The Other Guy (BoyxBoy) ✔️ by geekiechicforall13

"I walked over to where Aaron was sitting on the ground, kneeling so that I was face-to-face with him. He was wearing a blank expression on his face so I guess he didn't really care if I kissed him or not. I took in a deep breath before taking his face in both of my hands and swooping down to kiss him. At first, I was so nervous I didn't realize that we were already kissing but after a few moments, I realized how soft his lips felt on my own. Before I can register it I felt him moving against me. I would have gotten off of him but I realize that he wasn't moving to get away from me. No, He was moving his lips against mine." °°°°° Aiden Moore isn't extraordinary. He has average looks, he is OK with sports, and his only strong point is that he is smart (although that doesn't mean much to his fellow classmates). And, of course, his virgin ass has never had a girlfriend, let alone a crush. It seemed as if he would never find someone. That was until he met her, Scarlett Hale. She was the most beautiful girl you will ever meet. Kind, sweet, and one of the few people with a higher GPA then him, she was amazing and Aiden imagined that she would be all his. Once Aiden gets rid of her boyfriend, Aaron Tyler. The most annoying guy you will ever meet, Aiden gags just thinking about him. The man is smoking hot and makes Aiden's dreams of getting the girl to seem very impossible. So what would happen if Aiden gets involved with the wrong person? Will Aiden get the girl? Will he fall short? Or will he fall into the arms of a guy who is in love with the girl he loves? _______________________________________ WARNING: First book EVER!

Crack Black [BxB] by K_M_Victor

{Completed} Crack Black In the gritty alleys of a nameless city, fate throws together two boys from opposing worlds. Black, a hardened thug with a reputation to uphold, crosses paths with Tony, a rebellious "schoolboy" caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. When Black saves Tony from a brutal attack by street kids, an unlikely bond is forged. But this is no ordinary friendship. Beneath the bravado and casual insults, feelings begin to stir-confusing, forbidden, and unspoken. Neither is ready to risk everything by crossing the line, afraid of what the other might think, afraid of shattering the fragile connection they've built. As life throws them into chaos, loyalties will be tested, truths will surface, and emotions will rise like smoke in the night. Will Black's tough exterior crack, or will his need to protect his pride and masculinity keep him from something real? And what about Tony-will he break through the walls around Black's heart, or lose himself trying? In a world where love is dangerous and vulnerability is weakness, some bonds might be too risky to hold. Or maybe, they're the only ones worth fighting for.

$Once in a Lifetime {BxB English} by Iris_Hayley$

They say you only fall in love once. For Ody and Mano, that once changed everything. In a world where love isn't always safe, and pain comes hand-in-hand with desire, two straight boys find each other in the middle of grief, trauma, and secrets that refuse to stay buried. Mano doesn't do vulnerability. Aggressive, tattooed, cold, and impossible to like, he plays the villain on purpose, because being hated is safer than being seen... and losing someone again would ruin him. Ody can't help but care. Bright, extroverted, charming and painfully sincere, he's the kind of boy who notices when you're hurting... even when you pretend you're not. He remembers your birthday, offers you the last slice, and apologizes even when it's not his fault. When their lives collide, nothing about them makes sense, except the way they keep gravitating toward each other. Sparks fly, but so do secrets, buried trauma, and a love neither of them is ready for. One of them hides behind silence. The other hides behind smiles. Together, they're wildfire. But not all fires survive the storm. The forbidden love between a broken boy and a lost one - a bond that refuses to break, even as the world tries to tear them apart. 🖤New chapter every Friday🖤 !
