Summary
It’s the Summer Olympics of 2024 and American synchronized diver Steve Harrington and his partner, Jonathan Byers, are dead set on winning gold.
That is, until Jonathan fails a drug test.
That is, until Steve is paired with an alternate.
This is, until Steve Harrington meets Eddie Munson.

Booted because of bureaucratic bullshit, and now the last two decades of my life could go up in smoke because I’ve been stuck with second best.” Again his dark eyes fall down Eddie’s frame and back up, sneering.
Eddie can hear Steve’s breaths, even over the pounding music. See the rise and fall of his chest despite their close proximity and the flaring of his nostrils like it’s taken everything out of him to say these words.
“Got it?”
