19 year old Teagan Jacobson had been playing guitar for as long as he can remember. It's his constant, his lifeline, the one thing that never slipped through his fingers no matter where life took him. For years, he took gigs in pubs and inns, busking and performing in the streets just to scrape by. It's not much, but it's his.
He had one small problem, however: Leo Tuazon, a boy his age, a pianist who showed up out of nowhere, stealing his spotlight and pushing all of Teagan's buttons. With a blunt tongue and a rigid attitude towards music, Leo is everything Teagan isn't--precise where Teagan is reckless, reserved where Teagan is all too intense.
Never quite finding the same rhythm and wavelength, how long until both boys finally find consonance?

REVISED:The Boy With A Touch Of Cancer (BxB)
"Leo pinned me against the wall with his hips. His hands gently gripped my wrists, keeping my arms above my head against the cool brick behind me. His quicksilver eyes were filled with such an intense, carnal desire I couldn't even look into them, so I looked over his shoulder. I saw a few kids from the group standing out by their cars who would easily be able to see what we were doing...or at least what Leo was doing to me. At that moment, my mind started wandering to all the things that I could be doing to him right now...but I stopped that train of thought immediately, as it started heading to all the wrong places... All the dirty places. I glanced back at Leo. His gaze was still as intense as it was before. He smirked at me and said confidently, "You can't ignore me forever, Ethan. You're eventually gonna fall for my charms..." Ethan Carter was focused on 2 things. 1. School (obviously) and 2. Getting over ex (it's proving to be, harder than he thought), but now he has to add dying to that list, and suddenly having feelings for a boy. Leo Malone makes Ethan feel things he's never felt for another guy. Leo's sweet, patient, and understanding...the only problem is, he's a guy. Ethan tries to ignore the fact that his heart flutters every time he sees Leo, or that he can't ever stop thinking about him, but if having cancer has taught him one thing, it's that you have to live in the present, as you may not have a future.Complete

Stung By You
I just close my eyes. Feeling him. Smelling him. Just existing close to him. My fingers clutch at his shirt, like it's the only thing keeping me from doing something reckless. Something completely, irrevocably stupid. Like kissing my son's best friend. And it feels so wrong. Oh God. So damn wrong. But then- His thumb shifts against my skin. A slow, lazy stroke. And suddenly, it feels so right. SO DAMN RIGHT. I breathe in too sharply. Mistake. He notices. Of course, he notices. His grip on my hips tightens. "You always this tense?" I force out a breath. "You always this annoying?" Leo laughs under his breath. "Only when I'm right." I tilt my head, and his eyes are already waiting for me-dark, unreadable, impossibly close. His fingers brush just above my waist. Barely there, but enough. Enough to make me hyper-aware of how easy it'd be to- "You wear this every night, don't you?" It takes me half a second to register what he means. The hoodie. His hoodie. *** 💔 She never expected to fall for him. 🔥 He never stopped waiting for her. 🏡 But some love stories don't follow the rules. Jenny Thompson moved to start fresh.

The Boy Next Door
Jax is a walking contradiction-platinum blonde hair, leather jackets, and an effortless, devil-may-care attitude that makes him impossible to ignore. With his guitar slung over his shoulder and a smirk that dares the world to challenge him, he thrives on chaos, feeding off the attention his reckless antics bring. But beneath the bravado, he carries wounds he refuses to acknowledge, masking his insecurities with sharp words and self-destructive habits. Leo, on the other hand, is everything Jax is not-calm, introspective, and deeply analytical. A psychology major with a passion for understanding the human mind, he prefers solitude over socializing and order over unpredictability. Moving into his apartment for the first time, Leo is determined to focus on his studies and avoid unnecessary distractions. But his quiet life is quickly disrupted when he meets Jax. Their first encounter is anything but smooth, with Jax's brash personality immediately clashing against Leo's reserved nature. But despite their differences-or maybe because of them-they keep crossing paths. Jax is intrigued by Leo's quiet intensity, and Leo, despite his initial irritation, can't deny that something is captivating about Jax's unapologetic existence. And then, there's Nate, Leo's best friend, a strikingly handsome frat boy, which wouldn't be a problem, but one late night smoking session caused a problem for Leo in which he realized he may also be attracted to Nate.

"Leo pinned me against the wall with his hips; his hands gently gripping my wrists, keeping my arms above my head against the cool brick behind me. His beautiful, hazy blue eyes -that had turned straight quicksilver, again- were filled with such an intense, carnal desire I couldn't even look into them, so I looked over his shoulder. I saw a small group of kids from the group standing out by their cars who would easily be able to see what we were doing...or at least what Leo was doing to me. At that moment, my mind started wandering to all the things that I could be doing to him right now...but I stopped that train of thought, immediately, as it started heading to all the wrong places... All the dirty places... All of those places involving a very hard part of my body... I glanced back at Leo; his gaze was still as intense as it was before (unfortunately). He smirked at me and said confidently, "You can't ignore me forever, Ethan. You're eventually gonna fall for my charms..." Ethan Carter was focused on 2 things. 1. School (obviously) and 2. Getting over ex (it's proving to be, harder than he thought), but now he has to add dying to that list, and suddenly having feelings for a boy (which has happened once before, but Ethan tries to forget it). Leo Malone makes Ethan feel things he's never felt for another guy. Leo's sweet, patient, and understanding, the only problem is, he's a guy.

Pages blur into kisses. Genius meets temptation-and suddenly, the only subject left to master is pleasure.

They've lived together; they've lived apart.
