"Fuck- August don't stop-," as I say this, August must come to his senses, because a horrified expression takes over his entire face. And in a moment, all that sweet tenderness between us is gone. He's about five feet away again before he finally gives me one last strained look, turns and runs.

Also the story contains a few things that may need a trigger warning like smoking, drinking, sexual content, I'll make sure to add a tw at the beginning of the chapters with it in them.
High school pretty much sucks for everyone, and this is no different for Reiss Irving. As his life starts crumbling around him in the most cliché ways he finds love (in a hopeless place). More love than he can handle.
As a guy with no self esteem Reiss struggles with understanding why a bunch of guys are suddenly fighting over him.
He finds himself enjoying the attention, but in the end he will have to choose just one.

Have I ever told him I'm gay?
"Have I ever told you I'm gay?" I voice my thoughts.
My friend's eyes widen and his jaw drops open. I honestly don't care that whatever other kids are in class already heard me. "No, you haven't. Thanks for telling me though I guess." he says breathily, his face completely incredulous. My grin widens and I nod at him. "You're welcome."
