Love Thy Neighbor ✓ by swallowedhearts

[BXB] Blake Collins moves in next door and Luca Mendoza's world turns upside down. ☆☆☆ When popular football player Blake Collins moves in next door, Luca Mendoza assumes it won't change a thing in their nonexistent relationship (regardless of the crush that he may or may not have). But then Blake's infuriating thirteen-year-old brother comes into the picture. He plays his music too loud, constantly kicks his soccer ball over the fence and is generally a pain in Luca's ass. When Luca decides he has no other choice but to confront this terror of a middle schooler, he fails to realize that Blake has overheard him until it's too late. To his surprise, the incident triggers a friendship between the two of them and Luca begins to wonder if he has a better shot with Blake than he's been giving himself credit for.
