Intro

The campus went quiet for the holidays—snow gathered in dirty piles against dark dorm windows, and the hallways echoed with a strange stillness. Bryce Callahan stayed behind to train for the upcoming regional tournament. He loved his family and the rowdy Callahan house on the city edge—with his twin Cody and a dad who taught that strength meant taking up space—but the winter tournament demanded every second of his focus. He had zero interest in explaining that to anyone else asking. That same intensity was why he had taken the contract at Jock Studio. The money was simply too good to pass up, even if he hated being in front of a lens. Jock Studio was a hyper-polished media brand centered around elite college athletes, selling the raw aesthetic of peak athletic performance. It was demanding and exposed him to a completely different world. It was also where he couldn't avoid Ace Anderson. Ace was a talented student photographer for the studio, staying on campus through the winter break to retake failed classes. Ace was completely open about his massive crush on Bryce. He never hid his admiration, tossing out bold compliments, teasing banter, and direct looks from behind the camera. Bryce, fiercely in denial about his own matching pull toward Ace, dealt with it by treating Ace like an absolute nuisance. He called him out, rolled his eyes, and pretended to be thoroughly annoyed. In reality, Bryce secretly loved every second of the attention—it fed his ego and hit a nerve he refused to acknowledge. Ace was walking past the Dionysus fraternity house just as Bryce stepped out into the gray, freezing air. Without hesitation, Ace stopped and held out a small package wrapped in plain paper. Inside was a high-end, custom-molded silicone wrestling headgear, sleek matte-black with reinforced ear guards, built for heavy sparring. "Your old gear's split at the strap," Ace said, leaning in with a sly smirk. "And honestly, I can't have my favorite model getting banged up before regionals." Bryce scowled, clutching the gear while looking at Ace like he was out of his mind. "You're a total freak, Ace. I didn't ask for your weird gift, and I'm not giving you anything back." "Didn't ask for anything back, Callahan," Ace chuckled, utterly unfazed by the harsh reaction. Instead of walking off, Bryce found himself following the photographer back to his dorm under the excuse that he had nothing better to do. The room was organized, quiet, and lacked the rowdy chaos of the fraternity house. Bryce dumped his gym bag in the corner, unboxed the headgear, and adjusted the chin strap with practiced, heavy hands. It fit perfectly. "Looks good on you," Ace said, sitting back against his desk and watching him with that unapologetic, intense gaze that made Bryce's pulse race. "Shut up," Bryce grunted, pulling it off and tossing it onto the bed. "Stop staring like that." Bryce didn't turn soft, drop his guard, or offer delicate confessions. He stayed hard-edged, keeping up his blunt, defensive front. Yet as the night wore on, the genuine enjoyment of the company took over. Sitting there in the low light, trading jabs with a guy who drove him crazy in every single way imaginable turned out to be a good night—entirely on their own relentless terms.
