They've never kissed before, because that would be a step too far and it would mean they like each other. It was just a random hookup situation, between two guys who started to hate each other as they grew apart. That was the deal between Jessie Summers and Riley Williams. Countless amounts of hookups, endless hatred toward each other, but no kissing since they had no feelings for each other. They both agreed that it was completely causal, with no emotional investment or seriousness between them. At least that's what they thought at first... ~~~~~~~~~~~ Highest rankings: • Bisexual - #1 (21/7/20) • Lgbtfiction - #1 (19/7/20) • Boyxboy - #1 (11/9/20) • Boylove - #1 (14/9/20) • Sports - #1 (20/7/20) • Rivalry - #1 (11/7/20) • Casualsex - #1 (3/7/20) • Dorm - #1 (12/12/20) • Enemieswithbenefits - #1 (26/820) • Gay - #2 (2/9/20( • Lgbt - #5 (31/8/20) • Enemies - #5 (23/9/20) ~~~~~~~~~~~
