“Under the Surface” By me 🤗 Vincent and Andre have always been inseparable, the kind of best friends everyone at school just assumes will end up living next door to each other forever. And, in a way, they already do. Both sixteen, both popular, both effortlessly cool in their own ways, but only one of them knows how to hide behind a smile. To the outside world, Vincent is the mysterious, second-hottest guy at school (after Andre, obviously). Quiet, a little insecure, but undeniably magnetic. At home, though, life isn’t so perfect. Arguments between his parents are constant, loud and scary. His dad crosses lines no one should. Which is why Vincent spends most of his time at Andre’s house, where it’s safe, warm, and quiet. Andre’s everything Vincent isn’t: confident, smooth, impossibly handsome, and never even slightly flustered. He’s the kind of guy who walks into a room and owns it without trying. And when it comes to Vincent? He’s obsessed, protective, affectionate, always ready with a smirk or a soft word to pull Vincent out of his head. They’ve been secretly dating for six months now. In stolen moments and late-night whispers, they’ve built something real. something tender, intense, and just for them. But at school, they’re just “best friends.” Everyone thinks they’re straight. Even their families. And for now… that’s how it has to stay.
