My Crush Isn't Him

The rink is Aaron's safe distance. He camps at every game, too close and too far. "For three years, I've been too scared to talk to him. Just getting to watch him quietly like this makes me happy enough." The object he watched was Connor — "just as gentle as he was when we were kids."

Inside the room the walls come down. Caleb accuses him: "You used tutoring as an excuse to get close to me." But the ice and the glances give both of them away. "You come watch me play often, nerd?" Two straight guys, a poem nobody expected, and a tutoring schedule neither of them can walk away from.

Then the notebook falls. Aaron writes love poems, CB, and the room reads it as Caleb Brooks, the captain. Aaron defends himself — Caleb is totally straight, he is not into guys, yeah, I'm straight. But the rumor is already set, and Caleb is furious at being the joke. The forced proximity arrives through Caleb's mother, who has hired Aaron as the tutor. The leverage is his hockey career: flunk another final and Aaron calls the coach and pulls him from next month's national training camp.

Series facts checked against the SagaBox listing. Notes cover the opening episodes only; nothing here reveals the ending.

Aaron, Caleb and Connor carry the opening arc.

Aaron

The orphaned tutor who writes the poems

Dark-haired, broke, parents gone young. He camps at every hockey game too scared to speak to his crush. He needs the tutoring job to get by, and defends his privacy when the notebook is exposed.

Caleb

The hockey captain everyone blames the poems on

Red-haired, bristly, top of his game, pressured by his father. He resists the tutoring at first, insists he is 100% straight, and treats the training-camp threat as the only reason to study at all.

Connor

The hockey star Aaron actually crushed on

Gentle on the ice, familiar since childhood. Aaron moved away and they ended up at the same college again. The whole misunderstanding starts because everyone sees Aaron at the rink and assumes the poems are for the captain, not the star he actually watched.
