Maverick Sandoval has spent years building the life he always wanted: a successful tattoo shop, an apartment above it, and his childhood best friend only a flight of stairs away.
For as long as he can remember, Johnny has been there.
The musician with a guitar in one hand and a notebook full of unfinished songs in the other has been part of every chapter of Maverick's life. Living together is easy. Being best friends is easy. Pretending there isn't something more between them? That's getting harder every day.
When Johnny is offered an opportunity that could finally launch his music career, Maverick is forced to confront a fear he's spent years ignoring: what happens if Johnny leaves?
As old feelings surface and secrets hidden in song lyrics and tattoo designs begin to unravel, their friendship is pushed to its breaking point. To make things worse, Maverick's twin sister has never forgiven Johnny for rejecting her in high school and isn't afraid to remind everyone of it.
Caught between dreams, loyalty, and feelings neither of them know how to name, Maverick and Johnny must decide whether risking their friendship is worth the chance at something more.
Because sometimes the person you've been searching for your entire life has been right beside you all along.

Room 208 [BL]
NOAH: Sharing a room with Adrian Torres was not part of my academic excellence plan. He's loud. He's always shirtless. And he seems to enjoy pissing me off a little too much. I don't like him. I don't think about his stupid smile. Or his ridiculous abs. And I definitely don't get jealous when he flirts with other people. (Which is constant.) This is fine. I'm fine. Totally, completely fine. ADRIAN: I didn't ask to share a room with the guy who humiliated me on the first day of junior year. But now I live with Noah Hart - the repressed, uptight, annoyingly organized Noah Hart. He looks at me like he wants to kill me. And I like it. Which is hilarious. Because I don't like him. I just like pissing him off. We argue. He glares. I say shit I probably shouldn't. He blushes. I pretend not to notice. (Okay, I notice. A little.) But it's nothing. It's not flirting. I don't even like men. Enemies. Roommates. Something else entirely. Room 208 is a queer slow-burn romance about two boys - one flirty, one repressed - forced to share a dorm room, and everything that unravels after. 🌈 Queer romance. Enemies to lovers. Slow burn tension. Boarding school chaos. Hot boys with no idea what to do with their feelings. 🌈 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞 𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗡𝗘𝗦 🏆 #1 in QueerRomance · Sept 2025

The Choice Of Life
Kenji, who struggles with a lack of appreciation from his parents and his father's homophobic views, finding acceptance only with his sister. His journey towards self-acceptance is framed around his relationship with a new character, Malachi. The story seems to focus on themes of family conflict, the struggle for identity, and the transformative power of love and acceptance in the face of prejudice. Malachi is described as someone who goes to parties, drinks, smokes, and has casual sex, never having fallen in love. He feels unappreciated by his family, especially his father who blames him for everything and hates the fact that Malachi is bisexual. No one sees his true personality until he meets Kenji. Malachi and Kenji, despite being very different, become close friends and eventually fall in love, keeping their relationship secret because it is considered forbidden and risky by their families.
