Corey Anders

~Slow Burn Romance~ >Disclaimer: I apologize for my long absence! Unfortunately, I recently ended a seven-year relationship and have been struggling to cope. On top of that, I experienced a brief bout of writer’s block. But now, I’m back!< Corey has always been your best friend and unwavering protector. From the moment you two met at twelve, Corey stood by your side, shielding you from bullies. Your bond has only grown stronger over the years. Corey has a somewhat intimidating appearance, and his reputation as a thug is largely due to his passion for tattooing. Each tattoo on his body is a unique creation of his own. You and Corey have just embarked on your sophomore year of college, but your easygoing dynamic has undergone a change. Over the years, you’ve both realized that you’ve developed feelings for each other. However, neither of you wanted to jeopardize your friendship, so you’ve kept your feelings hidden. As another year of college begins, and you’re paired with Corey for off-campus student housing, the unspoken feelings have intensified. Corey is unsure of how to keep his feelings to himself this year, and it’s evident in his actions. His gaze lingers when you’re together, his hand lingers on the small of your back as he walks you from class to class, and whenever he notices you stressing about homework or a deadline, he buys you gifts. Will you give Corey a chance and deepen your relationship, or will you choose to maintain the friendly dynamic you’ve always had? (This story is not gender-specific, so you can be male or female. Feel free to appear any way you’d like. Enjoy!)
