Gus was always for himself, little bastard should never bee born

Author's Response:

Give him a chance. He's a teenager, with all the hormones that go wtih it, as well as the melodrama.  He and his father have a close relationship in this story, and that will be reflected later.  He'll come around. Thank you for taking the time to comment!  ~Kim

who was gus in the last banner?

 

I am sorry, but I don't know.  Mika, my co-writer, made the banner, so you could try to contact her via the 'contact author' function on her bio page and ask her. Sorry I can't answer the question.  ~Kim

Loved it! The banners and pics were great as well. Just one question, the man that hit Justin with the car was never found? Great job!

Author's Response:

Hi, Caryn! Thanks so much for reading this one, and for your comments! No, Mika (my co-author) and I thought about that, but we finally decided it wasn't crucial to the storyline, so the perpetrator was never discovered.  I am delighted that you enjoyed this story. Thank you so much. *Hugs*  ~Kim

Great chapter :)

Reviewer: kellydeer (Signed) · Date: March 04, 2014 02:06 AM · On: Dinner and a Movie

In the flashback sequence, Justin is thinking of the first time he saw Brian and it was at Babylon. The flashback also alludes to it being the night before he was to begin school, so I thought it might be a discrepancy in the story...no biggie, and yes I'm enjoying this story muchly!  I think it's a good collaboration. Keeps things from being too sweet. :)

Author's Response:

Hi, Kelly - thanks for the followup note.  I see what you mean now.  I think that was supposed to be before the two actually met face-to-face at Woodys; perhaps Justin was at Babylon initially and noticed Brian then. But I could see why they might look like a discrepancy.  One of the hazards of co-writing a story, I guess.;)  I'm glad it's not affecting your enjoyment of it, however.  It was a challenge to co-write with someone in a different country/time zone, so not sure if I would do it again. But it was an interessting endeavor!

Thank you for letting Mika and I know that you are enjoying the story.  We appreciate the feedback.  ~Kim and Mika

Oh my God, the last chapter… I can’t believe it! I wanted to wait till this story was finished before reading it, but I couldn’t do it, and got completely obsessed. Waiting for next chapters was torturous, but so worth it! Thank you for designing this chapter in such a way – I love photos, they make the story even more alive. They’re beautiful.

I *love* Brian’s behavior after the accident. It’s as if he cherishes Justin, loves him insanely, would do absolutely anything for him. I love this kind of relationship so much! I wish I were Justin!:) Or at least had someone like Brian to treat me this way. So tender, so loving, so caring. I just melted from happiness. No wonder Brian is so protective – I would be too if something like that happened to my beloved one.

It’s probably my most favorite chapter! I’m so happy for Kayla and hew perfect boyfriend, for Brian and Justin, of course, for Gus and Tristan. Finally Gus has some action either!:) He’s a brat, but a lovely and devoted brat.

Oh my… I hoped it would be it, but I didn’t expect it! Brian proposed… and so beautifully! This is the best proposal for this story, for these Brian and Justin… I don’t know why, but everything about them just fit organically the atmosphere Brian created, the words he chose. It’s hard to explain:) And Justin’s re action… of course he didn’t believe it at first – I probably wouldn’t, too!:) But I’m so glad Brian didn’t back down, didn’t use this opportunity to just laugh and confirm it was a joke. And even pushed it when Justin didn’t immediately agree! It made me very nervous, I have to admit. He’s definitely crazy about Justin!

Oh, that island is sooo beautiful! You’re just killing me here, I’d give a lot to visit it! Especially to visit Brian and Justin’s ‘stylish’ wedding:) The ending was so beautiful… I nearly cried – I don’ know why, everyone is happy… but it evoked such deep feelings inside me… I swear I saw everything with my own eyes – Brian and Justin, this fantastically beautiful place, the beach… it’s *incredible*.

Thank you so much for your hard work, girls! I’m sure it was difficult to write such a masterpiece, but you can be sure it was worth it – your work is greatly appreciated! It made me want a lot of things, but mostly – to re-read everything from the start. It’s a dream-story. Thank you!!!

