I thought that love was something that was expected of me.

 Love was different when it came to you. It wasn't expected of me, it was hoped for.

"Hey Peach, looks like you're having a pretty rough day." Caelum smirks at me slyly.

I hate those damn pearly whites.

"Stop calling me Peach, and fix your face you look like an axe murderer."

A hot one at that.

Like a bolt of lightning, this stupid boy appeared in my life. First day of summer break between first and second grade, he just appeared- standing on my porch like he was born there. Straight brown hair, wide dark eyes and a fresh sunburn across his cheeks. He was already talking before I even opened the door. I don't know how it happened but it's been ten years. And he's still here. Talking, whether or not I'm listening. Laughing, even if no one else is. He's still too quick- racing around the world like he's scared he's going to miss it. He's gotten taller...much taller. His hair is a little longer, a little wavier, but under the light it still looks the same golden brown it did when we were nine. And now, finally, he was a high school graduate. We both were. Like a bolt of lightning he appeared and like the sun he refused to disappear. _____________________________________________ I fell asleep with my chin pointed at him, the outline of his face being the last thing I saw. How was I supposed to do this? It had always been difficult, hiding this secret, keeping him close. But now, my focus was starting to slip. I couldn't see anything but his lips, his hands, his smile. I couldn't hear anything but my name in his mouth, his jagged breaths and that loud laugh. How am I supposed to be okay with this? How am I supposed to focus on anything other than him? #1- slowburn- 11.10.25πŸ₯‡ #1- friends to lovers- 11.01.25πŸ₯‡ #1- fluffandsmut- 11.02.25πŸ₯‡ #1- college- 11.06.25πŸ₯‡ #1- best friends- 11.12.25πŸ₯‡ #1- teammates- 12.04.25 πŸ₯‡ #3- bxblove- 11.30.25πŸ₯‰ #4- boyxboy- 11.01.25 #4- lgbt- 11.15.25 #14- boyxboyromance- 12.15.25 #22- basketball- 12.15.25 #28- mental health- 11.09.25 #31- coming of age- 11.15.25 #36- roommates- 11.04.25 #60- secret relationship- 11.02.25

I never liked him-my father's best friend, fifteen years older, strict, and impossible. He didn't like me either. But life had its own plans. From sarcastic banter and stubborn silences to fiery arguments and stolen moments, our relationship tested every limit. When love, family, and even a little life of our own came into play, I had to face a truth I couldn't ignore: some bonds are unbreakable, even if they begin with hate.

enemies. "Did I not warn you about staying away from me today?" he says as he looks at my eyes. Deeply. My brain stops for a second. His hand is closed around my neck, his face is dangerously close to mine. And I'm breathing heavily. He sees whatever's wrong with me, and stays still for a second, a small smirk forming in his lips. Then, his eyes find my lips. What the hell is happening? My heartbeat fastens as I hold my breath. And his eyes find mine, again. He slowly leans in. His mouth traces my jawline and face. It doesn't touch me, but he's too close I feel his breath. I don't even realize that his hand has released my throat, and I could freely go if I wanted to. But I'm feeling way too many things at the same time. Why aren't you running, Jess? I then feel his lips on my jawline for a second; and I find my hands tugging into his hair, as I breathe a bit too heavily. He then lifts up his face, lips next to my ear. "So. Fucking. Easy." he mutters. Β© All the characters and the story is owned by me! Thank you.

[BxB] Waking up next to someone after having a little too much to drink was no new, riveting story in this day and age. Waking up next to another boy, when you were also a boy, was a little more interesting, but still nothing to write home about. But waking up in Nico Beckett's sheets? To Wesley, it was a nightmare come to life. ~~~ Wesley Dillon's life was uneventful, and frankly, he liked it that way. He didn't get into trouble, he kept his grades up, he played it safe. He never did anything to rock the boat he was floating in, the calm waters of his lake left undisturbed. Now starting his last year in high school, Wes was content to continue living his life as he always has - but sometimes, and only sometimes, he caught himself wishing that something could make ripples in his tiny world. What he wasn't ready for were the waves that were Nico Beckett - a troublemaker, womaniser, and an incredibly popular boy at his school. He was everything Wes was not. Nico was the type of guy that Wes never wanted to associate with, but after waking up in his arms with panic in his chest and pains everywhere else, he realised that his life was going to get much, much more complicated. It took him everything to try not to drown as the waves pulled him further and further down. But, somewhere along the way, he wasn't sure that drowning was actually a bad thing. ~~~ #1 in romance (29/09/19) #1 in LGBT (07/09/2019) #1 in bxb (07/09/2019) #1 in boyxboy (08/09/2019) #1 in gay (11/09/2019) #1 in highschool (29/09/19) #1 in school (17/10/19) #1 in comingofage (01/10/19) #1 in slowburn (02/10/19) #1 in BL (04/10/19) #1 in lovetriangle (05/10/19) #1 in family (31/10/19) #1 in comingoutofthecloset (08/01/20) #1 in writtenwithpride (19/06/21) #4 in love (07/03/21)

Alone & Lonely by Apricity_23
15 parts Ongoing Mature
He hurt me. While in the process, I hurt myself as well. I love her. While in the process, I know I won't live long as well. I'm told by those closest to me to lower my expectations because I can't even reach them. I'm told by those closest to me to forget about it to avoid the hurt and pain that will follow, but I can't. Every time I see him, he has someone new, someone prettier, skinnier, blonde, and overall...better. Every time I see her, I hate myself even more, with the girl attached to my side to make her jealous, hoping she'd look this way. I try to hate him, I try every day, I try harder to hate him than to love him. I try to hate her, I try every day, but my love is stronger than my hate. If it means to stay close to her, I'll hate her. I'm too ugly. She is just perfect. In every way. She is perfect. Started: 1/07/2025
We Almost Were by sayrawrites
22 parts Ongoing
It was only supposed to be six months. California wasn't meant to feel like forever. New city. New roommate. New rules. I wasn't looking for love - I wasn't even looking for trouble. But somewhere between late-night talks, skate parks at sunset, and parties that tasted like cheap beer and whispered of forever... I met him. We weren't a love story. We almost were.
ECHOES OF VENGEANCE by voiyez
25 parts Ongoing Mature
I woke up in a dark room, bloodied and chained, with no memory of who I am or how I got there. All I know is that the man standing before me is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen-and he's the last person I should trust. Once, I loved him, but now he hates me. As I uncover the shattered pieces of our past, I realize that the truth is darker than I could ever imagine-and that my survival might depend on a love I can't remember.
The Sparks Between Hate and Love by -billieswife
17 parts Complete Mature
They were rivals from the very first glance. Every word exchanged between them was sharp enough to cut, every glance a challenge waiting to be won. Everyone knew they hated each other. But what no one knew was the secret. That hate burned into something else when no one was looking. That behind the arguments and sharp stares lived a dangerous, unspoken truth neither of them dared to admit. Enemies. Rivals. Opposites. But sometimes the line between hate and love isn't just thin-it's electric. And one wrong move might set everything on fire.
