Isaac wasn't the only thing Gomez Addams hated in Nevermore. Isaac also wasn't the only thing Gomez loved. Isaac wasn't a "thing" even, he was his best friend, young and talented davinci, coy enough to cause trouble, smart enough to never get caught.
Isaac wasn't like other boys. Isaac was... something else. Not only his lanky frame stood out from the crowd of purple-striped students, his curly head held one of the most impressive minds Nevermore has ever seen. Only one thing was bad about Isaac, and Gomez hated it with his whole heart: he was dying. Imminently, without compromises, his heart was failing to sustain his elegant body and pump the blood all the way towards his thin fingertips. His heart was failing more and more, but at one thing it never failed him - and Isaac hated it.
At the gothic Nevermore Academy, Gomez Addams is torn between his all-consuming, unspoken love for his brilliant, dying best friend, Isaac, and his captivating romance with Morticia. As Isaac's health fails, he pursues a radical, experimental surgery to replace his heart with a mechanical one, a decision that forces both young men to confront their feelings in a spiral of obsession, desperation, and tragedy that will echo for decades.

REVISED:The Boy With A Touch Of Cancer (BxB)
"Leo pinned me against the wall with his hips. His hands gently gripped my wrists, keeping my arms above my head against the cool brick behind me. His quicksilver eyes were filled with such an intense, carnal desire I couldn't even look into them, so I looked over his shoulder. I saw a few kids from the group standing out by their cars who would easily be able to see what we were doing...or at least what Leo was doing to me. At that moment, my mind started wandering to all the things that I could be doing to him right now...but I stopped that train of thought immediately, as it started heading to all the wrong places... All the dirty places. I glanced back at Leo. His gaze was still as intense as it was before. He smirked at me and said confidently, "You can't ignore me forever, Ethan. You're eventually gonna fall for my charms..." Ethan Carter was focused on 2 things. 1. School (obviously) and 2. Getting over ex (it's proving to be, harder than he thought), but now he has to add dying to that list, and suddenly having feelings for a boy. Leo Malone makes Ethan feel things he's never felt for another guy. Leo's sweet, patient, and understanding...the only problem is, he's a guy. Ethan tries to ignore the fact that his heart flutters every time he sees Leo, or that he can't ever stop thinking about him, but if having cancer has taught him one thing, it's that you have to live in the present, as you may not have a future.Complete
𝙇𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙠𝙞𝙨𝙨 -Isaac Night-

And a love doomed to burn itself out before it could ever be remembered. They say time devours all things. For Isaac Night, time was both his curse and his creation. For me, it was the measure of how long I could hold his hand before fate tore it away. Isaac's eyes burned brighter than the lamps in his workshop, and I should have turned away. Instead, I leaned closer. -Isaac night- Lovers to enemies to lovers...Complete