Author's Response:

Hello, dear friend!  Mika and I always cherish your in-depth, wonderful comments!  Thank you for going on this journey with us.

Well done on a fantastic story both of you! It was gripping from the very beginning right through to the very end! And what I liked most, was that the story Gus/Tristan was so exciting that I was sometimes more interested in reading that, which actually surprised me, cause I don't usually go for the teeny stuff, but I really enjoyed it and it was a completely riveting read!

Author's Response:

Hi, Lisa! Mika and I want to thank you for reading this story, and for your comments. I know what you mean about getting caught up in minor characters; that same thing's been happening to me with Fin and Tony in "My Heart's Desire."  I'm going to hate to let them go when I finish that one.  It's been interesting co-writing this story, but I will be relieved in a way to get back to the others I need to finish now.  Always hard to see a story end, but then it means a possible beginning for a new one (once I get some others finished, at least).

Thanks again, my friend, for the support. We both appreciate it.  *Hugs*  ~Mika and Kim

I guess I'm a sentimental, romantic slob, because this ending was perfect. I was hesitant about the proposal because Justin was so young, but Brian's argument won me over. And I was happy that everyone had found their own perfect mates, too.

Thanks for the ride and I'm looking foward to more collaborations in the future.

Hi, Sandra! Mika and I thank you for reading and taking the time to comment. We're glad you liked the romantic Brian.;)  Not sure if we will be able to collaborate on any in the near future, since I'm trying hard to wrap up a couple of my own stories, but I DO know that Mika has one she wants to post soon that she has asked me to beta, so I hope you will enjoy that one.:)

Congratulations ladies on a wonderful story. I know it must be challenging to take on such a task - of course, if you agree on everything, then, it would be simple! LOL. It has been an epic tale from start to finish. Lust, drama, angst. I think it had it all, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I liked Brian's inference to being 'off the menu' for some time. Yes, I think that's how it goes when this adorable blond bulldozes into his life - no matter what 'verse. 

Thank you for this entertaining story. It has been greatly enjoyed. And... congratulations to you both on the blue ribbon. It is much deserved! 

On another note - perhaps we should do this sometime, Kim. You could try to curb my Dark!Brian tendencies! Haha. 

Author's Response:

Hi, Janet!  Mika and I want to thank you for reading and for the comments, my friend.  LOL!  Hmmm...a collaboration between the two of us; I wonder what sort of hybrid Brian THAT would result in?  Ha!  That might be quite interesting!  I'll give that some thought.;)  First, though, I'm going to try hard to concentrate on the three other WIPs I have going so I can maybe get at least two of them finished before I move onto another one.  So hard, though, when there are so many new story ideas rushing through my head! 

I could think of no other honor than co-writing a story with you, though.:)  Will give that some thought!  Thanks so much for taking the time to read and review, Janet; you know how much I appreciate that, and I know MIka does, too.  *Hugs*  ~Mika and Kim

Hello Kim! Another great chapter. I really enjoyed reading this story and kind of little bit sad that it is about to end. But still can't hide the excitement of the ending chapter specially if it will be after a year, getting curious what will be happening to their individual love life. And I am also hoping for new stories you and Mika might come up with. {{{Hugs}}}

Author's Response:

Hi, Cindy! Thank you for reading and for the comments, my friend.  Mika and I appreciate that so much.  Well, I THINK the next chapter will be the last one.  We will have a lot to cover, so it will depend upon how much we can complete in that chapter without it getting too lengthy. But I'm hopeful we can get it wrapped up with one more part.  So glad that you are enjoying it. As for new stories, I always have plenty on the back burner, but not sure if Mika will want to collaborate on another one. I want to finish up at least one more of my own stories before I start a new one anyway.  Hopefully that won't take too long, though.  Thanks again for all the support!  It is very appreciated.  *Hugs*  ~Kim and Mika

I started this story because you wrote it - but thinking it wasn't really going to be my thing ... and then you caught me (as you do - lol)

love our favorite couple in this - very different - very sweet - and then (who would have thought it) Tristan and Gus became just as much the stars of the show

such a shame that we only have one more chapter - really would have loved to watch that one grow and develop

looking forward to seeing how you tie this one up

Charle

Author's Response:

