Then Aiden Hale-the quiet, too-perfect, too-untouchable boy from school-asks him to join his group.
Everyone knows Aiden. Everyone admires him from afar. But Aiden has never looked at anyone the way he looks at Eli.
At first, Eli tries to explain it away. Maybe Aiden is just being polite. Maybe he's helping because Eli looks lost. Maybe he's kind to everyone.
But kindness doesn't feel like this. Not when every time Eli stumbles, Aiden is already there. Not when Aiden watches him like the sunlight hits only him. Not when his voice softens in ways it never does with anyone else.
And not when the ocean begins to glow the moment Eli touches it.
The field trip unravels into something stranger than any school itinerary. Shadows slip through the trees at night. The wind whispers Eli's name with a voice that isn't human. Aiden keeps stepping closer, then forcing himself to step back-as though something inside him burns at the wrong distance.
The four boys Eli is grouped with-Aiden, Rowan, Blake, Micah-carry secrets connected to an ancient rift beneath the California coastline. A rift that once devoured a "Light-Bearer" in the past. A rift that awakens only for one thing:
a new Summoner.
And Eli might be the next.
When a shadowed entity mirrors his shape and tries to lure him away, Eli learns the truth: Aiden isn't just protecting him out of kindness. His light reacts to Eli. His heartbeat answers Eli's presence. The bond between them shouldn't exist-and yet it grows stronger every time they touch.
But bonds have rules. And breaking them can tear open the rift.
As the coastline trembles and ancient sigils ignite beneath their feet, Eli and Aiden are forced to face what's been growing between them-something tender, impossible, and dangerously magical. The closer they become, the more the world around them shifts. Storms build. Shadows listen. The sea itself rises to defend or devour.
When a mistake made with good intentions leaves Eli at the mercy of the Echo-a creature made of hunger, loneliness, and stolen reflections-Aiden's light erupts in a way that can save him... or destroy them both.
Because love isn't harmless for a Light-Bearer. And for a Summoner, love might be the spark that opens the rift.
"Love You, Little One" is a young adult M/M romantasy about soft boys, dangerous magic, ocean-born secrets, and a bond that deepens with every heartbeat. A story threaded with California sunlight, slow-burn tension, glowing fingertips, and the kind of love that asks:
Friends don't... do this. Right?
Perfect for readers of magical coming-of-age romances, students browsing the YA fantasy shelves, and anyone who likes their slow burn with shimmering light, lingering touches, and shadows that whisper the truth before the characters dare to say it aloud.
