"Don't erase the mistakes. Learn from them instead."

----------------------------------------------------

For years, Errol Balker has been running away from his life, shutting out the previous world as he attempts to start a new one.

All he wants is change; to be better; to be a tame monster.

Amidst focusing on what he does best - which is drawing - he finds it fairly impossible to begin afresh when he refuses to acknowledge the damage that he has left behind, especially when bits of history follow him around like a shadow, like a constant reminder of his past ...

The Smile Has Left Your Eyes by XrainXstormX

"We've been best friends for fourteen years. Did you really think I wouldn't notice? I can see it... in your eyes. Your smile never reaches your eyes." -- When Aspen Ace falls, he falls hard. It's a gradual descent that happens so naturally, Aspen doesn't even recognize anything's changed until he's already neck-deep in an unrequited love for his best friend, Rafe Alvarez. Nervous and insecure, Aspen brings this new revelation to the person he trusts most-his older brother, Alex. He doesn't expect to be met with unconditional acceptance, but the reaction he receives is nightmare fodder. Regret barely scratches the surface of Aspen's emotions when his brother decides to blackmail him, but with no other option, Aspen learns to survive. Aspen can deal with the abuse as long as Alex keeps his sexuality a secret. He'll just wait it out. Aspen will graduate high school with a baseball scholarship and get the hell out of his conservative hometown... if he can endure. But he can't, and Aspen's suddenly fighting not only his brother, but the all-consuming monster in his head.

He Says He's Just A Friend by jms777

the boy on the bridge ✔️ by fragmented-

"Are you going to jump off the bridge now or not?" "Are you going to stop me if I said yes?" "Of course not," "Then, what would you do?" "Probably count you off," "Wow," "Do you want me to count?"

Love in Denial by anjalichettri12

Ohm has always been confident in his identity-a straight guy with a loving girlfriend and a carefree attitude. Flirting has always been just a game to him, something harmless and meaningless. So when he starts teasing Leng, his new classmate, he thinks nothing of it. After all, they're both guys, and it's just for fun... right? But as the playful banter turns into lingering stares and an undeniable tension, Ohm finds himself drawn to Leng in a way he can't explain. The more he tries to convince himself it's nothing, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth. He isn't just playing around anymore-he's falling. Trapped between the life he's always known and the feelings he never expected, Ohm struggles to accept the possibility that he might not be as straight as he thought. And in a world that refuses to understand, loving another man feels like the greatest risk of all. Will Ohm find the courage to face himself and the judgment of others, or will he let fear dictate his fate?

Deaf Wish by weirdself

"I don't care how many times I have to tell you that you are more than enough, that you deserve someone to make you happy and to love you and that I'm so grateful that I'm the one. Or at least I hope I am. But you need to stop thinking the way you do. Just stop it. Drop it. End it. Delete it. Never say it. Never think it. It will only hurt you in the end." he removes his hand from my mouth, his facial expression smoothing after he got things off his chest Skylar thinks of himself as worthless, useless and not likeable and being deaf didn't exactly help with his judgment. But will he change his mind about himself when he meets Nathan? Warning: This story contains BoyxBoy Action and triggering (self-harming) parts. Don't like don't read. You have been'/ will be warned.

Cause for Concern ✓ by swallowedhearts

[BXB / unedited ] Saying that Max Oran is a disaster would be an understatement: he got himself kicked out of school, his dad has sent him to live with his emotionally distant mother and his friends don't want anything to do with him.

As Max develops new bonds and begins to fall for Cole, he realizes that, despite everything, he might have stumbled into something beautiful. Eager to embrace the second chance that life has given him, Max begins counseling and, with the help of Cole and his newfound friends, tries to move forward. However, he quickly realizes that there are more bumps ahead than he was prepared for and is forced to decide if he's going to push past his problems or let his mistakes hold him back forever.
