Elijah has always been quiet, overlooked, the nerdy, soft spoken baby of the family while his older brother, Asher, is the loud, reckless golden boy, thriving under Friday night lights with his tight knit group of football playing friends.
Among Asher's friends is Jaxon, cocky, untouchable, and completely out of Elijah's league, not that it stops the crush he's been harboring for years.
Between wild parties, secrets, and the ever present chaos of high school, Elijah finds himself caught in a dangerous game as he finally purses his crush on his brother's best friend. But with rumors, reputations, and hidden relationships, getting close to Jaxon might just be the worst mistake Elijah's ever made.

Before I Say I Do [18+][BXB]
Christian Harper has his perfect future mapped out: thriving career, beautiful fiancée and a wedding weeks away. But after a drunken bachelor party, he wakes with scratches, hickeys and a gut-deep fear something happened he can't remember. There were no women at the party. That much is certain. Then he sees matching marks on someone else: Oliver Winters-his fiancée's charming, magnetic younger brother. As Christian digs for the truth, he's caught between guilt, desire and a growing pull he can't explain. What really happened that night? And what does it mean for the life he's built on certainty? Torn between the future he promised and a truth he never expected, Christian must face the possibility that his biggest mistake wasn't a mistake at all. #1 in Gay #10 in Affair #5 in boyxboy #5 in lgbtq+ #10 in mxm #1 in Straight guyComplete
Flowers for Football
(This was my very first story so I can acknowledge that there are some really cringy parts-aka I will be rewriting/revising very soon!) Asher King's life has revolved around putting up an involuntary mask to hide his true self. With successful parents boasting about his 'pretend' success, Asher feels as though the life he is living was never his to begin with, and a home of happiness is far out of reach. While the luxurious life is envied by most, Asher is only followed by social anxiety and suffocation in a life he doesn't want. The only place where he feels like he can genuinely escape is the little flower shop down the street, where he doesn't expect to find the school's star football player. Leo Gaines is Greenville's golden boy who is destined for success in the NFL. One would think that Leo would do anything to keep a squeaky clean reputation, but Leo would do anything to live a life for himself. Everyone seems to love the confidence he oozes but the subtle respect he always values. However, one thing doesn't fit the agenda: he is still coming to terms with his bisexuality. After multiple encounters with the mysterious boy from the flower shop he works at, Leo soon realizes that he can't help falling for the flower boy. Can Leo find the relationship of his dreams while trying to find a future in a world that exudes masculinity? Will Asher finally find authenticity that will break him free from the marionette puppet he is staged to play? Find out in "Flowers for Football."Complete![Levels [boyxboy]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/125205811-256-k798478.jpg)

Makeout in the bathroom
When sixteen-year-old Andrew moves to a new state, he's used to blending into the background. Quiet, brutally honest, and carrying secrets he's too scared to share, Andrew expects high school to be the same torment he's always known. But everything changes when he meets Jaxson-a loud, passionate boy with a soft spot for broken things and a fire in his chest that won't die. Jaxson pulls Andrew into his small but tight-knit group: Elijah, the towering protector with green eyes and a guarded heart; and Cameron, thoughtful but distant, torn between affection and restraint. For the first time, Andrew feels seen. But he also feels vulnerable. As the group faces relentless bullying, the weight of personal traumas, and the confusing layers of sexuality, love, and pain, their friendships are tested. Jaxson fights for Andrew-literally and emotionally-but love isn't simple, especially when it's tangled in insecurity, jealousy, and the shadows of past hurt. When Andrew lashes out and walks away from the only people who cared, he spirals into bad choices and dangerous company, until he and Jaxson find their way back-this time with clarity, and no more pretending. A story of identity, brutal honesty, chosen family, and healing, Makeout in the Bathroom is an unflinching, deeply emotional journey through the chaos of teen life, and the quiet moments that make survival worth it.
