The Boy Who Came In From the Cold by B.G. Thomas
4.0
When Todd gets kicked out of his apartment in the middle of a blizzard, Gabe runs into him in the lobby of his apartment building, where he's taking shelter. At first, Gabe thinks that Todd's a hustler, and tries to buy him out of kindness (as odd as that sounds), but when Gabe's apartment manager almost kicks him out again, Todd claims to be Gabe's boyfriend, and so begins their relationship.
Once Gabe relieves Todd of the idea that he's going to have to pay for this hospitality with sex, the two men get along surprisingly well. Gabe, the big, muscled, and openly gay man, and Todd, the young, small-town guy so deep in denial he can't see his way out.
One night on Gabe's couch extends indefinitely, and Todd starts coming to terms with feelings he's been hiding for a while and his step-father's vicious verbal abuse toward "faggots". It's a nice, slow build-up of UST and feelings. Angsty, and sweet, and dreams coming true.
