Eat The Rich (bxb) | ✔ by dreammcatcher

Micah hates the rich. Working at an upper class restaurant in Mayfair proves all the reasons why. Entitled, rude and ignorant customers with more money than Micah could earn in his lifetime. As Micah struggles to pay rent and fees for university, he doesn't live a life of luxury. He despises how the rich live and how they treat others, annoyed at how society allows the rich to become more rich and ignore those who struggle to get by. Having to send money home monthly to his chronically ill mother, Micah knew that the easiest way to earn a good salary was to move to London and chase his dreams. When he comes across Weston, a new regular at the restaurant. He prejudges him just like the rest. Dressed in a different designer suit every visit, freshly polished shoes and a bunch of new clients. Micah knows exactly what he is like. Except Weston is determined to change Micah's mind on his overpowering opinions towards him and prove that he rightfully earned his successes by helping him get his own.

Alexander is a middle child in the large family. At the prime age of fourteen he's starting to become confused about many things in his life such as where he fits in, what he wants to do when he's older and his sexuality. Nolan is in the same boat. Though he is not part of the Valentine family he got the privilege of living down the street from them. He had a slightly smaller family with only a slightly better income. But the only things Nolan feels he needs is astronomy, books and his best friend Alexander who is always getting them into trouble.

Matteo Bailey and Ruben Starling were never supposed to get along. As two rising solo artists at the peak of their careers, their rivalry was the stuff of tabloid gold-snide remarks in interviews and a fan-fueled firestorm of competition. But somewhere between the chaos of the music industry and the relentless pressure of fame, their animosity gave way to something unexpected: a tentative friendship built on late-night conversations, shared frustrations, and an unspoken understanding no one else could offer. As the world speculates about their every move, Matteo and Ruben must figure out what truly matters-and how much of themselves they're willing to risk for the connection they never saw coming. Enemies. Friends. Something more? Fame changes everything. © yuanjia 2025 Highest Rankings: #1 slowburn out of 84k stories #1 friendstolovers out of 51.7k stories #1 gayfiction out of 27.7k stories #1 singer out of 19.9k stories #1 lgbtromance out of 788 stories #1 bxbromance out of 232 stories #2 gayromance out of 28.9k stories #3 gay out of 391k stories #3 wattpride out of 18.6k stories #5 lgbtlove out of 17.8k stories #9 pride out of 29.4k stories #9 queer out of 18.7k stories #10 gayfiction out of 28.7k stories

Sweet Sensations by Friends_Bee

Don't blush. It will just make you look sweeter... Whack! Smack! Slap! Xavier That sound has always made my heart flutter. Especially after a fateful game of truth or dare in college. Awkward freshman, meet dreamboat senior. Humiliating. Except I'm not in college anymore. I'm twenty-five, and inheriting my father's candy store. And that dreamboat is suddenly back in Denver. He's brought his dashing smile with him from Manhattan. Not to mention those strong hands. For one year, he's in Denver to manage a prestigious city redevelopment project. The kind of big budget thing they throw galas for. The kind of project that just might steamroll a little candy shop like mine. But when it comes to Dominick, it's not only my shop that's in trouble. If there is one man who can make me confess my desires, it's him. Desires I never thought I could speak, let alone feel... Desires that beat in my heart for him, whether I'm prepared to admit it or not. #4 - lgbt #1 - mxb
