Apricity [noun] - the warmth of the sun on a cold winter's day.
- -
Noah spent his days trapped in the frostbitten monotony of routine - wake up, classes, work, sleep.
He watched as people moved, sun-kissed by romance. He envied them, secretly.
Having spent the entirety of his life untouched by those rays of light, he had, at last, resigned himself to a life of endless winter.

That was until he met Riley.

If summer were to take shape, it would choose Riley as its vessel in every universe. Oddly enough, he'd spent his life on ice, craving the cold as his own future built up to be lived beneath the scorching beams of limelight. 

Could Riley be the warmth of the sun that finally thawed the snow that had piled up around him for years - or would the icy cold end up extinguishing the flames trying to reach Noah?All Rights Reserved

The story is NOT edited, but I have begun with that, so please read the Author's Note CAREFULLY, thank you. How do fire and ice combine together? Meet Travis Henderson, sort of new student, blunt to extreme when he can't keep his tongue on a leash, extravagant, vain and cocky as a cat and afraid of nothing. Well, almost. Although with his looks it's very difficult to walk-by unnoticed, he wants to keep a low profile and prefers to stay alone and the company of his I-pod only. Oh, did we mention he is gay? Proud and loud, he would say. Travis knows no half measures when it comes to feelings; he feels a fire burning inside him and has to let it out. Travis must have the object of his interest no matter what, but fire can really burn and hurt you, even if you are its master. And what happens when you realize who you want is the only man impossible to have? Yes, Travis is like a burning and shining ball of fire. Meet Aleksandr Lebedev, half Russian half American, star of the ice-hockey school team. Being 6′3″ tall with a fierce and dangerously annoyed glare make him one of the most feared guys in school. And he likes to be feared by useless and annoying people, since he doesn't appreciate to be involved in others' business at all.

That's all you will ever get from Aleksandr and mind well not to annoy him. There is ice in his veins and nothing else. How will it turn out to bump into a constant magnet for trouble?

All throughout the years of being together, no matter what it was about, Noah really didn't think that he'd end up feeling how he did when his best friend ends up naked in his bed. Let me rephrase that: his male best friend. They've done it three times. And most of the human beings wondering around this sphere of an Earth tend to say: third one's a charm. And to add on top of that, Noah, is one oblivious player. So, what did the two best friends do three times? Why? Last, but not least, how are they going to get past it? Because the third brings sparks, fireworks, butterflies and all those shit the girls used to talk about during their high school days. --- This short story is MxM, written by the author in inspiration of the three pink hearts in chat boxes she saw while browsing through pictures. If you don't like two man liking each other, being together, having sex together and everything to do with homosexual stuff, then leave. This contains mature language, mature content and one oblivious player who the author has no idea how she's going to make him realize shit in a few chapters.

Above Water ✔️ by namesakens

Thomas needed a vacation, but that didn't mean he wanted one. His best friend convinced him to come down to his family's beach house for the summer to unwind, to relax for once. Thomas wasn't swayed easily, but he found himself on a flight to Florida regardless, albeit begrudgingly. Thomas intended to mope around for the three months, drink away his problems, and maybe get a tan in the process. However, his plans were thwarted when an unwanted houseguest from his past arrived the day after his getting there, leaving a bitter tang on the entire "vacation." Not to mention, Thomas was forced to share what he thought was his room with his best friend's wife's ridiculously handsome brother, Dallas. Thomas was on the cusp of drowning in the first week. Relaxation wasn't even on the agenda. He just had to try to keep his head above water.

VICE by WonpilsPiano

*THIS STORY IS UNDER COMPLETE RECONSTRUCTION.* Prickly, sarcastic, self-aware Austin is roped into a risky dare by his best friend that leads to one of the most frustratingly eventful days of his young life. Not one for attention, Austin has preferred a quiet life within the otherwise chaotic and cruel confines of high school that is fueled by pubescent hormones and pointless drama. For years, he has maintained that normalcy until he wakes up one day to a whirlwind of misunderstandings that he can't take back that was caused by a mistake his sister made. Within the misunderstandings, one new entity in his life --that is not by design of his own, springs up and somehow weasels his way into Austin's world. Noah. Noah is a new boy in town whose mission in life seems to be centered around driving Austin mad! He himself is shrouded in mystery and, despite his erratic mannerisms, something about him effortlessly pulls Austin to him as time goes by that even Austin's resistance cannot fight against. It's an innate need for freedom and affection that connects them in an otherworldly manner; which becomes their saving grace as they battle both present and past demons on a quest to find happiness.

Bloom in the wake of Ruin ⚣ ✔️ by AngryPeopleUnited

"Excuse me, sir. I think you may have dropped these?" It was the voice I noticed first. Smooth, a little amused, and low enough to draw me out of myself. Then I saw him. Dirty blonde hair that looked like waves crashing down the sides of his face, and freckles like splattered paint across his fair skin. A silver hoop in his nose, another in his brow, both catching the light. And those eyes... electric blue, staring into my green ones with intensity. - After a heartbreaking loss, Killian has spent two years shielding himself from love, or any human contact really-convinced that no one could ever replace the person he lost. Finn, on the other hand, is caught in the throes of a toxic relationship, knowing he's not getting what he deserves but is too scared to walk away. When their paths cross, the spark is undeniable, but both are hesitant, scared of getting too close. Killian fears the pain of loving and losing again, while Finn's relationship has made him lose hope all together-almost. Will they let their pasts define them, or can they find the courage to bloom together in the wake of their ruins?
