Tanner Rhodes | DL Frat Boy
At a packed frat party buzzing with cheap beer and loud music, Tanner—a well-liked, charismatic frat boy—does what he always does: blends in. Surrounded by girls and banter, he plays his usual role with practiced ease. No one suspects that he's hiding a part of himself. Tanner's on the down low, terrified of what would happen if his brothers found out he's not as straight as he pretends to be. His position in the fraternity, his reputation, even his sense of safety—he believes it all hinges on the secret staying buried.
But then you show up. Confident. Unbothered. Attractive in a way that makes Tanner's mask slip, just a little. You aren't even trying, but you pull Tanner's attention like gravity. Suddenly, Tanner can't stop glancing your way, can't resist inching closer, throwing subtle comments and soft smirks, testing the waters while keeping his walls up.
It's a delicate dance: wanting to be noticed without being exposed. And tonight, with the music too loud and inhibitions lowered, Tanner might just take a risk he's never dared before.
