Noah Hale has always known who he is.
He's loud, dramatic, unapologetically himself, and somehow still exhausted by the world every single day. Coming out hasn't made his life easier, but he refuses to shrink himself for anyone.
Asher Reeves has never been good at handling things, especially his own feelings...
He's quiet, anxious, and constantly too stuck in his own head to know what's going on around him.
Asher Reeves also happens to be the older brother of Noah's best friend.
Although they've seen each other plenty of times over the years, they never really knew each other.
One party changes everything.
Noah was drunk.
Asher was not.
Noah didn't mean to kiss Asher.
Asher definitely did not mean to kiss him back.
Now Noah remembers nothing.
And Asher remembers every second.
In order to preserve the miniscule friendship they have, Asher chooses to keep everything a secret, keep it in like he always does.
The closer they get, the harder it becomes for Asher to pretend nothing happened.
What happens when the one moment that you're trying to forget is the one thing you can't escape?

below the ice
Ian has always had one goal and one goal only-to get drafted for the National Hockey League. Nothing has ever thrown him off course from this, except for one boy from his past that knows things about him that rarely sees the light anymore. Finn has never liked hockey. The only reason he joined the team was to look at cute guys, start some fights on the ice (because it looked fun), and to obviously, get a cute hockey butt like all the other guys on the team. When Ian gets tasked with training Finn so that they can actually be a decent team and get to nationals this year, their bond grows strangely close. The only problem is, Ian promised himself he'd never fall in love again, and ends up breaking the one rule he set for himself. Finn on the other hand, doesn't have much interest in dating. He likes having fun, flirting with people without any strings. When Finn finds himself slipping into feelings for Ian, it leaves him questioning everything he thought he knew about himself, dragging Ian down with him in the process. And through all that, they somehow still need to win nationals. ***
