Bound to My Cold Roommate

The Story

College roommates Auden and Stellan share a hidden burden. Auden possesses a one-way sensory link that transmits Stellan's physical sensations directly to him. Hunger, pain, and even the feeling of water all pass through. This connection forces Auden to endure every accidental touch with intense discomfort. He keeps his feelings buried deep because Stellan is known for being homophobic. Auden suppresses his attraction while Stellan maintains a cold exterior. The dynamic shifts when Stellan notices red marks on Auden's collarbone. He demands to know who touched his roommate. Auden breaks down and reveals the truth about their sensory connection. Stellan listens and responds with a shocking admission. He has someone he likes and that person is a guy. The guy is Auden. Stellan was never homophobic. He pretended to be cold because he fell for Auden too early and feared being found out. Their secret crush finally finds its voice.
