  1. He-he... that would have been something! But no, Alexander and Brad never did such things. Ah, the old glasses... I'm happy someone wondered about them!
  2. Chapter Fifty-Eight – [Memory, Junior Year, October] – That Time When You Needed Me For the last two days, Alexander had skipped classes and communicated strictly via messages, as he appeared to be deaf to the sound of his own ringtone. Lyn didn’t like this one bit, while Brad dismissed it as being nothing and joking that His Majesty might just be trying to prove that he could skip classes and still keep his academic scholarship, no explanations given. In all honesty, Lyn was worried.
  3. He really hurt Lyn. And then Lyn hurt Alexander. And then he ran away.
  4. The comment section for this story has been amazing... I am flattered by the analysis done by the readers... and I'm glad others enjoy reading their thoughts.
  5. I believe so, yes, each of them has a fatal flaw. Lyn, as the main character, has his the most thoroughly explored.
  6. It was truly terrifying for Lyn to hear all that... you're right, that's an unspeakable injury. While writing the chapter, I wrote and re-wrote Brad's words several times and then came back to the same lines. In the end, I realized that I had to bite the bullet and make it as ugly as required to have Lyn's core shattered... are authors sadistic beings? I don't know. But I wanted to do the story justice, as much as that's in my power. Brad has remained a child in many ways. I hope that the ultimate revelations will make him more understandable, maybe even relatable to a degree. And Alexander... he can't defend himself, and Lyn runs away... Yes, that's why for eight years they didn't speak to each other. It was Brad who broke the silence!
  7. In this case, they will come out in the open - those things they hadn't talked about in the past. So stay tuned!
  8. Ah, I just mentioned that to @LeeSA! Yes, Alexander was so right about Lyn in that respect.
  9. Lyn's overthinking... that's part of what happened. He had so carefully rehearsed saying the words, obsessed even over them. You noticed well how the closer he gets to the moment itself, the more he can't follow a proper line of thinking. And inherent selfishness says it well. That's why he, as Alexander said, wasn't a good friend, but one who tried to be perfect. We're close to the end. I will set you free soon
  10. He was true to himself. His hamartia at play at its finest.
  11. Alexander was truly hurt by Lyn then. And it was @Cane23 who explained in a comment under a previous chapter - exceptionally well - where Alexander drew the line in his attraction to Lyn - he would never be the one to ask and beg to be chosen. Lyn's mistake... well, his mistake was not paying attention to his true feelings. But he and Brad couldn't have happened. Soon enough, Brad will actually explain why
  12. I wouldn't go that far... but Brad has a knack for learning things about people - like how he gleaned Lyn's address and knew where he lived.
  13. Brad is actually quite observant. Lyn's impression of him might have tricked you, but super-social people tend to know everything. And he was interested in Lyn - and Alexander. Even if he didn't know the whole truth, he knew enough. (And he was at Lyn's house when Lyn's dad's driver tried to push that check on him.)
  14. And all the causes have roots deeper and deeper in their own lives... In the end, I hope that everything will come together.
  15. So true. Maybe it's not so late for him to grow up. But the parallel... oh yes, they always come out of the woodwork
  16. Chapter Fifty-Seven – The Three of Us, We’ve Always Been So Misaligned Three AM, on the dot. Back home for barely two days, and his insomnia was back as well, and with a vengeance. Lyn swung his legs over the edge of the bed and let his soles touch the cool floor. A short sweep with one hand over the sheet on his side barely left any signs of his lying there for the last few hours. Not really sleeping, just dozing, on and off. The other side of the bed remained untouched. When he didn’
  17. I feel like this story is gaining a soundtrack of its own, thanks to the readers!
  18. You're right about that, Chris!
  19. He-he, penetrating comments... Thanks for the great music!
  20. So true! He wouldn't be himself otherwise!
  21. Theo needs more convincing...
  22. Vince did 'threaten' Theo with all that... let's see if the adventure they just embarked on allows much of that!
