When I need a date for my cousin Omar’s wedding, I don’t even think of asking my best friend’s brother. Johnny Shiba—my hot as sin, teenage gay awakening—has been gone for years. But now he’s moved back in with his brother and me, and, no, he hasn’t gotten less hot. Being in close quarters with him, my decade-long crush only burns brighter.

I've spent all of my adulthood bound to my best friend. He's outgoing, fun, and sexy; how else did he get the nickname Hamadi Huge Body Amin? Is he the brightest bulb in the box?

My goal is to be strong and get built. Falling for my gorgeous, straight gym bro is against all the rules. I realize I’m unapologetically, flamboyantly gay. My board game buddies accept me as I am. I love my eyeliner, my accessories, and even my curly hair. Not every gay man is into that, hence my cruddy love life. But the one thing I want to modify is my physique. I might never be ‘masc,’ but I can be muscular. No one will hurt me again if I become brawny and big, just like the dudes I’m into.

This dude was my first crush as a preteen, but somewhere along the line he grew to despise me. But I’m not that giant, stuttering teenager anymore, and Natie is all man. I can ignore these stupid unrequited feelings as we work together. But over time, this town becomes a place I can call home again.

My life is turned upside down when I'm suddenly given custody of my sister's infant daughter. My dad used to call me the troubled child.

The problem is that I'm barely able to stand on my own feet, and the sudden pressure of caring for a newborn is too much. I guess that’s why I formed a fascination with a local children’s show host and author.

Austen's always wondered about the words on his wrist, "my sun still sets without you, like nothing ever happened." Sam's wondered the same, with "so keep out of my room because I've seen enough of you today" grazing his.
