Rye always wondered why he was different, it didn't seem like he belonged in any group and everybody else knew where they belonged. So he used lies, fake laughter and excessive porn to cover up. Blending in with friends and pretending to be who he isn't became the order of the day. Well, until he met Evan, the boy with bruises. He couldn't understand why he always shrunk 2 feet smaller whenever his eyes met with Evan. Why Evan was suddenly everywhere and why he laughed uncontrollably and didn't lie once in his presence. It felt like the love books and movies talked about, but it couldn't be because he wasn't gay. Gay was nails, colors and pencil jeans and he was none of that. Tried as much as he wanted but he couldn't stop the pull to Evan and what he wanted to clothe under the umbrella of friendship quickly blossomed into something else. Never had Rye seen himself putting his life on the line for someone... Well, meet Evan.![Where It Hurts to Hope - Martin Urrutia X Juanjo Bona [juantin ot23 au] ✓](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/375073819-256-k875412.jpg)
Where It Hurts to Hope - Martin Urrutia X Juanjo Bona [juantin ot23 au] ✓
*completed story* Forced into the military at a young age, Martin Urrutia has spent the last two years becoming a soldier his father could be proud of. Even if it means losing himself in the process. Now, twenty and recently promoted to lieutenant, he's cold, disciplined, and dangerous. But nothing in his strict world of war and orders prepares him for Calp. It's a quiet coastal town meant to be a temporary assignment... until Juanjo. Juanjo Bona, twenty-one, lives a quiet life helping at his family's store and losing himself in books . Where love is allowed to be soft, messy, and real. But when Martin walks into his town and his life. Juanjo finds himself drawn to the fire behind the soldier's eyes, even if it's buried under layers of anger, pain, and secrets. What starts as a tense, unexpected connection turns into something neither of them can control. Juanjo knows Martin is dangerous for his heart, his peace, maybe even his future, but walking away feels impossible. And Martin? He's spent years learning how to survive but not how to feel. In a world where love isn't always safe and timing is a cruel game, their story is one of burning tension, emotional wreckage, and the kind of longing that could destroy them both. Because some battles aren't fought with guns, yet they're fought with hearts.Complete
Just some boy
I didn't think it would matter. I didn't think he would remember me. It was just a few hellos after school, a few casual conversations. But now it's summer, and somehow I can't stop thinking about him. About his texts, his jokes, the way he says my name. I told myself it was nothing. He's just some boy. Some boy I can't stop thinking about.Complete
Home is a Four Letter Word
(Book One) Jake Holmes hadn't put much thought into what home meant until Connor Morgan asked him to. He had settled with an idealistic fantasy. A life in the closet, complete with the girl he could bring home to momma, a house next to his best friend, and 2.5 kids. It didn't require thought, it didn't require confrontation, and it sure as hell didn't require him to reject everything he had ever learned about what life was and what made it worth living. But Connor did. Connor wasn't meant to happen. He ended up in Jake's life by chance, but Jake kept him there by choice. Connor was a pipedream stuffed away inside the ridges of Jake's mind that dared him to question everything for a life of authenticity. A life with Connor was something close enough to touch if he only knew how to reach for it. Jake's feelings for Connor become unmistakable, but the grip his past has on his ability to embrace the possibility of a life where he lets those feelings win threatens to leave him with a desperate choice he isn't equipped to make. As Jake struggles to find home within his identity, he is forced to combat the part of his heart that is stuck in the past with the part of his heart that yearns for a future. What is home if not where the heart is? Completed. Book 1 of 3. Sequel releases coming soon.Complete
