Thirdly

Yes! It's the absolute best. Great way to start off the day. Much love to you guys, ha ha.

He just couldn't resist playing with them and tossing Liam a little warning while he was at it. 'I'm right next door. If you're too rough with my brother, blue balls will be the least of your concerns.' But, he's just going walk back over to the living room and slip noise-cancellation headphones over his head to watch a movie on his laptop. Seth can do whatever he wants in his house. If he tells him 'no thanks to you, I got some' with a sated expression on his face Michael will just make a grossed-out face, shrug, and leave it at that. If he tells him 'Liam's of the mind to go slow despite my attempts to seduce him into more' then, it'd be instant respect for Liam. But, more than likely, it'll be somewhere in between because Seth wants his lovelife to be private to a degree. He'd tell his closest sibling about how he feels, but he wouldn't tell him how Liam feels or how he worships his butt.

Despite having said that he was serious, since it's his brother's house, he really doesn't care if they go at it. He just likes messing with them.

Well done! You've written him and their sibling interactions so well and realistically that it's a testament to your writing skill. A good majority of siblings are indeed as annoying and bratty as Michael...in this particular case, he is the youngest of the family, which means he got spoiled and fought over by the other family members. As the youngest, he readily helped everyone else since he had more flexibility to do so (not married or with kids yet). And he regularly infuses feelings of childishness and frustration into his other siblings because sometimes siblings just revert to little kids whenever they're in each others presence. No real scientific explanation for it...one sibling lets one rip and the other one calls them a toot-head, doesn't matter how old they are.

Yes, Michael's just playing with them. Beneath the initial moment of frustration, Seth likes the fact that Michael and Liam are getting along. Liam's just laughing throughout this, by the way.

Oh, I'm sure his older siblings thwacked him around whenever he went too far. But, no worries, Michael's teasing didn't deter them from their make out session. It was just a fun place to stop the chapter, ha ha.

Yes, unlike all the other characters in this story that have personalities that are a blend of 2 or more people, Michael is based off of only one person...a total brat, ha ha.

Seth froze up, as I've been realizing that a lot of abuse victims do when faced with their attackers. He was starting to get a hold of himself, though, but Liam beat him to the punch. I'm sure that Seth's "fight" instincts will kick in instead of his "flight" instincts if he's ever cornered by Kris alone like this again. Not sure if he would win the fight, but he would at least be fighting back. As for Michael's eyes, they are the type of hazel with grey in them instead of green (I was researching hazel eyes and their vast combinations are due to genes, ha ha). I tried to describe it, didn't mean to confuse you.

In a flurry of funny video clips, pictures, texts, and general babbling, my brother filled me in on his life since the last time I had seen him. It was amazing how much could happen in the span of a few months. Hell, it was amazing what could happen in just a few days. “…and that’s when Vivi told me to ‘forget about that twit’ and that we were officially best friends, though she had already considered me her best friend!” Michael concluded. “She’s really something. I’m glad to have found her

My classes started back up again, and they're very assignment-heavy. I also work part time, so my personal writing time has been cut drastically... In other words, the new chapter should be up soon!

-shuffles feet like a petulant kid- Alright, alright...it's not like it'd take anything away from him as a character if he stays straight. He's still awesome.

Hang in there! I dated a redhead once, come to think of it. But, I'll stop that story there before we make this huge discussion thread on Timothy's chapter, ha ha ha.

Comments are the easiest way! I just ctrl + f (search) for my screen name and, if I find it, it's the last chap I read, ha ha.

Yeeeeaaaah, I'm still rooting for his being bisexual. But, maybe that's just my inner hopes. There aren't many people that will come out and say that they are, as it freaks out straight friends and gay interests don't want to touch you with a 'thirty nine and a half foot pole' (exaggeration quoted from Mr. Grinch song).

Ha ha ha! The same with just about everyone reading this story!

You are incredibly kind to stick up for all authors and for offering such support. As much as we deeply, deeply appreciate all that you've said and your thoughts, we also don't fault @Acid07's personal tastes in the slightest! He was just stating his thoughts at that moment in time and meant no offense. @Rambling Robin and I don't mind so long as comments aren't "attack with intent." @NoSkis, you have absolutely nothing to worry about in regards to us as HindertoyBL. Not even the most hateful comments in the world would stop us from ever writing with each other. As I've stated before, only emergency situations like child birth, certification exams, graduation, and big life events slow our writing progress down. But, nothing short of death will truly stop us. Writing is firmly ingrained into who we are, which is why we work together so well despite the moments we disagree. It's like we're a literary version of an old, married couple or something.

That makes both me and @Rambling Robin very happy! And yes, Fin's hissy fit was so much fun.

Yeah, I'm on like...chapter 56 about now. Gonna catch up soon.

Rob pulled out a chair and sat next to Ryan. “The point is no one gives a shit about Chris dropping out, but you’re important to our game.” - Rob, the master negotiator.

Whew...ok, I had to go through several chaps to figure out where I left off at. Chap 54! I'm nearly caught up! The thought makes me a little sad, but I think I still have some other stories of yours I have to read so...maybe not TOO sad. “Can I trust him to take good care of you?”- Such a good big brother. Rob's the best~ ::: “Well, you better be able to honor my promise about staying a virgin till after the Prom.” “What?!” Eric’s shout of outrage had Rob grinning like he was demented. “Yeah, Mom tried to opt for Senior Prom, but I think she knows that’s crap.” - Dying of laughter!

GMT -8 through GMT +5...that's a pretty big range. Might have to do some math. I'm glad Michael was well liked!

Yes, when it comes to Kris, it's like the fear's been ingrained in him and he has to fight through it before he can fight for himself. Thanks for the input on the time zone! I'm getting a general picture of GMT -3 through GMT +5 (unless GMT -2 and less/GMT +6 beyond are being ultra quiet at the moment).

I'm EST, too. And it will eventually be revealed, just what Michael did for his brother behind the scenes concerning Kris. The actor really can't afford to anger Michael again.

Glad you enjoyed it! As for Michael, he did quite a few things for his brother behind the scenes to scare Kris away. Seeing Seth with Liam rekindled Kris's obsession, but one look at Michael will remind him why he kept away in the first place.

-happy little squeal- Glad you liked reading about Mike, he's a handful at his age. The boys will definitely get frisky again, of course. They're only on "official date number 2" after all, ha ha.
