Summary
"I can’t move in with you Mike. I don’t—” His voice breaks. Will turns away unable to look at him for what he’s about to say next.
Will stares up at the stars barely visible through the rain. “I don’t want to,” he whispers, sending a shudder down Mike’s spine.
“You don’t..” Mike swallows hard. “You don’t want to.” He chokes the words out, throat dry. But Will doesn’t react. He just starts walking away, leaving Mike alone in the freezing rain.
Or: Two painfully oblivious idiots are so obviously in love with each other, yet keep knocking their empty heads together like complete fools.
After a fallout that kept them apart for five years, Mike accidentally ends up moving into the same apartment complex as Will. When Will’s roommate suddenly moves out, they are forced to move in together.
Between unresolved feelings, Mike helping Will become the artist behind his book cover, and the chaos of planning a surprise for Nancy and Jonathan's wedding, the line between friendship and something more becomes impossible to ignore.

Summary
Will is a young gay man committed to Lazarus by his father. Traumatized and alone, he's assigned to Cell 44—right next to Cell 45, where Mike lives. Mike is infamous: violent, isolated, feared by patients and staff alike.
Through late night conversations, Will learns fragments of Mike—his sharp wit, his cruelty, his unexpected tenderness. Mike teaches Will to breathe through panic attacks after his traumatic aversion therapy sessions. But Mike also pushes Will away, warning him to stay distant, insisting nothing good comes from getting close to him. A psychological tension between horror and attraction, exploring whether a monster can be capable of tenderness—and whether Will's inability to fear Mike makes him brave, broken, or both.
