A plan to distract their friend group collapses into late-night movie marathons, reluctant conversations, and a gradual blur between annoyance and attraction. As hurt runs deep and trust feels risky, their messy friendship dynamics force both characters to confront real feelings. The story delivers emotionally vulnerable, tender hurt-comfort tension alongside spicy-but-sweet queer rom-com energy, with mature content and mentions of emotional and physical abuse.","T˟Ɏ Bŭȣ IȣɎŭ ƻԃ M. A͵ȣɎХщΕ͵  \nThe Bad Idea is a slow burn MM novella full of sharp banter, aching vulnerability, and the kind of tension that turns enemies into something dangerously close to love.  \nEli and Aubrey can’t stand each other. Eli’s got a chip on his shoulder and too much on his mind. Aubrey is bold, dramatic, and always in his space. But when a plan to distract their friend group turns into a series of late-night movie marathons and reluctant conversations, the lines between annoyance and attraction start to blur.  \nIn this short LGBTQ romance packed with heart and heat, two boys who swore they’d never get along find themselves facing something neither of them expected: real feelings. But when hurt runs deep and trust feels risky, is love the worst idea of all…or the best one they’ve ever had?  \nPerfect for fans of:  \n enemies to lovers gay romance  \n short MM romance novellas  \n hurt comfort queer love stories  \n slow burn LGBTQ romance  \n messy friendship dynamics  \n spicy but sweet gay rom-coms  \nAll of my books can be enjoyed as standalones, but they’re even more fun when read together.

Author's Note  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nPХΕ̹ΕʷҦɎ  \nI hated Elijah Cruz.  \nWe never got along, not even a little, but the thing that really ruined it between us happened two years ago, on my twenty-fifth birthday, at my grandpa's house. I was still fucking pissed about it.  \nNot that he ever liked me to begin with. Or my best friend, Todd. Eli hated us both from day one.  \nPlain and simple, Elijah Cruz was a selfish asshole who thought the world revolved around him. I loved reminding him that it fucking didn't.  \nHonestly, I never understood why he was part of our friend group. Why he got invited to the campouts, added to the group chat, or kept around for ten years. Ten years. And somehow, Gary hadn't kicked him out yet, even after the way he treated me and Todd.  \nAll Eli ever did was try to get into everyone's pants. Mostly Wayne's. Now that I think about it, Eli only ended up in the group because he worked on Wayne's car for three months, pro bono. Guess he thought he'd get paid  \nin other ways. That obviously never happened. Wayne wasn't into him. But Eli tried. And tried. Hilariously.  \nThe thing was, Wayne only ever hooked up with Todd.  \nSo maybe that's why Eli was glued to Wayne for a while, back when this all started.
