Old Flame & an Icy Rivalry
Roman and Grayson, childhood best friends turned college hockey rivals. Gray might be cold with good reason, but will his icy resolve prevent him from moving forward? He built it to protect himself from being fooled again but Roman tended to melt him in the best ways. Can an Old Flame be enough to melt an Icy Rivalry? Or will their teammates rather watch the other go up in flames before playing nice? "He groaned under my weight. I shifted, straddling him to catch my breath. My chest heaved, the hoodie and jersey combo restricting my lung's ability to expand. I looked down to find Grayson watching me. His eyes were glazed over, and his hands were laying just above my knees. His fresh forearm tattoos flexing and contrasting against his otherwise pale skin. My face turned warm until a flame lit my cheeks on fire. My jeans had suddenly become warm and too tight around my thighs as we sat there frozen. Gray made the first move, sitting up until our faces nearly brushed. He waited silently, eyes flicking down between our bodies and back up." -Disclaimer for the book- For story and timeline purposes Cornell & Harvard university are not going to be 5 hours apart and instead only an hour drive.

So Where Does that Put Us (boy x boy)
"When something terrible happens to someone, everyone feels sorry for you at first, they take your hand and cry fake tears and say how 'special' you are, how strong you are. But after a while they forget...Then they don't see a person anymore they just see this terrible thing and think you're terrible because of it...It's like a little switch that goes off in people's heads: one minute everyone is your friend and they care oh-so much, then, when things die down, they become terrified of you. You'd be surprised to see what fear can make someone do." Justin Ivanov has never led much of a normal life, but when his sister passes away, his entire world falls apart.

Trying to sort out his own emotions, sexuality, and future out, Ben also has to balance trying to save Justin.
