[OLD] Say You Love Me | Boy x Boy

Ben Kingston thought his life was over, and until he jumped from the roof of an abandoned factory building in an attempt to take his own life, it was. In fact, it had ever truly begun. All he ever wanted is someone willing to listen; a confidante, a friend, or if he's lucky, then maybe even a better half; Ben isn't particularly picky. By chance, his attempted suicide is waylayed by a kindred spirit--a kind yet secretive boy named Asher who may be Ben's chance at ending his emotional solitude and reinventing himself.
Asher appears to be more than willing to listen to Ben, and possibly even to help. Perhaps this is the start of a new life--or even a chance at something more. Whether this newfound relationship is meant to crash and burn or blossom into the true love he has always dreamed of, Ben is sure of one thing: he will be there for his newfound counterpart until the bitter end.

Hi! Please see the first chapter for trigger warnings and an important author's note before reading, but there is NO smut, nudity, or major character deaths. I'm a sap for romance and fluff and I don't do heartbreaking endings. Hope you enjoy the story!
