    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 conversion 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.

    Summary

    "“Lucas talks about you all the time. He just forgot to mention that the pictures don't really do you justice.”

    Will just laughed, shaking his head, trying to play it cool despite the sudden warmth in his cheeks. “Sure, Mike. I’m sure you tell every person in a five-mile radius whatever they want to hear to keep your guest list full.”

    “You're definitely special,” Mike said without missing a beat, leaning his forearm against the counter next to Will, closing the distance between them. “But if you’re worried about my sample size, feel free to ask around. I don't usually look at anyone the way I'm looking at you right now.”

    Will raised an eyebrow, letting out a soft huff. “Oh, please. I bet you have that exact script memorized for your pledges during orientation.”

    “Ouch. Harsh,” Mike teased, a dimple flashing in his cheek. “I’ll have you know I’m completely improvising. You just happen to be very inspiring.”

    “Is that your way of saying you’re out of practice?” Will shot back, a sharp, playful glint in his eye.

    Mike let out a low chuckle, clearly loving the pushback. “Far from it."

    Summary

    “Do you seriously just let him control you like that all the time? You’re not his fucking dog, dude.”

    Max calls it control.
    Will calls it trust.

    Because it’s not just that Mike takes care of him.
    It’s that Will starts to lean into it, he craves it.

    And when he realizes Mike needs it just as much, needs to be praised, to be relied on, to be everything… Will decides to stop resisting.
    After all, if Mike wants to take care of him…
    who is Will to say no?

    OR

    After a year of living together, Mike and Will somehow stumble into a full-blown dom/sub dynamic before they so much as kiss or admit they’re in love.
