Alex thought he had it all then he got a shot of cold water. Years later he is finally getting his life to where he wants it to be. All except one little complication. So what does he do when he starts to really care for that complication. Letting go might mean someone might die. But it wasn't his fight. No matter the trouble he just can't let go.

====== Excerpt

Alex heard a thump then a whimper. He scanned the area around him and then looked down the alley that was close by. He searched the darkness and saw leaning against the brick wall a slumped over figure. he debated then started to walk on not sure it was worth the risk, but the figure stopped groaned and fell. Alex sighed. There was no way he'd be able to walk away now. He went over and carefully rolled the figure over and was surprised to see it was a very young man. Alex couldn't see any wounds but when he searched, he found a large bruise on his side that had broken open and gotten infected. 
"Looks like you got the raw end of a beating. Better get you to a hospital." a hand shot out and grabbed his wrist.
"NO! no hospital. just leave me alone."
"No hospital huh? your wound is infected. if you leave it, it could kill you."
"I'll be fine." he said then promptly passed out. Alex snorted and gathered the boy up and stood.All Rights Reserved

" I want you to stop trying to kiss my son's ass, that's no way to get promoted in this school. You also need to stop coming to see my wife, I don't need you trying to get in her pants."

Well then, that makes me feel better. Then are you trying to get in my son's pants?"He looked at him. Liam shook his head no.' If only he came in here sooner" Teacher x Student

Love In Boxing Ring by 1410pooja

" this all is your fucking fault" all of a sudden I was slammed against my locker,towering over me was my arch enemy 'Sam the Dam'. My head was pounding against the hard surface,I hissed in pain glaring straight to him. He was fuming with anger like a predator ready to attack his prey. He stretched his right hand to grab my neck and placed the left one on my shoulder to keep me still. He lowered his chin to my ear and snarled "you are fucking dead 'Meth' ,if I have a slightest clue of your involvement in this shit, I will hunt you down till your last breath". I was choking on air and my vision was a blur ,for a while I thought I was going to die .Mustering all the courage that I could have found, I yanked him away from me. Mean while I was gasping for the air, that dickhead had his usual cocky smirk. I aimed at him and broke his nose ,blood oozing in droplets" want to mess with me Sammy! , first of all clear your own shit, you son of a bitch! "with that I punched hard-on his lower abdomen while he was still holding his bleeding nose, I left the locker room with a sense of victory. Two competent boxers who can't stand each other for a moment without insulting.... Ultimately fall in love. Man*man gay romance leave if you are homophobic.

Basically Strangers (revised) by OnlineGinger

You weren't supposed to be alive, and Arkin wasn't supposed to survive. You weren't exactly happy, but you were surviving in your little life with your abusive father and his whore of a stripper girlfriend. And then you saw a man throw someone down the flight of stairs next to your apartment. Throwing caution to the wind, you didn't care what happened next. You just didn't know you'd get a friend, a family, and maybe even a lover. But Arkin can't run from the past for forever. Only question is, how much is he willing to risk to keep you safe? ***** Many of you may remember my story Basically Strangers. This is the better version, rewritten to make more sense. Its yandere x nonbinary reader. I've changed the story and edited the characters. The reader uses they/them pronouns. Okay, so. This is going to be a weird thing to say, but Arkin has a caregiver personality towards the reader. Anyone who knows about or takes part in age regression will recognize that fairly quickly. If his personality and actions make you uncomfortable, stop reading. Don't get mad at me for my character. This was originally based on the idea of "I like you and literally nobody else". I originally wrote the story when I was 14. I'm rewriting it as a 17 year old. Let me know what you think of the newer version! Cover Art by Me, OnlineGinger All characters by Me Mine. All mine.

The Naughty List | MxM by ElijahDiva

Once Caleb reached the bottom of the stairs he quietly opened the door and tiredly switched on the light "Jayden it isn't morning yet buddy you need to-" he froze in place staring at a man he didn't know standing in his living room. The man stared back at him like a deer in the headlights, he looked a few years older than Caleb, had stubble growing around his face, dark brown greasy hair that wasn't styled in any particular way and was wearing full black aside from the muddy navy blue trainers he was sporting. "Who the fuck are you and what are you doing here?" Caleb demanded in a hushed whisper, he also noticed the black backpack the stranger was carrying and the open living room window he'd clearly used to gain entry, the vase that was previously rested on the windowsill lay in pieces on the ground, that must've been the crash that had awoken Caleb from his tranquil slumber. "Just a passerby, no one much" the strange man whispered back an air of mystery hanging about his every word. "Inside my living room?" Caleb replied folding his arms and sizing the man up, after his beating earlier in the evening he wasn't exactly fighting fit, the intruder was also taller and muscly, there's no way Caleb would win if it came to a fight. "Consider me Santa Claus alright? Now go back to bed kid" the man answered calmly pointing at the door as if Caleb was a child. "I'm not a little kid anymore, I'm 18. Santa isn't real" Caleb responded harshly taking a step forward, the man noticeably took a step towards the window eyeing Caleb up with a smirk.

