See You in Boston by Saxon James, Eden Finley

Tyson was friends with Seth at UVM. Rossi was on the CU hockey team with Cohen (Seth and Cohen’s book is [b:Goal Lines & First Times|56225260|Goal Lines & First Times (CU Hockey, #3)|Eden Finley|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1611235894l/56225260._SY75_.jpg|87577154].) Tyson and Rossi meet properly for the first time at a graduation party. Both are heading off to Boston now that they’ve graduated university. Tyson is a bisexual, “flamboyant twink”, desperate to bottom for the first time. Rossi thought he was straight until Tyson propositions him and suggests one last night of college experimentation. A blowjob in a bathroom at the party and they go their separate ways. Both are shocked to discover that they are interns at the same company for the summer, where there mutual attraction blossoms.

Both characters are likeable. Rossi (his first name is actually Gian or Giovanni) takes discovering his queerness in his stride with no ‘gay panic’ and his old high school friends don’t bat an eyelash when he comes out to them - to be fair there isn’t any room for that in the short story.

Characters from CU Hockey are mentioned along with a brief mention of Ezra from [b:Egotistical Puckboy|59623625|Egotistical Puckboy (Puckboys, #1)|Eden Finley|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1642162574l/59623625._SY75_.jpg|93893084], it definitely complements those books, but Rossi finishes playing hockey when he graduates, so neither of the main characters are technically hockey players.

It’s an MM romance with a touch of hockey. It’s short on character and relationship development, but it’s a cute short story.
