The first time I saw Luke Carter cry, he was trying to drown himself in a pool at midnight.

I didn't stop him. I just watched.

𖹭.ᐟ Oliver Reyes is the boy who seems fine. Star swimmer. Perfect grades. Empty house. He's learned to hold his breath-in the pool, in the pills he counts like prayers, in the silence of being left behind by parents who love him from a distance.

Luke Carter is the boy everyone wants but nobody saves. Golden, reckless, burning out fast. He fights like he's trying to feel something and drowns like he's trying to stop.

愛 When they collide, it's not love at first sight. It's recognition. Two boys who understand that water accepts what people can't. Two boys who've been treading water their whole lives, waiting for someone to notice they're sinking.

But loving someone who's drowning doesn't save them. Sometimes it just means you both go under.

𖹭.ᐟ This is a story about the versions of ourselves we perform for other people. About being everyone's hero when you can barely save yourself. About the fine line between swimming and drowning, between love and destruction, between staying and letting go.

愛 Not all love stories have happy endings.
Some just have honest ones.

Genophobia by xx-WillowDane-xx

Book 2 in the Phobia Series: Book 1 'Monophobia' is on my profile. Genophobia can be read without it, but a lot of inside jokes, characters and events might be confusing. ~~~ Dante meets Flynn on one of the worst nights of his life, and he wants to forget about it altogether. But he can't shake the guilt, and wants to apologize to Flynn-mistake one, because what he didn't remember about that night was that Flynn is unbelievably charming. When they meet up to do exactly that, apologize, he realizes he is making mistake two: feeling an incredibly strong pull towards this mesmerizing stranger. He knows he shouldn't, but he can't help but feel this way. There's various reason as to why he shouldn't, actually, to sum up a few; his parents, his expected focus on his studies, and, of course, the fact he's seen Flynn kiss more girls than he's made goals. And that's saying something. And, last but not least, there's his genophobia.
