Alex does the same thing everyday, got up at the same time, used the same toothpaste, wore the same outfit. James had never been one for routine, he did what he wanted whenever he wanted, that included falling for who he wanted, and hating who he wanted. They met at an LGBTQ+ group held at their high school every Friday. When they meet for the first time, their lives collide in a mess of schedule and chaos.

The Roommate (boyxboy) -DISCONTINUED-
Everybody has secrets, some worse than others. Some keep quiet about someone they like; others keep in a secret that could put them in jail. Either way a secret is a secret and when someone has one another tries to fish it out. James is a college dropout; he lives with his two good friends Dean and Rodney along with his annoying friend Elliot. He works at a small café, goes to parties and has girls melting at his finger tips like every other hot guy. But he has a secret. James has had a rough life, he’s lived on the streets, been beaten, abused, neglected, addicted, anything you could imagine this boy has done before the age of 24. And yet he keeps going. He may not be the best positive thinker but he will not back down. So when he finds out something about one of his friends he accepts the challenge even if he doesn’t want to just yet. Elliot is in his second year of college being 22, meaning he’s on his second year of living with his three friends in a tiny apartment. He may seem normal but he’s far from it. He’s often called childish, annoying, unpredictable and bi-polar. Among other things he’s bisexual and has a secret that he’s not willing to let out just yet. Let’s just say it’s not what you’d expect.Complete
SophoMORE Love (COMPLETED) (Slowly Editing)
It started in the mere 6th grade in the awkward stage where some boys had cooites and some didn't. James was lucky enough to be cootie-free and totally single. He was just as awkward as the rest of us, but I feel as though he saved his awkwardness and didn't use any of it in the one, and only, class we had together. "Jane! You're daydreaming again!" The teachers would yell at me. "Sorry ma'am." I would sweetly reply. James would look up from whatever he was doing and smile just a little bit, as he knew the daily routine. I daydream, I get yelled at, and he slightly laughs every time. Now, sophomore year. Same crushes. No more cooties. High School. In this dreaded high school, I only have one class with James. One stupid little class. Thanks fate, thanks alot.Complete
