Streets Apart

A feel good, friends to lovers gay romance. I’m Aaron. I’ve got a crush the size of Europe on Joe, who lives across the street. We used to play together as kids. I’m a trainee plumber, following my father and brothers into the construction industry. On Sundays, I transform into a player in the amateur football league. In all, a confident, well-adjusted guy. For a 20-year-old virgin who lives with his parents. Joe’s cute, but I can’t string together a coherent sentence when he’s around. I don’t even know if he’s gay. And what’s more, no one knows I’m gay.
