You Could Have Told Me

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.
