When Nick Nelson transfers schools, he expects new classes, new people, maybe a fresh start. He does not expect Charlie Spring. Charlie is quiet, strange, and keeps his distance like he's afraid of something. He never eats lunch. He never gets cold. And sometimes, when Nick is close, Charlie looks like he's fighting something inside himself. Charlie has survived centuries by following rules: don't get attached, don't lose control, and never fall in love with a human. Nick doesn't know the rules. Nick doesn't know what Charlie is. But he knows how Charlie makes him feel - safe, seen, chosen. Some love stories begin with a kiss. This one begins with a heartbeat that shouldn't exist... and ends with a choice that changes everything.

Some names are easy. Some names are chosen. Some names are never meant to be spoken until everything is ready to change. Rowan Hale believes that language is intimacy - that the words you use can keep someone close or push them quietly away. Lucas Whitaker doesn't think much about names at all, until he realises there are some he's afraid to say, and one boy he's terrified of losing. Set over the slow shift from summer into autumn, *What We Called Each Other* is a soft, slow-burn boys' love story about proximity, silence, and the weight carried by the things left unsaid. Through borrowed clothes, shared nights, and the careful shelter of nicknames, Rowan and Lucas learn how closeness can exist long before it's named - and how one word, spoken at the wrong moment, can change everything. This is a story about almosts and accidents. About learning when language becomes truth. And about how sometimes, love begins not with what you say - but with what you dare to call each other when it finally matters.