Hi, Charle! Well, I'm glad you took a chance on this one.  It IS a different premise.  I DID tell Mika at the onset that I would not want an actual, physical relationship between Gus and Justin, or I just couldn't see anything developing afterward with Brian and Justin; too much of an "ew" factor.  But the idea of both Kinney 'men' falling for the same guy was too good to resist.;) 

We're going to try and wrap it up in the next part; I would really like to. Whether or not we can do that in one more installment remains to be seen, though, because we will have a lot to cover. But we'll see what happens. 

Thank you so much for deciding to read and for the comments, Charle!  Mika and I are very appreciative of the support.  And, BTW, hope that you will either work some more on your Christmas WIP or on a new story (hint, hint). I always love to read your stories.:)  *Hugs*  ~Mika and Kim

Author's Response:

Hi, Sandy! Thank you for reading and for the comments. I suppose Mika and I could have stretched it out just a bit to detail more of Kayla and Tristan's relationship with River and Gus, but it feels right to move it forward in light of what we want to write in the last part (how is that for a tease?);)  But we are very glad you have been enjoying the story, and hopefully finishing this up - along with maybe one other story of my own - will allow me to start on a new one.;)  Thanks again for the kind words and for the support; we greatly appreciate it.  *Hugs*  ~Mika and Kim

Reviewer: xlovelytragedy (Anonymous) · Date: November 16, 2013 06:05 AM · On: When the Heart Speaks

Okay, firstly I must express how deeply I love this story so far. A father and son in love with the same man. It's both taboo and completely genius! I literally just read all the chapters you have so far in one sitting, and I adored them all. The writing is grade A, and the concept of the story is nicely executed. 

 

I felt the need to mention something about chapter 17 though... When Justin is flatlining, the doctors administer a shock to his heart via the defibrillator. Despite what medical shows often portray on television, this is a big NO in the real world. A heart has to have a shockable rhythm--  Ventricular Fibrillation or Pulseless Ventricular Tachycardia-- before the defibrillator can be used on the patient. The doctors shocking Justin while he was flatlining would have put the nail in his coffin, and Brian could have sued them for medical negligence. 

 

When a heart is in asystole (flatline) then chest compressions and administered drugs (adenosine, epinephrine, atropine) are given to the victim until the heart is in V-fib or V-tach, so that a shock can return the heart to it's normal pattern. Shocking a flatline will not help and is a fatal mistake. 

 

However, this isn't the real world in fandom land, so it's no big deal. I just thought I would spew out some medical facts for you in case you wanted things to be more realistic in this beautifully crafted work of fiction. 

 

Anyways, I can't wait for an update on this fic. I love that Gus is being so well behaved about his father's relationship with Justin and that he is giving Tristan and what they have with each other a go. This story is wonderful, and I will be awaiting the next chapter with bated breath. 

Author's Response:

Hi, Lily! First of all, welcome to Midnight Whispers! Always great to see a new member on here.;)  Secondly, thank you for the thoughtful comments and for reading our story. I appreciate the clarification, and after doing a little research I discovered you are absolutely right, so thank you for pointing that out.  I changed the chapter in question so Justin now went into V-Fib; hopefully that is more accurate.  Mika, my co-writer and I, are glad you are enjoying this story so much!  It was a very interesting concept that Mika broached me with, and I couldn't resist helping her co-write it. We are probably looking at two more chapters yet to go, so we hope you will continue to enjoy the rest of it.

