Alex uses hookups to stay wanted without being known.
Jamie uses one to prove he hasn't disappeared.
When a failed hookup turns into something unfinished, both men are forced to face the feelings they never planned to risk.

***

Hookup 49 was supposed to be forgettable.
For Alex, hookups are muscle memory. Names blur, bodies don't. Wanting without being known is the rule-and it's worked so far.

For Jamie, this is his first time walking into a stranger's apartment without love to soften the edges. He's not chasing pleasure. He's trying to get over his ex.. trying to prove he still exists outside his past.

When their almost-hookup collapses under the weight of unspoken wounds, both men walk away unsettled-carrying something unfinished they don't have words for yet.

By fate, they meet again.
​And again.

​And each time, it gets harder to pretend that unfinished hookup meant nothing.

-ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈ 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. -ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈ ★ A devastating exploration of teen mental health, trauma, and what it means to be truly seen ★ Multiple POVs: Oliver, Luke, and Ava ★ For fans of "All The Bright Places" and "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" ⚠️ Content warnings: suicide, self-harm, substance abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence, drowning #26 teenager, out of 74,8k stories💕 #138 teen, out of 380k stories 💕 #322 gay, out of 392k stories 💕

"I hate you - so much Tripp." More confusion because, once more, wasn't this a good thing? "Why did you have to say that? What if," A little quieter, just above a whisper. "What if we mess up our friendship?" "But what if we don't?" "You don't know that," I bumped his nose with my finger. "And neither do you. So, why don't we give it a shot?" He bit down on his bottom lip, hesitation and worry filling his gaze. __ This is literally a story that follows the plot of two best friends realizing their feelings for each other, yes, I know, very cliche, but I enjoyed writing it. There will be mature LGBT+ content, so if you don't want to read those chapters or this story, skip it.
