Between Marcus making lunch for Cog, Cog walking Marcus home, and accidental paper-eating incidents, they start to see one another in a new light. Marcus is a wholesome sweetheart and Cog is easily overwhelmed, so who knows how long it will take for either of them to confess their crush. But as long as Marcus and Cog get to spend time together, they don't mind taking their time."

Hey, Mary!
by Andrew Wheeler
"Mark is a good Catholic boy. He goes to church, says his prayers, and spends too much time worrying about hell. When Mark realizes he has a crush on another boy in his school, he struggles to reconcile his feelings with his faith as the weight of centuries of shame and judgment--and his fear of his parents' response--presses on his shoulders. Mark seeks advice from his priest, as well as a local drag performer, but also receives unexpected input from key figures in Catholic history and lore, including Joan of Arc, Michelangelo, St. Sebastian, and Savonarola. Ultimately, only Mark can answer the question: Is it possible for him to be both Catholic and gay?"