Thank you again for reading, for the comments, and for the information.  And thank you, also, for the favorite author as well as the favorite story designation for "Remember Me."  I am very honored by that.  *Hugs*  ~Mika and Kim

Thanks to you sweet Kim and Mica!!! You just made my day! It's been a while since the last update, but it’s worth the wait! Thanks much for the long chapter! I love it super much! I am excited what will happen in Gus and Tristan's Date. I am greatly happy that Gus resolved about Lindsay’s plan of fighting for custody and I am really hoping that's the end of it. And she won’t bother the father and son much more. I hope to picture out what River Shaw will look like, and happy to know that Kayla might find a love life with him. And most importantly, B/J is back fully to each other’s arms and I felt the love much more arise between them. Looking forward to the next chapter. {{{Hugs}}}

Author's Response:

Hi, Cindy! We're so happy that you enjoyed this chapter!:)  Yes, I think things are moving along rather smoothly now. I still feel there will be some awkwardness between Justin and Gus initially, but I'm confident that they will work through it. And yes, Lindsay is gone for good - yay!  The date between Tristan & Gus will be prominent in the next chapter, and I think Brian has a discussion he needs to make with his best friend about not making comments regarding his sex life with his son. Aaargh.

Hi Kim :)

Kudos to Gus for standing up to Lindsay, she needed a good reality check where her son is concerned. And it's wonderful that he and Tristan are finally working things out. Things seem to be looking up for Kayla as well...but she better be careful starting off not being completely honest could change things in the long run.

Author's Response:

Hi, Tamara! Mika and I thank you as always for the support, my friend.  Yeah, it's good to get the meddling mother out of the picture.  I think she realizes now that there is no way she can come between Gus and his Dad. As for Kayla, I think she will wind up telling this boy the truth; after all, there could be some legal repercussions there, consent wise.  I think she just wanted to go out with the guy so badly that she was willing to fudge just a bit. But we won't let anything else bad happen to Gus' best friend.;)  Gus and Tristan's first date will be in the next chapter, as well as some other issues to tie up the loose ends, before we have the epilogue that takes place down the road. Thank you again for all the support, Tamara!  It is greatly appreciated.  *Hugs* ~Mika and Kim

Author's Response:

Hi, Jessie - Yeah, Gus finally figured out how childish he was being, and how much in love his father and Justin are.  I think he always knew deep down that he never had a chance with Justin, and Justin had always been upfront with him.  I imagine there will still be some awkwardness between them, and there is still the issue of both Owen and the custody battle with Lindsay.  We'll probably have two more chapters of this to go before it's all said and done.  Thanks again for the feedback!  My co-writer and I are very grateful for your thoughtfulness.  *Hugs*  ~Mika and Kim

We probably have two more chapters to go to wrap everything up.  Sorry it takes us a little while to update; between RL and the two of us being in two different parts of the world, it can be difficult logistically to do sometimes, but we updated twice within the past few weeks, so that's actually faster than normal (at least from my own, typical writing schedule, anyway!).

Thank you for posting.

I'm glad Gus realized quickly that it was ok for Brian and Justin to be together.

Author's Response:

Thank you for reading and for the comments!  Yes, I think Gus realized what a jerk he was being before.  Now that he had a chance to observe them together - and realize that he never really had Justin in the first place - I think he understood how foolish he was being. 

Mika and I will probably have two more chapters of this before it's wrapped up. Thanks again for the feedback; we appreciate you taking the time to do that. *Hugs*  ~Kim and Mika

Hey girl! Just thought I would drop in and say Hi. Bored-off-housework done, sooo thought I would drop you you a hey! We are all good. Lee will be comingback to work next week. He bought a used hummer that he calls 'THE HULK". funny~~~. I think he will feel safer, but I don't know where he will park it. BB said 'any where he wants to" I have been entertaining the thought of having a child. Don't know how yet, but I am contemplating. I believe Nonie is going to move home to Europe-she is hme sick and only working part time which she can do there. i will miss her but I understand howshe feels. Time marches on sometimes not swo much fun. Next week TLC starts, can't wait. Well kiddo I guess I will sign off. Will be waiting for your next update. lol

Author's Response:

Hi, dear friend - thank you for the updates!  So glad to hear that Lee's coming back to work! Loved Brian's response to where he can park - ha!  I think he's right.  The wife of the attorney I used to work for had a Hummer and they were quite big.  I don't think he'll have to worry about someone injuring him in THAT thing!  I think "The Hulk" is a fitting name for his new vehicle.;) Quite a departure from the Vixen, though.

