College freshmen Kai Crossdale and his best friend Spencer Pierce are like oil and water. Spencer is relaxed, funny, and impulsive, while Kai is organized, anxious, and hiding deep trauma he hasn't yet come to terms with. Despite knowing each other since kindergarten, becoming Spencer's roommate changes Kai's life... in more ways than he expects.
Kai and Spencer are characters from a series called Scientists I have yet to publish. This is a parallel universe story of that, as is Closer Than We Think by @januaryL_8.

BOOK 2 Wyatt has spent most of his life holding everything together-his younger sister, his home, his own fragile emotions. Life taught him early that people can leave, and that sometimes the safest place is the one you create yourself.

When a school project pairs them together, old grudges and first impressions collide, forcing Wyatt to navigate messy emotions, sudden laughter, and unexpected connection. Liam doesn't see the careful structure behind Wyatt's calm, and Wyatt doesn't see the soft, unguarded parts Liam keeps hidden. As they spend more time together, boundaries blur, walls crumble, and both boys discover the uncomfortable, thrilling truth: maybe people aren't meant to be predictable-and maybe love doesn't come in neat lines.
