> Two boys. One unshakable friendship. And a thousand chances to fall in love - if only they knew.
Kai doesn't believe in fate, love, or any of that overly romantic crap. Ren believes in living in the moment, even if it's messy.
Since high school started, they've been stuck together like two halves of the same disaster - movie nights, dumb jokes, midnight calls, and deep talks under the stars. Everything between them feels solid. Safe. Untouchable.
Until other people get involved.
Until jealousy creeps in where it doesn't belong.
Until Kai finds himself annoyed for reasons he can't explain, and Ren starts questioning why everyone else suddenly feels wrong.
This is not a love story. Not yet.
This is about two idiots trying to hold onto their friendship without realizing they're falling in love.
A true slow-burn BL romance - filled with awkward tension, unspoken feelings, misread signals, complicated family drama, and a loud-mouthed girl named Alberta who might just be the one to make things right.
π Fall for the friendship. Stay for the heartbreak. Cheer for the happy ending.

Not the boy who saved her from a playground meltdown. Not the best friend who became her first kiss... her first love... her everything. But when he moved across the world, he left her with nothing but a broken promise and a gold star necklace she still wears like a scar. She swore she'd wait. He swore they'd find each other again. But two weeks after he came back, he was holding another girl's hand. Now it's war. And Lisa's done playing soft. Noah thought leaving Lisa behind would protect them both. He didn't expect to fall apart without her. Neither did he expect to learn the truth-something so brutal it made him question every moment they'd ever shared and see her as a stranger in the skin of the girl he once loved. And he definitely didn't expect to fall into someone else's arms trying to forget the taste of her lips. But Lisa's not the shy girl he left behind. She's colder now. Hotter, too. And every time he looks at her like he hates her, he wants to grab her and make her remember everything. This isn't just a breakup. It's unfinished business. First love never dies. But it might just destroy them both. πππππππ/πππππππ ππππππ : β₯ mature/sexual themes β₯ alcohol references β₯ language β₯ mild violence β₯ SLOWBURN! word count- 130,000 started- July 07 2023, Finished- May 2025 Copyright all rights reservedComplete
Lie to Him, Moan for Me! +18
PERFECT LIFE. PERFECT BOYFRIEND. All it took was his best friend transferring back to turn her world upside down. Maya has everything she's ever wanted-a devoted boyfriend, a steady future, a love story that's supposed to last. Liam is safe, familiar, right. Then Nathan shows up. Liam's best friend. Cold, sharp, impossible to ignore. From the start, he gets under her skin, challenging her, frustrating her-tempting her in ways she refuses to acknowledge. She hates him. He doesn't like her either. At least, that's what they keep telling themselves. But tension has a way of unraveling, and some lines-once crossed-can never be undone. "We shouldn't," he breathes against my lips. But he doesn't move away. "I don't care," I whisper back... π₯ Mature Content | Slow-Burn | Enemies to Forbidden Lovers π₯Complete
