Boy meets boy. Boy mocks boy. Boy falls (a little too hard).
Dior Max is all sharp edges and smoother fabrics-stylish, strategic, and emotionally unbothered. Or so he pretends.
Brix Julian is a walking headache with a guitar: smug, loud, and alarmingly good at sending the wrong message.
They argue. They prank. They lock eyes for too long in crowded hallways. It's not flirting-it's war. Obviously.
But somewhere between the teasing and tension, Dior starts collecting hope-one red paper heart at a time. Every mixed signal? Folded. Stored. Counted.
He'll confess when the jar is full. Because maybe, just maybe, Brix means it.
SPOILER ALERT: he doesn't.
Turns out the signals were smoke, the crush was one-sided,
and the heartbreak? Custom-tailored.
Chords vs. Collars. Gloss meets grit.
A stylish slow-burn that stings where it shouldn't.
Because the cruelest crushes don't break-they hum.

I Fell in Love with a Bad Boy
CRINGE WARNING! First book I ever wrote on here!! -- "Sometimes the person who you are willing to take a bullet for is the person behind the gun." I stood peering over the cold lifeless body that lay before my eyes. I had always thought of death the enemy, but right now, I blessed it upon the person who is now at peace. Sometimes you don't need to be the smartest, or the fastest, but you do need to be wisest. They say the blood runs deeper than water, and I believe it, because even though the people that we love can turn on us and begin to hate us, they are only human, meaning that soon they will begin to see how short life really is and how it is not to be wasted. People who seem perfect and they look like they have no floors'; they are the people who are suffering, like I was. But I found my savior in the most uncommon place. He was able to look through my mask, he saw the cracks, and tried to fix the broken girl that hid away deep inside the girl who only wanted to be seen as 'fine'. I slowly began to find comfort and safety in him, and I did the same to him. We were two broken people becoming whole. Someone once said when you pass, if you can count your true friends on one hand you are beyond lucky, and I even though I did not like the person that lay before me, I know that he once had true friends, including me. I'm a 17 year old girl who has suffered more than any other, beginning to believe that 'Hope' was just another word the people throw around. Until I fell in love with a badboy.

Confused Heart (Boy x Boy)
"Skylar," he whispered huskily. I was pinned to the floor with both his arms beside my head. And he's...calling me in that voice. I'm trapped. "I-I d-do-dont wan-t t-this," I said stuttering. What am I so afraid of to be stuttering this much? He couldn't possibly...? ....He's not saying anything. I averted my eyes earlier, but the quietness is making me antsy. Maybe he does know. I know he's looking at me. I can feel it and...its making me hot. "Haven't you learned your lesson already? You're a bad boy Skylar. And bad boys need to be punished." Skylar Woodlock is the new student transferring in the middle of the school year because of an "accident" in the family. Skylar's a hotheaded mystery. Keeping one too many of his secrets closed...and himself. Of course, he just had to catch the eye of a rebel. Meet Demetri Cross. A sweet guy, when he wants to be. Most would rather give him the name jackass or dipshit than the traditional bad boy. He only acts this way to protect himself, and others. He's intrigued by the new student, and wants him. For him and only him. But he has his ways of...doing things. Will there be a sweet love ending for these two? Or will their secrets bind them to a red abyss? BTW..I DO NOT OWN THIS PIC!

