Whenever anyone heard the name Luca Mills, they thought of the sarcastic senior who was known by many, but was only seen talking to his cousin and childhood best friend.
Nobody thought of the boy who lost his mother. Nobody thought of the boy who lived with his alcoholic father. Nobody thought of the boy who suffered from depression.
And Luca liked it that way. He didn't want others to know how weak he truly was under the perfect boy facade he had worn for years. He felt his depression wasn't something to be proud of, because he knew every person around him would act differently if they knew how messed up his mind was.
But after years and years of battling the demons that lived in his mind alone, will Luca Mills finally find someone who can help him escape the demons that lived in his head?

Oh How Times Have Changed
Eighteen. It's that time in your life that's nothing if not subjunctive: the mood you use when something might or might not have happened. It's a time that's full of change. Leaving school. Going to University. Leaving home. Saying goodbye to past people. Welcoming new people. Everything becomes different all at once. Parts are hard. Parts are easy. All of it: unavoidable. *** Approaching the end of his final year of education, Andy Williams feels lost. Life feels directionless and he craves something that he's not sure even exists. Going through the motions of life with no passion left to give feels numbing until he meets a friend that shows him there's light at the end of the tunnel.Complete![CARNIVORE [MxM+]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/334623655-256-k494539.jpg)
CARNIVORE [MxM+]
{MxMxMxM} "I'm everything I can't be, and I hate it. But I can't do anything about the situation I'm in, so I'll have to deal with it. " .... Tycho Black was struggling with a few things in his life, with no one to save him but himself. He didn't really care, though, considering it was easy to block out unwanted things. Whether it was thoughts, physical or emotional pain, or anything else-- at the end of the day, none of it mattered to him. He didn't care that he could possibly feel some sick attraction to men, even though he had never felt attraction before. He didn't care about going home and being met with nothing but fear. And he certainly didn't care about Alexei Abbots or the other older and mysterious men Alexei was associated with. Alexei, in particular, though, was just a little weasel that wouldn't leave his mind. He thought he could block him out like every other person, like every other male that made him think in such a bad way. But somehow, for the first time, he couldn't force himself to forget the expression on the boy's face when his fist collided roughly with his jaw. ~ Alexei Abbots was happy. Really, really happy. He was open, free, and accepted by the two best women he had ever met, who completely turned his life around. Not only was he welcomed with open arms by his two mothers, but he was also met with the arms of two men he had a mutual fondness for: Riley Worthright and Xavier Mendoza. He was on top of the world, and his not-so-gentle past wouldn't change that. Neither would Tycho Black, the aggressive bully on campus, who seemed to get off on being a homophobic a-hole.![Levels [boyxboy]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/125205811-256-k798478.jpg)

Beautiful Mistakes || Luca x Alberto <3
I won't be continuing this story. There won't be anymore updates or anything like that. Nothing against anyone, I've just lost interest in it and the movie. Thanks for all the positive comments and feedback 💖 Ever since Luca and Giulia came back from school, both he and Alberto have been feeling something that was hard for them to explain, or even figure out. Every time they were around each other, this feeling grew stronger. Alberto ignores this, but Luca, as curious as he was, wanted to know what he'd been feeling inside for so long. Even before seeing Alberto again, he'd been experiencing these new feelings. They knew everyone was comfortable with them being sea monsters, but what would they do if they found out something else about them? Something that...could possibly put them both in danger again. -Just so u know, Alberto is 15, Luca is 14, and Giulia is 14 in this story. (at first I thought she was 12 in the movie 💀) -Most of the story is just going to be them figuring out their feelings for each other, but there will be some fluff/romance. And if u like long fanfics, then you're in luck. - Every drawing in this story belongs to me. Credit me before stealing them 😘 Warning: homophobia, violence, depressing moments, mild cussing.

Mr. Match (BoyxBoy) ✓
I'm Finn Vasco but that's not quite important right now. I'm a pretty sarcastic guy if I'm gonna be honest. I'm closed off and I literally only have one friend. I might hate everybody in my school... but there's this guy there. He's... let's say, dreamy, someone who I thought would never even acknowledge my existence. That guy who was too damn good to be true, who was too good for me, who was too good for... everybody! You get what I'm trying to say. He's that cliché king of the campus and a popular and attractive heartthrob and with just one wink, he can send people on their knees... That sounded so wrong, anyway. So can you blame me for being over the moon when one day, he approached me only to what? ...To ask for my help courting my freaking best friend. I knew it was stupid for me to hope I'd even have any chance with him anyway. So I just agreed to help him. Even if I was hurting myself and potentially my best friend in the process, my best friend who has been there with me through the thick and thins, I still did it... I mean what could go wrong besides literally everything? So my plan was to just set my crush and my best friend up, and then everything would be alright... right? But of course, life doesn't like it when people have it easy. *** Highest Ranking #2 on #lgbtfiction #5 on #boyxboy #6 on #gay #8 on #teenfiction *** ~ WARNING: This story contains strong language and bullying.
