Santiago Alverio is torn between family expectations and his own internalized fears from homophobic relatives. As he enters a casual fling with Diablo Delgado, he discovers that love, patience, and acceptance might be the blueprint to healing and embracing his true self. *** Santiago Alverio has always lived by the rules of his family, peers, and a silent world that tells him who he should be. As a civil engineering student, he hides behind toxic masculinity and the fear of being noticed because of expectations and a homophobic upbringing. Then comes Diablo Delgado--fearless, affectionate, and unapologetically himself. What begins as a no-strings "friends with benefits" arrangement slowly converts into something deeper. With every touch, every unguarded smile, Diablo breaks the walls Santi has built around his heart. But love is never simple. Santi is caught between family pressures, societal judgment, and his own insecurities. Will he ever realize that happiness was never about meeting expectations but about choosing the person who makes him feel whole? DISCLAIMER: This story is written in Taglish.

Kit Sachiel has always wanted one thing - freedom. Freedom to choose his own colors, to find peace in silence, to live quietly in the softness of his own world. He's never been one for chaos, always doing his best to stay out of trouble. But then trouble found him anyway - with a dragon tattoo sprawled across his back, a voice that rumbled like thunder, the scent of smoke that lingered like heartbreak, and a noise that ruined the calm Kit worked so hard to keep. He told himself he hated him. And maybe, for a while, he did. But hate doesn't make your heart race like that. It doesn't make the world feel less lonely. It doesn't make you wish for more. Because somewhere between the noise and the silence, Kit realized that trouble didn't destroy him. It freed him. Sweater Weather Series #1 COMPLETED
