Expression {bxb} by 75goldfish

Liam has a bad habit of closing off his emotions. His tendency to numb has led him to quite the lonesome life, but it's not so bad. Until he meets Spencer, someone who accidentally makes him feel. Spencer, timid, shy, and small, has a terrible home life. But he's faking it till he makes it. Until he meets Liam, someone who teaches him to open up. ~~~~~~ Just another bxb love story ✌🏼 I tried pacing the relationship well, idk how well that worked out 🤷‍♀️ This is completed but it's only ten chapters sorry ; also this is all fluff. I honestly have no ability to gauge how good this book is cause I've read it over so many times I'm numb to it.

Levels [boyxboy] by KBbumble

It all started in my Junior year of high school. That year was when everything changed, when everything that I've known about myself was no longer true. I was just a normal 17 year old boy. One boy, changed that all. He gave me love. He showed me hard time and times that we almost didn't make through. Some things brought us closer together, and some things pushed us apart. But I know, no matter what, I he will always have my heart. (This is book 1 of the levels series.)

Say Something 【boyxboy】√Completed by larkin33

Jude doesn't talk. He can't, even when he wants to. They don't want to hear what he has to say, and they only use their words to hurt him. So why even try anymore? Starting at a new school seems like the perfect opportunity to blend into the background, but it isn't far enough away to start over. Some people just won't let him forget about his past. The teachers don't understand. He can't tell them why. He can't say anything at all. Ross understands. Ross writes to him. Slowly, he pulls Jude out of his shell, waiting for him to say something. ----- Say Something is a story of overcoming fear with the help of friendship and love. As someone who has struggled with anxiety, I tried to do something a little different with my writing style this time by including a lot of thoughts and feelings rather than a ton of description and detail. I'd like to add that it mentions things like sex and violence but I don't plan on going into any graphic detail in this story. There is also occasional cursing. I hope you give it a chance and leave feedback for me as I post new chapters over time. Thank you so much for checking it out! Started: January 15, 2015 Completed: July 28, 2017 **COMPLETED** **ILLUSTRATIONS are being released! The illustrations chapter is private, meaning only followers can view it. Why? This is a present for my followers to show my appreciation for their support! #566 in teen fiction 8/2/17 #2 in lgbt 7/18/20 wow!

It will only hurt you in the end." he removes his hand from my mouth, his facial expression smoothing after he got things off his chest Skylar thinks of himself as worthless, useless and not likeable and being deaf didn't exactly help with his judgment.
