I just love this story, it is one of the best I have read. I really like the angst that goes along with having Brian in another relationship. As long as they find their way back to eachother eventually. d84;💕😉😘

Wow! I just finished Choice/Consequences what a powerful and wonderfully written story! I would never have known english isnt your first language, or that this was the first story you ever wrote.  And while I'm not normally a fan of Brian or Justin with someone else, this was so well written that I couldnt help falling in love with Aidan. Yet you never lost the essence of who Brian & Justin are, you delivered a story that truly showed the depth of the love they shared, even with all that happened in their lives, and the time and distance that separated them!  I cant wait to read more of your work!  Keep writing!

Author's Response:

Hey Candy!

I was so happy to see your review, thank you for giving this story a chance. It is a story very close to my heart, since as you say, it's the first one I ever written and the subject is very important to me. I loved writing Aidan, so I'm thrilled you could connect to his character as well.

Thank you again :) Hugs from France <3

Reviewer: Kaelkitty (Signed) · Date: May 11, 2018 07:52 PM · On: Consequences

This is a wonderful story. It has taken me over 6 hours to read it, not counting the various interruptions of my day in RL. I think that every chapter has made me cry, so it is a very good thing that I have been reading it in the middle of the night.  Alzheimer's is a bastard disease, but you write so powerfully about it that I can't help but be carried along by the characters.

I suspected that might have been Aiden's reasoning for leaving Brian as he did, but your writing is so good that I forgot about it as I got caught up in Brian and Justin's reunion story, so the ending has a major impact.

Please keep on writing - you are really good, and so is your English. You have a couple of idiomatic slip ups eg, "I will take a coffee and white eggs." should be Egg white eg, Poached Egg Whites, Scrambled Egg Whites, or Egg White Omelet etc..  The other thing I noticed a couple of times is the exclamation "Holly Shit!" where you obviously mean "Holy Shit!" These things aren't major but they can throw the reader out of the story briefly which is distracting.

Best of Luck,

Kaelkitty.

 

Author's Response:

Hi Kaelkitty,

It's always such a pleasure to read a review from a new reader on this story. So first of all, thank you for taking the time to comment, it's much appreciated.

I have a special fondness for this story, which is the first I've ever written. My English wasn't so good (still is not if you ask me) but betas are fabulous for that. All typos are mine, of course.

Alzheimer has been a constant in my life for years, and I'm biased when it comes to Aidan in this story. I know a lot of readers has been touched by his fate, which, to me, is the reason why this story stands out from my other works. 

Anyway, thank you for your kind words about my writing, and thank you for choosing to read this story. I hope that if you choose to read more, you will enjoy them, too, even though they're quite different. And know there is a short sequel if you want to complete this tale :)

 This story was truly amazing. Having a grandmother who had Alzheimer’s disease and ultimately succumb to it was heartbreaking for me. To see a different side of the disease was astounding and moving for me. Thank you for this gift. 

 Creating an original character  Who was flawed yet perfect at the same time. Great job with Aiden. 

 I look forward to reading more of your work. You are very talented. 

Author's Response:

Hi Wendy,

Whenever a new reader leave a review on this story, I'm smiling, and doing an inner happy dance. Consequences is the first thing I have ever written in my life (the beginning was kind of bad written, especially in English), and I'm super proud of that fic. I loved Aidan, and Alzheimer is also something I had to deal with for a major part of my life (and I can relate with your Grandma, since mine has it too, years ago.) I'm sorry you had to deal with such a horrible disease.

I never had to deal with someone who had Alzheimer so young, but I know someone who did. His story and my former job inspired me (I was a manager of retirement homes for a few years when I started working). Aidan is still my favorite OC, I think, even though I have created a few others since I finished this story.

If you ever decide to try another one, I have written a long completed story, Entwined, which is quite different, but angsty too. I also have a one shot I'm really proud of, named Goodbye Joanie. I think you will like that one. (shamelessly self promoting myself here, feel free to ignore me)

Anyway, thank you very much for having taken the time to tell me you enjoyed this fic. I'm very happy you did.

Hugs from France

Alois

As someone who has dealt with Alzheimer's in one way or another all her life ( my great grandmother had it, and it was my mother's passion/specialty as a geriatric social worker), I was very moved by how you wove it into this story. I will admit I had a very difficult time starting this story because I knew that Brian would love another man. However, you pulled me in and I must say I'm excited to read some more of your work. Thanks for this beautiful story.

