If people were natural disasters, he was a hurricane. Of course you wouldn't know that by just looking at him with those oceanic blue eyes and that windswept blond hair, looking as if he'd just stumbled off of an island. Maybe he looked like he rode the waves instead of creating them. But he was a hurricane: destructive and utterly antagonistic. And I just couldn't get enough.

Sometimes, I wondered if there was ever a time when I hadn't cared about others' opinions, either the subtle ones that I'd heard through hushed whispers... or the harsher ones I'd fabricated within my own mind. If there was a way to appease the vicious hounding of my own worries as they nipped at my heels, it felt far beyond my reach. I longed for the peace of hearing something unpleasant and allowing it to rush through me without it tearing me apart. --- Bennett Oden had long ago grown accustomed to the numbing coldness of reality.

Seemingly out of nowhere, he starts feeling... something for Caleb and a difficult relationship ensues. ------ "I can't keep sleeping in your bed, if you keep messing with my head. Before I slip under your sheets, can you give me something, please? I can't keep touching you like this, if it's just temporary bliss. I can't keep feeling love like this, it's not worth temporary bliss." ~Cover by @destrction

(bxb) After a year of surviving an all boys boarding school, William Brown thought he had finally navigated the ups and downs that the rich, private school had to offer. He'd even managed to make a few friends, as well as a rightful enemy. Lucien Harding. The two young boys were about as friendly as oil and water-that is, not very much. A dark haired boy deemed for destruction and a golden prince promised greatness weren't the likely pair. They knew as much, yet somehow, it had become inevitable. Their relationship would either go down in flames or a blaze of glory. Both boys bleed flame either way. Whichever path, they'll learn more than they bargained for.

Eva was fierce. She was strong and proud and determined. Even as a baby she was making her own rules, always leaving everyone else to follow along. She was talented. She was smart. She was pretty in a way that exuded confidence and drew attention. And Max really did adore all of that about her. Admired it in a quiet way because she was everything he thought he might want to be. Max decided the worst thing about Eva was being her twin brother. Decided it when he was young and still accepting her insistence that she was the older sibling. Back when he let her drag him into all her games and mischief. Trussed him up in bright dresses, plastic jewelry, and cheap lipstick. And he was always curious. Always wanting to be a little more like Eva. Because Eva could be anything. Max just wanted to be something. Someone. Someone a little bit wonderful, if he could manage it. *** Terrible Ideas Rewrite. Hopefully better than (Warnings for swearing, homophobia, and derogatory language)

He's ice cold, closing himself off to anyone. But when the two constantly bump into each other on their daily runs, avoiding each other becomes nearly impossible and the two are drawn to each other more than either will admit. "On Thin Ice" spinoff. Can be read as a standalone, but contains "On Thin Ice" spoilers and will make more sense if you read that first.
