Hope.
Hope. Such a misinterpreted word isn't it? The meaning of the word changes for each individual. For some, it's just a few letters stringed together. But for others, it's a matter of life and death. For these two boys 'hope' definitely means the latter. It's something both of them want, yet, are so far from getting. Each time they take one step forward, it's almost as if they're dragged two steps back. So close, yet, so far. Tyler is blind and Luca is hurting. A coming-of-age story, where life does whatever the hell it wants. RANKS: #1 in lgbtpride #1 in disability #1 in blind #3 in lgbtlove #10 prideComplete

Plan Of Seduction
"I hate you - so much Tripp." More confusion because, once more, wasn't this a good thing? "Why did you have to say that? What if," A little quieter, just above a whisper. "What if we mess up our friendship?" "But what if we don't?" "You don't know that," I bumped his nose with my finger. "And neither do you. So, why don't we give it a shot?" He bit down on his bottom lip, hesitation and worry filling his gaze. __ This is literally a story that follows the plot of two best friends realizing their feelings for each other, yes, I know, very cliche, but I enjoyed writing it. There will be mature LGBT+ content, so if you don't want to read those chapters or this story, skip it.
