Tyson never meant to end up in the wrong bed. The plan was simple — one body, one secret, one night. But the man who kissed him that evening wasn’t the one he’d been sneaking around with. Same face. Same cologne. Same tattoo under the collarbone. But the hands were softer, the kiss slower, and the grip less familiar. That’s when Tyson realized the truth: this wasn’t Chris. It was his twin, Max.
What should’ve been a mistake stopped being one the second the clothes hit the floor.
But before he could make sense of it, the front door opened. And this time, it really was Chris.
He didn’t yell. He didn’t flinch. He looked at Tyson — shirtless and breathless — then looked at his brother, already dressed and unapologetic. What followed wasn’t a fight. It was something far more dangerous. Curiosity. Possession. Agreement.
In the room that night, Tyson became something else: a shared secret neither brother seemed ready to give up.
This episode includes both parts of the story — from the mistaken hookup to the moment both twins decide they want to see exactly what he can handle.

In a quiet Midwestern neighborhood, the morning moves slow. Rico, a sanitation worker with copper-tipped locs and a confidence that sits easy on him, rolls up for another pickup. But this stop isn’t routine. At the curb stands a man in his fifties — robe half-tied, slides on, chain catching light against brown skin.
One man working. One man watching. Between them: a garbage bin, summer heat, and a silence thick enough to hold a secret.

Halloween isn’t just about costumes and chaos — sometimes it’s about connection.
Four Gay Mini Stories for Halloween Night brings together four mini scenes about Black men finding warmth, humor, and desire in the middle of the season’s madness.
Each story stands on its own, but together they paint a full picture of what it means to want, to try, and to feel — even when the world outside is a little wild.
Story One — The Mask Stays On
A couple looking to reignite their spark turns Halloween into a private game of trust and curiosity — one rule, no breaks, and a reminder that love can still surprise you.
Story Two — Deliver Me, Daddy (Order #404)
One man stays home to avoid the Halloween chaos, only to find connection at his front door. A food delivery becomes something more — funny, flirty, and unexpectedly warm.
Story Three — Midnight Costume Party
A house full of music, lights, and masks. Two strangers lock eyes across the crowd, and what starts as a party turns into a moment neither expected.
Story Four — The Morning After
When the city quiets down, two men wake to the stillness left behind. Morning light, shared coffee, and the kind of silence that says everything.
Together, these stories explore desire, humor, and tenderness — four windows into the lives of men who choose to show up, even when the masks come off.

Bryce came back to renovate his father’s house. He didn’t expect Miles — the man with steady hands, silent confidence, and history too close to forget — to be part of the job. What begins as silent labor becomes a test of control, regret, and unresolved heat. In a house filled with memory and sweat, two men work around each other until the silence breaks, the storm hits, and the space between them finally gives in. This isn’t just a renovation — it’s a reckoning.

Previously, the neighbor crossed a line with the man next door — a man with a wife, a camera, and a secret side nobody was supposed to see. That one late-night hookup turned into a quiet addiction neither of them could stop. Now, nine months later, Claire’s pregnant, the neighbor’s casually dating, and the secret is still very much alive. When Claire reads a string of messages and immediately goes into labor, things unravel fast. While she’s in the hospital, her husband comes home for a few things — and ends up giving in one more time. This chapter picks up where the confetti settled… and shows just how far they’re willing to go before it all explodes.
After a late-night stop at the dispensary on a rainy Thursday, two strangers leave with more than just pre-rolls.
A spark turns into smoke — and smoke turns into something heavier. Back at Roman’s place, the blunt stays lit, the clothes come off, and what starts as casual unfolds into a slow, deliberate test of restraint. In the haze of weed, timing, and tension, they stop pretending it’s just a chill night.
This episode is grown, intimate, and explicit.

Two Black gay men go on a horseback riding date at a winery, thinking it’s just a cute day out the city. But when the ride slows and the wine starts flowing, what begins as chemistry turns into connection — and then something deeper. One man is ready for love. The other still isn’t sure how to hold it.
Over three parts, Stories Between Us follows their journey through the soft beginning, the hard pause, and the year that almost erased everything — until a quiet DM brings them face-to-face again.
This is a story about timing, trust, and the kind of Black queer love that doesn’t always come easy — but still shows up when it matters most.

