When August was ten, he moved in with his dad and half-brother. That was also the unfortunate year he met Elijah Malone-his brother's best friend and the absolute bane of his existence. For four long years, the two were locked in a never-ending war of insults, side-eyes, and occasional near-violence. But by the time high school rolled around, they struck an unspoken truce: total mutual denial. They didn't talk, didn't look at each other, and definitely didn't acknowledge the shared history of chaos. It worked. Until it didn't. One night, during one of his brother's infamous parties, Elijah stumbles into August's room... and promptly passes out. In his bed. Yeah. That's when things get complicated.

Levi. That damn Levi. That damn stupid, arrogant smile he always shot when we were arguing. Those damn words that came out of that damn mouth. Those damn same comments he shoots at me every argument. That damn, motherfucking Levi Neumann. Ever since first year in high school, we became officially enemies. Every hallway, every class, every stupid group project reminded me that he existed-and that I hated it. He never fails to ruin my day, and I make it my personal mission to do the same to him. Little did I know, the guy I wanted to punch the most might also be the one I'd... never thought I'd feel anything for.

And in that moment, I realized something that I've always known deep down in my heart. I finally understand why my eyes would always cling to him in a room, why my mood would always lighten up whenever he was around, why my world brightened up when I met him- why the sun shined brighter, trees and grass were greener, flowers smelled better. Why he makes my world more beautiful simply by existing in it. It's because I'm in love with him. The type of love that you never knew existed until you finally experience it yourself, the type of love that's hard to put into words because it's a love you've never had for anyone else. And never will. - JAMISON MACK ... And in which, Jamison Mack drunkly kisses his very much in love bestfriend, Hayden Zhang. Shouldn't be much of a problem, they both agree to forget about it. It was a drunken mistake. Nothing more, nothing less. One problem, neither of them can stop thinking about it. What could go wrong? Or in simpler words, a chaotic bisexual pro basketball player who's in love with his playboy footballer bestfriend. highest rankings #1 - interracialbxb #1 - maybesmut #1 - collegebasketball #2 - collegefootball #2 - interracialbxb #3 - lgbtq #3 - interracialbxb #7 - gayromance #13 - interracialbxb

I had sworn to myself, the day something is more beautiful than the moon to me, that is the day I have fallen in love. ~ "The moon is beautiful tonight, is it not?" Zayn asked. I glanced at the moon properly for the first time tonight. The moon was barely even an inch of his beauty. It felt as if the moon was merely reflecting the light in his eyes. Yet, he found the moon beautiful. "Yes, it truly is." I spoke, not being able to remove my gaze from him. He turned to look at me, a smile on his face and those gleaming eyes that could light up the whole world. My world. ***** Zayn needs to get drunk, that's all he knows. But what he doesn't know that it's only his nemesis who can fulfil that wish of his. Because no one else can provide the alcohol for a high school kid other than the bad boy himself. But in return, he owes him a favour. A favour that is yet to be discovered. They say they hate each other. And hate for them apparently also means caring for each other so much that you'd do anything for them. Hate apparently also means shoving their tongue down the other's throat when no one's looking. ******************* "You and me, we're not the same. I am a sinner, you are a saint."

There's a thin line between love and hate, and Leo and Axel are dangerously close to crossing it. Leo's the city's golden boy - the #1 Hero everyone looks up to. At just 17, he's already taken down hundreds of villains. Raised in a family of superpowered individuals, he was practically born to save the world. His mission? Simple: rid the city of crime, no matter what it takes. Axel, on the other hand, is what you'd call a villain - or at least that's how everyone sees him. He's notorious for hacking into top-secret government files and leaving cryptic, often taunting messages behind. He's got access to millions of classified documents, feeding them to his family for whatever purpose suits them. And he's only 17. Raised by a family of spies, Axel's just in it for the thrill. For him, it's all about having fun. But when Leo's assigned the task of recovering all the stolen files, he's not exactly thrilled. He's only ever seen Axel on TV, and he's been raised to hate him. The villain's the enemy, after all....right? Then things get messy. Somehow, they both end up stuck in the middle of a situation where they have to work together - whether they like it or not. Two teenagers from completely different worlds, thrown together by circumstances neither of them can control. As they fight side by side, they start to realize that maybe the feelings between them aren't exactly hate after all.

Even if that man had his sister clung to him like a leech. They couldn't be together but as tensions rise they both find out just how much self control they really have.

Small moments-conversations, accidental touches-force them to confront feelings neither of them expected. By the end of the week, confusion and anger give way to a raw honesty neither can ignore. Can they navigate their feelings, or will they walk away pretending nothing happened?