Author's Response:

Alzheimer has also been a constant in my life. Thats' probably why I wrote about it. I'm happy, though, that this story could move you, even if I understand that for all B/J shippers, it's a hard read. I had hate words for it, but I'm very proud and protective of this story, which is my first and my 'baby' if i can say that. And my english was so bad at the beginning! Anyway, thank you very much for having taken the time to tell me how you felt, it means a lot :) I have a WIP in progress (I remember your review on it too, thank you!) and a few other short stories out there, I hope you will like them :)

"I can feel it Brian, it's beginning to invade my mind..." that's when I lost it...

My Gram had Alzheimer's and even though I was only a teenager when it was first diagnosed, we were very close & it was heartbreaking...it's been 32 years since she passed but I can remember her not knowing any of us...and wondering how scary it must have been for her. Sometimes she'd even wake up thinking she was still a little girl in Italy & only speak Italian. I miss her everyday...

Wonderful writing Alois...you should be very proud...

Author's Response:

That letter was hard to write. My grandma had Alzheimer too, and I've been the manager of retirement homes for a few years, so I'm familiar with this awful disease. I'm so sorry to read that your Gram had suffered from Alzheimer :( This is truly so hard to witness, and so hard on the people who don't recognized their loved one...

So, this story is and always will be dear to my heart. Thank you again for sharing all of this with me :)

Reviewer: Gloria (Anonymous) · Date: June 06, 2016 04:54 PM · On: Consequences

Okay so I'm thinking that this guy with Noah has to be Aidan's friend Simon...no?

I'm looking forward to this next chapter and the revelations that need to occur.

I was wondering what piece of Justin's art Brian bought when he went to his first show in Paris and where it is...I would think Justin would have seen it already...I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet or is that still to come?

Author's Response:

You clever girl... you will know very very soon!! I hope you will 'enjoy' the last part and revelations of this story.

Hum... actually, about Justin's painting, I think Brian kept it to himself and didn't display it, so Justin hadn't seen it for now. But Brian will eventually come clean about going to his first solo show in Paris between now and the next chapter, even if the story doesn't come back on that. It hasn't been mentioned because Justin's place in Brian's heart was always clear in my twisted author's mind, so it wouldn't have changed anything between them. They have always known what they meant to each other, even when life kept them apart, or even when they felt in love with other men.

Reviewer: Gloria (Anonymous) · Date: June 05, 2016 04:04 PM · On: Consequences

This chapter was different for me....I felt like Ted watching or in my case, reading about Brian & Aidan dancing together...how they touched...in the position that Justin should have been with Brian...yes painful in a way...I found myself shutting my eyes after reading the paragraph & picturing Justin instead of Aidan...however life is short and we do need to cherish it...

And I do not hate the way you write Brian & Aidan at all...it's sexy!

Author's Response:

I think one of the thing that I heard a lot about this fic is that it was beautiful and painful at the same time. For all B/J shippers, I know it wasn't an easy ride, but I'm grateful for the beautiful comments I had about Aidan. I love his character. 

Glad that you find this chapter sexy! I hope you will enjoy what's to come :)

I am always so wary about reading non B/J stories, but in this instance I am so glad I did! Absolutely beautiful!

Kim did an amazing job as beta and I enjoyed it so much more after she took over (only because I am a grammar freak!) I can only imagine how difficult it is, though, to write in a language that is not native to you. I would never even attempt it, so kudos to you! You are an extremely talented storyteller & I do wish you would complete Entwined, as I am now dying to read another of your amazing stories.

 

Thank you for this amazing & heartwarming adventure!

Author's Response:

I'm really happy that you liked it. And of course, this story wouldn't have been so good without Kim. She had been a wonderful help and support all along. Writing in English was a real challenge, and I perfectly understand why you enjoyed it better after the first chapters. I have troubles to read them myself LOL. It is the first story I have ever written, and writing it in English was completely insane. But I'm so glad I did.

