A story inspired by the song "Toothbrush" by DNCE

Eliot Reyes and Mira Saldana weren't supposed to fall for each other.

They met by chance, bonded over sarcasm and bad cake, and found comfort in late-night conversations and blurry mornings. It started with friendship, blurred into something more, and became a connection neither could define -- or deny. 

When Mira leaves a toothbrush at Eliot's place, it becomes the unspoken symbol of their maybe-relationship. They make rules. They break them. They avoid feelings like they're contagious. 

But the toothbrush stays. 

Until one day, it doesn't. 

In this slow-burn, emotionally raw story about two people trying not to fall in love while doing exactly that, Toothbrush explores the fragile space between "it's nothing" and "it might be everything."All Rights Reserved

In Between Us by chubbymeggy

We're not together. But we're not just friends either. Late-night messages. Almost-kisses. Unspoken feelings hidden behind casual conversations and coffee shop meetups. They never defined what they were-because definitions meant boundaries, and boundaries meant limitations. So they kept it simple. No labels. No promises. Just a connection that felt too real to be nothing... and too fragile to be something. But when emotions get too loud to ignore, and hearts begin to want more-what happens in between us can either bring them closer, or tear them apart. A modern love story about almost, uncertainties, and the kind of heartbreak you can't name.

HIDDEN AFFECTION by author_aryaa

A new story begins... and this time, it's not just about love it's about everything that love hides. Hidden Affection. A tale where emotions run deep even when they're buried beneath anger, silence, and duty. She's fierce, free spirited, and unpredictable a 24 year old with a heart full of spark, rebellion, and unapologetic dreams. He's mature, composed, and everything she swore she'd never fall for a 28 year old man bound by rules, reputation, and silence. They're nothing alike. She's chaos. He's calm. She questions everything. He follows structure. But sometimes, it's the opposites that burn the brightest when they collide. When their worlds crash into each other, sparks fly but not the pretty kind. It's messy. It's intense. And beneath all that chaos... something begins to grow something they both try to deny. A journey that starts with misunderstandings, cold stares, and unexpected encounters... A story where hatred slowly softens into something unspoken. Where boundaries blur. And hearts, unknowingly, begin to lean in. Tropes you'll find in this story: • Arranged Marriage • Professor x Student • Chaotic Couple • Slow Burn Romance • Opposite attracts This is not your typical romance. It's about stolen glances, denial, unsaid feelings, broken rules and hidden care and the slow unfolding of affection that was never supposed to happen. Hidden Affection - By @author_aryaa Creative Collaborator - @ehaawrites We can't wait to share this journey with you.

The Softest Parts of Me (Book 1) by 20animeluver25

Leo is quiet, careful, and always watching the exits. Maddie is loud, steady, and impossible to ignore. Their connection isn't instant-but it's real. And when life starts to unravel, it's Maddie who stays. Even when Leo pushes her away. Especially then. This is a story about falling in love for the first time when your heart is still learning how to beat. About finding safety in someone else's hands... and daring to believe you deserve it. Story Snippet: ---- Then her voice floated out, light and casual: "Leo?" He looked up. The door cracked open a little, steam curling out, and Maddie peeked through-cheeks flushed from the heat, water dripping from the ends of her hair and trailing down the slope of her collarbone. She wasn't holding a towel. She wasn't really holding anything. Just leaned in the doorway, chin tilted up, the corner of her lip quirked slightly. "Can you grab my towel?" she asked, almost too casually. "I left it on the bed." His heart stuttered. "Uh-yeah. Yeah, of course." He scrambled up. "And my clothes? The ones I left out." Her voice lowered just a little, almost teasing. "Also... do you have a zip-up I can borrow?" He found himself nodding before he could think, already pulling the folded towel into his hands, then her clothes-still neatly laid out like she'd planned it. He grabbed her skincare pouch from the nightstand too. Last thing she'd want was to forget that. Then he paused at his duffel, rifling through until he found one of his hoodies. The grey one. Oversized. Definitely too big on her, which suddenly made his brain short-circuit even more. He knocked lightly on the doorframe. "Got everything." "Come in a little," she murmured from behind the door, cracking it open just an inch more. "Just... don't look." ---- - Content Warnings: emotional abuse, coercion, trauma recovery, PTSD, healing after SA - 70,000-210,00 words in total - BOOK 2 IS CONFIRMED!!!!!

CLASS 12: WHERE IT ALL BEGAN by Anuwrites__

Class 12, isn't just the end of a school journey-it's a blur of deadlines, farewells, and moments you don't realize are special until they've passed. Somewhere between the ringing bells, morning assemblies, and scribbled last-minute notes, two students find themselves drawn into a story neither of them expected to be part of. They don't sit together. They don't share a friend circle. And yet, the distance between their rows somehow feels smaller with every passing day. What begins as silence turns into stolen glances. What once felt like coincidencet begins to feel like fate. And in the middle of routine school life-amidst exams, chalk dust, and whispered conversations-a quiet connection starts to bloom. This isn't a story of grand gestures or dramatic declarations. It's a story of slow changes, subtle signs, and the kind of love that grows softly... and stays with you long after the final bell. . . . . . . . . . ✨ TROPES ✨ ➡️ Anagha × Dhruv •Extrovert sunshine ☀️ x Introvert mystery 🌙 •She talks first, he listens harder •To her, he was just a crush.

