Kiss Against The Wall - a gay coming of age story
7 years ago
General
I'm publishing this story over on Archive Of Our Own. It's not furry and FA's rules about human teenagers and sex are...fuzzy enough that I'm not sure if it belongs here. (It contains no underage "sex" as such, but is a coming of age story and has things such as a teenager masturbating, etc.)
Kiss Against The Wall
Matthias Emerson gave in to temptation—once—and kissed the then-thirteen-year-old Ethan Flagg. He feels immensely guilty about it, a burden of guilt added atop the heavy load that comes from being a gay man born and raised in a conservative town and an even more conservative church.
For Ethan, though, the kiss was a revelation; he wasn't bored with girls because he was still a child, he was bored with girls because he liked guys. Aided by his bisexual classmate Rob—and by the fascinating things he reads on the internet—Ethan sets out to grow up, and to unlearn the lessons his own conservative parents have taught him. And most of all, to see if he can find the romance he so deeply desires.
When an anonymous admirer reaches out to Matt over the internet, he has no idea it's the boy he sinfully kissed. But with Ethan as the pursuer—and increasingly the one taking charge—things don't turn out how either of them expected.
It seems like the obstacles before them are insurmountable, but it just may be possible for the unlikely pair to deal with Matt's guilt, and with the fact that they will need to wait years until Ethan reaches adulthood.
I'll be uploading one chapter a week over on AO3, or you can just read it in full right now on Patreon.
