Ren and Chance never expected to become best friends.
People always questioned just how the unofficial "big man on campus" and his "sidekick" had gotten so close, but it was just an effortless connection between the two that had made it so. Somewhere between Ren's late night mandatory tutoring sessions, and Chance's impromptu parties that forced Ren out of her comfort zone, a friendship was born and now they were damn near inseparable. And there were no signs of that changing any time soon.
That is... until the summer break before their senior year of college.
Ren had put in some serious work in the gym as well as on the psychiatrist's couch over the summer, and it showed the minute she stepped on campus. Now looking and feeling much more confident than she'd ever been, she was finally enjoying her youth and no longer living in her best friend's shadow. She was suddenly this whole different person... at least in Chance's eyes.
Now, a bond that was once thought to simply be two kindred spirits, begins to reveal emotions neither Chance nor Ren are prepared for.

He grew to hate himself until Namiko randomly waltzed into his life one day and began teaching him how to love himself again. It was as if she was his second chance. He'd been so pissed off all night to the point where he was physically shaking like a ticking bomb. This one hug from her felt like the rainbow after a severe thunderstorm. He couldn't believe that his sanity really depended on her. He'd never reached this point of love before. She brought him so much peace. That's why he loved her the way that he did; the reason why he couldn't stand to spend a single second away from her and why he depended on her to keep him sane. She was just it; like a breath of fresh air. He never expected the woman that ended up stealing his heart would be a real life Disney Princess wandering cluelessly around New York City; an autistic one, at that.Complete

Emotionless. Maybe they were right. Then he met Viara. She was a stranger at a convenience store on a rainy night - two dollars short and smiling like she had no reason to be. Ryan gave her the money. She gave him something far more dangerous: a reason to feel again. What started as curiosity became obsession. Every glance, every word, every secret he uncovered about her pulled him deeper. Soon, Ryan wasn't just watching from the shadows - he was protecting her, perfecting himself for her, and removing anyone who dared to get in the way. Love made him better. Love made him worse. Because when you put her before you, there's nothing you won't do. Even if it means blood on your hands. Even if she never asked for any of it. Chapters Will Be Added Overtime.
Desire (Completed)
"If you were really my best friend, you'd see that you were the only person I've ever wanted to be with. You've been dating everyone else while I'm just sitting around waiting for you to open your damn eyes!" I yelled at him as tears streamed down my cheeks. He looked at me with wide eyes, clearly confused. He then held a sympathetic look on his face when he saw how passionate I was about this entire situation. I can't believe he didn't realize all these years that he was the one I wanted to be with all along. "How was I supposed to know Riley? You didn't tell me shit!" He yelled back at me but still held his same sympathetic look. I shook my head at him, wiping my face as I backed away from him, stepping into a pile of snow in the process. There was already snow on ground but more snow had just started to fall from the sky. "Look, I have to go. My mom wants me home for dinner." I said turning on my heels and walking away towards my house. I didn't even bother looking back but I knew he was still standing there. I wondered if he'd run after me or if he'd sweep me off my feet like I always imagined but no, nothing. Just broken dreams and maybe even a broken friendship. *For hopeless romanticsComplete
