This is a college MM double bi-awakening book. Finn and Leo are online gaming buddies, who get along and play often. One day Finn mentions a story to Leo and then discovers who Leo is. These online buddies become friends who support one another. Leo is an extremely shy, introverted person who has a hard time opening up and communicating with others so Finn dares him often to push Leo out of his shell. Leo is able to meet these dares and steps out of his comfort zone. But, suddenly Leo dares Finn to teach him how to kiss. These instructions involve long kissing moments where they are just “practicing” until the kissing leads to touching. This is a very sweet, non angsty story of two friends who discover their friendship is actually masking the love and affection they feel for each other.
