Ren Carter never planned on confessing his feelings for Asher. Especially not over his brother's gaming headset. After years of bottling everything up, Ren finally cracks and decides he has to tell someone. So he tells his older brother, Kai. The problem is Kai happens to be Asher's best friend. And thanks to the mic Kai forgot to mute, Asher hears everything. By the time Kai realizes what happened, it's already too late. Now Ren can't look at his phone without feeling sick. He stays locked in his room whenever Asher comes over to the apartment, and every accidental interaction between them feels charged with the unbearable knowledge of Ren's feelings. Because hearing someone confess to you is one thing. Hearing it when they never intended for you to know at all is another thing entirely. **inspired by a short webcomic panel I drew.

IMPORTANT: Once in a Lifetime has been removed from Wattpad and is preparing for publication on Amazon. The first two chapters remain available as a preview. Please read the "READ THIS FIRST" chapter for more information and future updates. They say some loves only happen once. For Ody and Mano, that once changes everything. Mano doesn't do vulnerability. Aggressive, tattooed, cold, and impossible to like, he plays the villain on purpose, because being hated is safer than being seen. And losing someone again isn't a risk he's willing to take. Ody is the opposite. Bright, extroverted, charming, and painfully sincere, he notices when you're hurting, even when you pretend you're not. He remembers your birthday, offers you the last slice, and apologizes even when it's not his fault. For someone like Mano, that kind of softness is dangerous. When their lives collide, nothing about them makes sense, except the way they keep gravitating toward each other. What starts as tension becomes something neither of them can name, and soon, something they can't stop. But between secrets, buried trauma, and a world that won't let them exist without consequences, wanting each other comes at a cost. One keeps pushing him away. The other keeps reaching past every warning sign. Together, they burn. But when everything catches fire, love may not be enough to save them.
