Percy Daniels is anxiety in human form -- quiet, guarded, and barely holding his life together one breath at a time. Peer tutoring is his first real job, and he needs it to work. No mistakes. No drama. No getting attached.

Kyle Monroe is Kestrel University's golden wide receiver: confident, loud, and one bad stats grade away from losing everything he's built. He needs a tutor. What he doesn't expect is Percy -- sharp, blunt, and painfully easy to want.

Their dynamic is a mess from the start: Kyle pushes too close without meaning to. Percy pulls back even when he's aching to stay. Every session turns into something charged -- late-night gaming matches, too-honest texts, and the slow, terrifying realization that this isn't just chemistry... it's connection.

But wanting each other is the easy part.

Letting it be real -- out loud, in daylight, with all the fear and history they carry -- that's the hard variable. And when anxiety and pressure spike, one wrong move could send them both drifting.

Standard Deviation is a tender, spicy MM college romance about messy growth, anxious hearts, and choosing love anyway.