He wasn’t supposed to hear it — the soft voice, the easy laugh, the kind of tenderness that used to live in his own home. One voicemail becomes a confession neither man ever planned to make. Now, love sounds different — quieter, lonelier, and too familiar to ignore. Some truths don’t break you. They just remind you what’s already gone.

The ship was quiet, the night wide open. Most guests had gone to bed hours ago. Two men found themselves alone on the upper deck, the ocean moving slowly beneath them. One leaned against the railing, shirt open to the salt air. The other stepped close — not to speak, not to ask — just to be there.
What started as silence became something else: breath against skin, steady warmth pressed between them, the kind of closeness that doesn’t need words. For a few minutes, the world shrank to the sound of waves and the rhythm of two hearts trying to remember what softness feels like.
He Held Me By The Ocean is a Stories Between Us short about stillness, touch, and the quiet ways Black men let themselves be seen when the world isn’t looking.

Early morning, the studio is still waking up — mirrors fogged, blinds half-open, breath louder than music. Two men show up to a pilates class neither belongs in, the only ones who don’t move like they’ve done this before. What starts as clumsy and quiet turns into something else — bodies learning rhythm, glances meeting in reflection, balance slipping into touch. The air grows heavy with control, resistance, and what happens when focus turns into something harder to hold.

After the last school bell, the building goes silent.
Kyle, a high-school counselor, stays behind — surrounded by thank-you notes, wilted plants, and the kind of gifts only students leave for someone who listened.
Each object reminds him why he shows up, and what it costs to keep showing up.
As thunder rolls and rain starts against the glass, he remembers the teenager he once was — scared, unseen, wishing for a teacher who might understand.
Now he’s become that person, holding space for every kid who needs a place to exhale.
The Quiet Hallway is a love letter to the teachers who stay late, to the adults who carry everyone else’s storms, and to the quiet resilience of Black queer care.
It’s about the counselor who becomes a refuge for every queer kid in the building — the one who listens, protects, and reminds them they’re safe — even on the days when that weight feels too heavy to hold alone.

A haunted house date was supposed to end with a proposal — ring in pocket, lanterns glowing, forever waiting just outside.
But when the lights cut out mid-scream, forever slipped away too.
In the chaos, one man vanishes and the other is left with nothing but the box in his hand and the question that will haunt every Halloween after: what really happened in the dark?

His novel made him famous. A bestseller filled with sex, secrets, and heartbreak that felt too real to be fiction. Because it wasn’t.
City after city, fans lined up with questions: Who was the muse? Who inspired the story? What no one knew was that the affair never ended. He was still living it — hotel rooms, late-night messages, bodies tangled in silence.

A downtown hotel. A night that should’ve ended hours ago. Check-out has passed, housekeeping has knocked, and his flight is long gone — but leaving isn’t the scariest part.
In the glow of a muted TV, with October shadows pressed against the window, two men wrestle with want that feels heavier than consequence. Late Checkout is a Black queer story of desire, delay, and the haunting truth that sometimes the real ghost is the one you can’t let go of.
In this episode of Stories Between Us, a man becomes the reluctant muse for an artist who swore he didn’t paint men. Inside a stifling studio, sweat and silence blur into something heavier. Each stroke of the brush pulls them deeper into tension neither of them can deny. When the painting is finally revealed, it isn’t just a portrait — it’s a confession of want.

It started with laughter across a backyard fence. Two men, both in relationships, both restless in ways they couldn’t admit. A shared beer turned into lingering glances, touches disguised as accidents, and late-night confessions whispered into the summer dark. The fence that divided their yards became the only barrier between loyalty and betrayal — and the only thing holding back what they wanted most.
Desire Across the Fence is a story of temptation that grows too close to home, of neighbors who risk everything for desire they can’t ignore, and the consequences of crossing lines that were never meant to be touched.
