Summary
The year is 1999. Ian Gallagher is 17 and co-captain of the Lincoln Grove High School cheer squad alongside his best friend Mandy Milkovich. Still deep in the closet, Ian and Mandy have an arrangement: to the outside world, they’re madly in love, two crazy kids from broken homes. Ian keeps the pervs away from Mandy, and Mandy keeps the homophobic meatheads away from Ian. When Mandy’s older brother Mickey is released from jail after serving a year for possession, they re-form their family band “Spilled Milk” with their older brothers Iggy and Colin. Ian starts tagging along after cheer practice to watch Mandy and her brothers rehearse, and quickly finds himself falling for the blue-eyed, tattooed, perpetually grumpy guitarist. Is his crush as unrequited as it seems, or could the youngest Milkovich brother be hiding a secret beneath his hardened rock-and-roll jailbird facade?

Summary
Ian’s new boss at TigerZone trampoline park sucks. The guy is rude and cocky. Also hot, but so what? Ian would rather focus on the anonymous guy he’s been texting with at night.
Mickey is amused by the wrong number that keeps messaging him. The dude’s nice enough, but he’s barely real. Unlike that annoying employee who’s captured his attention.
A workplace rivalry becomes a love quadrangle. With laser tag.

Summary
Fresh off a prison sentence, Ian Gallagher is lost, wandering aimlessly through a life that doesn’t feel like his anymore. So when Lip offers him a fresh start halfway across the country, he takes it. He’s not sure what he expected from the small, Northern California town of Charming, but it certainly didn’t involve a closeted, dark-haired, blue-eyed member of the local motorcycle gang turning his life upside down. His head tells him to get the hell out of dodge, but there’s just something about him Ian can’t let go. And maybe he’ll fly too close to the sun and get burned. But it’ll be a beautiful fucking fire.

An unexpected inheritance allows Ian to purchase a building in the heart of Chicago’s Wicker Park. He plans on turning the ground floor into a music lounge, but he’s not expecting his upstairs tenant to be Mickey; an irritable (and intriguing) tattoo artist struggling to get his business up and running.
As they navigate through the frustrations of sharing a building, Mickey’s relentless ex begins hanging around in an attempt to get him back—until Ian shakes things up by playing the fake boyfriend card. They may not be actors, but they are exceptionally convincing.
