It is a Las Vegas night. 

Lowell Calais is bored of the superficial smiles that hid jagged teeth behind pulled back and painted lips. Nothing in this pub interests him. 

They said the pub is where all secrets could be told, a place where one can spill everything without care. A place to find something. 

He never believed that sort of loosely weaved lies. Just another marketing quirks, he always thought. 

"Sooner or later," his friends have always told him, snickering. 

He didn't believe it at all. 

Then, amidst the crowd, he sees the dancer. Stretching his arms as if they are wings of a swan under the guise of a human. Swaying his bodice as if it is a willow sweeping over the calm surface of a pond. 

Kissing Lowell's lips as if nothing else cares, as if they are the most enticing flower in the area, and the dancer's heart-shaped lips a willing and passionate butterfly. 

Sooner or later, and so it will be. 

They said the pub is the place to find something. Lowell found Jules Horus, and now instead of spilling secrets, he has a secret to keep in the pub, just one of the many secrets he kept locked in his heart, back in the American city of light.

"I want to tell you all my secrets, but you became one of them instead."

ORIGINAL:The Boy With A Touch Of Cancer(BxB) by Jeanne_Wolf

"Leo pinned me against the wall with his hips; his hands gently gripping my wrists, keeping my arms above my head against the cool brick behind me. His beautiful, hazy blue eyes -that had turned straight quicksilver, again- were filled with such an intense, carnal desire I couldn't even look into them, so I looked over his shoulder. I saw a small group of kids from the group standing out by their cars who would easily be able to see what we were doing...or at least what Leo was doing to me. At that moment, my mind started wandering to all the things that I could be doing to him right now...but I stopped that train of thought, immediately, as it started heading to all the wrong places... All the dirty places... All of those places involving a very hard part of my body... I glanced back at Leo; his gaze was still as intense as it was before (unfortunately). He smirked at me and said confidently, "You can't ignore me forever, Ethan. You're eventually gonna fall for my charms..." Ethan Carter was focused on 2 things. 1. School (obviously) and 2. Getting over ex (it's proving to be, harder than he thought), but now he has to add dying to that list, and suddenly having feelings for a boy (which has happened once before, but Ethan tries to forget it). Leo Malone makes Ethan feel things he's never felt for another guy. Leo's sweet, patient, and understanding, the only problem is, he's a guy. Ethan tries to ignore the fact that his heart flutters every time he sees Leo, or that he can't ever stop thinking about him; but if having cancer has taught him one thing, it's that, "You have to live in the present, as you may not have a future."

Love Me (ManxMan) by shyshySun

My parents are possibly one of the most successful human sex traffickers in my home country. Which means they have plenty of people after them. That also means I grew up running with my parents from hiding place to hiding place to get away from Mafia's, Gang's, and the FBI. It was never a normal life and I always felt guilty. I was, after all, the reason my parents got into all of this. Until I met Magnus. His eyes were very captivating and burrowed deeply into my own eyes. And when he made his way over to me that day, I sensed a lot of things were coming to me. I just wasn't ready for the secrets I was oblivious to, to be revealed. ___________________________________________ M a g n u s But my mind traveled back to the boy I saw. His hair was dark, black and his eyes were shockingly purple. His skin was pale but his lips were plump and a light pink. I would do anything to see them wrapped around my- The elevator dinged and I slowly turned to look as the doors opened. My lips pressed together as the same boy stepped inside. "Finally you're back, what took you so long darling?" Claire chimed from behind me and I instantly groaned. Well, damn. "So this is the famous Esmeralda," I droned out staring him. He froze once our eyes locked and I could help but smirk a bit. He definitely amused me.

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.

OPEN [boyxboy] ✓ by flawed-

BOOK ONE Discovering your sexuality in high-school is one of the most challenging things a teenage boy can face. Being closet gay for months, finally coming out, being greeted with a punch in the face and being shunned is even worse. For Julian Douglas, life can't get anymore difficult especially in the face of high school, a restrictive religious mother, and a gorgeous man with a huge following who jumped into his life at the most inopportune time. ::: He felt like serenity. He made me feel safe and I couldn't help but slow my heartbeat down to match his and at once, I felt the tempo of his heart thumping against my back, his breaths on my neck, goosebumps raising. I could feel it when his body finally went slack, when he'd fallen asleep and soft snores emitted. And I thought I was getting better at this breaking down thing... I honestly did but when I was alone, I seemed to fall apart. Endless serenades of how worthless I'd been and how destructive I was; I was a disappointment to literally everyone and I hated it. My breathing became shallow as I cried for the second time that day, finally feeling content being immersed in guilt. A shudder wracked through my body, tears escaping and Paul pulled me closer as he woke silently. Mumbling soft nothings against my skin and kissing it to slow my breathing, he tried to lull me to sleep, "It's okay, you're okay." Refusing to speak -my voice failing me- his arm came up to wrap around my shoulder and I held him there, placing a small kiss to his tattooed skin in a broken sign of gratitude, I must've run out of tears. And I felt at ease.

Stuck On A High by simple4thoughts

"Stop whining like a little princess," Devyn spoke so only he could hear. "The quicker you shut the hell up, the quicker we get this over with." Lexin's pulse skyrocketed as he realized this was actually happening. His scalp burned from the hard grip, but his body welcomed it. Lexin looked at Devyn with shock before his eyes turned to slits, a nasty glare forming. His body jerked when he felt Devyn's other hand rest at the base of his neck, thumb pressing at the dip of his collarbone and throat. The world halted when Lexin felt those soft lips on his neck. His mind went haywire. ~'~ Lexin wasn't depressed. He was aloof, careless, reckless, and had a bad case of insomnia. Which might be symptoms of depression. After his parents pass in a tragic accident, he's forced to move in with Monica Vale, his mom's best friend. Due to his lack of family, she was named his guardian. This would all be good and well. Lexin could go on brooding and driving his life into the dirt. Or at least he could have, if it weren't for her arrogant son, Devyn Vale. Devyn and Lexin had despised each other for years. Since the beginning of eighth grade, they decided they no longer liked each other. Devyn was a goodie two shoes with perfect grades, a captain title for the lacrosse team, a perfect volleyball girlfriend, and an annoyingly large group of friends. Lexin was a bit of a loner. He had claimed the 'bad boy' title at school. Partying had always been his thing, but when his parents died it took a turn for the worse. He had two friends, Christina Faix from second grade and Luca Harrison from the lacrosse team. Other than that, he didn't communicate much unless he was hooking up with some poor soul. Now his lacrosse captain was not only up his ass at school, but also lived with him. The two boys are forced into close proximity and things build up for the worse. What happens when the tension explodes at a game of truth or dare in the middle of a party?

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.

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.