Thank you for the compliment and your feedback, it means a lot :)

Reviewer: charlot_dk_31 (Anonymous) · Date: August 14, 2015 04:05 AM · On: Consequences

thank you Alois, this was beautiful and made me cry. I read it all in one go loosing sleep. I think you became better as the story grew, and the beginning was quite good. you should write more :)   I originally fell for this couple due to the contrast between the darkness and dark eyes of Brian, and the light personality and sunny smile of Justin. The series ended way too soon for me, but this was perfect. keeping up their personalities but also letting them grow even more. Everything worth doing is hard, I think Aiden would agree.. ,) Kudos for keeping up and giving us a beautiful ending.  I read a lot, for fun and as education,  if I include my mother language I would guess soon 2 million pages. I have literally read a library (a small one though, went to a small school) and read still, everyday. Fanfic is relatively new for me, but I am pleased about the quality. this story I will never forget .. I want more :)
Like, what happened with JR and Hunter..? LOVE  

Author's Response:

Your words are amazing for me to read. I'm so thrilled to see that this story can touch new readers. And I definitely shaped myself as an author with this one, as it was my first story, hence the drift on the quality of the chapters. But you warm my heart with your words. I can't tell you how fulfilling it is for me! What is your mother language? I 'm so glad you enjoyed the characters growing and that you think I did them justice with their personalities. So, thank you sincerely for letting me know and leaving a review on it. I've started a new story, but it's an AU and it will not be finished for a long time, so if you're interested , you might want to wait to read it. Anyway, LOVE back :) THANK YOU again

Reviewer: Annie-Eliza (Signed) · Date: July 11, 2015 06:38 PM · On: I remember

Hi, Alois!

You know how affected I got by Aidan's story by the time the big reveal was made. It was so heartbreaking and the fact that Brian was there for him and still loved him was comforting. The fact you show he has found peace is even more comforting. Reading this just makes me feel a little better about how everything turned out. My heart still breaks due to Aidan's demise and due to Brian witnessing Aidan wasting away, but it does relieve me that Aidan was able to hear what Brian was saying to him, even if he couldn't always show it.

Thank you for this wonderful little one-shot! I was pleased to beta it. It took very little work on my behalf too!

Author's Response:

Hi Anne!

I'm really glad you find it comforting :) I kind of like that this last verse of 'Consequences' is from Aidan's voice, too. ;)

And Thank YOU for the help and the words of encouragement! Your support means a lot.

What a lovely story, my friend. And what an honor to have it dedicated to me. Not sure that I deserve it, but I'm very touched that you would think of me. And I'm glad that you left us with a story about Aidan that is both promising and hopeful in its tone.  I'd like to think that we will see our loved ones again one day, and that we somehow go on even after our body ceases to exist.

Thank you for the wonderful surprise. *Hugs*  ~Kim

Author's Response:

Kim,  I wouldn't have written this if not for you, and even if it's not much, it was an evidence to dedicate you these few lines. You have been a great support for me, and  you still are! Now that Aidan rest in peace, I will be able to focus on 'Entwined' again ;) * hugs *

Such a beautiful ending. There's actually one similarity that I have planned for the Intersect sequel which is interesting. I guess great minds think alike! I can't believe I took so long to finish this. I never lost interest, believe me. Like I said, reading long stories can intimidate me. But this is one I will read again. The whole thing is well written but those last few chapters were both a punch to the heart and uplifting at the same time. I am so glad that, despite all the heartache, that Brian is happy. And even more so, I am so SO happy that he and Aidan had each other at the end. Even though Aidan wasn't completely aware, some part of him deep down knew that Brian still loved him, forgave him, and would be there for him. Thank you for taking the time to write such a beautiful story. Don't hesitate to write again, regardless of the couple. Write what you feel passionate about.

Author's Response:

Hi Anne,

As I already told you, thank you for all the comments and for reading these last chapters. The fact that you cried while reading about Aidan is the best compliment I can ever receive :) Eagerly waiting for your next installement of Intersect :)

Sorry to review just now, but I usually read on my cell, and somehow, reviews won´t go from there :(.

 

You had me in tears with the ending of this story. You took us to a hell of a ride through a totally different AU of the Brian/Justin story, but it was well worth reading and I always waited for an update from you. It is hard to let this story go and leaves me thinking about it´s content. So you´ve reached the goal, made us remember this storyline as one of the most unique ones. Thanks for sharing your talent with all of us and provide us with someting entertaining but nonetheless thoughtful storyline. Hope to read more of you in the foreseeable future!

I just knew that had to have been Aiden that came to see Justin. This was a true explanation of what real love is all about on all three of the main characters parts. I hope that you are able to continue writing whether it be about our boys or something else. You have a real gift. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Wow ! I dont know what to say, really...Ive just read both the last chapter and the epilogue together and im at a loss for words. So many emotions !! Weve reached the end and i feel like i have to tell you that i feel a bit (well more than just a bit ) sad cause this story that made me smile and cry, that kept me company for so many months has come to an end.

