Haphephobia: the fear of being touched.

Blake, a second-year Psychology student, hadn't ever heard of such a phobia, until the day he was hired as a guide for Dean, the heir of a rich family.

Even though Dean had the appearance and behaviour of a gentleman, he harboured an extremely dark and painful past that left him traumatized.

After a rainy night on an empty road, a string of coincidences brings the two together. Blake makes it his goal to help Dean free himself from his past and bring back the happiness he deserves while Dean can't help but be won over by the charismatic guy, who is the only one not to see him as damaged or pitiful.

However, when memories are revealed, and the feeling of friendship starts turning into something else, things complicate.

Plan Of Seduction by bl_principito

"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. Highest Rankings (that I'm aware of): LGBT+: #3 , College Romance: #2 , Gay: #19 / GayPride: #2, Gay boyxboy #1

$The Way I Love You {bxb} by Sayless_lena$

"Jake," Seth called out. Nothing. Seth groaned and then walked up behind him and once he got to him he saw that Jake had both his earbuds in. He chuckled and then walked around the couch. Once he stood in front of Jake, he looked up and finally got his attention. Jake smiled while slowly taking out his earbuds. "Yes," Jake spoke softly. "You've been doing work since lunch," Seth spoke. Jake sighed, looking down at all his notes scattered across the coffee table. He looked back up at Seth. "Sorry," he whispered. The two chuckled as Seth stepped closer to Jake. "Maybe," he spoke slowly as he got a hold of the notebook on Jake's lap. "It's time to take a break." Jake smirked as he watched Seth place the notebook on top of the clustered coffee table. Once their eyes met again a smile slowly grew on Seth's face. #2 (Reasons To Love You) The Way I Love You is another bxb story. It's now senior year- the last year of high school and Jake and his friends all want to make this a year to remember. But when a new student arrives at their school, causing trouble between the friendships and relationships this will definitely be a year to remember. The story contains a guideline for mature audiences only. Unlike the first book, this one is more on the mature side. Just seniors in high school doing what they want. Read at your own risk.

Reap the Earth at Which you Stand [boyxboy] by FKNichols17

Growing up in chaos isn't simple for all. Not many could cope. They would struggle and kick, but ultimately drown. However, for Dakota, that was his normality. Torturing. Maiming. Killing. That was his life, the life of a hunter. The Arizona line was elusive, written fame in the lore of hunters, and infamy for their prey. They were the best. No one could ever compare to their skills, their abilities, their ruthlessness. But Dakota was something else. His siblings might have learnt to enjoy the hunt, well most of them anyway, but Dakota didn't. There was always something missing for him, something he was waiting on. Silent and everlasting hope. A promise had been made to him, the day his twin brother was stolen, taken by the enemy, plucked right from the very home the Arizonas had grown up in. A promise of something better, something that he might actually want in his life. Now, almost sixteen years later, something was coming. A change was begging to be found. Maybe it would be for the best. Maybe Dakota would finally find that certain something that had been missing his whole life, something to fill the dark and fractured abyss that ached and wailed within. But nothing was ever that simple. Because, of course, the promise that had been made to Dakota would never be anything plausible for him, anything tangible to have and to hold. He had been promised a new life, by the greatest enemy of them all. It wouldn't be easy. Not with his family still clinging to his heels, the teachings of blood and violence burnt into his mind. No, leaving them behind wouldn't ever be easy. Then again, staying with them would only bring his inevitable death. Why not take the chance to die happy? After all, out of the ashes, a phoenix will rise...
