Shin is a soft-hearted boy who finds comfort in the quiet corners of the school garden, preferring the peaceful company of nature over the noise of academics and competition. Alex, on the other hand, is the school's golden boy - top of his class, student council president, and admired by everyone. Their worlds couldn't be more different, but everything changes when Alex sees Shin one afternoon beneath the cherry blossom tree. For Alex, it's love at first sight - a quiet but overwhelming feeling he can't shake.
As Alex slowly works up the courage to approach Shin, their quiet moments under the cherry blossoms begin to bloom into something more. But with Alex's reputation and Shin's quiet nature standing between them, can love find a way to grow where it's least expected? A soft, slow-burn story about love, courage, and finding peace in each other's hearts.

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

30 Years
Ito Haruto was lucky - he just managed to get into Tokyo University, where his path crossed with Saito Yuki. He was drawn to him, but he ran from him. It wasn't easy to be gay in Japan in the early 2000's. 30 years later, Haruto is still running from his past. Yamamoto Daiki has searched for Haruto, and understanding of the past and present. He, too, has yet to come to terms with his own life and Yuki. A/N: This story is a love story, set in Japan, but I kept it vague since I've never been there and I AM not Japanese. I do my best research but research only takes you so far, therefore I concentrate more on interactions that could take place anywhere. This could be any university, in any major city that doesn't allow for freedom or acceptance. Time does make a difference! Be proud of who you are, I am proud of you!Complete
