Well, that's true. Jonathan has all that ingrained politeness that made him stay and try to talk to Connor's group. Plus, he has his own insecurities regarding straight boys, not entirely addressed.
Well, certainly it may seem like it. Under the veil of so-called 'naturally curious' questions, Jonathan was asked uncomfortable things. How everything will play out is only a matter of time... and of course, the boys' ability to grow up.
Chapter Thirty-One – Green-eyed Monster
He didn’t expect the unpleasant feeling in his gut to go away as the days passed by, bringing him closer to the day when he was supposed to call his parents and announce that he would pay them a visit on Thanksgiving. That was no shock, really. The most appropriate course of action was to do it and be done with it. Still, something was keeping him from taking that step, and he kept postponing the call even after he purchased his plane ticket.
How
Well... I'm not going to give an answer, as I'm supposed to conceal my sleight of hand to the best of my abilities until the very end... However, I am more than happy to read about all the speculations you guys come up with!
Chapter Thirty – What You Don’t Know Makes You More Curious
Ray grinned all-knowingly and wiggled his eyebrows while Jonathan tried to focus on his textbooks. One could only do so much to ignore a curious roommate slash self-proclaimed BFF. Not that he had any qualms about that, and Ray was the first and only BFF he had ever had. On top of it all, he was very grateful to have a friend like that. Nonetheless, the unspoken questions that floated in the air made it a less than ideal environmen
I don't think that was corny at all, and yes, that was another way to point out at their differences, but also at their willingness to cross that distance and find middle-ground.
I was really thinking of how to portray how Jonathan came to learn how to cook, and this idea came to mind. Glad it was appreciated!
Hmm... as you know, I won't comment on that last bit. I like to read readers' reactions to various cues and other things I drop along. I also like to believe that I abide by Chekhov's pistol rule... if it appears in act one, it's going to get fired by the third...
They're in a stage of their relationship where they're still testing the waters... Of course, a lot of more knowing each other is needed for further explorations, but let's not forget that they live in the real world... and real world has a tendency to butt in and upset the course...
I thought so, too. Not much was revealed about the time Jonathan spent between running away from home and his coming to Sunny Hill, so I thought of shading some light!
It's a love story, after all, and HEA is my middle name So, rest assured, as much as I put everyone through a rollercoaster of emotions, at the end, everything ends well.
