Elliot, an agender teenager, paints. He paints and he paints and he paints, but he doesn't ever fully put his feelings into it. A boy in his school, Hunter, finds out about his art and they soon become friends. Hunter encourages Elliot to let himself paint what he feels, rather just than what he is told to paint by teachers and parents and friends. As they become closer friends, Elliot and Hunter learn more about each other than they ever expected to, and their lives will never be the same after one night together.

Broken ✓ (BoyxBoy)
"Wait, you're gay?" I asked in confusion, scratching the back of my head. "Well duh. How oblivious are you?" "Well, I guess I'm pretty dumb, but my sexiness makes up for it." "Sure Hunter, whatever helps you sleep at night..." *** [Completed] Hunter just moved to a small city in Florida after his third suicide attempt, being forced to live with his aunt. After his first day at his new school, he has the whole football team hating him with his smart remarks, except for one quarterback who takes an interest in him. With his new therapist, his annoying aunt, and the hell hole he calls school, will Hunter be able to make it through the rest of high school, or will he forever be broken? --- This story contains romance between two boys. If you're not okay with that then I suggest you leave. I'm gonna go ahead and add a trigger warning, for suicidal themes, cutting, etc... Fair warning, this story is really poorly written. It's filled with plot holes, grammar errors, and everything else under the sun that makes a bad story. It pains me to reread it but it's like my own writing history so I don't want to take it down. It was written when I was 12, if that says anything, so keep that in mind before you read it! *** Highest rankings: 07/10/20 | #5 in Humor 02/09/20 | #5 in BxB 06/22/19 | #4 in SuicideAwareness 05/21/20 | #3 in GayLove 04/12/20 | #3 in UnlimitedPride 10/06/19 | #1 in Sarcasm 08/09/19 | #1 in GayFiction 08/17/19 | #1 in GayAf 09/28/19 | #1 in FreeTheLgbt 11/28/19 | #1 in TeenFiction 02/12/20 | #1 in Gayness --- Completed on 5/30/19Complete
Made of Light (boyxboy)
With every stroke of the brush, he let out feelings. Emotions were all over the canvas that was colored with warm and cool colors. It wasn't very often that he got confused over what he was painting or what emotions he was feeling. He had a new emotion, or a weird mix of emotions. Love and lust, confusion, fear, joyfulness. He has never had to mix all those emotions together before and now he did. Oliver Bright, was in love. With another boy.Complete
