Paper
What do you get when you throw a dozen flying pieces of paper, a writer, a cyborg, a bookish tsundere, a steampunky clockmaker, a photographer, and a gay guy on a bicycle together? BOOM you get a story. These 6 boys happen to cross paths one rainy afternoon when one of them has their writing blown out of their hands and all across the street in front of a coffee shop. They gradually begin to learn more about one another while they wait for a bad storm to pass and experience a rather nerve-wracking event in the process. Later in the week, Ace, the cyborg hacker (and one hell of a chess player) receives an email from an old friend and learns that a virus is being spread rapidly throughout the nation that's heavily reliant on technology. The government and almost everything that's based on technology is being corrupted and there's only one facility that can put a stop to it before everything goes up in flames. The group is called upon to assist in the process since they each have their own unique abilities to put to use. No one knows if they'll be able to get rid of the virus in time or if they'll die trying. Who knew a few pieces of paper could do so much to 6 random strangers.Complete

30 Years
Ito Haruto was lucky - he just managed to get into Tokyo University, where his path crossed with Saito Yuki. He was drawn to him, but he ran from him. It wasn't easy to be gay in Japan in the early 2000's. 30 years later, Haruto is still running from his past. Yamamoto Daiki has searched for Haruto, and understanding of the past and present. He, too, has yet to come to terms with his own life and Yuki. A/N: This story is a love story, set in Japan, but I kept it vague since I've never been there and I AM not Japanese. I do my best research but research only takes you so far, therefore I concentrate more on interactions that could take place anywhere. This could be any university, in any major city that doesn't allow for freedom or acceptance. Time does make a difference! Be proud of who you are, I am proud of you!Complete![MASKED: Rise of the New Generation [Book One ReUploaded]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/387953770-256-k435754.jpg)

King Make Believe
" One advanced, then two. Soon I was running from five of them. My legs ached as branches lashed and scratched my cheeks. They were gaining as the sting in my tendons worsened.

I would keep running and running and running until no more was required of me.
