When Clayton volunteers to go on a road trip and help his workplace crush Mike spread his mother’s ashes in Key West, he has one prime objective: get as far as possible from his own domineering mother, Pearl. If the trip means a lot of time in close quarters with Mike, even better.
On the road, Clayton and Mike form a deeper connection, but Clayton can’t stop looking over his shoulder for Pearl. With good reason, because Pearl’s on a journey of her own that won’t end until she drags Clayton back to Castle Forrester.
Mike and Clayton move into their new house and soon discover the strange robots left behind in the attic by the previous owner...
AU. 4 times Clayton searches for companionship and 1 time he finds it.
