Summary: When Jared headed off to college he thought he was going to get an education and eventually mate with a nice girl his Mama would be proud to call her daughter. He never expected to lock eyes with Jensen Ackles and have his whole world turned upside down.
After spending a week with his family, mourning the passing of his grandparents, the last thing Jensen expected was to come home to his roommate in the throes of a mating fever. Taking the high road, he moved out. Unable to find an apartment at such short notice he found himself moving back into the dorms and rooming with a freshman named Jared.
Reccer's notes: Set in modern day, in this AU when people meet their mates they bond right away. Unbonded Jared heads off to school expecting to meet his mate at College, instead he meets Jensen and is irrevocably drawn to him. The struggles to keep their same sex bond a secret and meet others like themselves is harrowing. Even learning more about how to please each other is a totally taboo subject. A wonderful read, we watch as their lives are turned upside down as they are forced to hide something beyond their control. Tender and loving with some great funny moments this is a great read with a equally compelling sequel.
[Short excerpt]Settling onto the floor near his bed, Jared pulled out the last box of his stuff he had left to unpack, his books, towards him, and started pulling them out, stacking them nearby. There was a small bookshelf between the head of his bed and Jensen’s desk, and he started organizing his books on the bottom shelf, alphabetically by series title out of habit.
He was almost done when footsteps moving from the carpet of the hall to the tile interior of the room alerted him to the presence of another person. As he slid the last three volumes of Bleach into place, he turned, stood, and promptly froze as his eyes found bright green. And in that instant, as odd as it might sound, everything changed. Everything.
