"Your eyes don't lie Evans,"

"I'm not even looking at you." I mumble.

"Exactly," He taunts me.

I turn to him when the silence between us was getting too thick. It's like we were playing chess, and I knew it was my turn. I kept my eyes on his beautiful golden circles that could welcome an abyss of pain and beauty all at the same time. I didn't know whether to run for my life or  stay and find out more.

Count The Stars by sunburststrat

Elijah Rosen, an introverted seventeen year old with a love for football, sneaks out almost every night to get away from the problems he faces during the day. He feels like his anxiety is taking over his life, and the only place he can go to escape it is the pitch black night right outside his window where he can be alone and let his thoughts run wild. But after he finds Adam Chang sitting at the bottom of an empty pool in the early hours of the morning with puffy red eyes and bruised hands, he begins to find comfort in something other than the dark. Only, Adam has a few problems of his own. And with pressure coming from his family, his friends, his school, and his own mind, Elijah isn't sure how he'll make it through the year. ------- "I think if you weren't here, I wouldn't be okay. I'd..." I trailed off, not wanting to say the words that we both knew were true. "Hey," he said softly, "I'm just glad I'm here, then." He started to let go of me, but I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him like I never had anybody else before. "I'm glad you are too." (featured by FreeTheLGBT: 1/13/2022)

Leaving a troubled past behind, Dylan starts his first day at a new high school.

He's the guy with a face of stone and eyes as cold as a winter's night - a guy without a heart - or so it would seem... They won't like each other at all, they will hate - hate each other senseless.

Nathaniel Jean's Senior Year by stayonbrand

At first glance, nobody would be able to tell that Nathaniel Jean had a problem. Or second glance, or third, or fourth. After all, he had everything. He was a captain of his school's soccer team and one of the top players in the state. He had a big house and money to spend. He had family, he had friends, he had fun, he had faith. He never meant for it to happen. He never wanted to look at another man in the way he should have been looking at a woman. The idea had disgusted him for most of his life - living in a heavily Catholic town with heavily Catholic parents, homophobia was the only response he knew. That didn't change when he first realized that he didn't like girls. No, Nathaniel Jean was still homophobic. He hated the idea of a man sleeping with another man. He was raised on the notion that all gays went to hell, and he believed it. He despised them, and so he despised himself. Nathaniel Jean was more fortunate than most, because help did arrive for him. Help by the name of Lucas Morgan, they boy he'd always known but never known. The boy with big dreams and bigger talent. The boy that changed Nathaniel's life over the course of their thirty-six week long senior year.

Treat You Better (Adam Lambert) by xoxowhatsername

"You're light." Says Adrian as he softly strokes my cheek. I flinch at his touch. He looks into my blue eyes, his golden eyes searching my blue eyes. "You're my light....my beautiful light." His lips delicately make contact with my own. I close my eyes, closing the gap. My hands lay on his cheeks. "Please....don't hurt me." I whisper. Adrian softly pulls away, then pecks my lips. "I-I don't want you to end up like Drake did with----" "Fuck him." He says possessively. "He gave you up, now its my turn....but I'm going to treat you the way you're suppose to be treated." "I love you, my Dark Adrian." I whisper as I search his pretty golden eyes. He smiles and strokes my cheek, then kisses it. His lips softly kiss around my jaw, then down my neck. I whimper a little bit and that was enough for Adrian to stop his actions. "I love you more, my Light Adam." He whispers. "I'm going to treat you better than he did. Your body has enough marks....you don't need more."
