The only thing Sora wants is to be left alone to do his art. When he moves into a house with three other people, he knows he’ll have to make some adjustments, but he didn’t count on one of his roommates being a neat-freak with no regard for personal boundaries. If there’s one thing Sora can’t stand, it’s other people telling him how to live his life.<br><br>Marc is excited to move in with new people. After his last break-up, he’s keen on being independent and focusing on his own hobbies. His new house has a garage, so he’ll finally get to work on his car! But Marc’s enthusiasm falls apart when he realizes his disorganized artist roommate, Sora, intends to work on his projects in the garage, too.<br><br>The two men could not be more opposite ... or more similar. They each do their best to ignore the other, but the longer they spend together, the harder it becomes. It’s only a matter of time before sparks start to fly -- but their differences may be too much to overcome. Can two fiercely independent men learn to let another into their space, and into their hearts?

“Excuse me,” Marc said, stepping away from his conversation partners to jog over to Sora and greet him with a hesitant, “Hey.”


From behind him, Marc heard his brother’s voice as he approached, saying, “Hey, man, I’m sorry we got off on the wrong foot.”


Ben came up beside him, facing Sora, beer in hand.


“I didn’t mean to insult you,” Ben said, ignoring Marc. “There’s nothing wrong with artists. Or football players. Or you.”


“You’re totally good enough for my brother,” Ben continued, like an absolute idiot.


Sora looked from Ben to Marc, then made a ninety-degree turn and started walking through the yard toward the sidewalk. Marc slapped his brother’s arm.


“You absolute fucking idiot,” he hissed. “Just shut up!”


“I’m sorry, I’m not good at this apparently. I don’t know how to talk to gay guys I guess.”
