Love was never the game plan

Grayson

It only took one night with my “straight” best friend to change everything.

I never would’ve crossed the friendship line with Austin, but he blazed over it, and we spent the most incredible night together. Of course, it was too good to be true.

He ran from me the next morning, and I’m struggling to navigate my desire and his boundaries.

It feels like one wrong move and years of friendship will be destroyed.

Austin

Almost everything I knew about myself was a lie. Except the part where I always harm the people I love.

Sometimes love demands honesty—even if it breaks everything.

It doesn’t matter that I crave him—I need to protect Grayson from the devastation I cause. The problem: he’s the one person I can’t live without.

If I tell him the truth, I could lose him. But by staying silent, I already have.
