Mr. Match (BoyxBoy) ✓ by euwangabrielll

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.

Clusterfuck by logophile_e

Toby Wentworth's life is a clusterfuck. For a lot of reasons. And one of them just happens to be the fact that he is very gay, and also so far in the closet that he's practically in Narnia. But then there's this guy. This guy in his calculus class who winks at him. And suddenly, they're partners for a project. And Toby cannot stop thinking about him. Toby does his best to balance school, work, relationships, and the biggest secret he's ever kept as life goes on. He does, honestly. He tries so very hard. But things like drama, bizarre coincidences, and, of course, his crippling tendency to overthink have been making it difficult, and it's really not fair. But Toby just cannot stop thinking about that boy. And there are times when he wants to hate himself because of it. Sometimes, Toby's life sucks. He'll admit it. But as aggravating as the feeling of being just out of reach of a romance he desperately craves is, there's something... thrilling about it. Something that, no matter how many times he tries, cannot get him to stop this madness. He's in trouble. Absolutely. But maybe trouble can have its benefits. *** cover art by me!

Breaking the Ice by tragicvenus

[bxb] Luke had always suspected that he was gay. There's a very big difference, however, between thinking you 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 be gay, and having a pretty boy naked and underneath you in the backseat of his car. *+*❅*+* Lucas Donovan had always kept his life on a tight leash. Between high school, hockey, and helping take care of his family, there was scarcely room for romance-not that Luke minded. Girls seemed too complicated, too messy, and too damn stressful when they came with any intention beyond quick, drunk sex. The "spark" was all fairytale bullshit, anyways... or so Luke believed. It was funny, really. All it took to change Luke's mind was getting laid in the backseat of the car of a boy with big, blue eyes shrouded in an even bigger mystery. *+*❅*+* Rankings: #1 friendswithbenefits #1 comingout #2 skating #4 boyxboy #8 bisexual #7 ice #22 gay *+*❅*+* Cover Photo: Kelli Clintock Cover Design: tragicvenus

For years, he has maintained that normalcy until he wakes up one day to a whirlwind of misunderstandings that he can't take back that was caused by a mistake his sister made. Within the misunderstandings, one new entity in his life --that is not by design of his own, springs up and somehow weasels his way into Austin's world. Noah. Noah is a new boy in town whose mission in life seems to be centered around driving Austin mad! He himself is shrouded in mystery and, despite his erratic mannerisms, something about him effortlessly pulls Austin to him as time goes by that even Austin's resistance cannot fight against.

My Mistakes: A BxB Story by sugainmytee

Dane has always been Mr. Chill. His friends think of him as the centered, calm, even kind of guy. He plays the piano. Bakes on the weekends. Does good in school. Always follows the rules. Everyone relies on him for comfort and support, knowing he is the poster boy for common sense no matter what the situation. But... Really, he has a past. And it's not pretty. Well, it IS smoking hot but he's not proud of it. And now that his past has come to walk the halls of his high school, his image as the boring but safe nerd is crumbling all around him. === This is part two of Best Friends. It will make far more sense if you read that book first. The description sounds kind of moody and dark, but actually, honestly, it's going to be funny. There's a high school musical, lots of gay sex, and angsty misunderstandings and mix ups. It's my version of Nerd/Jock . Enjoy!!