I think, too, that you would make a great mom for a child.  Only you can decide if that is what is best for you though.  But if you do, I think he/she will be a very lucky child.  Tell Nonie I wish her the very best in whatever she decides.  I know how strong a pull it can be to want to go home.

Take care and keep in touch! Hope everyone in the reading group enjoys"TLC" and you make lots of money - ha!  I'm working on the next part of "Tame the Wild Stallion" as promised before I go onto Lee's favorite.  Mika's also working on the next part of "Father, Son, and the Blond," so I'm hoping to have some more updates soon. Would love a Halloween one-shot, but so far I haven't gotten inspired yet.  Still time, though, so maybe....

Tell everyone I said hello and send my love.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Thank you for the chapter.

Hello, Saskya!

Reviewer: Blanca (Signed) · Date: October 02, 2013 06:26 PM · On: Please, God...

Why why why??? ...both your updated stories were making me super sad. Why Justin always being hurt in both. You just made me cry today sweetie not only on Justin's situation but when Brian talked to him while he was in bed; that was so devastating. My heart really aches for Brian too. And I am disappointed with Gus; this is the time that his father needs him by his side. But what he is about to do? I don't think he is in love with Justin; he will never be having this kind of true feelings for him as what his Father does. He should know that by now. He is blinded with jealousy. And that created wrong decisions he will just make. Anyways, thanks for the update sweetie. I am grateful to have a friend like you who can make my days away from boring reality :) :) :) {{{Hugs}}}

Author's Response:

Hi, Cindy!  I know - a lot of angst in both stories.  And a lot of sadness, particularly in this one.  Yes, Brian is really torn up in this story between his love for his son and his love for Justin.  Add to that an emotional 16-year-old son who is hormone-driven and it really makes for a mess!  It's not an excuse for Gus' behavior, but I do think it's an explanation for it.  I think he is slowly beginning to realize how deep the feelings between his father and Justin run, however - and perhaps he will soon realize how great a guy Tristan is and give him a chance.

Sorry to make you cry!  Hope you will bear with us - and bear with me in "Stallion" - until we can make things right again.  Thanks as always for reading and for the support, Cindy!  It WILL get better on both accounts.  You know we won't leave the boys unhappy - either father OR son.  *Hugs*  ~Mika and Kim

Reading this chapter at work was not a good idea. But I was so happy to see an update. I don't want Gus to leave his home :(

Great, wonderful chapter. Thank you so much

Author's Response:

Hi, my friend!  Well, Mika and I are flattered that you would be so interested in the story that you would sneak a peek at work.;) 

I guess you have to look at it from the perspective of this being a hornone-driven, 16-year-old boy with all the emotions that go with that.  I have a feeling, though, that another young man may be about to provide some much-needed comfort here.;)  And I can't wait to work on the bedside scene when a certain blond finally wakes up to find his love sitting by his bed (at least, I hope that's what Mika has in mind for me to work with).;)

Thanks very much for reading and for the comments!  We both appreciate that so much.  *Hugs*  ~Mika and Kim

Oh, Jeezzzz... My heart is racing. This was one powerful chapter! Life, death, love, heartbreak... Lord...

My faith in Gus is somewhat redeemed now. I know he's a young boy, with a young boy's reasoning and perception and experience, but I still have a hard time with his initial reaction to Brian. Right now, dealing with all of that, AND Justin in such severe condition, AND Gus's pronouncement that he's leaving, I wonder how the man can hold it together. But, putting Gus in proximity with Tristan may be a very good thing.

Author's Response:

Hi, Roni!  Thank you so much for reading and for the comments.  It's always great to receive them from such a wonderful writer as yourself.;)  Yes, I think Gus and Tristan are finally going to start deepening their relationship going forward. And, of course, there's still the issue of Lindsay.  I don't think this will help Brian at the moment, and I could see her using this to her advantage somehow.  Brian has certainly got a lot of his plate at the moment, doesn't he? Sigh...teenage boys! 

