Mikeal has his priorities right - get an education, love his boyfriend, spend time with his other friends, especially Julie, repair his relationship with his family, live his life happily. He has control over his life now, and that's what matters, not whether he knows more or less about his biological parents.
It would be nice to have a few peeks into their lives at some point, perhaps a prompt or two ?
Perfect summary of the essentials.
I also liked how the balance of their relationship gets better, with Adam also becoming part of Mikeal's world and family traditions, and of course the way they switched roles in bed. They're definitely perfect for each other, even Hyacinth thinks so.
Mikeal would have fallen apart completely without Adam, although I think Lily would have helped if Mikeal had been at home with nowhere to go. I'm so glad Mikeal told his mother off and stormed out. Perhaps he was being a bit dramatic, but I have the feeling it's the only way to make her face up to her mistakes. He's better off not depending on her, the way she wants him to, and he can still have a good relationship with his dad and simply be cool and respectful to his mother if she doesn't change her attitude.
That was exactly how I felt about this chapter. Adam keeps Mikeal grounded and his parents should appreciate their son having found such an awesome boyfriend, who even tries to help Mikeal see their actions in a better way. Oh they still have a lot to make up to him, but they can start by being accepting of the man he loves.
I still get all glowing with pride at Mikeal standing up to his dad and putting his own well-being before the selfish wishes of his mother. If not for Adam he wouldn't have been able to do this, not to mention not having had anywhere to go when the sh*t hit the fan. His parents have to live with the fact they hurt him by their dishonesty.
Well, I'm not blaming Hy for refusing to lie or perpetuate the deception, but she should probably have told Mikeal to ask his parents about this. Going to Adam was a great decision since he managed not to crash on the way.
They're definitely in love and the hot sex is wonderful icing on the cake. But I still think Mikeal should have come out to his father in the car. He could have done it when they stopped for lunch, and if his dad freaked out, Mikeal could have stayed at the cafe and asked Adam to pick him up.
I like Adam for not giving up but still being gentle in trying to find out what is bothering Mikeal. And I can certainly understand Mikeal only wanting to come out to his parents if he has a long-term boyfriend.
Uhm, you know you can edit comments, right ? And you don't have to quote a comment to reply to it, since it's usually quite obvious what you're answering. And you can always @mention if you want @BlindAmbition to definitely notice your answer.
But if you insist on having the quote and forget to do it at first, simply quote, grab the quote by the upper left corner, do CTRL X, press the edit button on the reply and CTRL V to add the quote.

Interesting that Adam and Mikeal's gut feelings about Josh were correct. I predict Julie will feel vulnerable for quite a while, so I'm proud of Mikeal for offering his unlimited support. Adam will have to deal, and luckily he seems quite aware of his own feelings and how to act sensibly. Not like his boyfriend at times,
It's a little strange how most of your replies to Blind are doubles.
Anyway, I'm definitely with Adam here. Mikeal gets upset about being treated as an immature boy, but that's what he is. He's lucky Adam is so honest and caring, someone cynical could have broken his heart by throwing the L word back and taking advantage. They haven't even used the word boyfriends yet.
A little alcohol can loosen your inhibitions, but I'm glad Adam did his best to treat Mikeal right. Even if they had been on their own, he wouldn't have taken advantage.
Ugh, that was so embarrassing in the café and Adam was being very patient. On the other hand I can completely understand Mikeal worrying about his heart more than the physical side of things. Geek smut
Well, everything has been said, including Julie being a good friend - better than when she abandoned Mikeal at the corset booth. But he might not have met Adam otherwise. Adam certainly seems interested, and he probable need to take thee initiative to get this started and catch the shy guy.
Being drawn back to one of my favorite stories, I can see I never managed to comment on this first chapter. It's funny how it's just as intriguing when you know the rest of the story.
YAY, I knew it - of course the human Jany loves is a mate.
I'm surprised Jany miscalculated so much in his approach to Victor. Or is the older vamp just playing insulted in order to hurt Jany? There must be bad blood between them.
Circumnavigation was epic but I wonder how all the pictures in the chapters work after the update. They were a major part of the story and made it easier to visualize the journey. My favorite part was
Good catch, Vicki. Sorry Gary, as your editor I should have noticed Did you already fix it, Gary ? Right now it looks like Kendall got to ride with the ambulance and that's why someone else took Ace's car home. But then, how did Kendall get hold of his truck? Hmm, I'll have to check the next chapter too.
