Alex Cunnington has been in the foster system since he was seven, and he has never truly known love. He's known pain, he's known addictions, and he's known what it's like to be unwanted but love has always alluded him. Now at the age of sixteen he has been placed into yet another foster home, but this one seems different from the rest. Maybe it's because of the acceptance and kindness if his foster parents. Maybe it's because the other kids in the house have all had colorful pasts too, and are still kinder to him than anyone else he's met before. Or maybe it's because of the sexy as fuck pansexual son of his foster family. Either way Alex wants to find a way to make this family last. Maybe with each others help they will stop hiding from themselves.All Rights Reserved

Terrible Things (Boyxboy) by TheBirdWhoCannotFly

((Written in 2013!!!! Read at your own risk!!)) Adrian's life is pretty complicated, as you can imagine. His parents expect nothing but the best out of him, and if not received, they beat him. His social anxiety makes school a living hell. One day, a new kid shows up. He's from the UK and his name is Jamie. Jamie seems different than anyone Adrian has ever met. He confuses the kid. Jamie knows there is something that Adrian is hiding. And something he's hiding himself. Jamie is actually gay. It's the reason he's moved so much, because none of his other schools are willing to accept it.Could things change when Jamie realizes he's falling for Adrian? And worse, kids in the town are being kidnapped by a strange van. What will Adrian do once Jamie is one of those kids? ~Yes, this is boyxboy. It's my way of saying that being gay is freaking awesome and I think there should be more romance stories with gay relationships, not just straight ones. So, don't like? Don't read and don't waste my time with homophobic crap.Thanks. Also, comments are wonderful!~

Love in Denial by anjalichettri12

Ohm has always been confident in his identity-a straight guy with a loving girlfriend and a carefree attitude. Flirting has always been just a game to him, something harmless and meaningless. So when he starts teasing Leng, his new classmate, he thinks nothing of it. After all, they're both guys, and it's just for fun... right? But as the playful banter turns into lingering stares and an undeniable tension, Ohm finds himself drawn to Leng in a way he can't explain. The more he tries to convince himself it's nothing, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth. He isn't just playing around anymore-he's falling. Trapped between the life he's always known and the feelings he never expected, Ohm struggles to accept the possibility that he might not be as straight as he thought. And in a world that refuses to understand, loving another man feels like the greatest risk of all. Will Ohm find the courage to face himself and the judgment of others, or will he let fear dictate his fate?

What Was Left At Camp by BrendanJG

I wish to edit this story and make few changes but I am wrapped up in others. This is my first attempt at writing so... hope you like. Edits may happen in time but for now, the story will remain as is. At the age of Seven, Christian came out to his parents. His parents accepted him with open arms but with concerns the world may not, they took matters into their own hands. They raised Christian to be a confident, strong minded young man with the capability of defending himself both mentally and physically. Christian was ready to tackle the world and everything he loved, including Football. At the age of fourteen, he decided he would spend his summer at a well known football camp to perfect his skills. That's where he met his first love and boyfriend, Billy, who disappeared the last week of camp. Four years later, when a new student named William transfers to his school, it throws Christians life into chaos. William reminded Christian of Billy. He was convinced his lost love had been found. One problem, William insisted he wasn't this Billy person Christian assumed him to be.

Crossing Lines by coraleigh24

"You're so fucking annoying." Jake just shook his head at me. "And you're a self centered uptight dickhead." I glared at him. Jake laughed lightly at the insult. "You have such nice things to say about the guy that just fucked the shit out of you." - Evan and Jake hated each other. That was the one fact everyone knew. Captains to rival football teams meant that they were constantly at each other's throats. Everything turned into a way to one-up the other. But then the two boys find themselves alone in a bar bathroom and soon they are stuck in an enemy with benefits arrangement that can only turn messy. ⚠️Content Warnings- Sexual content, abuse, homophobia {book one in Crossing Lines series}

Trust? by artsykid04

Easton King has had a hard life. His parents abandoned him as a toddler and he's been from home to home for as long as he can remember. Nobody seems to want him, they just keep him for a little and eventually they all throw him away to be somebody else's problem. Because of this, he has never been close to anyone. He's learned from a young age that he can't trust anybody to stick with him. Don't get me wrong, he still has friends. In fact, Easton is one of the most popular boys in school. No one knows about his home life because he never talks about it and never hangs out with people outside of school. Derek Danvers (his friends jokingly call him DeeDee) has had a better life. He lives with his family and they are loving and decently forgiving like most parents are. He has suffered from depression and anxiety but not nearly as severely as Easton. He lives his life one day at a time and he doesn't depend on his friends but he trusts that they'll stay by his side, and if they don't then it's for the best. They didn't deserve him. Everyone in the school knows Easton puts up walls. No one gets within two or three feet of him, no one asks about his home life, and no one asks if they can go to his house or if he can go to theirs. He has rules everyone knows. What happens when someone finally tries to push the rules? To build up the trust one once lost? Read to find out **Edited

"A mate will love you and only you. No other can compare to you and he or she will treasure you above all and everything in the world," mommy says to me as she kissed my forehead. I sighed dreamily. I can't wait till I find my mate. He'll be perfect and handsome and funny and smart and brave and beautiful and he'll love me... only ever me... and... and... Present This hurts so much. Seeing and hearing and knowing my mate, the one who's supposed to love me above all, me, only me is in love with somebody else. I'd hate him if I could. I'd reject him if I could... I wish I could. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Important My books are written explicitly for a MATURE AUDIENCE 18 YEARS AND OLDER.
