Seven Minutes From Heaven [bxb]
37 parts Complete MatureJude Caster adores only three things in his life: His relationship with his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, his dad, and Liam Petry. Sheltered from the secular world, Jude has been raised with strict principles that go against just about everything Liam believes in. But it's hard for Jude to turn a blind eye to these differences for the fear of his looming threat of Hell that his mother and brother would never let him forget about. But he can't help it. Jude likes what he likes!
Liam Petry is a soccer prodigy who is ready to go places but would never leave his closest friends behind. That includes one who's probably gay, one who's probably autistic, and one who'll probably live in his mother's basement for the rest of his life. For all of their faults, Liam adores them, and feels that Jude has just the right quirks to be another perfect fit for their group. And if he just so happens to anger Jude's brother, his rival, in the process, then all the better. Liam is determined to desensitise Jude to the secular ways of the world by proving that physical affection between guys doesn't have to mean "gay."
