Somebody to Love (bxb) (Complete) by MGLockheart

(COMPLETED) Dylan and EJ came from two very different worlds. Dylan was born and raised in Albay, Bicol, where he was surrounded by the familiar comforts of his school, friends, and everything he had ever known. However, the 2008 recession forced his parents to make a tough decision. They moved to Pine Hill, Manila, in search of a better future. Dylan hated the move. He felt lost and disconnected in the busy city and even more out of place at St. Michael's Catholic School, where the boys looked like models and the girls seemed straight out of high-end fashion magazines. Then he met Eric James "EJ" Medina. EJ was the school's golden boy, an overachiever who excelled at everything. He earned constant praise from teachers and admiration from classmates. But behind the accolades and perfect façade, EJ was lonely. He craved recognition and love from his parents, who always compared him to his flawless older brother. Dylan and EJ quickly became friends, but soon, Dylan found himself dealing with feelings that went beyond friendship. He tried to hide his growing affection for EJ, but the more he suppressed it, the stronger it became. EJ, too, struggled with his feelings, denying them until he couldn't any longer. When he finally confessed to Dylan, they started a secret relationship, knowing that the conservative school and EJ's parents would never accept them. Their love story faced its greatest challenge when someone decided to out them, threatening to shatter the little world they created for themselves.
