Yeah, maybe, but I don't think many people even remember the story on Lit anymore. I'll probably just end up feeling like an idiot. 😅 But, as I've said before, I enjoy writing it for myself first, so we'll see what comes.

Hope you'll enjoy the additions then 😉 start with chapter 5, mark goes back home. I like it, I don't know why I didn't think about adding a scene with his family when I first wrote it.

😄 They were actually hard to make because with A.I they end up looking too different from one picture to the other and it's not what I have in mind but well, you get the picture, literally 😉

@ziggy maybe, maybe...

@ziggy No, you're not way off. But I'll let you read the rest. 😄 Glad you looked up the song and the lyrics and liked it. And yeah, Loïc's great. He's so adorable and talented, and so underrated, even in France. Probably because he's Belgian. He makes me think of Mark sometimes. (One thing that's a bit different about him though is that his voice never broke, so he can do amazing things with it.)

@ziggy 😄Really? I did leave a message on Literotica just to let readers following me know that I wrote new chapters but I didn't think anybody had actually seen it. Honestly that site is doing my head in because I wanted to update the existing chapters because I've added a few things to each of them (I mention it in the prologue), but editing chapters over there takes months. It's so fucking frustrating. Here on Gay Authors I can edit whenever I want, so I thought I'd post the new chapters here first and see what people think. I might update Literotica one day, but honestly I'm not even sure these chapters really belong there. It's not like I didn't write a sex scene in each of them, as always, but I don't think that's what they're really about anymore. There hasn't been much reaction though here, so thanks for taking the time to come over here and comment, that's really cool. Apart from a couple of readers, I don't really know what people think of the new chapters, but at the same time if they didn't like it, I think I'd rather not know 😆 at least, I've really enjoyed writing them. These characters have always been my little escape whenever I'm bored.

@FanLit Thank you! 👍 It was a fun and compelling chapter to write. I kept thinking that I was basically just writing about things I'd already written about, so I just tried to make sure it wasn't boring and was still fun to read. August 2021 might be difficult to write, and sometimes I seriously wonder if it's worth it. But if I feel like writing it for myself, then I will. I'm gonna be honest, I haven't even started yet. Since the beginning of the story, I've never been able to start a new chapter until the previous one was published. I think I need to let go of it before I can move on to the next one.

@VBlew Thanks for telling me you liked, it, you and @FanLit are the only one to tell me, so that's good because I'd probably have lost all my motivations to write more otherwise. To be honest, I almost didn't write this one, but I don't regret it now. I really enjoyed writing it for myself. and no, Rob going to L.A was way before when they broke up in 2017... even I had to check the date... because you know what, I had to make a timeline to keep up with my own characters because even I get lost sometimes 😆 if you wanna know all my secrets, here's my timeline, a bit simplified: June 2008: Mark and Robbie are 18 and U-N-I starts recording its first album in Dublin.

Wow, 39 chapters! 😂 I should probably just write one more and be done with it.

ROBBIE’S POINT OF VIEW – January 2026 Mark came up behind me, and I felt his arm slide slowly around my waist, his fingers brushing teasingly against my skin as I fixed drinks by the outdoor bar for a couple of our friends. I was barefoot and wearing nothing but a pair of navy speedos. “You forgot your cap by the pool,” he laughed, dropping it onto my head. A fan had thrown it onto the stage. Rainbow stripes across the front, ‘Sounds Gay, I'm In’ stitched above the brim.

I tried generating pictures for this chapter, I like it... from left to right: Mark, Amel, Hoshi, Mika

Or you can vote and leave a review, that'd be so cool 👍🏻😅☺️

@VBlew thank you for leaving a comment, always nice to get a positive reaction 👌🏻

Yeah, I originally wanted to start a new series for these chapters, but then I realised it'd probably be better to post them in the original story so people following it would actually get notified. Now I have no idea what the right thing to do is, so I ended up posting them in both. 😆