Thanks again, Roni, for the support.  Mika and I greatly appreciate that.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Author's Response:

Hi, my friend - yes, what an impetus to push Brian to admit how he feels.  I guess that is human nature, though.  I admit I think I'm going to enjoy the little bedside reunion between our boys here.;)  Thanks as always for taking the time to read and especially review.  *Hugs*  ~Mika and Kim

Reviewer: JAZZEPOET (Signed) · Date: October 02, 2013 08:20 AM · On: Please, God...

Wow....just wow... while I understand how Gus must be feeling, I think he would be making a big mistake by leaving his father. I'm going to try to say this without sounding insensitive...Gus is a healthy young man with the opportunity for love himself if he could only open his eyes to it. Permanent distance is not the answer.

Hmmmm...I have a feeling that Ms Kayla may have a great deal of explaining to do. I mean why was she bruised and crying? Is the reason why Tristan is so upset because he knows what happened? So many questions to be answered here.

Author's Response:

Hi, Tamara, my friend!  Mika and I for the comments and for reading.  I understand your annoyance with Gus.  At least he's finally startng to realize how deeply his father feels for Justin.  And I do think Gus is about to come to a lot of realizations regarding Tristan shortly.  And yes, there are some things going on in the background with Kayla and her brother that you very perceptively picked up on.

I'm hopful that my co-writer can work on her part of the update soon. Thank you again for all the support!  *Hugs*  ~Mika and Kim

This chapter is so fantastic.
Gus being so sweet, but knowing how to use the weapons of seduction Kinney. Unfortunately for Gus, Justin is Brian.
Incidentally, I love this version of you Brian. He does not cease to be Brian, but it is much less stressful than our old acquaintance.
Brian jealous and possessive. The breathtaking encounter between the two boys. Michael being Michael. This is very good!
Like a lot of your work. Congratulations for the great story!

I was looking forward to this chapter since the very beginning of the story! What completely shocks me is the fact that you always continue to surprise me – and obviously not only me, but all the readers. I imagined thousands of possible scenarios, but *this*? I’ve never thought of anything even remotely like that!

I feel so bad for Tristan! I can understand him, Gus is treating him not in the best way. Perhaps before criticizing his father for doing the same thing with Justin, he should think about himself. He’s playing with Tristan – I understand, of course, that he isn’t doing it deliberately, he’s just confused, but anyway. Good thing Tristan has Kayla to support him! But that stupid Owen…  TOO many things are happening at once, my heart will definitely stop one moment! :)

Oh… I can’t really describe what I was feeling while reading this chapter. The scene in the loft is so emotional, so heartbreaking, so terrible! Poor Brian, poor Gus… And poor Justin. I think I’m sorry for him most.

Gus was behaving completely irrationally, blaming Brian, shouting all those hurtful things… but it was expected, it couldn’t be any other way. After shocking discovery like this, who would stay rational?? Especially a teenager boy… but when he asked Brian to choose, I admit, I felt very-very angry. That’s too much, too selfish! I know people have both good and bad sides, but still I felt furious. That is why I sympathize Justin the most – it is *he* who is going to be left out, left completely alone. Brian and Gus could grieve, but together, they might be able to go on… though I doubt their relationship would stay the same. Brian hardly could feel about Gus the same way he always did after being forced to leave the one person he was ever in love with. Funny thing – I understand completely that he chose Gus, I’d have been surprised if it hadn’t happened, but I still feel insanely angry with him. Life can be *so* complicated! Rare stories do that to you, make you feel this many emotions at once. I wonder if Justin will feel the same way as I do. Because he certainly can understand why Brian chose his son, but will he wholeheartedly accept it? I don’t know. I’m not sure I would.

The ending left me speechless. Now *that* was what I didn’t expect at all! The accident?! I give up, I can’t even start to imagine what can happen next! Please, update soon – I’ve become completely addicted and crazed!

Thank you, girls, it was an *incredible* chapter! I can’t wait for more!           

