The Taste of Temptation

I'm usually pretty good at hiding my feelings behind a good joke, but hiding the feelings I've grown to have for my best friend might be impossible.
Archer: Hockey players don't talk about their emotions. That's the stereotype, and the rule I've made myself live by. Keep your deep thoughts to yourself or whatever. But then I started playing college hockey with Theo, and he's someone I can really talk to. Although, there's one thing I can't talk to him about, and that's the lingering feelings I have for him.
Theo: My dad was always big into hockey, therefore, he made me start playing young. It was always something I did to make him happy, but I never found joy in it for myself. When I went away to college, I met Archer, and he made me enjoy the sport again. Or maybe it's not the sport I enjoy, it's just him being around.
Archer and Theo may share a profound bond that started off with friendship, but once they get a taste, the temptation is all too strong to ruin that. The question is, for better or worse?

Now my goal is to get drafted by a good team in the NHL. I can't have my eyes straying. Yet they do, and they catch on the worst person possible. Caden: I never put much effort into being good at hockey. I just am. As a left wing for my college hockey team, I get into a lot of fights on the ice. Ok, and maybe off of it too. I choose to not care what anyone thinks, and that infuriates a lot of people. Mainly Wyatt. Although Wyatt and Caden might come to blows, often with fists, it'll be their hearts that take the Hardest Hit.Complete

If Desires Could Bleed
Caldwell Moore has spent years building walls that no one can see through, not even his best friends. He's trying to make it through the school year, his loud jokes and laughter a distraction from his struggles with reading and writing, and how eating sometimes feels like something impossible. He's tired of hiding from everyone he knows, but he feels so secure in the lie that he doesn't know how to change. Greyson Hart is unashamed and doesn't care what anyone thinks of him. The new student with a loud attitude has no time to deal with Caldwell's arrogance and self-righteousness. Thrown together on a project and finding themselves running into each other more than often, the pair have to confront their struggles and learn how to tolerate each other. But neither of them hate the tension that grows between them: the stolen glances, a brush of fingers and a stuttering of breath. They share vulnerability, something that scares the two of them more than they care to admit. Their feelings for each other are strong, dangerous. But could their desire be the very thing that could ruin them?

𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐁𝐎𝐘 ⋆ BL
❝Theo didn't plan on spending his summer at a boxing gym. He didn't plan on any of it, really - the job, the bullshit he accidentally stumbled into, or the guy who made it very clear, in no uncertain terms, that stumbling in his world was not going to be tolerated. Silas Crowe is not what Theo expected. Then again, Theo's not sure what he expected - the rumors never quite agreed on the details. What he does know is that Silas is difficult, and cold, and takes up more space than any one person reasonably should. And that for some reason Theo can't entirely explain, he can't stop looking. ⸻ 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐁𝐎𝐘 ⋆ i'm a motherfuckin' starboy❞
