Five O'Clock Shadow [Gay Romance]

Five O'Clock Shadow, a story by TheOtherOre.

Take the time and enjoy the story of Ore and Zargar, as it unfolds with each chapter!

Ore is an introverted gay man, shy, and unfortunately not out to his family. He likes spending time with himsef, and his pair of headphones, filling the voids of his life with music and podcasts. But sometimes, he finds himself looking at Zargar, and being in awe. Things change, when Ore listens to Zargar participate in class, showcasing an intellect that greatly arouses him.

Zargar is also an introverted man, but for vastly different reasons. He spents several hours a day with a razor, shaving away the evidence that he is not a simple, normal man. As a half beast, he has spent his life hiding a secret from the world, fearful of being seen as a freak. It all changes for him, when he is forced to be talkative in a class, which prompts his average looking, chubby classmate to talk to him.

Five O'Clock Shadow is a story about love, overcoming difficulties, personal growth, and acceptance. Family ties get shaken, new ties get formed, love gets tested, and a secret world is slowly being uncovered in this queer story.
