Elliot Morgan was not always the responsible one.
At twenty-one, he is a senior Education student at Westbridge University and the strict-but-fair Resident Assistant people rely on when dorm life goes sideways. A few years earlier, he was better known as a competitive rugby player, fraternity regular, and the guy who could turn a post-match drink into an entire lost weekend.
Something eventually had to change. Elliot stepped away from competitive rugby, broke the drinking-and-partying cycle that had started running his life, and rebuilt himself around university, responsibility, and the future he actually wanted. Now finishing the degree he chose to prioritize after leaving competitive rugby, he hopes to become a teacher; his old teammates still tease the responsible man he became—and are quietly proud of him.
Broad, ginger, dryly funny, naturally hot-headed, and more caring than he likes to advertise, Elliot still enjoys sports pubs, old friends, and the occasional night off. Romance sits low on his priorities, and he has always called himself straight despite a few voluntary fraternity-era experiments he never treated as anything serious.
Then one Friday night, an adult male stranger flirts with him at the pub.
Elliot flirts back.
By the time either man learns there are rules between them, they have already crossed the first line as equals.
