*THIS WAS WRITTEN IN 2019 "This is our very own Hideaway, Owen!" "Where we don't need to hide away who we are" "Ironic" "I was thinking more along the lines of clever" Owen Evans and Joshua Collins are best friends. They stick by each other's side in a small, deeply religious town where everyone knows everything about everyone else . The pair met in an abandoned field not too far from church, and having hit it off, became inseparable. As the two grow up, they skip church together and do stupid things, their bond strengthened by their shared disbelief in religion. But what will happen when Owen begins to feel something for Josh that he 'shouldn't'? And what then happens when Josh reciprocates those feelings? This pair stick together in a homophobic society determined to break them apart. They are put through hell, but through the secrecy and the ridicule, the abandoned field behind the church serves as their sanctuary. Their story may not be one of cliché triumph, and the road to happiness may be rough and bumpy, but they will always come back to one another in the end. "This place can be our secret, if you like....."

Hold Me Close (BxB) {COMPLETED}. ✔️

Octaveus was depressed. He knew it, but no one else did. He hid it, just as he hid his scars. He wasn't human either; he hid that too. He hid almost everything about himself from everyone, in order to minimize the ridicule. His mental state, his thoughts, his scars, even his questionable sexuality. But that only fed into his sadness. Drew was insecure. He didn't like standing up for himself in fear of saying something wrong. He didn't even change in the main locker room for PE, he went in the stalls. He was anxious. He wanted to know what was happening and when so that he can prepare for all possible outcomes of that event. And he was gay; his family knew and supported him, but no one else knew. He was too scared of how they would react to tell them. Jessie knew his brother would be teased. It was really a fact. Humanity wasn't too good at accepting of different beings. No matter how human Octaveus made himself look, he couldn't hide his unnaturally pale skin that no matter how hard he tried would not tan or his yellow cat eyes. He just had to try to fit in, same as the rest of their family. Seth was the school bad boy, and secret werewolf. His hobbies included pushing around the Freshman, flirting relentlessly with any and every attractive popular girl in sight, and trying not to think about Octaveus. He didn't want other people to find out about his thoughts on the emo new kid. So, naturally, he made Octaveus's school day a living hell. But he still couldn't figure out why this new kid intrigued him so much, besides that he was obviously not human. {BOOK 1 OF THE 'Scars I Hide' SERIES} *CAUTION: Mature for scenes of self-harm and suicide, PG-13 language, graphic violence, and some sexual topics* IF YOU READ THIS, DO NOT SKIP THE INTRO.
