BOY KISSER (bxb)

INTRO

Hi, everyone! 

I just have a few things to say before we begin. Some trigger warnings, extra things about the book, and a shout out to someone who helped me a lot while writing this stupid book.

I'm Howie. Yes, it's short for Howard.

What's funny is the fact that I'm a transgender guy. I literally chose my name, and I picked Howard. That should tell you something about me: I'm fucking weird.

I live in Houston, so most of my writing takes place in the south. This story is set in a suburb called Riley. I'm not sure if that's an actual place, but whatever. It is in this book. Living in Houston is great, but it also means that I deal with conservative, homophobic/transphobic, racist, redneck assholes on a daily basis, which is always interesting.

I have zero patience for bullies or bigots. If you are here to criticize my writing or the people who read it, please. Save us both time and just leave.

This is a boyxboy story. That means it's gay as shit.

THIS BOOK IS SET IN 2004, A YEAR I DO NOT REMEMBER. I HONESTLY DON'T THINK I EXISTED YET, BUT I SAW GILMORE GIRLS SO I BASICALLY LIVED IT

There are some themes in this book that may be troubling to some people. There's homophobia, which is actually a necessity for a good boyxboy love story, one suicide attempt (HEAR ME OUT), and dysfunctional families. If there's something in the chapter that might be upsetting, I'll put a warning in advance. <3

Also, yes. There's smut. Y'all are crazy.

I started writing this series in middle school, which feels like a gazillion years ago. (It really wasn't, I'm only in high school.) I did it by hand on notebook paper- which was not the smartest idea- in the back of my English class. That class was literally useless. I already know English. It's the first language I learned, actually, so why make it complicated? 

I did't tell anyone about the book until a last year. I'm super-duper introverted and I have a really hard time talking to anyone about... well, anything. At least until I met my best friend and the love of my life, Sam. ( SAM_ISNT_SANE )

My extroverted, feral munchkin. Yes, I'm devoting this book to you.

You're an asshole and found my notebooks under my bed and read every chapter. I'll never forgive you. This kid convinced me to put my stories on Wattpad like a "normal person", whatever that means. 

You helped me all throughout the editing and rewriting process. My parents were going through a divorce when you and I were in eighth grade, and you were the only person I could really talk to about it. You're a really good friend and my biggest cheerleader. I really do love you lots.

ALSO, DON'T THINK I FORGOT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED HALLOWEEN LAST YEAR STOP GASLIGHTING ME BITCH

Anyways, just a few minor things:

Jack's house is literally just my grandparents house, so just imagine whatever you want lol. Make it cozy.

ALSO THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!

I promise not to put pictures of the boys! It's a pet peeve of mine and I always want to scream when authors ruin my super-hot mental image of a boyxboy character, so I won't do it. You have my word.

Okay, I'm done now.

And now, ladies, gentleman, and other snobs, here's Jack Morgan.