And what an end! You never disappoint my friend!! Cant help feeling that life was way to unfair on poor Aidan but thats life right ? not fair most of the time.

I wish and hope from the bottom of my heart thar you decide to go on writing as you are such a gifted author. If not, and this is actually my last review for you, i HAVE to thank you again for a story i will save among my favorites to read and re-read from time to time.

I just read the prologue, since I didn't see you had one. Oh Justin, sweetheart...


Anyway, I love it. Of course my heart aches for Justin, but I am happy that is main concern is that Brian is happy, even though it breaks his heart that Brian may have moved on.

Author's Response:

Hi Anne,

I wrote this at a time when I didn't know if I was going to write 'Consequences' or not. It seems I did since then lol.

Anyway, I'm glad you like it :) Thank you for reading

Very beautiful my friend, and I absolutely love how Gus was there to help his Da work through his feelings in such a mature way...now if we could only find out what's happening with Aidan the puzzle will be complete.

Author's Response:

Hi Tamara,

I'm thrilled you like it and I must agree with you, I had such a good time writing the scene between father and son. After all the angst, it's a delight.

Last piece of the puzzle should be revealed soon :)

Thank you so much my friend

Maybe Brian should see the video of Justin as a frog.  I can see him giggling.  He's not the same Brian that Justin left.  He's more open and that is thanks to Aidan.

Author's Response:

Hi !

lol You're right, I'm pretty sure he would have a good laugh.  As for being more open, he sure is, life has mellowed him in a way, even if it didn't spare him either.

Thank you my friend.

Bonjour Alois,

What a great chapter!

Your writing style is amazing. As a diehard B/J fan, must confess that at first, I couldn't decide if I'll read or not this story. You fairly warned that it is most of all about Brian's journey and it will have him emotionaly involved with other man than Justin but that at the end it will be definitely Brian and Justin together.

Still, the coward in me wasn't ready to read in its entirety the B/OC part, instead  I followed the story through reviewers comments...until chapter 29 came. Such an intense moment, sad yet beautiful. Since then, I was hooked.

Now, I can't wait for the next chapter!

Thank you for sharing.

Fran

Bonjour Fran,

Oh, thank you so much for reading and taking the time to leave a comment. I'm so thrilled you're enjoying Brian and Justin's reunification ***big smile*** and I'm also glad the warning had been helpful :) I know some readers can't read this story, as it can be upsetting to imagine Brian loving another man. But I'm still so happy you are liking the last chapters :)

And thank you for the 'amazing writing style'. You're too kind with me ***smiling again*** You make my day with your comment :D

I LOVED  this one so much !! You're amazing :)

The thoughts are just great!!  It's part of what makes this story such a great one.That and the fact that you're extremely talented.(I complain cause I want action but I know how necessary they are ) I especially like how well you can see complex characters such as our beloved Brian. It's really nice to have found an author who can see him as more than the asshole he tries to come across as. Most writers make him do things he'd never do or say things we know he'd never would. Thank you for this Brian who just like the one we saw during the seasons builds up walls not because he cant love but because when he loves, he loves too much ( as you've said it )

I was elated when i saw you'd posted  this one ! you cant imagine how much !! And your chapters never disappoint !! I like  that their are taking it slow and trying to be careful with this new relationship and this new opportunity.Something so precious to them.

Cant wait for the next one !! 

Big hugs :D

Author's Response:

Hi Vicky!

** smiling ** Thank you my friend, I'm so glad you enjoyed this chapter :) And thank you also for your compliment on my take on Brian's character. I think it's no secret by now that he is my favorite character, even if I try as best as I can to give the others characters a good place in this story too, but I think I'm failing lol. I did write this story to explore his ability to love, so it's a sure thing that he is taking a big place here, and I'm really glad to see that the readers seem to enjoy my take on it. I don't pretend to own the truth about him, (he is a fictional chracter after all) but I try to analyse his behavior as best as I can, I think ;)

Thank your again for your support Vicky, you know by now I treasure each one of your review :)

Woohoo! Things are really moving along now. Don't be sorry for the thoughts. I do the same thing with my writing. And between you and me, I think the fics with the most thought are always the best ones ! I am so glad that you seem to understand Brian the same way that I do. It makes me smile, and believe me my friend, that is a very good thing! Bravo! Can't wait to see what comes next :)

Alois,

Don't you ever cut the thoughts out of the chapters ! That's make your story so addictive. This is my first comment and it's been a real pleasure all along to watch those fantastic characters be alive and true to themselves.