Cassie (Book #1 of the "Cassie" Series)
"Alright, I'll start with an introduction to me and all the people I'm gonna tell you about, so errrr, welcome, I guess? I'm Cassie Langer, I'm seventeen, and I'm an aspiring fashion designer doing my senior year at Crestville High in some town in the middle of bumfuck nowhere. I won't bore you with the long-winded description of what I look like, this isn't My Immortal and my name isn't Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Cassie always faded into the background of life, mostly only interacting with her inner circle of close friends and seeing herself invisible to everyone else at Crestville High, and that's how she likes it. So imagine her surprise when her former friend and long-time crush - kind-hearted jock Ryan Park - decides to reconnect with her. As Cassie's growing connection with Ryan draws more attention to her, she starts gaining the confidence to take on her bullies and break out from her shell. However as she grows closer to Ryan, her close and protective childhood friend Chad Hills starts showing his own feelings for Cassie. Will she continue seeing where things go with her self-described "perfect man", or find herself falling harder for her best friend. This is the first of a series. I decided not to dump the entire story that I have planned out into one and split it into several different ones. So consider this as Cassie Book #1. This story as well as the series as a whole blends silly humor, cuteness, and also some pretty dark storylines, if you're into that kind of stuff. Also, this book makes use of music, so every chapter has a song that correlates with the story being told. I do not own any of the music or song lyrics used and every song used is linked in the chapter, all rights belong to the artists and composers :) ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED: November 10, 2020 EDITED: November 21, 2022Complete
Say Something 【boyxboy】√Completed
Jude doesn't talk. He can't, even when he wants to. They don't want to hear what he has to say, and they only use their words to hurt him. So why even try anymore? Starting at a new school seems like the perfect opportunity to blend into the background, but it isn't far enough away to start over. Some people just won't let him forget about his past. The teachers don't understand. He can't tell them why. He can't say anything at all. Ross understands. Ross writes to him. Slowly, he pulls Jude out of his shell, waiting for him to say something. ----- Say Something is a story of overcoming fear with the help of friendship and love. As someone who has struggled with anxiety, I tried to do something a little different with my writing style this time by including a lot of thoughts and feelings rather than a ton of description and detail. I'd like to add that it mentions things like sex and violence but I don't plan on going into any graphic detail in this story. There is also occasional cursing. I hope you give it a chance and leave feedback for me as I post new chapters over time. Thank you so much for checking it out! Started: January 15, 2015 Completed: July 28, 2017 **COMPLETED** **ILLUSTRATIONS are being released! The illustrations chapter is private, meaning only followers can view it. Why? This is a present for my followers to show my appreciation for their support! #566 in teen fiction 8/2/17 #2 in lgbt 7/18/20 wow!Complete
Twisted
"I think I'm gay." I say, leaving out the part about my... exposing dream about him last night. I watched his expression, waiting for some sign that he was angry. I waited for him to call me a faggot, to curse me off and tell me he never wanted to see me again. Instead, I was greeted with his perfect toothy smile. "That's great man, I'm of proud you." He says, patting my arm as he stuffed another cracker in his mouth. "It takes some real balls to come out to someone." He says, his beautiful green eyes blazing into mine. I felt myself become flustered at his gaze. "Uh, Yeah, Thanks." I stumbled out, "You're not mad?" I ask. His expression turns to hurt as he crinkles his eyebrows. "Why the hell would I be mad?" He asks, hesitating on the crackers and pushing them away. "I just thought-it's just- well... you just always seem so pissed when someone mentions the word gay." I spit out words, scared for his reaction. He sighs, "That doesn't fucking mean I hate gays. Normally when I do that it's because someone's using the word 'gay' to hate on them, it just pisses me off, you know?" He asks, bringing the crackers back into his lap and biting into them. "Plus-" He adds on, "You're my best friend, if anything, you being gay is a blessing. I'll always support you." He says, glancing at me through the side of his eyes. I look away, towards the door to hide the crimson blush that I feel spread over my face. "Thanks." I all but squeak out. And that's the day I realized, I have a faint crush on my best friend. <><><><><< THIS BOOK IS BEING *MAJORLY* EDITED. THERES LOTS OF SPELLING MISTAKES AND NAME MIX UPS, SOME CHAPTERS WILL BE REWRITTEN Also, Please don't be mean to the characters, they aren't even close to perfect, but they don't deserve hate.Complete
The Pretty Boy In The Sheets| bxb |
