Till doesn't try to disappear He just hopes people stop looking. Black hoodies in 90-degree weather. He's the kid everyone whispers about but no one really knows. Sensitive. Withdrawn. The kind of guy who walks alone in the rain without an umbrella and seems like he prefers it that way. Then there's Ivan. Star running back, loudmouth, loved by teachers and feared by freshmen. The guy who's always surrounded by people, but never really looks satisfied with any of them. He teases Till like it's a game-cold words. Everyone sees it. In a whirlwind of high school chaos, college pressures, and dangerous secrets, Till and Ivan's lives collide in ways neither could have anticipated. From the frenetic energy of pep rallies and the intensity of the football field to the terrifying darkness of gang attacks. Till and Ivan are tested in every imaginable way. Through it all, their bond strengthens-sometimes tender, sometimes playful, always fiercely protective. Amidst stolen glances, teasing smiles, and heart-stopping moments of danger, love blooms. Till discovers the courage to protect those he cares about, while Ivan learns the weight and value of vulnerability. From whispered confessions in quiet dorm rooms to the roar of cheering crowds, their journey is one of passion, trust, and the unshakable certainty that, no matter the chaos, they are each other's safe haven.

After leaving his abusive boyfriend, Rowan Warner needs a new place to live, and moving back in with his parents would be a last resort. Luckily, Rowan's brother, Adam, and his best friend, Graham Beckett, are in need of a third roommate. The only problem is, Rowan and Adam don't get along and Rowan doesn't know how long they'll last living together with Graham playing peacekeeper. And when Rowan starts catching feelings for Graham, he knows he has to get out of that house as soon as possible.
