Softboys Stories

Christopher Laurence Marquez understands systems better than he understands people. As an engineering student newly arriving in Texas, he trusts timing, structure, and observable patterns. Most things can be explained if examined carefully enough. Systems stabilize. Adjustments happen. Life continues. Then orientation week changes direction. What begins as ordinary proximity with Brandon and Blake Hayes - identical twins at the center of Texas football culture - gradually becomes something Christopher cannot fully organize into logic. Brandon moves through the world with immediate momentum. Blake with quiet precision. One expands the atmosphere around him. The other steadies it. Somewhere between them, Christopher finds himself answering faster, staying longer, and noticing them before he means to. The connection does not arrive dramatically. It builds through repetition: shared routines, recognition patterns, quiet reassurance, late-night conversations, and the growing realization that some people begin to feel emotionally familiar before you fully understand why. As football visibility expands across campus and beyond it, Christopher struggles to balance overstimulation, attention, and the terrifying possibility of becoming emotionally reachable inside a world that never seems to slow down. Because Christopher has spent most of his life preparing for eventual distance. But Brandon and Blake keep returning. Again. And again. And again.

They don't get along. Never have. Kageyama Tobio is cold, sharp, and impossible to please. Hinata Shoyo is loud, reckless, and always in his way. They're rivals. Enemies. And unfortunately... teammates. But something happens between the arguments and the perfect sets - something neither of them is ready to name. It's not friendship. It's not love. Not yet. But it's something warm. Something bright. Something like... sunshine.

Constellations are beautiful but deadly, especially if they get promoted from being a source to look at to being a hitman, Orion and Leporix two companions have been doing this for many cycles so what happens when Orion starts to find himself falling for his target?

"When you grow up in a world void of colours you find beauty in other details. The intricacy of a design or the feeling the scene gives off. The dull world is one that so many reside in because there are so many people that don't meet the person that colours the world in a split second. There were times as a child that Oliver even doubted that a single look could blossom the colours around him. It sounded like a fairy tale. So he grew up believing the hues of gray were the only ones of which he'd ever see. He was okay with that. That was until he met him." /// This is in no way the finished product, it is merely the drafted version that i wanted to upload to see if people liked the story. It started out as a stupid short story but has now turned into a full on novella and I want to continue it and, hopefully, finish it. Thank you for your support!! This is something I've been working on for weeks, it's not finished quite yet and there's still some editing I need to do to fix it and get it right, but I hope it's still entertaining to read. I would appreciate any comments you'd give, I really need the feedback. There are parts that are cringy, I know, I was really just aiming for the "angst" factor and adding more plot, I didn't want it to be so cut and dry, that would be boring. Besides, I wanted to use some of the cringy parts to flesh out the character's relationships. And yes, I know a lot of it is overdramatic and really... bad, but it's fun to write so I'm essentially going to leave it alone until I start hating it. Oh, and the character Noah, I really meant to implement him more, so I may have to go back and add him more, along with Jessica and Alex's siblings, so there will be edits in the future with new scenes and more character development for those characters because I feel they deserve it. Thank you!!

Hookups get messy. Secrets get out. Feelings get caught. Nobody's as together as they pretend to be.
