My Mistakes: A BxB Story by sugainmytee

Dane has always been Mr. Chill. His friends think of him as the centered, calm, even kind of guy. He plays the piano. Bakes on the weekends. Does good in school. Always follows the rules. Everyone relies on him for comfort and support, knowing he is the poster boy for common sense no matter what the situation. But... Really, he has a past. And it's not pretty. Well, it IS smoking hot but he's not proud of it. And now that his past has come to walk the halls of his high school, his image as the boring but safe nerd is crumbling all around him. === This is part two of Best Friends. It will make far more sense if you read that book first. The description sounds kind of moody and dark, but actually, honestly, it's going to be funny. There's a high school musical, lots of gay sex, and angsty misunderstandings and mix ups. It's my version of Nerd/Jock . Enjoy!!

VICE by WonpilsPiano

*THIS STORY IS UNDER COMPLETE RECONSTRUCTION.* Prickly, sarcastic, self-aware Austin is roped into a risky dare by his best friend that leads to one of the most frustratingly eventful days of his young life. Not one for attention, Austin has preferred a quiet life within the otherwise chaotic and cruel confines of high school that is fueled by pubescent hormones and pointless drama. For years, he has maintained that normalcy until he wakes up one day to a whirlwind of misunderstandings that he can't take back that was caused by a mistake his sister made. Within the misunderstandings, one new entity in his life --that is not by design of his own, springs up and somehow weasels his way into Austin's world. Noah. Noah is a new boy in town whose mission in life seems to be centered around driving Austin mad! He himself is shrouded in mystery and, despite his erratic mannerisms, something about him effortlessly pulls Austin to him as time goes by that even Austin's resistance cannot fight against. It's an innate need for freedom and affection that connects them in an otherworldly manner; which becomes their saving grace as they battle both present and past demons on a quest to find happiness.

Mr. Match (BoyxBoy) ✓ by euwangabrielll

I'm Finn Vasco but that's not quite important right now. I'm a pretty sarcastic guy if I'm gonna be honest. I'm closed off and I literally only have one friend. I might hate everybody in my school... but there's this guy there. He's... let's say, dreamy, someone who I thought would never even acknowledge my existence. That guy who was too damn good to be true, who was too good for me, who was too good for... everybody! You get what I'm trying to say. He's that cliché king of the campus and a popular and attractive heartthrob and with just one wink, he can send people on their knees... That sounded so wrong, anyway. So can you blame me for being over the moon when one day, he approached me only to what? ...To ask for my help courting my freaking best friend. I knew it was stupid for me to hope I'd even have any chance with him anyway. So I just agreed to help him. Even if I was hurting myself and potentially my best friend in the process, my best friend who has been there with me through the thick and thins, I still did it... I mean what could go wrong besides literally everything? So my plan was to just set my crush and my best friend up, and then everything would be alright... right? But of course, life doesn't like it when people have it easy. *** Highest Ranking #2 on #lgbtfiction #5 on #boyxboy #6 on #gay #8 on #teenfiction *** ~ WARNING: This story contains strong language and bullying.

Nathan's life: school, work, secrets, and survival. Ryder's life: soccer, friends, awesomeness, and his mom's annoying attempts to set him up. Nathan doesn't need any more trouble, but when he meets Ryder, trouble is all he gets. (BOYXBOY. NO LIKEY MY NATEY? GET DA FLUCK OFF MY STORY! also trauma warning, pls stay safe if you are triggered my mature scenes/traumatic experiences) HEY O BUDDY O PALS! If this story looks familiar, it's because you might have read TRB on my old account UnicornPoo. I lost the account T__T so I'll be reposting here! And on the bright side, I'll be doing some revision since this was written back in 2012-2017 and it could use a facelift. THANK YOU THANK YOU! ENJOY!

Brutal by sup3r_n0va_

"What did I want? I wanted to be someone else. Or I wanted to live in a world where I didn't have to want to be someone else." *** Connor Hill lives a life of routine: He goes to school, hangs out with his friends, pretends to be straight, rinse and repeat. He lives a life of anonymity, hiding the fact that he's gay from everyone he knows. But everything changes when he encounters the brooding, enigmatic soccer player, Josh Brooks. As the boys keep finding themselves crossing paths, it becomes more and more difficult to stay apart. Connor begins to question if his philosophy of remaining anonymous is just as painful as coming out and allowing the world to see him as someone they might reject. Secrets will be spilled. Will the truth strengthen the boys' bond? Or will their worlds be shattered? [2024 WATTYS SHORTLIST]