*I do not own any rights to the photo used as my cover* *** #2 in TeenRomance (2026) #4 in Gayness (26) #9 in Teenager (2026) #11 in Coming out the closet (2021) I started this story in 2021... Everything is cringy and bad about this story, but I decided to complete this book since I got a lot of comments disappointed it was never finished. Eric didn't choose or really want to be gay, it just kind of happen- something that just happened, he can't even remember how he found out he was gay all he knew was that he was, And it wasn't like there's nothing wrong with that. Eric wasn't homophobic, he didn't feel disgusted in himself but rather disappointed. Everyone put pressure on him to be this perfect person, whether it being grades or sports or family- everything would be ruin if he came out. That's why he hadn't told anyone in the last couple years, not because he's scared- pft, Eric Goodmen scared? Star football player? Could have all the women by just a click of a button if wasn't for being in love with the same gender- scared? He was just a little 'inconvenienced'. One party changed everything though- to many drinks and making out with the wrong gender to send his fake perfect life crashing down when discovering out the first person he came out to, kissed, and had sex with was Callum Micheals. Mr pretty boy. Like life flashing before his eyes- Eric questioned whether Callum remembered or not? *** The smell of a nose itching fabric softer, too expensive for his parents to buy and the feel of warm feather pillows is what Eric woke up to. His body was somewhat tired, and sweaty but besides that, he felt good- he even let out a morning moan sitting up with his arms to look around, he was at Jackson's. A light ache from his hangover rang through his head reminding him that he drank a lot last night seconds later, he opened his mouth to hiss or groan in pain, but the groan that brought silence to the room wasn't his- it was, "Callum?!" Eric whisper shouted.Complete
Why would you love me? | Gay/MxM/BxB
[Recent Note: I'm not really proud of this story at all now, it's way too long and boring, you're free to dismiss it, but if you're into senseless fluff, lightning quick relationship growth, too much slice of life, and unrealistic and bland characters, you're in for a ride.] This story is heavily inspired on books like Heartstopper by Alice Oseman while still being different in it's own way (Who am I kidding it should be called plagiarism) Description: Two boys meet up on high school, one is gay and worried all the time and one is not and he's calm and fun, the worried boy gets a crush, but how would anything happen between the boys? - - - - - - - - - "What's wrong, Isaac?" "Uhm, it's nothing, i just didn't thought this would happen to me... Like i never thought... Why would you love me?" "Isaac, it's not why would i love you, it's why wouldn't i love someone that cute and caring." "I-i... Thank you." "Don't worry, i didn't think either that something like this would happen to me." "I love you." "I love you." - - - - - - - - - - Newer Note (Late May 2025) I hate this story, I truly do. Only reason it's up is because people have it saved and I don't wanna take it away from them. But if i were to rewrite the whole story now, it would be 50 times better. I just don't get the point of remaking this shameless plagiarism.Complete
Broken ✓ (BoyxBoy)
"Wait, you're gay?" I asked in confusion, scratching the back of my head. "Well duh. How oblivious are you?" "Well, I guess I'm pretty dumb, but my sexiness makes up for it." "Sure Hunter, whatever helps you sleep at night..." *** [Completed] Hunter just moved to a small city in Florida after his third suicide attempt, being forced to live with his aunt. After his first day at his new school, he has the whole football team hating him with his smart remarks, except for one quarterback who takes an interest in him. With his new therapist, his annoying aunt, and the hell hole he calls school, will Hunter be able to make it through the rest of high school, or will he forever be broken? --- This story contains romance between two boys. If you're not okay with that then I suggest you leave. I'm gonna go ahead and add a trigger warning, for suicidal themes, cutting, etc... Fair warning, this story is really poorly written. It's filled with plot holes, grammar errors, and everything else under the sun that makes a bad story. It pains me to reread it but it's like my own writing history so I don't want to take it down. It was written when I was 12, if that says anything, so keep that in mind before you read it! *** Highest rankings: 07/10/20 | #5 in Humor 02/09/20 | #5 in BxB 06/22/19 | #4 in SuicideAwareness 05/21/20 | #3 in GayLove 04/12/20 | #3 in UnlimitedPride 10/06/19 | #1 in Sarcasm 08/09/19 | #1 in GayFiction 08/17/19 | #1 in GayAf 09/28/19 | #1 in FreeTheLgbt 11/28/19 | #1 in TeenFiction 02/12/20 | #1 in Gayness --- Completed on 5/30/19Complete
Mr. Match (BoyxBoy) ✓
I'm Finn Vasco but that's not quite important right now. I'm a pretty sarcastic guy if I'm gonna be honest. I'm closed off and I literally only have one friend. I might hate everybody in my school... but there's this guy there. He's... let's say, dreamy, someone who I thought would never even acknowledge my existence. That guy who was too damn good to be true, who was too good for me, who was too good for... everybody! You get what I'm trying to say. He's that cliché king of the campus and a popular and attractive heartthrob and with just one wink, he can send people on their knees... That sounded so wrong, anyway. So can you blame me for being over the moon when one day, he approached me only to what? ...To ask for my help courting my freaking best friend. I knew it was stupid for me to hope I'd even have any chance with him anyway. So I just agreed to help him. Even if I was hurting myself and potentially my best friend in the process, my best friend who has been there with me through the thick and thins, I still did it... I mean what could go wrong besides literally everything? So my plan was to just set my crush and my best friend up, and then everything would be alright... right? But of course, life doesn't like it when people have it easy. *** Highest Ranking #2 on #lgbtfiction #5 on #boyxboy #6 on #gay #8 on #teenfiction *** ~ WARNING: This story contains strong language and bullying.
