    Summary

    Our boys meet at university, when both of them have had a little more time to come to grips with their identities. But have also picked up new habits and complexes.

    Eventually explicit. And by 'eventually' I mean almost immediately.

    Summary

    Charlie focused on the man Michael was talking to, immediately drawing in a sharp breath. Tori looked up in surprise, but Charlie couldn’t pull his eyes from Michael’s conversation partner.

    He was tall, almost the same height as Michael, but much broader with strong shoulders and arms that strained at the fabric that encased them. His hair was somewhere between blonde and red, artfully flopping on his head. And he had a special smile, the kind of smile that made Charlie wonder if every other smile in the world has just been trying to recreate this softness and beauty. This man was lovely; no other word felt right.

    Or, Charlie’s life falls apart so he escapes to a small town up north. And he may just find a better life up there than the one he had in the big city.

    Summary

    When Charlie Spring is eleven-years-old he watches his neighbour and best friend drive away as his family moves to Scotland, never to be seen again. Until, that is, Charlie is twenty-seven and Nick Nelson answers an advert for a new flatmate…

    or, as the tweet that inspired this said;

    Childhood friends to estranged acquaintances to roommates to friends to lovers.

     

    A story of second chances and fate, if you believe in that sort of thing.

    Summary

    “I’m just enjoying watching you try to figure me out,” I say with a sip of my mudslide through the thin straw in the corner of my mouth. His gaze dips and dips again before flicking back up.

    “Yeah? Okay.” He swallows and leans in a little closer. “Why am I attracted to you?”
