Here's Evan Barnes's "The Jock's Secret Obsession." It's the second novella in the Only One Room series, which are all novellas surrounding shared dorm rooms.
["For two years, my grumpy roommate was a wall of muscle and silence.
Darren Stenbeck, the college’s hockey god, barely knew I existed. I was the friendly, talkative and one hundred percent straight nerd who lived on the other side of the room.
Then I found his sketchbook.
The secret he’d been keeping wasn’t just his incredible talent. It was a filthy, detailed fantasy–with me on my knees, at the center of it all.
Now, a leaky ceiling has forced us into a single bed.
He’s spent two years looking at me with those icy eyes, but his art showed me how he really sees me. And the most terrifying part?
That drawing didn’t just expose his secret desires. It awakened my own."]
I love how soft Darren was...and yet he was still the stereotypical grumpy athlete, closed off and a little cold. He was so obsessed with his roommate, drawing pictures, protecting him, over-the-top jealous. It's just a dichotomy, and it might be a little toxic, but it's addicting.
Another couple I could have read even more of. Nothing felt as if it was missing, nothing was too fast. I just wanted more.