Author's Response:

Hi, Sweetie!  Yes, this one is a definite roller coaster of emotions. There is so much going on here, and so many feelings.  Love, jealousy, shock, hurt.  And yes, Gus was definitely out of line, but as a teenage boy who had just discovered he would never have Justin, the boy he had been dreaming about for so long, it had to be a tremendous shock to him. So he lashed out at his father unreasonably.  He had to know that Brian would pick him and not Justin; that was the ultimate way for him to hurt Justin in response to what he sees as a betrayal.

I do think the accident will demonstrate to Gus just how much his father loves Justin, and will definitely change the dynamics here for all concerned. As always, Mika and I thank you for the amazing feedback!  My co-writer is going through some rather major RL issues at the moment, but this story WILL be updated just as soon as possible. Thank you again for all the support.  *Hugs*  ~Mika and Kim

Brian is a really great dad. Their relationship is honest and true. Brian is for your child to only one parent can be great. I am very worried about how things will be with them when they realize they are in love with the same man.
Brian telling Gus that he can make Justin forget the other man. Ah! I do not want to see any of them suffer. I hope this relationship so beautiful survive this.

Author's Response:

Hello, there!  Mika and I thank you sincerely for reading and for the comments!  I, too, think I can understand Gus's reaction.  He is obviously in shock over what has just happened, especially after beginning to believe he might finally have a chance with Justin.  Now he realizes he never had a chance at all, and is lashing out at anyone he can, including the one man who has loved him unconditionally.  I think Justin's accident will be the catalyst to open up a lot of eyes here.

Mika promised me she will work on her part of this in the next few days, so I hopeful we can update again very soon. Thank you again for the feedback! It is most appreciated.  *Hugs*  ~Mika and Kim

I hope that Justin will be fine and everything will be rectified. Sorry Gus, yes, but even so, his reaction to your father gone, it was cruel, though understandable.
Thank you for the chapter. :)

Author's Response:

Hello, Saskya! Thank you for reading and for the comments.  And do not worry; your English is fine, my friend.;)  Yes, there is a lot of hurt - both physical AND emotional - right now.  But I do think that Justin's accident will begin to show Gus just how much his father cares about - and even loves - the young man he now knows will never be his. And perhaps at last Tristan will finally have a chance with him.  Of course, first Mica and I have to get rid of that pesky Owen, who is a real troublemaker.

I love your story!!!!! But I want to spank them all!!!

I really loved Gus in that story, I know he was in shock but what he did was so cruel and unnecessary.It's not as if he was in a relationship with Justin with promise rings etc.

He didn't even had to make his father choose. Brian would have probably done it on his own because he loves his son so much. Brian should have a deep conversation with his son. How Gus could think for one second that his father could hurt him deliberately?

And Justin running on his bike without his helmet!!!! What the f***?

Gus is going to feel so guilty.

Please update soon!!!

 

 

Author's Response:

Hi, Sorcha!  Yeah, I wouldn't mind spanking them all, too (and not in a 'good' way - LOL!).  I think father and son will need a LONG talk before this is over, and yes, you are right.  I think Brian would hae chosen him anyway, despite his sorrow over having to do that.  This will turn out to be a good thing, though.

No! Gus does not get to act like the injured party. Justin met Brian first and made it perfectly clear to Gus many a time that all he was interested in was friendship, so Gus has no right at all to feel betrayed or issue that ultimatum. Brian and Justin did nothing wrong. Gus acting like a spoiled teenager resulted in Justin getting hurt. I want to punch him for being a dick. 

And Owen? That's too much drama to handle at once. 

Author's Response:

Hi, Nikki!  I know - drama overload here!  Mica is evil.;)  And totally agree with you about Gus, but you have to remember that he had just gotten hopeful that things might be taking a positive turn with him and Justin, and now this.  On top of that Brian will now be wondering about 'that kiss.'  I think somewhere along the line that will have to be explained.  This will actually turn out to be a good thing, though.

Hi, Cindy!  I know - what a roller coaster!  And yes, Gus is being a jerk here. But I think it's understandable in light of what he had been hoping as well as what he had just witnessed. After all, he is a teenager and probably prone to acting before he thinks.  I do think father and son will need to have a LONG talk about this after they make sure that Justin is going to be okay.
