SLOW BURN!
sometimes living as close to your dreams as possible without actually being able to reach them is a compromise as in "this is as good as it gets. Or at least that's what we tell ourselves if we've given up on them completely.
And that's how it usually stays, as a comprise.
Unless you're lucky enough to have those people next to you , not only because they believe in you, but because they make you believe in yourself and that you can have each star in the sky that you've reached for your whole life.
They know that those stars belong here, shining in your eyes as you fulfill each and every one of your aspirations.

When No One's Watching
He draws constellations on his sneakers and disappears in a crowd like he was never there. The other lights up every room he walks into-too loud, too much, and somehow still lonely. One hides behind silence. The other behind a smile. And when their worlds finally collide, it's not fireworks- It's quiet. Slow. A little bit painful. At a school where people only see what they want to, one boy is being hurt in the moments no one's around. And the only one who sees it? Pretends not to-until he can't anymore. A slow-burn love story about unspoken things, hallway bruises, unshared lunches, and the terrifying softness of being seen.

While the characters and events are mostly fictional, some emotional experiences were drawn from things I've seen or felt in passing.

Where the Sun Finds Us
🌤️ Where the Sun Finds Us Sometimes, the light you've been chasing... finds you first. In the middle of her midlife crisis, Lei thought the chaotic part of her life was finally over. But sometimes, in the midst of all the noise, that's where new stories begin. One day, she receives an unexpected scholarship to Celestra Republic's most prestigious academy - a school for the nation's brightest minds and top celebrities completing their mandatory academic enlistment. Lei's plan was simple: a fresh start. Quiet. Far from everything that once hurt. But instead of peace, she found five of the country's most famous personalities - each carrying a secret behind their spotlight. A golden-retriever boy with tired eyes. A med student who laughs to hide his guilt. A gentle heir who has everything, except the courage to be real. A composed idol adored by millions but haunted by a past he can't face. And his best friend - someone who somehow feels familiar, even though they've just met. But Lei is different. She's the contrast - the calm to their chaos. She was raised in a home filled with warmth, where love was steady, laughter was constant, and kindness was taught not through words, but through how people treated one another. And that kind of upbringing - she slowly begins to bring it back to the people she meets in Celestra. To those who've forgotten what real happiness feels like. To those who've learned to fake smiles just to survive. Because that's what she was taught - to give the same gentleness she was once given. To be the kind of light that doesn't blind, but heals. And maybe, as she helps them find their own sunshine, Lei will learn how to become the light she's been searching for all along. Because sometimes, you don't have to chase the sun. Sometimes, you just have to be the warmth someone else has been searching for. ✨ A story about kindness passed down, love rediscovered, and how the way we're raised can shape the light we bring into the world.![FOCUS [BXB]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/403189039-256-k154097.jpg)
FOCUS [BXB]
Like a bolt of lightning, this stupid boy appeared in my life. First day of summer break between first and second grade, he just appeared- standing on my porch like he was born there. Straight brown hair, wide dark eyes and a fresh sunburn across his cheeks. He was already talking before I even opened the door. I don't know how it happened but it's been ten years. And he's still here. Talking, whether or not I'm listening. Laughing, even if no one else is. He's still too quick- racing around the world like he's scared he's going to miss it. He's gotten taller...much taller. His hair is a little longer, a little wavier, but under the light it still looks the same golden brown it did when we were nine. And now, finally, he was a high school graduate. We both were. Like a bolt of lightning he appeared and like the sun he refused to disappear. _____________________________________________ I fell asleep with my chin pointed at him, the outline of his face being the last thing I saw. How was I supposed to do this? It had always been difficult, hiding this secret, keeping him close. But now, my focus was starting to slip. I couldn't see anything but his lips, his hands, his smile. I couldn't hear anything but my name in his mouth, his jagged breaths and that loud laugh. How am I supposed to be okay with this? How am I supposed to focus on anything other than him? #1- slowburn- 11.10.25🥇 #1- friends to lovers- 11.01.25🥇 #1- fluffandsmut- 11.02.25🥇 #1- college- 11.06.25🥇 #1- best friends- 11.12.25🥇 #1- teammates- 12.04.25 🥇 #1- college roommates- 12.30.25🥇 #1- mental health- 01.02.2026 🥇 #1- gay love- 01.02.2026 🥇 #2- roommates- 12.18.25🥈 #3- bxblove- 11.30.25🥉 #4- boyxboy- 11.01.25 #4- lgbt- 11.15.25 #14- boyxboyromance- 12.15.25 #22- basketball- 12.15.25Complete

My Untold Love story
Two quiet souls. One undeniable pull. They don't speak, but their eyes do. A connection that builds in silence, where every glance feels louder than words. What happens when noticing turns into needing?Complete
When The Lights Went Out
A soul withdrawn from the world, finding comfort only in silence, carries a wound no light can reach. Shadows are safer than connection, and solitude becomes both refuge and prison. Into this darkness steps a spirit unbroken by blindness, one who chooses kindness even when life has offered only pain. Where others see loss, there is still light; where others turn bitter, there is still grace. A tale of contrasts, of wounds and wonder, of two hearts bound by fate yet destined to fall apart.
The Guy I Could Never Have
Some people arrive quietly. No fireworks. No background music. Just a look. A name. A violet shirt in a white room. You don't realize it's the start. Not until you're too far in. I didn't fall for him the way stories say you should. There was no moment of knowing. Just a slow ache that built between library tables and half-finished coffee cups. The kind of love that feels like a question no one teaches you how to ask. We were never official. Never obvious. We were playlists. Eye contact. A sentence that almost sounded like confession-until it didn't. And somewhere in that space between almost and never, I became someone I didn't recognize. Someone quieter. Smaller. And then... someone who walked away. This is not a story about the guy I ended up with. This is about the one I couldn't have. The one who arrived too late. The one who taught me that not all love stories need a happy ending- Some just need a girl who finally chooses herself. And this time, I did.Complete
Almost, Always 🍁🥀
"Almost, Always" 🍁🌹 Some people enter your life like whispers...soft, sudden, and gone before you can hold on. She didn't expect to see him again. Not after years, not like this. Not when she had finally learned how to forget the boy who never truly left her mind. But fate isn't loud..it's quiet, casual... cruel. In a classroom filled with noise, their glances screamed stories. A slow-burn connection, unsaid words, and almosts that could've been everything. This is not a fairytale. This is a memory rewritten..with the ending she deserved.
When I said that I wanted to be different, of all the ways possible I didn't want it to be this way. I just feel like I am being played by my own words and I am being betrayed by myself and my mind, it is also not much of a help. . . . "You know, what makes the night sky even more beautiful, because our loved ones are there. Every day people lose someone they cherish and they go up there and join other stars. This is why they are so beautiful".
