Two dancers, bound by rhythm and friendship, shared the same stage and the same dream.
Card, a 21-year-old 3rd-year college student at Kalawag State University, was known for his flawless moves, commanding stage presence, and a smile that could draw anyone in. Lester, a freshman, was new to the world of dance - shy at first, but curious. His life changed the moment Card introduced him to the hidden beauty of dancing, showing him that it was more than just steps and music - it was a language of the soul.
As days turned into nights of practice, and laughter filled the spaces between routines, a quiet truth began to grow in Card's heart. Somewhere between shared glances and synchronized spins, he fell for Lester. But he buried his feelings deep, afraid that one confession could shatter the friendship they had built.
This is their story - a tale of unspoken love, unshakable friendship, and the silent ache of keeping a secret from someone who truly sees you, appreciates you, and loves you for who you are.

I sensed his movements beside me as he bypassed the cards on the ground. I looked up to question him, but the words got caught in my throat. I gasped taking in the features of his face that was now inches away from mine. I had never noticed the few specks of gold in his green eyes before. My heart raced as his gaze flicked to my lips and back to my eyes. Then, without hesitation, his lips were on mine and my brain turned to mush.

[COMPLETE] Sorry this may be cringe, it was written very long ago A seemingly ordinary, working college girl meets a cool, undeniably sexy boy with millions of followers at his feet. How will their completely different lives allow, or prevent them from getting what they want? Expect some drama, flirty lines, steamy scenes, funny best friends, and perhaps, an overall epic love connection. ~ Carter came around the corner as his eyes darkened with a predatory gaze. Oh no. He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously. With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker." ~ ❗️Mature content.
