"Part of the problem with the word "disabilities" is that it immediately suggests an inability to see or hear or walk or do other things that many of us take for granted. What of people who can't feel? Or talk about their feelings? Or manage their feelings in a constructive way? What of people who aren't able to form close and strong relationships? And people who can not find fulfillment in their lives, or those who have lost hope, who live in disappointment and bitterness and find in life no joy, no love? These, it seems to me, are the real disabilities." 
- Fred Rogers

Anthony Antra is a typical high schooler, with above average grades and a typical home life, with his mom and younger sister. Oh, and he sits in a wheelchair. 

Ethan Brookend shows up in the middle of the year, and he's immediately drawn to Anthony. They have a rocky beginning, but will it ever lead to something more?

Anthony's best friend, Beck Coppurn, has a long term girlfriend, Bree Ordan, but their parents hate their relationship, and have been working to break them apart for years. The pair want to move in together as soon as they graduate, but they need to find a way to get around their nagging parents.

I pulled myself out as I shut my eyes in pain as little bits of shattered glass tore into my flesh. I managed myself out of the vehicle. I attempted to make my legs work again by standing slowly. I gathered all my strength before attempting to pick my brother up once again and walking as his feet dragged behind us. An explosion rang in my ears and sent me shooting against a tree on a wet patch of grass. Then it all goes black... ...::::...::::... Jeremy Mathews is a nerdy type of emo guy. He was involved in a tragic bus accident on his way from school. He's forgotten minor details of his life like his favorite outfit and color, but he's also forgotten some major things like his parents, his bully, his crush, his friends, his academics, and anything in between. He suffers from severe memory loss, no scrapbook can save him from this one. Martin Valve is Jeremy's bully. He's hated him since as long as anyone could remember but... no one knows why. Joyce Valentine is Jeremy's best friend and defender. She's always there for him. He can always find a safe place with her, including when he loses his memory. Xander Timmons is Jeremy's crush. He's the greatest guy you'll ever meet. Quarterback of the football team, nice, smart, and an all around good person. Will he be able to help Jeremy remember the details of his entire life, or maybe just the minor one that is, Xander. Xander has always been fond of the younger boy. He doesn't know why but he does know he cares for him, a lot. All Xander wants is for Jeremy to be the same guy he used to be. The nice, charismatic, loving, and sweet guy he's so used to. He'll do anything to get him back. (Sorry for the poorly written description) *complete* *In editing*

Shut Up (Boy×Boy)

22 parts Complete

Guy looked at me with a serious expression on his face, "You know James, it seems to me like you might have a crush on me." I immediately got defensive, "Shut up." ----------------------------------- James is the nerd of the school, focused on becoming a doctor. Guy is hard on the outside but soft on the inside, aiming to become a musician. The two make the best of friends but when Guy comes back from holiday, he begins to see them as more than that. Throw in a crumbling friend group, the messy divorce of James's parents and an opportunity for Guy to gain a scholarship to music school and the boys find their lives turning upside down. Will they pull through, or fall apart?
