Phil thought he finally had everything he ever wanted out of life... He had found the perfect partner, the perfect house has the perfect job and his car was everything he had wanted it to be... Until it fell apart in the worst way possible... Being in a committed relationship the last thing he expected to do was to show up to date night to find his submissive plastered against someone else, his lips where they never should have wandered... 

Devastated, Phil lets go of the submissive he had fallen so easily in love with despite having just bought a house together... A house that felt so alone after asking Adam to leave that he had almost considered selling it just to not have to deal with the reminder of the life that he had thought they were about to start together... 

Instead of selling, Phil decides that keeping the house is less stressful, though he knows it'll never feel like home living there by himself when it had been meant to be shared... So a roommate is the way to go... And his friends are able to offer the perfect solution. 

His name is Nico, and he's perfect... He cooks, he cleans, he's never loud or rowdy... He doesn't invite a bunch of people over... 

And that, exactly, is the problem.
