If I could be under your skin, closer than we've ever been. We'd be closer than we've ever been. - Closer, RM.




Sam is perhaps the least qualified person to get into a friends with benefits arrangement. It's not breaking news to say that he's grossly sentimental and famous for his reputation of being the dictionary definition of a sensitive artist.

And yet, after years of being 'just friends' with his first college roommate and one of his favorite people on the planet, he breaks the one barrier he promised himself not to cross: getting involved with Sky Mason.

I'm Your Wreck by writerbug44
39 parts Complete Mature
Liam Howard was a wreck. He had been for two years, ever since a knee injury ruined his soccer career, ruined his dreams, and made him a laughing stock of the community with a viral video of his worst moment. Now, he was still struggling to figure out who he was without the sport and where he'd go with his future when he couldn't be the star athlete anymore. In his junior year of college, Liam was confused about his future and about himself. Things were only made more confusing when he met his new roommate for the year. Banks, an aspiring tattoo artist and expert chicken wing connoisseur, piqued Liam's interest from day one. Which was weird, because he'd never thought about another guy so much, or looked at one as much as he looked at Banks. Junior year steamrolls forward as Liam tries to learn this new version of himself, who he is, who he loves, and how the hell he's going to get through the rest of the year in one piece.

-KIND OF MATURE- "I wouldn't fuck you if you paid me." Well, at least my question is answered. He can get more punchable. We glare at each other, I am surprised neither of us have raised our fists yet. It wouldn't be the first time. "Who says you'll be the one fucking?" I snap back. _______________________________________ Zachary Alvarez has always hidden his broken parts behind his charm, sarcasm and arrogance. He is a complete asshole to most, especially one man in particular who he occasionally wants to lick all over or shoot in the head (He isn't picky). Nothing in Zach's life is constant. All he has ever cared for is himself since nobody else did. A lot of drinks, one-night stands, relationships that he never put effort into and people always leaving, that's all he has ever known. And Everett absolutely hates Zach's guts and hates how his smirk makes him feel triggered. Everett has always been this or that for people, always an image. Most times he doesn't even care, but sometimes it gets irritating. But somewhere both Everett and Zach starts to see each other. All that hate gets a bit too exhilarating. In so many ways... _________________________________________ If you guys are looking for an enemies to lovers with a lot of sexual tension... #1st in lovers #1st in homosexual #1st in bxb #1st in university #2nd in drama #4th in Lgbt #8th in mxm #19th in romance

Most of his friends seemed fully aware of his ridiculous feelings for Mat. In fact, Mat was about the only one who was oblivious. River had been been in love with his best friend for most of the three years he'd known him. But Mateo was bright and fun and confident, what would he want with someone shy and maybe even a little geeky? It's a crush that had to go away if their friendship was going to survive. And then there was the added complexity that, just maybe, River wanted someone who'd tie him to the bed and spank him till he wept. He'd just have to start looking in a different direction.
