CUPIDITY (n.) Greed, strong desire To those who dare to love, Through storms and still waters, Guided not by reason but by the unyielding pull of their hearts. May this journey through cupidity remind us that love, in all its flawed brilliance, remains the most beautiful risk we ever take.

Xavier Damon Moretti doesn't play nice. A psychology student with a short fuse and a bad reputation, he's known on campus as the rebel without a cause-smoker, underground motor racer, walking fight club. A certified black sheep who doesn't give a damn what anyone thinks. Especially not Atticus Vale Serrano-his golden boy rival. Atticus is everything Xavier hates. Clean-cut, calculated, and too perfect for his own good. An engineering student who always has his shit together. Student council favorite. The face of every university campaign. And most importantly, Xavier's mortal enemy. But everything shifts after a brutal accident on the court-when Serrano crashes into Xavier's knee during a basketball game, ruining his chances to race again. Xavier swears to hate him more than ever. But hate gets complicated when Serrano starts showing up. Every day. With meds. With food. With quiet care behind that emotionless mask. And no matter how many times Xavier curses him, pushes him, shoves him away... Atticus stays. Until one day, he doesn't. When Atticus finally walks away, Xavier realizes the one truth he's never dared to face: He didn't hate him. He loved him. BL story started: 05/13/25
