Strings Attached (bxb)

Chase doesn't do loud. Or complicated. A quiet loser with a soft spot for drinking his problems away, he's more focused on staying alive during parties than making new friends. So when he pairs up with Kayla who's sharp, unpredictable, and strangely easy to talk to, he doesn't expect to get tangled up in her life... especially not her brother's.

Ivan is everything Chase isn't. Loud. Confident. Always holding a guitar like it's part of him and always with that smirk that says he knows exactly how to get under Chase's skin. When a single knock on Ivan's door turns into something more, Chase finds himself drawn into a slow confusing collision of music, tension, and emotions he can't quite name.

They're opposites in every way, but something between them keeps pulling tighter. Maybe it's curiosity. Maybe it's chemistry. Maybe it's the kind of connection that comes with strings attached.
