Enchanted (Boy x Boy) by Gaurav0245
25 parts Complete Mature
Victor never believed in magic-- not the fairytale kind, not the love-at-first-sight kind, and definitely not the kind that changes your life in a single moment. But everything changed the day he met Adrian. Adrian was chaos wrapped in calm. Older, gentle, infuriatingly patient, and unbearably kind. He walked into Victor's life like a song-unexpected, unforgettable, and impossible to stop humming even after it ended. What began as study sessions and sarcastic banter slowly bloomed into something neither of them were ready for: love that felt like destiny, and a bond so profound, it rewrote everything Victor thought he knew about happiness. But enchantments don't last forever. As secrets unravel and time begins to run out, Victor is left clinging to memories, melodies, and moments-desperate to hold on to the magic before it slips away. Enchanted is a story of first love, heartache, healing, and a boy who found his heart's home in another. It's a love letter to the people who change us, the songs that save us, and the brief, beautiful moments that feel like forever. He was never just in love- He was enchanted to meet him.

Now, years later, the same game throws them back into each other's lives when Ethan suddenly transfers to Noah's school.

He just feels frustrated that Ethan seems hell bent on keeping a solid wall between them. A wall that keeps cracking.

Noah Reed Wants The Moon (bxb) ✔️ by Iris-hope
49 parts Complete
"I always thought I was the ocean, you know? Always reaching for things I can't have. Always crashing into people who don't want me back. The moon pulls. The ocean follows. Even when it hurts." "You don't have to, Noah. Why can't you stay? Why can't the ocean stay with the shore?" *** Noah Reed has spent years trying to outrun the boy he used to be- the one who froze under his father's fists, the one who kissed a stranger under the stars and watched him disappear. When Noah and his mother escape their violent home and move to Novacrest, he's prepared to rebuild quietly: new school, new friends, a job at a café, and maybe-finally-something like peace. Milo, the sweet, steady football player who keeps showing up for him, feels like exactly that. Until Noah sees him. Eli Blake. Quarterback. Golden boy. Untouchable. And the first boy Noah ever kissed. Eli acts like he doesn't remember him at all. But his eyes say something else-fear, anger, longing, something sharp enough to cut. Thrown together for a biology project, their old summer-camp secret forces its way back, tearing open every wound Noah has tried to bury. And just when Noah's heart begins leaning toward Milo, Eli breaks through his defenses... and kisses him again. Now the past is unraveling, the truth is clawing its way out, and Noah has to choose between the boy who makes him feel safe and the boy who makes him feel seen. Because oceans don't choose what pulls them. But Noah has to- before he breaks apart for good. Book One in the Ocean & Moon series.
