Daithi! Whatever gives you that idea? I'd say tuck this episode away and remember it. That's all I'm saying.

Let's see, 18, away from parents for the first time - I'm has his own place now without them, beer in the fridge, need to act cool with the old heads - yeah, I'd say it does.

Jason grabbed the cutting board and took the zucchini from Peter. "How do you want them cut?" "In half and then in quarters." Searching for a knife, Jason heard his brother's heavy footsteps. "Hey Pete, Bro. What's going on?" Dean sounded as tired as he looked to Jason. "I'm trying to help Pete make dinner." Peter nudged Jason. "Actually, you've gotten much better at this since we met. I'll make a cook out of you yet." "Please do." Dean shook his head and opened the refrigerator. "I've had

Thanks Dave, and yes you've always been very vocal with your support. THanks for that and yes, you were one of those who gently nudged me to work on something more with these characters and setting, so you got your wish.

I thought it would be easier to 'pillow' talk the hints as to what happened than have Jason 'think' about them. Besides. to me this is how the 'after sex' should be if it's not a hook up or on the DL. They not only like each other, but they enjoy being close. Isn't that how it should be? Ethan and Blake will figure out what to do next, just give them a bit of time.

Quick refresher - Blake is on the soccer team and on his first day at practice he called Jason a fag hoping to cover up that he was gay. Almost go him kicked off the team. After that Jason figured him out and they became friends. Ethan was the guy Jason met working for his grandparents over the summer. He is also the one who almost slept with Jason when he and Peter were on the outs. But feel free to re-read for more details.

I think they have had time to grow since we last saw them riding off on the back of Pete's motorcycle. Besides, do you really think that naked and 'sore' is the right time to argue? That's be some downer of a pillow talk. As for the focus of these, I think there will be a decent amount from them, but certainly not the majority. There are too many characters who are elbowing me for air time.

Well Darryl's probably used to it by now. Dean, well there is a reason he got the room furtherest from the one Jason and Peter share.

Well thanks for the clarification - not that I'm naming names, but you know some people want all the hot guys to be gay and if they're not, they get pissy. Actually Dean was one of my two choices for next chapter, so we'll see. Not sure I'm ready to get inside his or Darryl's head - i.e. it will be about him but from someone elses perspective. Not sure yet.

Okay, first let's be clear - Dean and Darryl are straight. Sorry, but there won't be a I wonder what it feels like to have a cock in my mouth/ass moments between these two. Not with each other, not with someone else. They're straight, but they don't care that Jason and Peter are not. As for the re-reading. Maybe I'll post a link to a chapter that corresponds to the reference if there is one in the short chapters. That way I'll save y'all some major reading. LOL

Indeed you can B-man. I mean what's the point in locking the door if you're worried about who might hear you. Besides, everyone is going to think they're doing something. Might as well do what they think you're doing to at least earn the snickers behind your backs.

With a thousand word limit, the ability to fill in all the details makes it a bit hard. So my goal is to hint where I can to spend my words on the 'story'. I want to be sure the hints are specific enough to fill in 'some' of the gaps. But I would suspect that your imagination and mine might be similar, but if not, who cares, they can do whatever you think they did. I give them permission.

What's next? The ink is barely dry here Actually, I'm not totally sure what's next. Dean is not off to a good start with his brother and Blake has a few things to work out so there are options. But we'll see. There might b a few guests who'll make appearances along the way. All of which doesn't answer your question but we'll see what's next. I don't think there will pillow talk next time, however.

Chapter 3 is up and ready. Comments are always welcome

Jason watched his right hand trace patterns in Peter's fine chest hairs. Resting on Peter's shoulder, Jason felt his boyfriend's hand gently rubbing his lower back and butt. After a grueling ten plus mile run, he hadn't planned on afternoon sex, but it didn't take much for Peter to get him in the mood. Peter kissed Jason's still damp hair. "What's going on in here, Soccer Boy?" Jason snuggled a bit closer. "Just happy, and a bit sore. It's been a while since you topped me." "Was I too rough?"

