Notes that start from innocent messages to less innocent ones makes him wonder. Will he intrigue himself more in the man behind the smiley-faces, or will he continue his job as detective, and avoid problems? * "You're an expensive art piece," Clay mutters under his breath. But with the proximity they're in, George notices. "I'm an expensive art-piece?" George probes, feeling Clay's breath and his throbbing heartbeat. The two chests that're against each others fail to realise that the others heart is beating so fast. "Yeah," Clay determines, a moment of silence before he continues. "You're hard to get and beautiful to look at." * Read to find out.

Church boy by ykimlame
22 parts Complete Mature
Clay, a troubled teen who does the complete opposite of what he's told. Getting drunk, wearing 'feminine' clothes, swearing in church, being gay. All of the things you can think of to piss off a religious family, he's done. George, a religious teen who does exactly what he's told. He's everything Clay isn't. He's always home on time, he listens to everything he's told and he's straight. He's perfect, right? He's everything everyone wants, so why do his parents seem so ashamed of him? Cover image by @forrestia_ go check out his books! There will be a LARGE amount of homophobia/ homophobic language + slurs in this story. It is completely based off of homophobia and stereotypes so please do not read this if you think it is something that will upset you! This story is completely fictional, I'm not forcing any of these sexualities and/or beliefs onto these people, it's simply just for the story. If anyone mentioned in this story says they are uncomfortable with fanfics this will be taken down immediately
