George was elected for the honor challenges, as part of house Santiju, he was expected to win. Especially since he had trained since age 7. Everything goes to plan until he meets another boy, a handsome one at that.
George promised himself to not make any sentimental attachments to anyone and get these challenges over with, but it doesn't really go to plan. Emotions hidden away for years threaten to break out for people he promised himself to never befriend.
6 challenges, the first 5 determining if you're good enough. The last one, The Death Match, determines if you deserve a place in this world.
Only one comes out alive.
Strangers to strangers with benefits to lovers to enemies

Slight nfsw
TW: Blood, panic attacks, violence, night terrors, etc. There will be a TW at the beginning of a chapter if it's intensive but you can't avoid things like, for example, mentions of blood in this story.
CW: Major character death.
Two of the city's superheroes fight villians and protect the city whilst keeping their true identities a secret. They cannot even know the names of each other, their faces disguised by their magical jewels.
Dream is a flirty, cocky and impulsive hero with a sword and a smirk, never failing to cast witty and flirty remarks at his partner. GNotFound is clever and calculated, and can't stand being near the flirty masked hero.
Exams, friend groups, crushes, fights and prom should be their main stressors. But George and Clay barely have time to sleep, let alone focus on anything else.
None of that stops George from crushing hard on his classmate, but Clay's heart seems to be somewhere else. Perhaps with a certain masked hero he secretly spends nearly every day with.
Neither can escape the responsibilities on their shoulders, and they can't tell anyone their problems. The only person that could possibly understand what they are going through, is each other.
But they don't even know who that is.
Which is Super inconvenient.
