It's not that he's a bit of a nerd or likes to cosplay. It's not his taste in books. Techno-thrillers are cool, right? It's not that he's a gamer, or even how obsessed he is with movie and book quotes. No. His big secret, the one that keeps Noah up at night, is that he's gay.
When that tightly sealed-away part of him finally comes to a boil and he can't keep his secret any longer, Noah takes a chance and spills it to everyone. All he wants is to be free of its burden, to live his life as his true self. What he doesn't expect is an anonymous message from a boy claiming to be from his school, saying they like him. Someone who signs their emails as Altair and, like Noah had been, isn't ready to come out.
After weeks of exchanging emails, Noah and his anonymous crush plan their first date. It's nothing fancy, but when Noah sees the boy behind the emails, it doesn't matter. He can't believe his eyes. It seems like nothing in the world could take away his smile after that evening, but months later, a single phone call proves otherwise...

Easton Belle is living his college dream: living with his best friend, underage drinking, working part-time at a local pet kennel, and running a successful social media campaign to keep a hardline theist out of Congress. However, that dream never included his horrid choice in men causing an unhealthy need to be wanted and his multiple sclerosis with its unpredictable symptoms. He also never expected to accidentally end up at a frat party that leads to a crazy drunk call and maybe the best days of his life. As long as this guy doesn't find out about his illness, maybe it'll be different this time.
Paul Acre doesn't know what his dream is. All he's ever really wanted was to get as far away from Kansas City as possible. So he did. But running away from the demons of his past doesn't stop them from catching up to him when his new roommate, Huxley, and the annoying AF man-child who smells like spicy citrus challenge his entire perception on life. Then he gets a random call at 2 am from a number he doesn't know, and a drunk voice he recognizes demands a knight in shining armor come to his rescue. But can he trust his thoughts and feelings? After all, trust is a weakness that's hurt him far too many times.
