It's a game we play in his basement after sunday service. And sometimes on Wednesdays too. You only know about it if you know where to look. And who to ask. Us queer boys have to be careful like that, because this is the kind of town you don't walk out of alive unless you're hiding. But the truth is, I wanna marry a boy one day right out in the open. Right here near the ranches and the streams with the blessings of my momma and dad. But those are kids dreams. And if you try that you end up dead. Like that boy. But I. Still. Dream. I can't stop and how cruel can the world be to expect otherwise? To shame me for wanting more? So I play my games quietly. ______________________ Gabriel is an average, teenage boy in the south a little before the 2000's. He goes to school and then works part time at an old feed store. That's it. That's his life, except for the gay part. Stuck in a small town with even smaller minds long before the idea of gay marriage being legalized even existed, he finds ways to vent both his sexual frustration and internalized homophobia in the most unlikely place: the arms of the pastor's eldest son. But is a quick fix really what he's looking for? Or is there more for him, something deeper, across the hall with the pastor's younger son? (*NOTE: Not a love triangle, lol don't worry) _______________________ Author's Note: This was loosely inspired by a few stories I read on a website called Lakeweed At Arrow Head, particularly Beyond the Rain by Grasshopper. It dealt with a gay couple in the south coming to terms with not only themselves but each other. It simultaneously broke my heart with the isolation they faced, but also made me feel their love for each other and even themselves through every word. Every sentence. I hope those emotions are reflected in this, even just a little.

In the town of Harrisville, Ohio, there were two schools. Harrisville High School and Harris Academy. These two schools went above and beyond the rival quota. There had been many arrests on both sides and a lot of money had gone into fixing things that were broken by the other school. Pools had been emptied and refilled, football fields were re-grassed, gyms were redone, etc. These were some of the things that had been done to and by both schools. Going to school into their junior years, were the two rival starting quarterbacks; Justice Homer and Reed Archer. Justice Homer goes to Harris Academy. He's your typical prep school student. He has good grades, a good family and popular. He has plans to go to Bear Valley University, which is in Argent, California. Although he does participate in the rivalry, he doesn't get involved with anything that will harm his future. He stays away from the illegal stuff. Reed Archer goes to Harrisville High School. He's the quarterback of the football team. He's can be considered a 'bad boy' but he doesn't do drugs, only drinks at parties. His home life is complicated. Although his parents don't love one another and all they do is fight, they haven't gotten a divorce. Both of his parents are set in their ways and believe what they believe without hesitation. Since Reed doesn't really have the money to go to college, he hasn't really had any plans for the future. He just knows he wants to play football. He never really had a backup plan. These two boys were rivals, but one week at an away football camp during the summer changed that. They were forced to room together and that changed the relationship between them one hell of a lot. Gone was the rivalry and in its place was a young love story. Fair warning: BXB, Rivals, Do not Copy, This is made up, No characters are real, Places mentioned are not the same as in real life unless big things (such as Harvard)

New school years call for new beginnings. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) for Caleb, his new beginning consists of a constantly horny pale roommate. This year should be fun for him. *Chapters are kind short. *But there are a lot of chapters. *The story is finished. But I'll be going back and fixing small mistakes from time to time. So there'll still be updates sometimes.
