    It was the third of July, two days from Shaun’s nineteenth birthday, and the night of Defaced’s big debut. It was ten am, Thursday morning, and Shaun was in the bathroom. He’d just climbed out of the shower and he stood over the sink, peering critically at himself in the mirror. Eli had taught Shaun to shave when he was fourteen. He hated doing it, but his facial hair had been so scraggly and unattractive that he’d gotten into the habit of taking it off every few days. It was one of th

    Jesse and Shaun made quick work of the dishes. Shaun washed and Jesse put everything away. The cabinets were neatly organized, and Jesse breezed through his task with little instruction. Everything was easy to find. When they were almost finished, Ruth came into the room. “Looks good, boys,” she said with a nod. Jesse beamed at her. “Thanks for dinner.” “It was no trouble for me,” Ruth chuckled as Shaun finished the last dish and handed it to Jesse. He dried it, put it up

    Shaun wouldn’t admit it, but he was nervous. He knew how to fight. He could protect himself physically, but he had no idea how to guard himself against personal attacks. He was so used to being kicked around and put down that the mere idea of exposing his heart and soul, his music, was unthinkable. This was a mistake… he didn’t care what Jesse thought…or Ben. This was going to be a horror show. They got to Ben’s house in a half hour. It wasn’t as far as Will’s house had been, and it w

    After school, Jesse found Shaun sitting on the curb with his legs stretched out in front of him. Everyone gave him a wide berth out of habit and a group of freshman girls skirted the sidewalk as they rushed past him for the buses. Jesse padded across the lawn. As he got closer, he realized Shaun was wearing headphones. The high-pitched whine of an electric guitar blared from his earbuds. Jesse tapped him on the shoulder. “Hey.” Shaun ripped his headset off and whirled around. H

    It was another forty minutes before Shaun dragged himself out of Jesse’s bed. Jesse sat up, a little pout on his face. “Where are you going?” “Bathroom.” Shaun snatched his clothes from the floor. He could feel Jesse’s eyes on him, looking him over like he was some sort of spectacle, and he piled his clothes in his arms and stuffed his feet in his shoes. ”I need my clothes back, by the way,” he murmured. “You have my boots.” “They’re in my bag downstairs.” Jesse plopped back on th

    When they came in the kitchen, Ruth had the oven open just a crack as she peeked inside. Jesse took a deep smell of the aromas in the room. “Wow, that smells amazing.” “Told you rabbit was good,” Shaun said with a smirk. Ruth glanced up at them both, then did a doubletake. “Shaun…” Her mouth turned down at the corners. “Where’s your shirt?” “In the garage.” Shaun scowled and crossed his arms over his bare chest. “Didn’t you see me carrying that buck? I got soaked in his blood

    Shaun took a long shower when he woke up. He’d showered before school yesterday, too, and spent a stupidly long time in the closet deciding what to wear. It was the reason he’d missed the bus and he’d felt incredibly foolish during the subsequent lecture from Ruth. But he hadn’t regretted it once he’d got to school. The effort had been noticed. Miss Stevens had been the only one to outright compliment his appearance, but more than one person had looked his way yesterday and it had been un

    Jesse ran as fast as his legs would carry him. He didn’t let himself stop, because if he did, he’d think about what had just happened. He reached the house in under a minute. The front door was open, and he slid inside and pressed himself flat against the door as his heart thudded in his chest. Tyler and Allison were on the couch. They turned and looked at him in surprise. “Jesse?” Monica called from the kitchen and Jesse peeled himself off the door and bolted for the stairs. He t

    Shaun watched as the bikers chased after Jesse and his idiot girlfriend. He’d noticed the two, leather-clad mongrels messing with Emily long before Jesse had. He’d hoped she’d join up with them and go have a gang bang, but apparently, she wanted Jesse more. Shaun wasn’t surprised. He understood the sentiment. He was worried. He jumped off the stage and peered out the nearest window. He’d beat some biker ass if they were bothering Jesse. An intervention wasn’t needed. Jesse and Emily dr

    Jesse couldn’t help himself. He was glad to see Shaun on the bus the next morning. “Hey,” he said pleasantly when Shaun stopped and stood over him in the aisle. Shaun pressed his lips together until they were white and bloodless. He screwed up his face with intense contemplation. He seemed to be having an intense mental debate. Jesse watched him, confused. What the hell was happening? The bus lurched forward and the spell was broken. Shaun tossed his bag into his customary se

