(BEING REPUBLISHED BECAUSE I'M DUMB) When Matthew Chen moves to a bustling college town to avoid the gazes of fans and teammates alike, he meets Pierre Arquette, the science whiz and most popular guy in class. Pierre is everything he ever dreamed of, and the perfect distraction from all his worries, but when will Pierre's secrets and Matthew's insecurities get the better of them? Matthew vows to never think about his past again. To never gaze at the heights he once reached. After a devastating injury, he will never play badminton like he did before, at the peak of the world. Hiding from the gazes of teammates and fans alike, he and his family settle into a bustling college town, and he's forced to admit he's not a champion anymore, and he'll never be one ever again. Running from his family for who-knows how long, Pierre is no stranger to abandonment. Neatly whittling away at every tie he had held so dearly, he's not afraid to cut and run, over and over. When though, will he have nowhere to go? This is a LGBTQ+ sports + teen romance, featuring basketball, badminton, a bit of volleyball, some gay dudes, and plenty more! Come along for the ride for Matthew and Pierre's whirlwind adventure! . . . I'm hellbent on writing the fluffiest fluff there ever is to fluff. If you're not a fan of sports or LGBTQ+ relationships, that's fine! I'm still happy you spared this a glance, and if anyone you know might be interested, please ask them to take a look. As a note, this will NOT contain any smut of any kind. Just 100% undiluted romance :D