We hope your muse is going to last a long time !

Author's Response:

Hi Govare!

I'm so honored you decided to let me a review and to let me know you like this story. I can't tell you how much, really. It's always such a pleasure for an author to read a positive comment from a new reviewer. So, thank you very much for your kind words :)

And I'm also glad I'm not annoying my readers with my need to write thoughts on paper. Sometimes, I feel like if I'd let me go, I could write an entire chapter with no action and just thoughts lol Now, that could become boring ;)

Thank you my friend  and *big hugs from France to you*

This is a major step our boys are taking, and I believe they'll do it right this time...no running away or pushing each other away and calling it a sacrifice. ;)

Big *sigh*   I love the part where you say that the truth is, not that Brian doesn't feel anything, but that he feels too much. I get that.

And I'm very happy that Brian can hold on to his love for Aiden, and renew his love with Justin. He truly never did stop loving Justin, but now he can love him probably more fully (if that's the word I'm looking for) because he has expreineced love with another man.  He has a deeper inner knowledge, and his heart is just a little bigger, and more exercised.   Loving Justin now has new meaning and dept for him.

Great chapter.   Can't wait for date night.  lol

Author's Response:

Hi Gina Marie,

I love your thoughts on this. I couldn't agree more. Now, their relationship will be even more meaningful than in the past in a way.

Thank you so much :) I can't wait to write date night lol

Ooo, very interesting first chapter!  I can’t wait to see where you’re taking this.  I’m curious about this Aiden fellow :P   Also, I couldn’t help but giggle when Justin laughed at Brian’s story about being on the subway. 

I still love your descriptive style of writing, Alois.  It’s a real treat to read :) 

Author's Response:

Hi Sarah!

Oh, thank you my friend :) I must warn you that the first chapter has been betaed, but I'm not so sure about the second and the third. Also, I feel like it was a long time ago when I wrote these chapters, when it has only been four months...Where does the time go?

I hope you will enjoy this story. Anyway, thank you for giving it a try!

I myself should have a little time today to read the following chapters of your story. I can't wait ;)

This was a nice chapter !!  :) I´ve enjoyed every chapter you´ve written so far even if some of them  may be more intense or exciting than  others. i´m simply hooked :)

Anticipation is killing me at this stage because there are so many possibilities and I can´t read your mind to know whats gonna happen :( hahha

 Looking forward to chapter 31 !!

Hugs and kisses :D

Author's Response:

Hi Vicky!

I know. This chapter was maybe not as moving or emotional than some I've written in the past, but even if there is not a lot of action here, I wanted to give Justin the place he deserves; the only way to do that was by giving him a way to express himself :)

Next chapter is already written but need to be fixed. I'm a little anxious, as I feel like I'm walking on eggs, trying to reunite the two boys with all the respect they deserve. I could have thought of it sooner lol

Anyway, thank you so much to keep supporting me, and this story. You've been with me since the beginning, and I can't tell you how much it means to me...

Have youever seen the movie Return to Me.   It's with Minnie Driver and David Duchovny. He wife dies in an accident unexpectedly. Minnie Driver recieves her heart, they meet and start falling in love. Then he finds out she has his wife's heart. It brings up his feelings for his wife.

This reminds me of that movie. My heart breaks for Brian, he has loved both these men. They both left him. Through no fault of his own. I know you will do what is best for Brian. I can picture all these scenerios of where you are headed with this story.

The hardest part is waiting week from week. Your story and another Coup de Foudre by Gaedhal  I check once a week. I am chapter to chapter on both. In that one Brian is in a coma after a head trauma. You both have me hanging. Thank you great chapter.

Author's Response:

Hi Toni,

How many times will I have to thank you for your support? I said it before, but I say it again, it means a lot to me to have such wonderful supporters for this story.

I didn't see the movie you are referring to, but it sounds familiar, so I must have heard of it. It's interesting that this movie makes you think about this story. I love it :)

I don't believe in a responsablity for everything, meaning to me, sometimes, there is no fault, no one to blame. Life doesn't always work the way people would want it to. There is no black and white, but just people trying to do the best they can do. Why do I say this? I don't really know lol except I will try to do justice to the characters until the end of this story, even if I'm not sure everybody will like it.