Appointment by toucant

Welcome, Mark Fischbach. Enter Progress Report? -Yes No Feb 8th, XXXX. He's getting better. When he first came in, he didn't speak. He told me what happened to him. He's been through Hell. Friends murdered right in front of him. Forced to drink their blood as the maniac held a gun to his head. He was raped, left unconscious on the pile of corpses. No wonder he didn't want to live anymore. No wonder he jumped. I know I have to save him, and I want to, I just don't know how I can. All I can do for now is talk to him. Talk to him, and maybe then I can offer the little comfort I have. I want to save him. I can still see a spark of life, something flickering there. But I saw that in the last patient, too. Turn in Progress Report? -Yes No Progress Report dispatched. Thank you, Mark Fischbach. Log out? -Yes No Have a nice day! ((Trigger warning/ probably everything))

Tomorrow You Will All Be Gone - Hamilton Fanfic by _Smiley_Trashbag_

There's gonna be a lot of gayness in this just to say. Also gonna be a bit angst so... Yeah. Takes place in a modern times and starts in college if ya wanted to know. ~~~~ I've changed my mind. This isn't worth it anymore. I stood there, already regretting this decision before it even started. "1! 2! 3! 4! 5! 6! 7! 8! 9! 10! FIRE!" I couldn't even turn around. My arm raised up high towards the sky. He fired his gun. The ends of my vision went white. I managed to be able to turn around enough to see everyone that had come. All the blurred figures. I heard muffled screams. Someone ran over to me as I fell down, catching me. They screamed at me, I don know what they said. The pain in my stomach hurt too much. I was scared, terrified even. I had enough energy to place my hand on the person's cheek, I felt their tears on my hand. I managed to say one thing before I passed out, "See you on the other side.."

Tattooed Illusions (BxB) by Mendezgirl2003

"Go to hell," Zeus snarled, his brown eyes narrowed into slits. "Where the fuck do you think I came from?" Nika laughed dryly. Scars wrapped around their arms, hidden beneath tattooed illusions and cruel smirks. Anger clouds their eyes. Blood stains the bathroom tiles and cigarette smoke paints the walls. Silence engulfs the bedrooms. The students mask their fear with terrifying emotions, afraid of letting their true colors show. Because at Meadowsville High, a pair of metaphorical handcuffs encircle their wrists, a haunting memory of their pasts. Warning: sexual themes, mentions of abuse, alcohol, drugs, selfharm, sleep disorders, eating disorders, and panic attacks. The characters will cry more than most do on Wattpad, they will hit rock bottom, they will break down, and they will feel like they're suffocating. If this bothers you in any way, refrain yourself from reading.

The Citizen Soldier (DNF) by CheetahBoi

!!Trigger warning: suicide, Implied/Referenced Self Harm!! Warnings before sections. . This book is currently discontinued, if I find motivation to finish it it is not in the foreseeable future. . "Trust me." His voice was soft and calming, the way that a good father could be assumed to sound. "This isn't what you want, it never has been and it never will be. Confusion is difficult to work through, but if you just let me help you, I can show you that it can be worked through." He rolled up his sleeve, showing several white streaks across his skin. The other was shocked. "N-no, I'm not good for anything, I'm nothing there's nothing for me." He shook his head many times, holding it in his hands after a bit. "No." "Can I touch you?" The boy who was trying to help this poor soul had approached a few paces. His voice was now quieter, more soft, and still caring. The boy at the bridge took a moment to think, then nodded his approval. The savior gently took the boy's hands delicately in his own and gently pulled the boy back. Well, less of a pull and more of a gentle suggestion. It worked and the boy stumbled down off of the edge. The boy started to cry. How could he be so weak that a boy, the same age as him, who seemed to have the same ideas and hatred toward himself as he, could keep him from stepping off? The other simply gently led him to his vehicle and took out a water bottle out of the backseat. The boy took it and looked at it suspiciously. "It's untampered, look, it's still sealed." Upon seeing this, the boy opened it and took a few sips of water. "Thank you. For the water." The savior smiled. "It's nothing much." He shrugged. "Have a phone? If you want I can put my number in and then you'll always be able to tell someone if you're having a pissy day." Surprisingly enough, the boy agreed. . They would both be around twenty.

A To Z by SmlAlwaysOriginal

Angelo finds his dream guy but how hard is it going to be to be together. Excerpt: "Ouch." I focus beyond my sister at the really cute, strike that make it, hot guy. I'd run into his ankle with the cart. "Damn I'm sorry." He frowns. My sister has her I'm sorry face on. "I was goofing with her and wasn't watching where I was going." "I see. Is she yours?" It wasn't the first time someone had asked me that. "She's me sister so I do claim her. I've got a brother too, him I don't claim, he's got that whole older brother I'm always right thing." He smiles and chuckles a little. His eyes go to her. "You are a very pretty young lady." She grins and tips her head in her I'm so cute and everyone loves me way. "No she's an ugly little troll." I tease tickling her. She gives me her scrunched up fake angry look but laughs when I give it back. The guy I'd run into was watching us smiling. I blush a little. "Sorry I'm Angelo, this is my sister Anise my brother is Andy. My parents forgot about the other twenty five letters in the alphabet when they named us."He laughed. I liked to make people laugh. They'd forget about any trouble if only for a few moments and that made me feel good to know they were a little lighter as they went on about their day. He held out his hand. "I'm Zachary." "Ooh A to Z in a new way. Cool." I shake his hand and it doesn't escape me how he holds it a second longer and trails his thumb over the back of my hand. Ooh he was flirting. I give my best flirty smile. He was hot, why not. "Maybe we could hang out find new ways to go from A to Z?" I flirt. I watch his tongue sneak out and lick his lips as his eyes skim over me. "That'd be nice. Though I'm thinking you might be a little young for me." I chuckle "I might not look it but I'm legal." Just barely.
