CHAPTER THIRTEEN: BOMBSHELL Adam ended up sitting with his back up against the headboard, Mikeal cradled between his knees. Mikeal was recounting the events at his home in a cool, factual manner, his voice detached and disengaged. Adam hugged him tightly when he was done with the story, leaning forward to rest his chin on Mikeal’s shoulder. “That really sucks baby,” he said. Mikeal shook his head. “I don’t know what to think. I don’t know what to do.”

Good advice. I do love research though.

RIP

I think everyone was shocked Mikeal is being a bit of a drama queen and is not thinking clearly when he is trying to process everything. The lying is quite a problem, but I think his family is more in the wrong in this case. Much more to come in future chapters, thank you for the review.

Thanks Lisa! It was a shock for everyone, I think. A lot of your questions will be answered in upcoming chapters. (And no, he should not have found out that way). Shame on you Hyacinth! (I like your abbreviation of her name too!)

Thank you Cole. I'm glad Mikeal's reaction come across so well. Lots of emotions in the upcoming chapters too!

I like this strategy…this way you're never wrong

CHAPTER TWELVE: HAPPY HOLIDAY The rest of the semester, underscored by the looming promise of finals, passed too quickly for Mikeal’s liking. Most of it was a blur of studying, either in the library, cuddled up with Adam in his apartment, Julie’s dorm room or one of the many coffee shops in and around campus. Adam made a point to avoid talking about Mikeal's visit home for Christmas break. Mikeal had been unusually snappish, short tempered and moody the last few days and Adam was

Congratulations!!

Sasha, I would suggest that you PM an admin (Cia) or a member of the WST for nominations. Putting nominations in a forum thread makes it too easy for them to be overlooked.

CONGRATULATIONS K.C.

Thank you Timothy M. I'm glad you are liking it! (Hot sex included )

Thank you Lisa. I like the feeling of being fresh in love, when you want to see the other person all the time and even a few days apart makes you miss them like crazy. I think most parents feel the way Marigold does. I know my Mom hated leaving me at college. (I think she cried). Even now, when I go to visits, she tries to get me to stay as long as possible. And yeah, Hyacinth pretty much killed the plan to talk to his parents. Glad you enjoyed the chapter!

Thank you Carrie. The con you went to sounds fun, I miss those days. It does sound like something the boys would enjoy, I'll have to get them back into a con soon!

Thank you Cole Matthews. I'm glad that the feeling of Mikeal and Adam missing each other came across.

I made a playlist for the weather…I think Disparition is on there 3 times. Not my usual type of music, but I like the way it sounds, kind of haunting and soothing at the same time.

It's nice to see Shay and Mira back together again. This was an interesting chapter, seeing so much from Mira's perspective. (Especially the sexy time between Shay and Mira--very nice!!) Also interesting seeing that Mira is not infallible, stumbling over something as simple as a road sign that he could not read. (Shay should teach Mira how to read--I bet he would do well at it). I like that Mira soldiered on anyway and hope the he doesn't let this bring him down, the same way he did when La Tigresse escaped him back on Lucere. AND it seems like Mira has found a weapon that suits him…I wouldn't want to come across Mira with a katana in his hand Glad as I am to see our favorite duo reunited again, I am curious about what is happening elsewhere, with Yugan, Nyx, Elia and Konstantin. Looking forward to the next chapter!!

Chapter 11 is up. I am so far off schedule, that it is doubtful I will ever get back ON schedule, but I'll do my best.

CHAPTER ELEVEN: GIVING THANKS Mikeal almost floated through his classes the next day. Adam's confession, made in the magical early morning, kept circling inside his head. I think I'm falling in love with you. Mikeal liked the way that sounded. Falling. Because that's what he thought it felt like. A heady, scary, uncertain rush into something he couldn't predict or really understand, but wanted nonetheless. Adam and Mikeal filled the snat

Thank you for the review. It is ironic, the things that Mikeal and Adam are afraid of. I think part of it comes down to experience. Mikeal hasn't had a lot of experiences with relationships, and he is more open with his emotions because he's never been hurt. Adam has been in relationships and he knows what it feels like to be rejected, so he is more guarded. I agree, I am glad Mikeal finally got to hear it. I'm glad you are liking the story.

Thanks Lisa! Mikeal wants to tell his family, but there are complications up ahead. And no, Mikeal definitely heard and will remember Adam's confession. He certainly waited long enough to hear it

Adam has a good point. But yeah, they both have things they are scared of, but they are willing to face them for each other And they fought, but then they made up. Thanks for the review, I'm glad you are liking it.

Some days I SWEAR I would rather work for Station Management. How long do the interns usually last? I think I would AT LEAST make it a week, maybe two
