My Roommate, My Enemy (BXB)
De'Andre Moore is a driven college athlete navigating the challenges of balancing his identity, friendships, and future while on a full-ride soccer scholarship at Lincoln University. Coming from a humble background in California, De'Andre's life has always been about resilience-raising himself in a tough foster care system and carrying the weight of his father's dreams for a better life. But when he develops complex feelings for his enigmatic roommate, Sebastian Peters, his carefully laid plans begin to unravel.
Sebastian, the privileged but emotionally scarred product of wealth and betrayal, has built walls so high even he struggles to see over them. Beneath his polished exterior lies a man yearning for connection but convinced he's unworthy of it. His history of heartbreak, bullying, and inner conflict creates a tension that De'Andre can't ignore.
As the two navigate the chaos of college life-an explosive soccer team dynamic, the fallout of Sebastian's confrontation with a tormentor, and the lingering shadows of past relationships-they begin to lean on each other in unexpected ways. Alongside their loyal (and sometimes meddling) friends, De'Andre and Sebastian must face their own fears and insecurities, all while slowly realizing that love and belonging might be closer than either dared to dream.
Themes: Love, identity, resilience, healing, and the transformative power of vulnerability in relationships.
