We sit close - not close enough to touch hearts, but just enough for elbows to brush.
I watch him laugh at his screen, pretending not to notice the space between us. Pretending not to want more.
But space is tricky. Sometimes, all it takes is an inch to blur the lines of friendship. And sometimes, the lines were never there to begin with.
A soft, slow-burn romance about all the almosts we hold in silence.
If you've ever fallen in love with your best friend and whispered it to no one... this story is for you.All Rights Reserved

To the Boy Who Made Me Feel Everything by Softlywritten25

Some stories begin with a kiss. Ours began with a handshake and silence. He wasn't supposed to mean anything-just a classmate, a stranger, a passing name. But somehow, he became the boy who made me feel everything. The one I texted when I didn't know what to say. The one I looked for in crowded rooms without meaning to. The one who sat beside me once on a bus...and never really left. This isn't a perfect love story. There were no grand gestures, no dramatic declarations, and no promises. Just two people, slowly breaking and becoming, in a world that never stopped moving. He wasn't mine. But he felt like home.

Almond by byzuwa

"Some people teach you how to speak again. Others make you wish you'd stayed silent." _____ Almond A quiet love. A buried past. A story that will leave you aching. She doesn't talk much-not about the things that matter. Not about the names she still can't say aloud. Not about the night that changed everything. She just wants to breathe without breaking. To disappear into the background and not be noticed. But He notices her. Gentle where others push, patient where others pry-he doesn't ask her to open up. He just stays. And sometimes, that's louder than words. But love is never simple. And even the softest hearts have storms waiting inside them. "A soft love story wrapped in ache, healing, and unspoken words. Walk with me through the quiet chaos of two broken hearts trying to find their way. You won't regret it." -----

Almost Something by Charlene_Pienaar

Almost Something is a tender, bittersweet coming-of-age story about friendship, first love, and everything that falls in between. Quiet and observant Olive has always found comfort behind the pages of a book - and behind James, the effortlessly charming boy who made her feel seen. What started as shared snacks and inside jokes slowly became something unspoken, almost tangible - almost something. Through school days, camping trips, late-night laughter, and distant stares across crowded rooms, Olive and James walk the line between what is and what could've been. But timing isn't always kind. And sometimes, the people we feel the most for are the ones we never truly get to call ours. Almost Something is a story about moments that almost mattered, the love we're too scared to name, and the quiet hope that maybe - just maybe - it still meant everything.

Almost Us by SilverySplendid

This is my first novel. A story born from countless imagined scenarios-those "what if" moments in the head that never happened but feel so real. It's about friendship, laughter, jealousy, and the feelings we keep hidden. It's about the times we're too quiet, the words left unsaid, and the moments that could have changed everything... if only. What if we were more than friends? What if I said what I felt? What if things turned out differently? This is not the story of "us." This is the story of what we almost were.

The Space Between Our Lines by sevenwrites_

Have you ever felt a love that lives in silence, in the spaces no one notices? A longing that trembles in your chest but never finds its voice? What if the one who could fill the emptiness inside you is the one you are too afraid to reach for? What if every almost, every hesitation, every word left unsent has been shaping your life more than you realize? Can you find the courage before fear takes over? Can you cross the spaces that keep you apart without breaking yourself? What if the person you were meant to love has been walking beside you all along, yet you never dared to see them? What if the life you dream of exists only in the moments you almost live it? What if letting go is the only way to hold on? And when the lines between hope and heartbreak blur, will you recognize what you've been searching for before it slips away forever? In the quiet between longing and choice, between love and fear, the question remains for you, for me, for every heart that dares to hope: can we step into the life and the love that has been waiting for us all along?

There's A Boy in my Bed (BoyxBoy) by Youroffputting

"We can't do this." I whisper as our lips re-connect, a tingling fire surging through my body as his hands ravage unexplored lands; my innocence dissipating away with every peck he trails down my neck. "I know we can't. That's why it's so exciting." He replies through kisses. His effortless charm intoxicates me; drowning me; hunting me; devouring me. "What if my brother finds out?" The perpetuated patter of the rain unable to subdue my groan as he digs his nails deeper into my skin. "Who cares." ********** Welcome to my story, where an innocent boy finds a not so innocent boy in his bed; where they do not so innocent things. - YOP

Friends Don't Know The Way You Taste by yourkinkybitch

(COMPLETED) ❝What's on your mind? Are you thinking how I would look sucking your dick in this dress? I wouldn't mind showing you, but we have to go to the bar. It's truly a shame because if we didn't have plans, we'd probably be fucking against this wal-❞ I wasn't able to finish that sentence because his arms suddenly curled around my waist and slammed me against the side wall. My breath hitched in my throat as I registered everything. His eyes no longer had that innocent look they usually did. They looked dark and hungry, desire clearly visible in them. ❝You need to stop teasing me, Ariel. You somehow keep forgetting that even though I'm your best friend, I'm still a man. Next time you joke about sucking my dick or being fucked against a wall, I won't hold back.❞ He said in a low voice, backing me up against the wall and planted his hands on either side of my head, trapping me in. His lips were dangerously close to mine. ❝I never asked you to hold back.❞ With that, I roughly grabbed his collar and crashed my lips to his. _ Would Ariel Watts and Kevin Wilson be willing to risk their friendship and put their hearts on the line?

Closed doors, open hearts. by Deity_Milkovich009

𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚. In the eyes of everyone else, they're just friends; untouchable, ordinary, and safe. But when the world isn't watching, the truth of whispered confessions in the dark gets heard, hands that linger too long are felt, and hearts beating too loud are revealed. Every secret moment feels like paradise, but also like walking on a knife's edge. Because if their love is uncovered, they both could lose everything, yet neither of them could imagine letting go of the other.

Unrequited Sunflower by xXAbigail_StewartXx

We don't talk. We don't follow each other. But he's always there-two steps ahead in the hallway, one glance too long in class. He acts like he doesn't care. I act like I never did. And yet... we both hesitate, like the silence between us means something. This isn't a love story. A real-life bad WiFi, shared classrooms, and zero confessions. He's 19. I'm 17 - legally . We don't make sense-except when we do. Or maybe... this is what "almost" feels like. Based on a true story. (Unfortunately.)
