*THIS WAS MADE AS A JOKE TOWARDS MY FRIENDS ALAN AND MOHAMMED. NONE OF THIS IS REAL.*
Alan and Mohammed have always been inseparable in marching band - teasing, laughing, and keeping each other sane through long rehearsals and late-night practices. But beneath the jokes and playful rivalry, something deeper has been quietly growing. Over the course of a school year, their friendship slowly blossoms into something neither expected: a tender, heartfelt romance. Between tricky music drills, halftime performances, and stolen moments behind the bleachers, Alan and Mohammed discover the courage to admit their feelings and take the first steps toward love. Marching to the Same Beat is a realistic, slow-burn yaoi story about friendship, music, and the quiet magic of falling in love.
