Oliver Pierce and Asher Williams have known each other for years as their dads work together. Secretly, both young men have been crushing on each other yet, they each believe they don't stand a chance with the other and grow apart over the years. 

But then a chance does present itself. Asher is being transferred from a private school to Oliver's high school. After the school principal finds out the two of them have a history, he asks Oliver to be the one to show Asher around the school, even putting their schedules together so that they have the same classes.  

As the two of them rekindle a friendship that they thought they'd lost, it soon becomes obvious that their feelings for one another have never died. The more time they spend together, the stronger their feelings become. They both secretly want the friendship to morph into something more, something that they have only ever dreamed of ...

But the outside world is waiting for them .... Ready to keep them apart. Ready to throw obstacles at them. 

And ready to judge.

Flowers for Football

47 parts Complete Mature

Asher King's life has revolved around putting up an involuntary mask to hide his true self. With successful parents boasting about his 'pretend' success, Asher feels as though the life he is living was never his to begin with, and a home of happiness is far out of reach. While the luxurious life is envied by most, Asher is only followed by social anxiety and suffocation in a life he doesn't want. The only place where he feels like he can genuinely escape is the little flower shop down the street, where he doesn't expect to find the school's star football player. Leo Gaines is Greenville's golden boy who is destined for success in the NFL. One would think that Leo would do anything to keep a squeaky clean reputation, but Leo would do anything to live a life for himself. Everyone seems to love the confidence he oozes but the subtle respect he always values. However, one thing doesn't fit the agenda: he is still coming to terms with his bisexuality. After multiple encounters with the mysterious boy from the flower shop he works at, Leo soon realizes that he can't help falling for the flower boy. Can Leo find the relationship of his dreams while trying to find a future in a world that exudes masculinity? Will Asher finally find authenticity that will break him free from the marionette puppet he is staged to play? Find out in "Flowers for Football."
