Summary

Martin is a young apprentice to a candle maker. He's been there four years already, and really hasn't learned candle making at all. Mostly it's just a job to him, and he's unmotivated and bored. The only thing that has caught his attention is Jamie.
The young apprentice to a mage, Jamie is roughly the same age as Martin. He's always wanted to be a mage, and is very focused and driven. But Martin also catches his attention on his trips into the candle shop for his master.
Then Jamie asks Martin to share a bottle of wine after work, which leads to a series of adventures as they get to know each other. Soon they're falling hard for one another while trying to figure out how to make their relationship work, as their families would not accept it.
Soon Jamie's master leaves town for an urgent meeting of the mage's council, leaving Jamie alone, which leads to a night neither young apprentice will ever forget.
