The coach nodded slightly at Aiden, who took a deep breath.Aiden placed his hand in the center, and Tristan added his. Aiden frowned, giving him a hard look, but before he could say anything, Colby placed his hand on top as well, followed by the rest of the team."For our reputation," Aiden said, and the boys cheered loudly, earning even more screams from the girls in the stands, many of whom had crushes on both Tristan and Aiden."Play your best as always, okay? The girls are watching," Kai teased, winking at Aiden, who ignored him. The whistle blew, and the game began.Aiden, known for his speed and talent, scored a goal early on. The crowd roared with excitement, cheering his name.He dribbled skillfully near the top of the key, scanning the court as an opponent blocked his path.

Tristan sighed and sat on the edge of his bed, feeling frustrated. Was Aiden sent from hell to torment him? Why had the school involved him with Aiden in the first place? He shouldn't be concerned with matters like this, especially anything to do with Aiden. He needed to find a way to get himself out of this mess."I can't coach him. I won’t coach him," he muttered, standing and making his way toward the bathroom. "If he passes, fine. If he fails, it’s on him. None of my business." But just as he reached the bathroom door, a troubling thought struck him, halting his steps.He might not care about Aiden, but what if the school ignored his plea? What if they kept forcing Aiden on him? These thoughts gnawed at him. Aiden had been stubborn from the beginning, but Tristan thought they'd reached an agreement before the match. So why was Aiden still being such a pain in the neck?"Why is this happening to me?" he groaned, running his hands through his thick black hair in frustration. Everyth

"I see you've finally gone crazy," Aiden said as he left the dining table.Brittany's smile broadened as she glanced between the two of them. "Since you're both here, why not sit down for breakfast?" she suggested."I'm not hungry," Tristan and Aiden responded in unison, causing Brittany to fall silent, the smile gradually slipping from her face."I... I've never seen you two talk like this before. I thought maybe you were finally getting along...""We're not," they both replied in unison again, further irritating Aiden as he began making his way out of the room."Aiden..." his father called after him, but Aiden didn’t stop or look back."Good morning, Sir," Tristan greeted politely, before heading out of the house."Honey, you haven’t even..." Brittany started, her voice dropping, "had breakfast yet," she finished in a soft whisper."Is everything alright?" Andrew asked as he approached his wife, who offered a small smile in response."Actually, it’s a good sign..." she said, causing

Aiden froze as Tristan's words hit him like a punch to the gut. His mind went blank, except for the echo of those cruel words—a word his mother had constantly used on him, a word that had almost driven him to take his own life. A word that was a part of the past he desperately wanted to forget. A past that haunted him then, and still haunted him now.Tristan had just opened the door for those nightmares to resurface.For a moment, neither of them spoke. Tristan stared at Aiden, whose eyes were red with emotion. He could see the hurt in Aiden’s eyes, and his own widened slightly as if realizing he’d crossed a line. Yet, he didn’t take back his words, as he silently watched Aiden clenched his fists.Aiden slowly stood up, his face pale and his eyes burning.“Screw you,” he gritted out before storming out of the library, trying to keep himself from losing his mind entirely.Tristan remained where he was, watching Aiden walk away until he disappeared through the doors. Guilt gnawed at him

Tristan’s eyes were still wide open, and for a moment, he considered leaving Aiden by the roadside. But he took a deep breath, reminding himself that Aiden hadn’t done this on purpose—he was drunk. Despite his frustration, Tristan decided to help him get home. He flagged down a cab, and they got in. After telling the driver their destination, Tristan leaned back in his seat, closing his eyes as the ride began. ****** With his arm tightly wrapped around Aiden’s waist, Tristan struggled to get the drunk Aiden to their dorm. The distance felt like miles and he was beyond frustrated. This wasn’t how he wanted to spend his night, but here he was, taking care of a drunk Aiden, who would probably throw a fit if he remembered who brought him home. Tristan’s thoughts drifted to the memory of their lips brushing, and he sighed in annoyance. He wasn’t going to let Aiden use that incident against him. After all, Aiden was the one who had gotten drunk and acted without thinking. As Aiden le

“Do you feel it too?” Aiden’s voice was so low that Tristan barely heard him, but the words sent a shiver down his spine.As Aiden moved even closer, he blinked several times, taking another step back to put more space between them. A smirk hinted at the corners of Aiden’s silver eyes and caused the skin around his lips to crinkle. He advanced one step forward, then another, until he’d pressed Tristan against the wall with nowhere left for him to go. Tristan’s Adam-apple bobbed as he swallowed hard and tried not to meet Aiden's gaze.“Or is it just me?” Tristan’s breath caught as Aiden’s fingers brushed his, the contact lingering longer than it should have. They were standing too close—closer than brothers should—but neither of them made a move to create space. The heat between them was undeniable in a way that felt dangerous, like standing too close to a flame that could either warm you or burn you alive.Suddenly the power went out, but their faces were still visible thanks to the
Love In The Gray Chapter 2: The confrontation.
Aiden angrily stormed out of the classroom, not responding to the lecturer’s call. How was this even fair? Among all the seniors, he had to be paired with Tristan? That alone got on his nerves and he hated everything else about it too. In fact, it gave him a reason to drop this course—if only he could.“Aiden?” He heard someone call after him but without turning back, he knew it would be one of his friends.“You shouldn’t have left class like that.” Troy said, catching up with him. Aiden rolled his eyes and flicked his hand at the comment.“But that’s not my concern” Troy kept going, “What’s up with you and Tristan?”At that, Aiden suddenly turned towards him, the look on his face so deadly it could stop a heart.“Don’t ever, 'ever', mention that name near me again. ’’ Aiden said through tight lips. Troy only nodded and threw up his hands, not particularly bothered. That was Aiden's problem and he could deal with it however he wanted.“So, what about today’s game? You in?” Troy asked,

"Son of a b*tch!" Aiden sneered, throwing an even harder punch at Tristan before he could retaliate. Tristan shot him a deadly glare, struggling to keep his anger in check.At this moment, he couldn't care less about being the older one. He had been holding back for months, trying to stay calm, but it wasn’t working anymore. For too long, he had let Aiden do whatever he wanted, trying to act mature, but he was done with that now.As Aiden swung at him again, Tristan caught his fist mid-air, using his free hand to throw a brutal punch that split Aiden’s lip instantly.But Aiden wasn't about to back down. The fight escalated, filling the dorm room with the sound of shattering glass, bodies slamming against walls, and labored breaths. Yet, no one stepped in to stop the madness.Aiden suddenly landed a hard punch, knocking Tristan to the ground, blood trickling from his lips. Aiden wasted no time, grabbing Tristan’s shirt, his fist clenched tightly."If you ever drag my dad into this agai
