The story of unrequited love has been told over and over again. It is arguably one of the most distinguishable tropes in all of romance history, right up there with 'bad boy' or 'forbidden love'. But is there a term for when two people pine for each other, completely unaware of their mutual attraction?From the sandpits in kindergarten to university lecture halls, Taylor and Darko have been there together. When Taylor's not jamming out to punk-rock music, he's practising the piano, dreaming of playing on a world stage someday. Darko's motocross skills are unmatched (well, at least he says they are). On paper, the two are chalk and cheese. But, despite their differences, these two best friends share one thing - a life-changing secret. They're madly in love with each other. The only problem? They're both too scared to do anything about it. With graduation looming, Taylor and Darko each realise that they want to come out to the world and start their post-uni lives in the most authentic ways possible. It's not that easy, though. Taylor's struggling with a dark family secret. Darko knows that if he comes out to his family and tells them who he truly is, he risks losing everything.Plus, they're terrified of how the other would react.Will they burst out the closet, or will they choose to maintain the façade?〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓The Pride Awards - 3rd Place in the NA Romance category @FreeTheLGBT…

Kian Brown, a cynical and sarcastic ex-rugby player, is trapped in an elevator with office sweetheart Tate on his way to a potential promotion. Will they go crazy while they wait for freedom or will something more start to bloom? ==========================Kian Brown has one focus. He dreams of getting promoted at Beauke.co--the illustrious publishing house he works at--to give him the financial stability he needs to support his dream of being a poet. He's told himself that no matter what, he won't let anything stop him from achieving his dream; he's worked too hard and suffered too much to let that happen. That is until he, on the way to a very important meeting with his boss about a potential promotion, ends up trapped in an elevator with the one person he's been actively avoiding; Tate Wilkinson, the only person that has the skills for the promotion Kian's gunning for. His witty charm that makes Kian unable to form sentences doesn't help either. Fearing that Tate could be the end of Kian's career, he's kept his distance, hoping that he doesn't succeed. At least, that's what he tells himself. As tensions rise and body heat gets trapped in the elevator, Kian's not sure if its the room or Tate's perfectly windswept brunet hair or his wide sky-blue eyes that's making him sweat. As Kian reluctantly gets to know him while they wait for a way out, Kian discovers that maybe, just maybe, his poetry dream isn't the only thing missing from his life, and that his attraction towards Tate might not just be one sided. ==========================Prompt #47.Cover made by the lovely @pea0buttersandwich !…
