Behind Those Eyes (boyxboy)
I sat behind him on his motorcycle. At that moment, all I wanted was to hold him in my arms and absorb every bit of his pain. He acted as if nothing had happened and drove in silence. I slowly started moving my hands towards his body, and suddenly, my control snapped and the pent-up feelings burst free. I gripped his back, my face burried into his shoulder as the sobs tore loose from my chest. He froze for a second, then gently tapped on my fingers wrapped around his waist, and went back to driving without saying a word. Author's note: Hey! This is the first part of a three-part series.

His Pride
Bully × Victim? No. Bully × Bully? Worse. Jayden Parker is Crystal High's golden boy. Top student. Basketball captain. Straight-A student. The kind of person teachers praise, parents brag about, and everyone secretly wants to be. At least, that's what it looks like from the outside. Behind the perfect grades and flawless reputation is someone far less admirable. Someone who laughs at cruel jokes, looks the other way when people get hurt, and never questions the world he's grown up in. Especially when it comes to Oliver-the openly queer student that Jayden and his friends love to torment. Then Axel Rivera becomes a problem. His best friend. His partner in crime. The one person who can make him laugh after a terrible day. The one person who somehow sees through every carefully built wall Jayden has spent years hiding behind. What starts as denial quickly turns into confusion, guilt, and feelings. As the cracks in his perfect life begin to spread, Jayden is forced to confront the truth he's spent years mocking in others. And for the first time, he has to decide whether he's willing to stay the person he's always been... or become someone better. Even if it costs him everything.Complete