Amazing what we learn along the way and how we cringe at what we wrote once upon a time before we learned all we learned. But the story is strong and that's what matters most. You can always clean up a strong story - and you know how I felt about Eternity so I'll wait to see the new and improved story.

The beauty of the new format is that I can probably stick to a chapter a week, so that's a darn sight better than weeks without a chapter that used to happen. Hopefully folks will enjoy it enough to stick with it for a while. So far people seem to like it so I'll keep it going. Thanks again. Andy

Thanks for letting me know. I've wanted to get back to the these characters but never really seemed to have the story for it. This seems perfect for me - at least for now. Maybe I'll do some thing more soon, no promises however, it will be a big undertaking if I do.

GeR - you don't really expect me to spend a chapter on them having sex do you? Just imagine what you think they'd do. Whatever you decide, it's fine. I specifically DON'T write those things so they can do whatever you like - I wrote two sex scenes between them in 300K words. I'm being true to myself here.

One of the things I almost hate about you is that you can almost see where I'm going next. Yup, Dean is about to get a lesson in adulthood and what it means to be a student athlete. Sure it's great to live with the seniors, but two of those seniors are his team captains and one is the team captain's fiercely loyal and supportive boyfriend. One does wonder if Dean is ready for what's ahead. Thanks for reading and especially for letting me know that so far the format isn't a drag. One good thing is that it's not too difficult to churn out a thousand word story. Not simple, but by no means too hard to do on a weekly basis. Andy

Tony, Wow, I even got to be your first GA post too. Okay, so first, glad to know you're liking the new stuff. it's a bit harder and easier to write if that makes sense. The artificial word count limit makes the stories more focused and concise, but at the same time, they can be less than satisfying if I can't get the story into 1000 words. I've decided that IF I need more, I'll either continue the same thread for another week OR, I'll find a natural break and post the rest on GA as a longer chapter. IDK yet. As for the sequel, well yes, I do have a sequel kinda mapped out already so no need to tell you sod off, just that I've already got the story line mapped out. This 'senior year, might last a bit more than a year in the telling, but hopefully it will set up the sequel well enough that I can transition. I will tell you that I do kinda have the last 'chapter' thought out so that I can segue into the five years later story. But I have to find the time to do the five years later. SO nope, not gonna say shove off, just gonna say, I've got the story laid out. Andy

Thanks, glad you enjoy. My goal is to have a loose story line playing through all the chapters. Maybe in the end it'll be more involved than flash fiction can accommodate, but we'll see. For now, I like the format because I can reintroduce people and places and not have to commit to a whole novel at the moment. Who knows maybe it will morph into that by the end. But no promises there. Thanks again. Andy

In fairness to you - that 'new' emoticon is really an old one they redisgned. Yes, you are correct there is much that must still be discussed, but I figurd that ought to come from Blake. I have a couple ideas for the next couple scenes. Probably the next one will be Darryl Dean, Pete, Jason, but it could be Blake & Ethan, or it could be Blake and Roommate. I've got the itch to do something down the road with Barbara and Jordan's mom, but I figure I need to do a chapter that 'time stamps' the Trial. So i guess need to get us up to that point in the time line first. But don't you think it'd be nice to see Hurricaine Barbara on Jason's side this time??? Thanks and on to next week's chapter.

Oh please, use your imagination. We all know what's going to happen next. The point is they're together and doing well. The first few chapters are going to be about reintroducing some of the main characters, but I figured a little spice was okay. Who knew Moderator Mike wanted the full monty.

Yeah, the 1000 word limit had me cut a few things - like the fact this is a four bedroom off campus house and Jason and Peter share one room and 'Jason's' room is the guest bedroom. I realize that wasn't terribly clear, I'll try to find a way to clarify at some point in the 'chapters' but for now accept that J & P took the big bedroom with the bathroom and Dean and Darryl share the other bathroom. Sorry about that.
