Hate(?)

Leo and Silas have spent three years perfecting the art of the professional grudge. As rival graphic designers at a high-stakes agency, their meetings are less about collaboration and more about who can deliver the sharpest verbal jab. Leo, a trans man who takes pride in his meticulous work and quiet confidence, finds Silas’s chaotic energy and constant interruptions impossible to ignore. For Silas, Leo is the uptight perfectionist standing in the way of his creative freedom. They are two immovable objects, locked in a cycle of petty pranks and heated debates that everyone in the office assumes is pure, unadulterated hatred. But when a mandatory team retreat forces them to share a cramped cabin in the middle of nowhere, the distance between loathing and longing begins to shrink. Stripped of office politics and deadlines, the mask of hostility slips, revealing a chemistry that is as undeniable as it is terrifying. This enemies-to-lovers story is a heartfelt exploration of vulnerability, the joy of being truly seen, and the messy, hilarious reality of falling for your greatest rival. It is a vibrant, queer-affirming romance that proves sometimes the person who drives you the craziest is also the only one who truly understands you.
