With his parents out of the country on winter holiday, Shiv invites biology lab-mate Devon to their house off-campus for a final exam cram. Of course, dinner and a study session aren't all he has in mind. Good thing he and Devon are on the same wavelength. In fact, the seduction seems almost too easy.

When the ultra-Socratic Devon invites Shiv to spend Christmas with his family back on the farm, will Shiv finally realize there's more to a relationship than just the physical aspect?

A gay holiday romance short story.
