Carter Devlin was a normal kid, he knew a lot of people at his school and they knew him. He wasn't popular, he was just kind to just about everybody, but his issues were just like the rest of everybody else's. Self esteem, confidence, social anxiety in large unknown crowds, he always helped but never looked for something in return.
That was until Zodiac, or at lease that's what the boy said his name was, Zodiac Sinclair, or just Zodi for short. He was the one person who was up all hours of the night counting stars, the type of person who loved giving hugs but hated receiving hugs, the one who made too many mistakes but called them,"beautiful mishaps."
The only problem was, Zodi lived in Beaverton, OR while Carter was in New York City. They talked everyday, texting, calling, video chatting, but Carter couldn't afford the plane ticket out and Zodi was only sixteen, Carter could end himself in trouble for just messaging Zodi, he's 19

The Secret To New York (Boyxboy)
It's not a mystery. It's no secret. There are no rumors floating around that aren't perhaps a little bit true. The events leading up to all of this are subtle. They are simple. In-complex in their entirety. His name was Shane. He wasn't new. I was. This was a school. A quite grungy school in a quite washed up city. The humor in all of this? I knew, I always knew that I wasn't what I thought I was. Only because of my inexperience in the area. This is not a love story. It's a story about me finding myself. Me finding who and what I am.

You might even enjoy my misfortune. *Okay, so i give up on editing right now. It's not my main concern, but if you see something and it annoys you to no end, please tell me, because chances are, it's been bothering me too, but I've just been too lazy to search for it, or I think no one will notice because, who reads this anyway?

REVISED:The Boy With A Touch Of Cancer (BxB)
"Leo pinned me against the wall with his hips. His hands gently gripped my wrists, keeping my arms above my head against the cool brick behind me. His quicksilver eyes were filled with such an intense, carnal desire I couldn't even look into them, so I looked over his shoulder. I saw a few kids from the group standing out by their cars who would easily be able to see what we were doing...or at least what Leo was doing to me. At that moment, my mind started wandering to all the things that I could be doing to him right now...but I stopped that train of thought immediately, as it started heading to all the wrong places... All the dirty places. I glanced back at Leo. His gaze was still as intense as it was before. He smirked at me and said confidently, "You can't ignore me forever, Ethan. You're eventually gonna fall for my charms..." Ethan Carter was focused on 2 things. 1. School (obviously) and 2. Getting over ex (it's proving to be, harder than he thought), but now he has to add dying to that list, and suddenly having feelings for a boy. Leo Malone makes Ethan feel things he's never felt for another guy. Leo's sweet, patient, and understanding...the only problem is, he's a guy. Ethan tries to ignore the fact that his heart flutters every time he sees Leo, or that he can't ever stop thinking about him, but if having cancer has taught him one thing, it's that you have to live in the present, as you may not have a future.Complete
