is playing well, the other is playing badly. On multiple occasions, their confrontations have become physical, some of them becoming full on fights. One night following a game, their hatred erupts in a way neither of them saw coming. WARNING: There is a massive amount of smut in this book. If you do not want to read smut, do not read this book, because there is a hell of a lot of smut. Chapters with smut will be labeled with an (M) on them, showing that they are mature. If you don't want to read smut, please just skip those chapters. IMPORTANT: The characters start out 18, but there are clear inconsistencies. I started writing this before the Wattpad Purge, and I didn't want to go through the entire story and change their age to 18. There will be a couple chapters near the end of the book where they both turn 18, and obviously that's just stupid. I just don't want to get banned, so I'm saying that these characters are already 18, but they also have their 18th birthdays near the end of the book. I'm just being lazy to be honest. It's not gonna affect the book that much, just ignore it when they say in the early chapters that they are already adults or already 18. That shit doesn't matter. The quality of my writing in this book is pretty mid by the way. I'm a teenage boy that listens to 21 Savage, I feel like expectations shouldn't be high. I don't have writing skills the way many other writers on this site do, so don't expect some Shakespeare type shit. The characters in this book are similar to each other too. It's easier I guess. #1 Sports 4/8/24 #1 Teen Love 6/24/24 #3 Friends With Benefits 3/31/24 #6 Football 3/27/24 #2 Jock 7/2/24 #6 Hate to Love 5/16/24 #4 Bisexual 6/10/24 #4 Pride 6/24/24 #3 Gay Love 6/27/24 #2 Teen Romance 7/26/24

Hayden Cross knows exactly what he wants. Back from a summer marching DCI, he's craving a well-deserved national win for his band. The Lovell High Marching Knights have been consistently second place in the region since his freshman year, losing by fractions of points to the ever-annoying Merrimack Valley Fightin' Titans. This year they are determined to win, even if it means breaking a few small, insignificant rules. So, Hayden and a few other section leaders sneak into Valley's first home game to spy on their band. It was all going to plan....until they got spotted five minutes in and left Hayden to fend for himself against some really angry Titans. Cameron Miller just wanted a normal year. Fresh off a summer DCI tour with the most annoying percussionist he's ever met, he's ready to enjoy and excel in the Class 1 marching band he loves dearly. He really should have just let the trumpets knock Hayden's lights out. Instead, he dismounted his drum, jumped into Hayden's arms, and kissed him. It was the first thing he thought of, don't blame him! But it was enough to get the band off Hayden's back and gave Valley an in to spy on Lovell, at least according to Cam's brother. But when a fake relationship turns too real, will Cam and Hayden let their fears tear them apart? Or will they find their own true meaning despite their uncertain beginning? Grab your instrument, don't forget your dot sheet, and play like you mean it as romance and rivalry go head to head in the 2022-23 marching season! Warning to readers, "Like You Mean It" contains discussions of transphobia, mental health struggles, and swearing. Read with caution.

BOOK 2 Wyatt has spent most of his life holding everything together-his younger sister, his home, his own fragile emotions. Life taught him early that people can leave, and that sometimes the safest place is the one you create yourself. Enter Liam Carter: loud, impulsive, endlessly moving, and the last person Wyatt thinks he could ever get along with. When a school project pairs them together, old grudges and first impressions collide, forcing Wyatt to navigate messy emotions, sudden laughter, and unexpected connection. Liam doesn't see the careful structure behind Wyatt's calm, and Wyatt doesn't see the soft, unguarded parts Liam keeps hidden. As they spend more time together, boundaries blur, walls crumble, and both boys discover the uncomfortable, thrilling truth: maybe people aren't meant to be predictable-and maybe love doesn't come in neat lines.

[boyxboy] Adrian Sanders has had a crush on Derek Peterson for three years in high school. They played on the same side of the field, locking up any receivers that tried to get receptions on them. Adrian is the only person that knows that Derek is gay, but Derek doesn't know that, until Adrian sees something that will change their relationship completely. WARNING: There are massive spoilers for Teammates With Benefits. If you don't want a book full of smut, then this book can kind of be read as a standalone, but I would not recommend it. There will most likely be smut, but this is going to be a slow burn. Homophobia will be way more present than it was in Teammates With Benefits. My updating schedule will be the exact same as it was for Teammates With Benefits. Every Monday and Friday at 7 AM PST/10 AM EST. This will be consistent throughout the entire book. This book will probably be under constant editing, similar to Teammates With Benefits. Again, the schedule of these football (American football) games will not be the same as it is in real life. In real life, college football ends in January, but in this book, games will go until May. This is most likely not going to be the only sequel/spin off I write off of Teammates With Benefits. I'll see where all the characters are by the end of this book, decide if I want to or am at least motivated enough to write another book with these characters. I most likely will be.

I've changed a lot since writing it and would ask that anyone who reads it keeps in mind that I've adapted since then. Please do not use this story as a way to judge my writing style because I've come a long way since then, this is just my first story I'll be publishing here.

[BoyxBoy] "I'd take your worst memory and put it into my own head if it meant that you no longer had to suffer." Versailles Evigheden was a hopeless romantic; he yearned for the love and affection he saw within those around him and had done everything to achieve it. Even if what he'd done just ended up hurting him in the end. And he did achieve it, but never for long. He knew he was dependent, maybe even overly so, but who could blame him? After hiding from the spotlight for his entire life, constantly avoiding being the center of everyone's attention - it was only natural that he wanted even one person to notice him. ••• Kye Rosenheim earned himself the reputation of a "bad guy" for a purpose; to scare everyone away from himself. Because in his mind, nobody deserved to see the absolute mess he was hiding underneath. Especially after the death of his childhood best friend... Dealing with crippling daddy issues and a need to escape from the spotlight altogether, he never expected to fall for someone so different so fast. Someone that seemed to be his complete opposite. But, as the saying goes - Opposites Attract. [BOOK ONE]
