Listen, this is the SLOWEST slow burn that ever burned, so bear with me
CW: Some characters experience physical violence, but everything is off-screen to avoid triggering someone. Also, there are a few implied innuendos and sex scenes. I will tell you at the top of each chapter when mature scenes occur in case you need/want to skip them :)

DO YOU REALLY HATE EACH OTHER? (MXMXM)
Theodore Vales 🌸 Do you really hate each other? Because I don't think you do. I've seen hatred before. It is clean. Sharp. Cold. What you two have is anything but. It is fire, restless and consuming. It is tension so thick the air trembles when you walk into the same room. It is silence heavy with everything unsaid, every word buried because neither of you knows how to bleed without drawing blood. And yet-when you reach for me, both of you, your hands brush too close. Your eyes flicker not just to me but to each other, even if only for a second. You think I don't notice, but I do. I notice the longing beneath the fury, the way your anger is only the shadow of something deeper. You both want me. And I-I want you both. But maybe it was never only about me. Maybe it has always been about 'us'. Three. A number most would call too much. Too messy. Too impossible. And yet, in the way you breathe, in the way you break, in the way you burn-I see it. Three is the only way this story could ever be told. So I'll ask again. Do you really hate each other? Or is hate just another word for everything you're too afraid to confess? A story of rivals, longing, and the kind of love that breaks all rules. 🌸🌸🌸☁☁☁🌸🌸🌸 ⚠️ Viewer's Discretion is Advised ⚠️ This story contains mature themes and is intended for adult audiences.

Burning for Him
Between sarcasm, secrets, and stolen moments, falling for Damien was the easiest bad decision Nate ever made. Nate's life? Not fine. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder, he's trying to keep it together one day at a time. But then there's Damien-walking chaos in human form. Charming, cocky, and hotter than the sun, Damien has this talent for getting under Nate's skin like no one else can. Worse? He's tempting. Like, moth-to-a-flame tempting. And those stolen glances Damien gives-like Nate's the most precious thing on earth? They're not helping. Damien is off-limits and trouble-a heartbreak in human form, the ultimate fuckboy. But resisting him? Feels impossible. And if Nate's not careful, Damien might burn his whole world down-and Nate might just let him.

Not the best friend who became her first kiss... her first love... her everything. But when he moved across the world, he left her with nothing but a broken promise and a gold star necklace she still wears like a scar. She swore she'd wait. He swore they'd find each other again. But two weeks after he came back, he was holding another girl's hand. Now it's war. And Lisa's done playing soft. Noah thought leaving Lisa behind would protect them both. He didn't expect to fall apart without her. Neither did he expect to learn the truth-something so brutal it made him question every moment they'd ever shared and see her as a stranger in the skin of the girl he once loved. And he definitely didn't expect to fall into someone else's arms trying to forget the taste of her lips. But Lisa's not the shy girl he left behind. She's colder now. Hotter, too. And every time he looks at her like he hates her, he wants to grab her and make her remember everything. This isn't just a breakup. It's unfinished business. First love never dies. But it might just destroy them both.

FLEEING AND FEELING
"Between friends, unspoken feelings can feel like a fragile thread pulled taut; one denies its existence while the other hides behind its delicate weave, both yearning for the courage to unravel what lies beneath." Ian and Julian, long-time best friends, find themselves in a complicated situation following a wildly inebriated, somewhat unconventional evening, which disrupts their lives. An awkward situation arises! To complicate matters, Julian poured out his emotions that night, only to later dismiss it as an error. Typical melodrama, wouldn't you say? However, Ian possesses an exceptional memory. While Julian hastily dismisses the incident, Ian's keen recollection paints a different picture. He senses Julian's insincerity and detects a discrepancy. Ian isn't one to evade unresolved issues, preferring to confront them head-on. As they deal with the fallout of their actions, conflicting perspectives, and clashes in temperament, emotions run high. The situation intensifies as they confront their feelings, leading to revelations about family secrets and youthful indiscretions. Layers upon layers of undisclosed information, intertwined with a sprinkle of adolescent recklessness and folly. Fleeing and Feeling is a captivating coming-of-age tale of love, secrets, and the often absurd journey of young adulthood, reminding us that sometimes even the messiest of situations lead to the most honest answers. @Mature.Complete
A new family | ✔️
Nini had the perfect life until once tragic accident took her parents from her. Now she lives in Salt Lake City with a new family and a new life. But will it stay this way? One day the past will catch up to her, but will it be to late then? --- Ricky kneeled down next to me and took me into his arms. "I'm so sorry you had to find out this way." I didn't care if he was the person, I was mad at, I just needed to cry. "Let it all out." I just nodded my head against his chest. So, we sat there for minutes. Me in his arms just crying. When I was put together enough to talk again, I sat up. "Why did you not tell me?" He sighed "I was stupid. I had no idea how to bring it up without making you think that I believe them, so I decided not to. That was stupid looking back at it." I crossed my arms in front of my chest "You think?" Ricky nodded "Nini I'm so sorry, I should have told you I know that. Just please don't think I believe them. I know you wouldn't make this stuff up plus I saw some of it too." I started smiling "You believe me?" I asked in disbelieve. #1 niniandricky 5/4/21Complete
