Shy, bookish Kai Morgan has always preferred the quiet corners of the world-where assignments, books, and carefully structured routines keep life predictable. That is, until Luca Bennett, the confident, magnetic star of the soccer team, steps into his life.

Thrown together by chance, the unlikely pair discover sparks neither expected: teasing glances, accidental touches, and moments of vulnerability that make Kai's carefully ordered world unravel. As their friendship deepens, so do their feelings, but high school gossip, misunderstandings, and their own insecurities constantly threaten to pull them apart.

From quiet library lunches to chaotic house parties, rainy-day walks, and stolen moments in empty hallways, Kai and Luca navigate a thrilling, angsty, and passionate journey toward understanding themselves-and each other. Hearts on the Sidelines is a story of first love, slow-burning desire, and the risk of letting someone in when your heart has always belonged to the shadows.All Rights Reserved

After spending two years studying abroad in Italy, shy and bookish Charlotte Bennett returns to her hometown with a quiet confidence and a glow-up no one saw coming. She's ready to fly under the radar and finish her final year in peace-until she crosses paths with Noah Carter. Noah, the school's golden boy with a reckless streak and a reputation for breaking rules (and hearts), doesn't recognize the girl who once sat quietly in the back of class. But something about Charlotte's new attitude-and the way she doesn't fall for his usual charm-gets under his skin. They clash from the start: sarcastic remarks, tense hallway run-ins, and accidental detentions. But the more they fight, the more the line between hate and something deeper begins to blur. Beneath the teasing and tension, they start to uncover each other's hidden scars-and maybe even their hearts.

"He doesn't say 'I love you.' But he changed in all the ways that yelled it." •••••••••••••• Vaani Joshi never expected love from her arranged marriage - just respect, maybe some space, and silence she could live with. Dhruv Deshmukh was exactly that: powerful, unreadable, and cold. He didn't ask her what she liked. He didn't ask how her day was. And she never asked for anything. But then he started noticing. Not her words - her silences. Not what she wanted - what she gave up. The man who never looked twice is now the one who watches her the closest. And the girl who never expected anything... is the reason he's learning how to give everything. •••••••••••••••• "Why do you always notice the things I don't say?" He looked at her for a long second. "Because you never ask. And I've never wanted to give anyone more." •••••••••••••••• Tropes: Slow-burn romance | Arranged marriage | Contemporary drama | Indian diaspora | Urban luxury + emotional intimacy | Cold ML x Soft FL | Changing for her

Something Like Softness - NICK STURNIOLO [COMPLETE] by t0bysita

When two quietly broken souls meet in the noise of Los Angeles, they find something rare - a connection that doesn't need to shout to be heard. Luca Hartley has always been the one to fade into the background - a soft-spoken bookstore barista and struggling artist with a quiet life built on careful walls. Nick Sturniolo, a rising YouTube star known for his warmth and openness, seems like everything Luca isn't: loud, confident, and impossible to ignore. But when fate (and a chance encounter at an indie bookstore) brings them together, Luca begins to discover that maybe softness isn't weakness. Maybe it's the kind of strength you only find when someone finally sees you - really sees you - and stays. A tender slow-burn romance about learning to trust, the courage in vulnerability, and the quiet power of being known.
