It Was A Mistake

Tags: MxM, friends with benefits, unrequited love, jealousy, Dl, secret, interracial, first love. Demi and Alex have been best friends for as long as anyone can remember. They know each other’s habits, flaws, and breaking points. What they don’t know is how to undo the night they crossed a line neither of them saw coming. Drunk, Curious, Complicated. Demi is hiding who he is. Alex insists he’s straight. And somehow, they keep ending up in each other’s beds anyway. They call it friends with benefits, why?, because calling it anything else would force them to face the truth. But feelings don’t follow rules, and denial only works until it doesn’t. Set in the uneasy final stretch of senior year, this is a story about desire, denial, and the terrifying risk of wanting someone who might never want you back the same way.
