In the dimly lit corner of the schoolyard, I, Travis Phelps, found myself entangled in a conversation with Larry Johnson. The air hung heavy with unspoken tension, my façade of toughness faltering in the face of my hidden truth.
"Phelps," Larry addressed me, the usual cold distance in his eyes.
"What do you want, Johnson?" I retorted, attempting to maintain the mask of aggression that hid the turmoil within.
He leaned against the graffiti-covered wall, and for a moment, the noise of the world faded away, leaving only the two of us. "You don't have to be such an ass, you know."
My heart raced, the weight of my secret pressing down on me. "Easy for you to say," I muttered, avoiding his gaze.
Larry's eyes softened, a hint of curiosity breaking through. "You don't have to keep up this act, Phelps. It's not fooling anyone."
I felt a knot tighten in my stomach, contemplating whether to let down my guard. "You think you know everything, huh?"
"Maybe not everything, but I can see through the act," Larry replied, his tone unexpectedly gentle.
As the words lingered between us, I wrestled with the suffocating silence. Could I summon the courage to confess the truth, to reveal the storm within me? The weight of my father's expectations and the fear of rejection paralyzed me. The secret, like a heavy anchor, kept me tethered to a life of lies.

His Beautiful Pain [BoyxBoy]
My tongue explored his warm, moist mouth. His fingers dig into my hair, softly pulling. I moaned in response, causing him to do the same and then I felt it. I felt my trouser start to tighten, I was getting hard. I lent down to place gentle kissed on his chest. Jay let out a sigh of pleasure that sent shivers down my spine. I'm so hard I barely know what I'm doing. I grind against him. I can't help but be shocked when I noticed that he's just as hard as I am. Completed.Complete

Travis Phelps is gay. It's one of the many things about himself that he hates, along with the chub he sees on his stomach that everyone else says isn't there and the dark roots of his hair that taint the blonde he dyes it. He calls the losers at his school "faggot" in hopes that one day he'll wake up and not be one himself. As though if he acts straight, it'll stick. After a while, the acting becomes easier, until he's almost convinced himself he really is straight. Until Sal Fisher comes to town, and suddenly, with his eye-catching blue hair and his odd face mask, he grasps Travis' heart tightly in his hand. Suddenly, it's not so easy to pretend anymore. spanish version on profile ! cross-posted on ao3. this fic does not have a happy ending. don't like? don't read.Complete
Undercover (Boyxboy)
My heart pulsated through my chest and I didn't think I could hold on for much longer. The frightening, terrorising feeling of his fingers slipping through mine was causing the arm that was gripping to the edge of the cliff to shake. "Hold on, Harry! I've got you, I swear! Please, just hold on!" my voice held a shrill of terror to it and my eyes were filling with tears; tears of pain, frustration and sheer horror. Harry moved his gaze from our slipping fingers to my eyes. "It's okay, Ethan. Let go. You can't save me; not this time." I hated how calm his tone was. I hated how defeated he sounded. He had never given up - we always held hope for one another! We never gave up. "Don't you say that to me! Don't you fucking say that to me!" I roared, a small sob escaping my lips. Harry just smiled sadly, his muscular, beautiful body swaying in the harsh wind. The fall was so big; he would surely die of a heart attack before he hit the ground. I prayed to God he would. No. I was breaking my own rule; I would not give up on him. Either both of us lived or neither of us would. My life would be over the second his ended, anyway.Complete
The Bromance Scheme (boyxboy) (Editing)
I took a deep breath, it was my turn and I was already feeling uneasy about this game. I sat there waiting to hear my 'death sentence'. "Justin I dare you to kiss Jason," Hannah said grinning. I went numb those six words echoed in my ears I froze. If I don't then they would know that the scheme we had for so long was fake and if I do I know it would change our friendship forever. "Well go ahead we all know about the budding 'bromance' or romance shall I say between you two, we just want to see it ourselves," she continued that made no sense to me I wanted to curse her but it was as if my lips were stapled together. I looked around at everyone in the small circle the girls were grinning and blushing , the boys were smirking then I looked at Jason he had the same facial expression. I finally snapped back to reality when I realize she was pushing me towards him.... I took a deep breath and leaned forward.... This is happening because of our little scheme and I guess our sins caught up with us now we have to face them.... I know this will change everything forever....

✔️STRONG [L.S]
"H-Harry please!" I cried, my hands placed protectively in front of my face. His eyes darkened, and he grabbed my wrists, pinning them against the wall. His breath rolled over my face, the faint scent of alcohol rolling up my nose. "Shut up." He growled. His short nails dug into my arm and I winced in pain. He released me, and grabbed a handful of my hair instead. I shrieked in pain as he threw me to the ground. Tears pricked my eyes and I squeezed my eyes shut. "Get up." He said. I opened my eyes, and scrambled to my feet quickly. He grabbed the front of my shirt to pull me closer, leaning down to my level. His eyes burned straight through mine. Chills went down my spine and I bit my bottom lip out of fear. "How many times do I have to tell you? You. Are. Mine." -------------------------- In a complex narrative, where Harry wrestles with the voices of schizophrenia, the story unfolds with uncertainty. The question lingers: Will Harry succumb to the relentless voices, potentially breaking down Louis, or will Louis summon the strength to confront the darkness that threatens him and stand resolute in his own defense? The outcome rests upon the delicate interplay of their intertwined fates, a story of mental struggles and strength yet to fully reveal itself.Complete

Especially not when those second chances come in the form of Noah Rivers. Noah, once the golden boy of their high school, returns home unexpectedly to care for his ailing father. On the outside, he's the same as he ever was-confident, kind, maddeningly put together. But beneath the surface, he's unraveling. Between his father's decline, a toxic breakup he hasn't told anyone about, and a secret battle with insomnia and depression, Noah is only barely holding on. When fate forces their paths to cross again and again-through mutual friends, tangled family ties, and the town's relentless meddling-the tension between them builds. Sharp words give way to long looks. Hatred simmers into something softer. And despite their shared past and all the reasons they shouldn't, Elliot begins to see Noah for who he truly is: broken, beautiful, and trying his best to heal. As old wounds reopen and truths surface, the line between enemies and lovers blurs in the stormy quiet of their seaside town.
