Built with a Dare, broken by the Truth chapter 30
The campus courtyard buzzed with weekend energy ,music thumping faintly from the dorms, laughter spilling from open windows. Barry leaned against the railing, phone in hand, pretending to scroll while his eyes tracked one person across the lawn.Brian.He was sitting under a tree, earphones in, scribbling something in a notebook. His hair fell in loose waves across his forehead, sunlight catching the tips. Every now and then, he’d bite his lip , and Barry would have to look away before his thoughts turned reckless.He’d seen a lot of people fall for him before, easy smiles, flirty texts, shallow promises. But Brian wasn’t like that. Brian didn’t chase, didn’t fluster. He saw straight through Barry’s charm and met it with quiet indifference.That only made Barry want him more.“Still staring?” A familiar voice teased behind him. Carlson.Barry smirked without turning. “You’d stare too, if you were me.”Carlson chuckled. “You’ve been trying for months. Maybe he’s just not into you.”Bar

The bass vibrated through the floor, heavy enough to make the walls hum. The club pulsed with heat, sweat, and laughter , bodies moving, lights flashing, every color bleeding into the next. Barry was in his element.He stood at the bar, leaning casually against the counter, drink in hand. The bartender slid him another glass, and Barry smiled, that practiced, easy grin that had gotten him out of trouble more times than he could count.But tonight, the charm wasn’t for anyone else.His eyes were fixed on one person ,Brian.Brian looked out of place under the neon lights, sitting in a corner booth with a glass of soda, watching the dance floor like it was an entirely different planet. His dark shirt clung to him in all the right ways, sleeves rolled to his elbows, a quiet kind of beauty that didn’t need attention to demand it.Barry couldn’t resist. He set down his drink and crossed the room.“Didn’t think I’d find you here,” he said, sliding into the seat across from him.Brian looked

By Monday morning, Randy was trying,really trying,to push the message out of his mind. Carlson’s reassurance had been steady, his words clear. He’d looked Randy in the eye when he said it: “It was from months ago. You’re the one I want now.”And Randy believed him. Mostly.Still, when he walked across campus, every notification on his phone made his heart skip. Every time someone whispered or glanced in their direction, his thoughts went spiraling back to that photo. To the message that started it all.He couldn’t help wondering who had sent it , and why.Carlson found him between classes, leaning against a pillar near the courtyard. His shirt sleeves were rolled up, the sun catching in his hair, that easy grin back in place.“Skipping lunch without me?” he asked.Randy smiled faintly. “Just lost track of time.”No and I think senior Carlson should focus more on his classes.“Come on,” Carlson said, tossing an arm around his shoulder. “You promised to stop hiding from me.”“I’m not hi

The next day, Randy goes to see Carlson at his place, then drinks alcohol, but wasn't drunk though a little tipsy. Carlson then insisted he spend the night there.Randy woke slowly, the sunlight spilling across the unfamiliar room. For a moment he didn’t remember where he was,the high ceiling, the neat shelves, the faint scent of cologne and laundry soap. Then the steady warmth at his side shifted, an arm draping tighter across his waist, and it all came rushing back.Carlson.He blinked and turned his head slightly. Carlson was still asleep, his face softened, lashes dark against his skin, lips parted the slightest bit. The boy who always seemed so confident, so in control, looked vulnerable now, like he’d finally set his armor down. Something tugged in Randy’s chest.Careful not to wake him, Randy lay still, memorizing every detail,the weight of Carlson’s arm, the rise and fall of his chest, the way his hair fell messily across his forehead. He couldn’t stop the small smile tugging

Randy’s footsteps echoed faintly in the polished hallway of Carlson’s condo building. His palms were damp, his heart hammering so loud he was sure Carlson would hear it the second he opened the door. He’d rehearsed what to say all day, but now, standing here, everything tangled together,fear, hope, doubt, longing.The door swung open. Carlson leaned against the frame, casual in sweatpants and a black T-shirt, but his eyes told another story. They were sharp, searching, as if he’d been waiting for this exact moment.“You came,” Carlson said softly, no teasing this time.“I said I would,” Randy whispered back.Carlson stepped aside. “Come in.”Inside, the condo glowed warmly in the soft light. Everything looked too perfect,leather couches, spotless shelves, a balcony view of the city,but Randy hardly noticed. His attention was fixed on Carlson, who shut the door and leaned against it, watching him like prey he didn’t want to scare off.Randy swallowed, his throat dry. “Carlson… I need t

Randy slumped onto his bed, tossing his bag aside. The weight of the past week pressed down on him like a storm he couldn’t outrun. Carlson’s texts, the jealousy, the kiss,the world felt too loud and too confusing, and Randy needed someone to talk to.He pulled out his phone and tapped a message to Brian, his best friend since childhood.Randy: Can we meet? I need to talk.Brian: You sound serious. Be at the usual spot at twenty.When Randy arrived, Brian was already leaning against the old oak tree behind the campus library, arms crossed, eyes flicking up from his phone. Seeing Randy, he immediately straightened, concern etched across his face.“Everything okay?” Brian asked, jogging over.Randy took a deep breath and sank onto the bench beside him. He hesitated, the words caught in his throat. “I… I don’t know where to start.”“Start at the beginning,” Brian said softly. “You look like you’re carrying the world.”Randy let out a shaky laugh. “It’s… it’s Carlson. I don’t even know if
