Once in a Lifetime {BxB English}
They say you only fall in love once.
For Ody and Mano, that once changed everything.
In a world where love isn't always safe, and pain comes hand-in-hand with desire, two straight boys find each other in the middle of grief, trauma, and secrets that refuse to stay buried.
Mano doesn't do vulnerability. Aggressive, tattooed, cold, and impossible to like, he plays the villain on purpose, because being hated is safer than being seen... and losing someone again would destroy him.
Ody can't help but care. Bright, extroverted, charming and painfully sincere, he's the kind of boy who notices when you're hurting, even when you pretend you're not. He remembers your birthday, offers you the last slice, and apologizes even when it's not his fault.
When their lives collide, nothing about them makes sense, except the way they keep gravitating toward each other. Sparks fly, but so do secrets, buried trauma, and a love neither of them is ready for.
One of them hides behind silence.
The other hides behind smiles.
Together, they're wildfire.
But not all fires survive the storm.
The forbidden love between a broken boy and a lost one. A bond that refuses to break, even as the world tries to tear them apart.
