Rey turns out to be a local. Having graduated over the summer, he returns home and applies to Kyle's bakery on a whim. On his first day, he impresses Kyle so much that he is given more to do.
However, Kyle's past comes back like a hurricane at the same time he is confronting the new knowledge of about Rey. One night he makes a drunken decision that changes the course of their working relationship. It's a decision Kyle doesn't remember but Rey can't forget.
As the past merges with the present, can these two figure out which way they're going? Are they going towards one goal? Or will one continue on while the other looks back?

Everything You Do // Cake AU [complete]
❗disclaimer: this was my first ever Cake fanfic. I do not recommend reading it - my other fics are way better❗️ "I've heard so many cynical people say that we're young and dumb, therefore we don't know what love actually is. Yet, no one really seems to know what it is, no one is really able to define it. So why should I say that what I feel towards you isn't love?" -PLEASE READ PROVE YOU WRONG AND I WOULDN'T MIND FIRST!- [book 3] {book 1: Prove You Wrong} {book 2: I Wouldn't Mind}Complete

Circling Back To You
Everybody at Fairview High knew that Kyle Konstantinov, the school's biggest flirt, and Nath Santos-Rodriguez, the football team's wide receiver and biggest mystery, were close. It was almost odd, the stark comparison between the bouncy, friendly junior and the tall, brooding senior. On paper, it shouldn't have worked. But something in Kyle evened out something in Nath, and despite having nothing in common, their personalities mixed like peanut butter and jelly. No one quite knows exactly how or when they came to be, but soon they became a well known concept, as if they had somehow merged the idea of one another into their own presence. They didn't have a label for whatever they were, they just were. Until one day, they weren't. Nath and Kyle aren't high schoolers anymore. They're in their twenties, secure in their lives, put their past behind them. Neither of them have talked to eachother since that day, both convincing themselves that there's no other option - not with betrayal that big, secrets that hidden, lies that oppressive. But by either a devious twist of fate or a stroke of second-chance luck, the universe decides to bring them back together. The paradox only begs the question: can something so strong ever truly be snuffed out? Or is a spark only ever going to light into flame?