    When Shaun got home, Ruth was up in arms. “Detention?” She yelled at the top of her considerable lungs. “Exploding things in science class?! You little delinquent!” He didn’t feel the need to defend himself. Even though, technically, he’d had no part in the mishap in chemistry, not once had it crossed Shaun’s mind to rat Jesse out. He just wasn’t the sort to fucking tattle. “It was an accident,” Shaun said. He forced his way around Ruth and made his way toward his room in the back

    When Jesse came home, the house was blissfully empty. Well, except for Sam, but he didn’t count. He was usually annoying, like he was currently, but Jesse was used to it. Besides, Sam’s whiny complaints were pretty funny today. He was super upset because those pretty little girls on the bus had followed him around the entire day, watching him. “You’re such a little kid,” Jesse laughed as he ruffled Sam’s hair. He remembered the days when all girls had cooties and females in general wer

    Shaun hit a freshman with his book bag on the way to his locker. The scrawny kid fell into his friend with an undignified squawk. It almost made Shaun feel better. Almost. “Stupid kid…” he muttered under his breath. He tried to tell himself he was talking about the freshman and about what a goddamn brat he was for getting in the way, but it was the new kid on the bus that came to mind. Jesse, or whatever his name was… He was an asshole. He’d started off all friendly and chatty, but the

    *I'm rebooting the series guys!* Shaun’s an outsider. He has a dark past and an even darker habit of cutting himself. The only thing he’s got going for him is his guitar and a head full of lyrics. When Jesse moves to town, bringing bright smiles and warm blue eyes into Shaun’s dark life, he insists they become friends. But that’s going to be a problem for Shaun because he's finding himself hopelessly attracted to Jesse’s undeniable charm. Being gay isn’t brutal and Shaun has an image to uphold if he’s ever got a shot at becoming the death metal God he knows he’s destined to become.

    For the first time ever, Jesse almost had a room to himself. The new house had four bedrooms. It was their house this time, so they could do whatever they wanted with it. They kept the bunk beds though, and as usual, Jesse got stuck with the top while Sam got the bottom. Already, the room was covered in half-emptied boxes, clothes, various personal items of both boys and discarded fast-food wrappers. Jesse hung over the edge of his bed so he could see the tiny screen on their TV.

    Maybe you should write your own story! lol 😜 that's how I got started anyway, changing details about a book or movie I'd just consumed.

    Connor carried the last backpack out to the van and stuck it in the back. They were going to Disneyland in a few short hours. It had been Julie's idea. She's bought all the tickets. But still, it was Connor who was up before dawn, packing the last minute necessities such as snacks, juice for the kids, water for the adults, sunscreen, and blankets, blankets, blankets. He pulled out the checklist M and the drone had made the night before and ran down the items, making sure he had everything.

    Connor sat on the very edge of the bed, as far from Liam as possible. The baby was sleeping still, and Connor hoped he wouldn't disturb him. He stared blankly at the TV. It was some stupid show Marcus had clicked on earlier. Connor was alone in the room. Marcus and Nathan had offered to pick up some baby supplies at the drug store down the road and Connor couldn't find a good reason to disagree He wished he was with them though. He wished he was doing anything besides sitting i

    Nathan held the duffle bag and Connor carried M on his back. The drone buzzed behind them. Connor took a deep breath and opened the garage door. It slid upwards, the gears grinding as they worked. He narrowed his eyes as he spotted the legs of the man in black, but Marcus pulled into the drive and coasted seamlessly into the empty garage port, cutting off the view of the yard. He parked the car and got out smoothly. "What's up? You guys look awfully prepared," Marcus laughed uneasily

    The very next day, Connor saw Greg standing across the street when he was taking the dog for his morning run. He was in the same grubby clothes from the night before and he had a terrible grin on his face. He brought his arm up and waved. Connor gave the old fucker the finger. "Cmon, Jack," he said, then he lead the dog through the neighbors back yard and they hurried across the patio and slipped through the back door at Julie's. He locked up immediately. "M!" he called, stridi

    M was still asleep when Connor woke the next morning. It wasn't exactly unusual, but Connor kind of wished he had a companion to dog-walk with. He used the alone-time to send Bradley an update on the drone. It sounded a lot less exciting than it had in Connor's head. He growled and put his phone away, choosing to concentrate on the run instead. When he got home, he ate, took a shower and then went upstairs in a towel to find something nice to put on. M was lazing around in bed

    It had been almost two whole days since M's experiment had started with the drone. Nothing had happened with it yet and M was becoming more and more depressed because of it. "Maybe the agent knew something about the orb I didn't," M had said on more than one occasion. "Maybe it's broken. Maybe I never will see mother again." Connor didn't know what to say to the blond. He gave him a big hug and supported him, emotionally, but he didn't know anything about alien technology. He couldn'
