Sunflowers bloom and are usually cut once fully grown. They're marvelous flowers. Bright and magical, plus they smell absolutely wonderful. The catch is that once they're cut they might never come back, but if they do they'll never be quite as beautiful as they were when they first blossomed. 

My Sunflower loves came in all forms; a boy named Michael, a girl who adored bugs, and a picture taken by a guy I knew as Liam. 

But Theodore Cade Montgomery was determined to make sure he wasn't a Sunflower. 
I am way out of my league when I stand beside him, but he never seems to want to let go of my hand.

❁ ~--

I wish they told me how hard it would be to navigate through dating if you never experienced a relationship in high school. I wish I was informed about the difficulty of approaching and being approached. I wish that it was easier and that somehow I wasn't destined to screw it up.

"Why do you keep calling me Benji?"

"Because anyone can call you Winnie," Theo leans his forehead against mine, his eyes piercing mine as our breath flirts between us. "I can't stand thinking that I'm just anyone to you."

Noah Rollins, your typical all American good looking man and my long time best friend. He had it all the hockey career, the perfect girlfriend and all the female attention one man can handle. I, however was the wallflower, the girl that just blended into the background. The one who never took the risks, in fear of failing. The best friend to someone I so desperatly had loved since I was 13, but didn't say anything. So here I am in a jewelry store helping said best friend pick out a ring for his forever person. My heart told me not to go as I know it would break the moment he found that ring, but my best friend needed me on this important day. Sometimes thought it just takes one little incident to let that wallflower shine bright in that other person's eyes. This is the story of how that happened for Noah and I. Noah Rollins, 26 and the starting centreman for the Detroit Red Wings. He has the life he haf always dreamed of. NHL superstar, smoking hot girlfriend and a best friend he knew would always be there for him. When Noah makes the decision to propose to Anslee, his best friend Tiffany is there to help him pick out the perfect ring. Too bad the proposal doesn't go as planned. Tiffany, 26 and a rising Corporate star in the Red Wings organization. She has always loved Noah, but never said anything to him. Always self concious about her looks and comparing herself to the model like women Noah is always dating. She guards her heart alot while around Noah, but after he comes to her when his proposal doesn't go as planned, maybe there is hope for them yet.

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)

(Short story) "This kiss just sealed the deal. You're mine and only mine now, Grace." His voice is low and rough like gravel and laced with something primal. I stop breathing. The air thickens, electric, heavy like the sky before a storm breaks. Everything stills, but the static between us crackles like it's seconds from combusting. His breath fans across my lips-close, so close-but still not touching. My heart slams against my ribs, erratic and loud, like it's trying to break free from my chest. Then his hand finds my jaw. His palm is rough, warm, grounding-but the look in his eyes? That's a wildfire. Just heat and hunger and something darker. "I..." The word is a whisper, barely there, shaky and useless. I can't finish it. His nose brushes mine in the softest graze, but there's nothing innocent about the way he's looking at me. Like he's seconds away from tearing me apart. Like he's been starving for this. "Say something" he murmurs, voice thick, his eyes flicking to my mouth. My lips part, not to speak, but because I need to breathe, to taste the tension curling like smoke around us. His thumb drags across my lower lip, slow and deliberate. My knees damn near buckle. I grab the front of his shirt, clutching it in both fists like he's the only thing tethering me to the ground. He leans in closer. And then his lips brush mine. Barely. A whisper of a kiss, soft enough to make me shiver. Then he kisses me again.
Apricity by eclipsedsun
7 parts Ongoing Mature
Apricity [noun] - the warmth of the sun on a cold winter's day. - - Noah spent his days trapped in the frostbitten monotony of routine - wake up, classes, work, sleep. He watched as people moved, sun-kissed by romance. He envied them, secretly. Having spent the entirety of his life untouched by those rays of light, he had, at last, resigned himself to a life of endless winter. That was until he met Riley. If summer were to take shape, it would choose Riley as its vessel in every universe. Oddly enough, he'd spent his life on ice, craving the cold as his own future built up to be lived beneath the scorching beams of limelight. Could Riley be the warmth of the sun that finally thawed the snow that had piled up around him for years - or would the icy cold end up extinguishing the flames trying to reach Noah?
Alone & Lonely by Apricity_23
17 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
Sunflower by Spicy_Bagels

"In romance, a rose is what's preferred, there's even a show where the one a person loves is based on who they give the single rose to. Ray isn't a rose. He's not preferred. He's more of a sunflower. A sunflower grows in the direction that the sun rises because it loves the light and heat but when that sunflower has no sun, it's just a flower. A sunflower depends on others to be what it was." - - - - - 17-year-old Ray Apollo starts off his senior year with two goals in mind: 1) Get into Stanford University (a scholarship would be nice) 2) Get a life With only two simplistic goals and a college boy with a cute smile by his side to help achieve his second goal, Ray believes that he's finally gonna have control over his life again, something he hasn't had since he was diagnosed with clinical depression but, he should've expected that it wouldn't be that easy. After the foundation he built at the beginning of the year crumbles to dust, he realizes that to achieve the second goal, he needs to learn to love someone he hasn't felt much appreciation for in awhile; Himself.

But fate has its own way of testing hearts, and soon Greg would learn that some goodbyes come not from choice, but from time itself.