Bonjour Aloïs

J'ai lu tout de suite ce dernier chapitre, tellement je l'attendais.Et je réponds pour vous à la question que je vous posais la dernière fois: "Oui! vous aimez Justin!". Il est absolument magnifique dans ce chapitre et je suis d'accord avec lui : il y a un regret à rattrapper inconsciemment; celui d'avoir laissé Brian au début.

Comment arrivez-vous à mettre de l'humour dans une scène aussi émotionnelle avec Peter? La confidence de Justin sur le baiser échangé est parfaite, ni plus , ni moins, juste "un pur bonheur". Maintenant, Justin et Brian doivent faire face à leurs sentiments; il ne peuvent plus s'échapper...Ils sont des hommes différents,soit, mais pas tant que ça au final.    Merci, Aloïs, pour ce chapitre.

Author's Response:

Bonjour Cinto,

Merci à vous :) Et merci pour votre commentaire. J'adore tellement Justin dans ce chapitre que je suis ravie de voir que les lecteurs le soutiennent et approuvent sa réaction. Il tombe amoureux de Brian et le ressent de la plus belle des façons. En le respectant et en l'aidant du mieux qu'il peut.

J'adore l'humour dans une histoire, et parfois j'aurais aimé pouvoir écrire cette histoire sur un ton plus léger, mais je n'y suis pas vraiment parvenue! Alors je persiste et essaie toujours de méler les émotions et l'humour lorsque l'inspiration me le permet.

Quant à Brian et Justin, il me tarde moi-même d'écrire la suite, avec toujours cette envie de refléter leur amour. J'espère y parvenir :)

Merci pour votre soutien, cela me touche beaucoup (et peut-être peut-on se tutoyer, si cela ne vous dérange pas?)

Bien Amicalement

I'm loving every twist and turn and every single chapter !!

This Justin you're portraying is definitively more madure than the one we saw during the last season and It really makes the story more believable plausive and exciting

Pleeeease dont take too long to post the next chapter !!

Reviewer: cinto (Anonymous) · Date: October 22, 2014 11:31 PM · On: Consequences

Aloïs, est-ce que vous aimez Justin? Il est tellement maltraité ici. Sa déclaration d'amour est bouleversante mais si triste et il se prend l'amour de Brian pour Aiden en pleine face!! J'ai eu mal pour lui, c'était très difficile; j'ai eu mal pour Brian:un pas en avant, deux en arrière...

Et surtout, Aiden est sur un piedestal, un héros qui s'est sacrifié pour l'homme qu'il aimait; jamais Justin ne pourra l'égaler; il sera toujours second, après cet homme parfait, idéal,cet homme aimé, incomparable, qui a fait plus et mieux que lui!! un fantôme, quoi!!

Ah! dernière chose: je suis heureuse qu'ils aient abordé les sentiments et qu'ils ne se cachent plus derrière l'amitié. "Lâche": bravo, Justin! Merci, aloïs

Author's Response:

Bonsoir Cinto,

C'est incroyable pour moi de voir votre réaction. Votre analyse ici est tellement différente de la mienne! Moi qui avait peur que certaines personnes pensent que Brian ait oublié Aidan trop vite, voilà que vous pensez qu'il est décrit comme un héros... Ce qui est encore plus surprenant est que je trouve Justin admirable ici. Il se bat pour Brian, pour l'aider du mieux qu'il peut. Bien sûr que Brian a aimé Aidan, mais Brian ne dit pas ici que c'est l'amour de sa vie. Il a juste la reaction d'un homme qui ne comprend pas, qui est blessé et qui n'a toujours aucune réponse. Il est perdu, confus, il ne sait plus où il en est. Et il commence à réaliser qu'il a beau tout essayer pour ne pas réfléchir à ce que Justin lui fait ressentir, il n'y arrive pas. Tout ça est beaucoup trop pour lui. Justin est un ange pour Brian aujourd'hui, et il va l'aider du mieux qu'il peut, même si cela ne sera pas facile.

Donc oui, je suis très surprise par votre ressenti mais soyez assuré que Justin ne sera pas second. En réalité il ne sera pas premier non plus, parce que je ne vois pas l'amour comme une competition. Il seront juste Brian et Justin. 

merci en tout cas pour votre commentaire! C'est merveilleux de voir vos réactions 

Bien amicalement :)
