A man has to know his limits, and Peter Pan wasn’t all wrong 😑.

Well, he had already wrecked his own home with his true love, so wrecking another one to recover your original one is …somewhat familiar. Troy may have leaned into Miles, but we all know it’s just as easy to back away BEFORE the kiss has contact. So Miles had wanted that contact just as much and would have been telegraphing that desire. While caution did end the kiss, it is a caution that says decisions have to be considered, discussed, and resolved to create a clear path forward. At least that’s what Miles and Troy convey to me…

Alvin and the Chipmunks have cousins from Aunt Kitty’s side of the family??

Yeah, a little distracted by re-assimilating into his prior life, but with Ken now near, the understanding and desire to know his special friend and protector will accelerate the contact a bit, I'm thinking 🤔.

Unfortunately the dream has his relationship and ties with Randy wrapped within an engagement most likely filled with some level of shock/trauma. Randy was and is his anchor for his military life at this time, so I think a phone call with Randy may be coming rather quickly…will Ken be joining the call, perhaps so if Kent has explained any of his personal life before the call as the Asian culture would have family personally thanking Randy for taking care of their son/brother. It none of this tell him thanks for us stuff, it must be personally conveyed.

With Ken now home and to take his twin bed where he is likely to see, hear, and feel some of what Kent and Randy have been living; I think it’s inevitable his twin will since enough that the frank discussions will follow, including Ken’s understanding of just how special Randy is. Randy has taken over as Kent’s friend, family, and protector, while living this military life and its deployments. At least I think his twin will get a most fair and complete discussion…that Kent hasn’t even admitted fully to himself.

So that’s Owen’s POV? 🤣 That would be a big twist.

I’m thinking that’s a no brainer; I’m still a firm believer that Owen inserted himself, persistently and enduring, until he got Troy out of his isolation depression. Yet I don’t give him too much credit for Troy’s movement past Miles, as he distracted Troy so much that Troy stopped therapy and never really got over Miles, while slowly giving in to Owen’s pursuit of a partnered life with his crush.

I guess since no body paints came out restraint could be claimed…by one or the other; hmmm 🤔, perhaps Marco Polo can keep them away from the paints.

Troy may have kissed Miles out of his own throwback to their relationship as it was…and perhaps as he felt that same familiarity with their dinner. Then again, Owen doesn’t seem to be putting much effort into his and Troy’s relationship, other than the spontaneous sex foray of recent past…which totally surprised Troy. As I mentioned in my observations previously, it appeared Owen knew he was setting himself up as a rebound guy. Even then he had a long hard time winning Troy’s confidence; the competition with the memories of Miles being tough, that being with Miles gone. Now that Miles is back, does Owen feel he can even compete…Troy has never gone gaga so quickly and completely as he has seen Troy respond to Miles. So has Owen pulled away knowing he doesn’t hold a candle against Miles or is it perhaps that living together with Troy has made the reality of their plain relationship more obviou?

Marco Polo knows

That wasn’t restraint, that was a proper escape maneuver; so yes, hopefully Miles has learned to disengage without a disappear.

Him or his shorts…wait, both me thinks.

Growth from tragedy, yet borne of love from all involved. Yet we see and melded family come together under a single roof, and a father/guardian working hard to keep that family together. It’s a touching story with twists of fate at it’s core. Thanks for re-visiting this story to pen the final chapter. I hope all is well with you, as I well know the challenges life gives us slows us down; I too am learning a slower pace. Take care and thanks again for your loving and descriptive tale from down under.

Nothing like meeting the parents in the middle of a complex calf birthing; with a bruised face and cracked ribs. Sky sails on the winds of change as he jumps right into the critical post birth massage, impressing the mom and surprising the dad. This effeminate young man isn’t opposed to getting his hands dirty with a little ranch work; is it him or is this more to be near his new hero and crush…his type. Yup, he let it slip that Wyatt is his type, though not his previously know type. Perhaps both of these young men have met with their unexpected soulmates. Sky is interested and willing to see ranch life, and Wyatt is happy to get a breath of fresh air in a partner that shares his vision of living rural life…and Sky is welcomed to be himself. This has very interesting dynamics and simple twists, set within the ranch environment…but what lurks beyond as dad questioned, will there be more unfinished business surrounding Sky.

And us humans have to figure out what they are on about; smart, but if only they could communicate clearly and with less bite, claws, surprise ankle attacks, etc.

It was sleep typing….I swear!

I remember having to pee over the side of the tub as dad sat on the throne reading the paper…really?? The throne is for business dad!

What, you think Troy grabbed Owen’s sunscreen?

Oh, Paul had to give a public and humiliating BJ, and the special needs trick was cruel? 😂 Yeah, it was was very erotic so it was very wrong. Hahaha

Eyes, nuts, and knees; excellent battles strategies when out sized and outnumbered.

lol, depends on who or what is sticking it to them in their end.

Carl thinks he’s the big cheese since his dad is a cop, more specifically a military cop, TSgt Dad meeting the Major that tackles cop bad dealing; did you really ignore the fact that your kid is a bully and sex offender?

Growing up with us kids and parents in a one bath house that saying had true meaning…you’re wasting time when others still have business to deal with…so shit or get off the pot!