You Talk Too Much by han8n_akayourdarling

Nicolas didn't want friends. Didn't want attention. Definitely didn't want her. But then Lina sat next to him. Every. Single. Day. She talked through the awkward silences, laughed at her own jokes, and asked questions he never answered. She was chaos in sneakers and bubblegum lip gloss - and he wanted nothing to do with her. ...Until he did. Because somehow, her noise started drowning out the thoughts he didn't know how to escape. And her voice became the only thing that made the silence bearable. This isn't a love story. Not at first. This is a story about a boy who lost his spark... And the girl who wouldn't let him disappear quietly. ✅ Nicolas ✅ Lina ✅ "You Talk Too Much" ✅ High school setting ✅ Healing + chaos + slow-burn (Btw I forgot to add that there will be no smut of any kind in this story. Maybe an innocent kiss or something but nothing else)

Between Quiet and Gold by jules2love

They grew up on the same street. Jude was the boy who always carried a camera around his neck, and Jules was the girl who painted everything she couldn't say. Their friendship started with laughter shared snacks after school, afternoons spent chasing sunsets, and long walks home where their shadows always touched before their hands ever did. At sixteen, they both discovered something unspoken. The kind of pull that made ordinary moments feel cinematic the way he'd brush paint off her cheek, or she'd fix his collar before a photograph. Neither of them called it love, but everyone around could feel it humming quietly. Then came the summer that changed everything. Jude's parents moved away suddenly a new job, a new city. They promised to write, to call, to never forget. But time happened numbers changed, addresses got lost, and life moved faster than they could hold on. Years passed. Jules poured herself into her art her canvases became her diary. Jude built a name for himself in travel photography every frame a silent search for something familiar he couldn't name. Neither of them knew that the other still looked for pieces of their old laughter in strangers. Now, ten years later, fate quietly folds the distance between them. Her art exhibition Between Quiet and Gold opens in the city where he now freelances. He doesn't plan to go at first. But one photo he took an old sketch he kept from her pulls him in. And suddenly, there he is, standing in a room filled with her colors, realizing she has been painting him all along.

Breathe [mature romance] - PREVIEW ONLY by elsetterby

This is a seven-chapter preview of a full-length published novel. Buy links: Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XQYVSVV Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/breathe-76 iBooks: https://itun.es/us/d_Yajb.l Check out the companion novel, Whisper! Free on Wattpad. ********** A GOOD MAN, FALLING APART Small town police officer Simon Labelle repressed his attraction to sexy shopgirl Leona Chaisty for years. He's good at controlling his feelings--or he used to be, before the bombing that he can't solve, that he should have prevented. Now, after a chance encounter with Leona at the lake, Simon can't get her out of his head. All those high school fantasies roar to life. A BAD GIRL, WISHING FOR MORE Leona is drawn to the intensity in Simon's pretty-boy blue eyes, but he's a good man, and she's not just hopelessly kinky--she'll never know how to love. Still, unlike everyone else, Simon acts like she might actually have a heart. The more time they spend together, the more she wishes he were right. A CHALLENGE NEITHER CAN RESIST After a second unsolved case pulls them together, their sexual chemistry rattles them both, and hints at an unsettling fetish that Simon struggles to suppress. Leona pushes Simon to decide what he wants--whether to dominate, submit, or some mix of both--while Simon, already falling for his dream girl, finally gets her to admit that she's lonely. Each challenges the other to reveal more, to cede control, to be vulnerable. But they're both more fragile than they appear. It's only a matter of time before one pushes too hard, and the other breaks. ********** Trigger warnings for depression, suicidal ideation, and possibly alcoholism. Significant child abuse (neglect only) is also part of a character's backstory. There is gender-bending, femdom, and a pretty scary control-based fetish. There is also off-screen violence and death, and mild on-screen violence.

Almost, Always 🍁🥀 by _velvetverse_

"Almost, Always" 🍁🌹 Some people enter your life like whispers...soft, sudden, and gone before you can hold on. She didn't expect to see him again. Not after years, not like this. Not when she had finally learned how to forget the boy who never truly left her mind. But fate isn't loud..it's quiet, casual... cruel. In a classroom filled with noise, their glances screamed stories. A slow-burn connection, unsaid words, and almosts that could've been everything. This is not a fairytale. This is a memory rewritten..with the ending she deserved.

Where Our Hearts Return by sawako_1111

Mira Sharma is not the kind of woman who lets people in easily. A brilliant data analyst with a guarded heart and a no-nonsense sense of humor, she's learned to keep her vulnerability tucked away behind sarcasm, spreadsheets, and late-night to-do lists. She's not looking for a distraction - especially not in the form of a tall, charming new hire who drinks espresso like it's an art form. But Aarav Mehta is more than just a pretty face with a good jawline and rolled-up sleeves. He's kind in the quietest ways, observant without overreaching, and patient enough to wait outside the walls Mira has built around her heart. What begins as casual coffee breaks between colleagues slowly evolves into shared silences, stolen glances, unspoken support - and eventually, something neither of them saw coming. From late-night texts to rooftop confessions, from drifting apart to finding their way back, Where Our Hearts Return is a heartfelt journey through love, distance, friendship, and everything in between. It's not about grand gestures. It's about staying - even when things get complicated. And learning that some people aren't just passing chapters... They're where the story begins.
