Everyone was charmed by Leo's bright smile but behind it all, he could barely keep it together inside. From taking care of his sick mother to suffering mental and physical abuse from his father to keeping up his perfect grades in school.

King was the new kid who had just moved in with his uncle, a shut-in drug boss. He just wanted to finish school in peace. He did not want to make friends and deal with their drama or problems.

But when he meets Leo everything changes, and Leo soon finds all his walls being torn down around King.

But what happens when someone from Leo's dark past comes back to haunt him? How much more will Leo be able to take before falling off the deep end? And what will happen when King finds himself in the middle of a drug war? Will he be able to protect Leo and his family?

Good things don't always happen to good people. Sometimes it's the ones who shine the brightest, who are suffering the most inside.

In Norwood Grove, where gang life defines the streets and loyalty is everything, Devon and Travis walk a dangerous line. Devon dreams of escaping through his art, but his family ties to the Black Vipers keep pulling him back into a world of violence. On the other side, Travis, raised in the Black Fists, is caught between the life he knows and a secret desire for something more. As tensions between the rival gangs escalate, both must navigate the brutal realities of the streets while facing their inner struggles. In a place where love is a weakness and betrayal means death, will they survive long enough to break free of the code that binds them? "That's cool," I muttered, brushing it off. "I'll pick you up after class." I let my tone drop low, meeting his gaze straight on. "Startin' tonight, you a Black Fist affiliate. That's your personal shit now." He took a breath, the weight of it settling between us, nodding as something sharp flickered in his eyes. He wanted this, even if he wouldn't say it out loud.

Before I knew it my shirt was torn away from my torso and tossed on the floor, Charlie's doing the same. Our kiss intensified and I felt him groan against my lips. I swear to god, this boy is making out with me like his life depends on it! And that's when reality punched me in the gut... the words 'this boy' kept running through my head over and over again until it got through the thick fog of vodlka and whatever else was in those stupid drinks. I, Ace Loughty, was kissing a guy. A fucking guy. A fucking straight guy named Charlie Simmons who of course had to be one of the most popular dickheads in Meadow Ridge High. I am so unbelievably fucked. ----- 17 year old Ace Loughty was never one longing to be in the spotlight. In fact, he craved the exact opposite: being left alone. When Ace was 13, the tragic death of his younger sister Eleanor caused him to rapidly gain popularity and pitiful looks. He hated the attention. All of a sudden everyone wanted to be friends with the dead girls brother, they'd promise Ace he would never be alone that they would always be there for him, which he of course knew was untrue, they're all just hungry for attention. Sometime later the school moved onto other drama and gossip, things started to die down and people finally left Ace alone. He moved on with his life, convincing himself he was over Eleanor's death and as quick as the whole thing started, he returned to being lonely, weird, quiet nobody Ace. Just how he liked it. That is until 4 years later when he found himself sprawled out on a bed. With Charlie Simmons hovering over him. Charlie Simmons who was kissing Ace like he would die if he ever dared to stop. Which was all too true. Without kissing Ace, Charlie was as good as dead. *WARNING*: This story will contain themes of severe depression, suicide, abuse and somewhat graphic depiction of self harm. If any of these things may trigger you please rethink reading this story!! Started: January 21st 2020

This story is what I imagine after the confrontation between the minor and major family. ---------------------------------------------------- I regretted the chance I didn't take before, why I didn't choose him. Now he is happy with someone else. What I'm going to do now? What I'm going to do with this feelings I kept for him. Should I fight for it, or I just let him go. ------------------------------------------------------- ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Sneak Peek ⬇️⬇️⬇️ "Venice who you love most Papa or Daddy?" he asked tickling from his side. "Prrrrrr" he answered then giggle. "You silly, go to sleep now I'm going to read a book for okey" he said and we walk to his bed. "I'm reading the book for today" i said and take the baby book from the shelves. Then we all lie down on the bed. We put him between us, and I give his binky because he can't sleep without it. "Pete you have to listen very carefully to this story, because this book is very interesting" I said and wink at him after. "Really I think I read that already" he said while looking at the book I was holding. "And the small box just keep holding it while listening okey" I said again and he showed me that he is really holding it. "Okey let's start reading" I said and take a deep breath before opening the book. Now my heart beating begins accelerate because of nervousness. "Long time ago, there is man who doesn't know how to love. He only knows how to hurt people and followed his Papa's command" I started.

Ethan went to boarding school every year, he didn't love it but it was better than staying home. Every year it was the same, maybe some new classes but he kept the same routine, same friends, and same self-loathing behavior. Things change when Julian starts extending St. Eve's Academy. Everything about him draws Ethan in, his dark hair and sickly pale skin, his quiet demeanor, and his dark eyes that always stared at him. Ethan goes out of his way to talk to him but Julian prefers to keep to himself. A tale as old as time, two kids stuck together at some school, two kids with bad families, and two kids who need each other but have to work past their own issues to finally be happy. --------- blurb - "I was going to ask if you wanted to go for a smoke, but your hair is all wet," Julian said taking in the droplets of water that were left on Ethan's neck, some trailed down his throat, teasing Julian. "So?" "So... You'll get sick." "Now you care if I get sick?" Ethan gave him an amused face, a smile tugging at his lips. "No," Julian sighed composing himself, "Do you want to smoke or not?" Julian said with an edge to his voice. "Sure," Ethan raised his eyebrows and followed Julian outside. -------------- started: 12/3/22 ended: 7/19/23 search "stuck (together)" for a playlist on spotify :) also heads up with story isn't very plot heavy more just watching their relationship together and it develop. also the is not at all an accurate display of addiction #smokingisnotcooldontdoit but seriously don't yell at me bc of how unrealistic their smoking habits are it's just for funnies :P also sexual content lmao read at your own discretion :D rankings - #2 in bxblove - #1 in gayfiction - #1 in badfamily -#2 in gay -#1 in darkacademia -#1 in gayness
