“So, it looks inviting.” Ryan taps his fingers on the steering wheel. They’d been sitting out the front of Jasper’s parents’ house for twenty minutes already, but the sight of the front door he’d shut behind himself years ago has glued Jasper to his seat. “I’m so sorry. I know this isn’t fun.” Jasper sighs. “As I’ve said a hundred times already. We don’t know what they want until we go in there. It mightn’t be that bad.” “I very much doubt that.” “Yeah, you’ve said that

When Ace walks into the frat party that night, Leo is ready. He’s going to humiliate Ace, hopefully right to the edge of what Ace can take, then when he’s got Ace all to himself at the end of the night, he’s going to work out what’s going on, and what Ace needs someone to make him do. He’s hoping it’s to finally deal with Carter. He wants it for Ace, more than anything. He’s mostly given up the brief idea he had that he and Ace might have something. Leo doesn’t need Ace to choose him, he just ne

Only hours after agreeing to make a statement, Jasper is sitting beside Ryan in a media room at Henderson Records before a group of media reporters, clinging to all the patience he has within him and hoping the rest of the hour goes fast. “Do you have any comments to your fans regarding those intimate photos we saw recently of the two of you? Much of your fan base is teenagers or pre-teens that look up to you and displays like what we’ve seen from you aren’t very appropriate for their age.”

After a quick discussion at Jasper and Ryan’s apartment, Simon had called to arrange this meeting. Mark seemed eager to invite them straight over. It’d probably have been beneficial for the band to discuss it properly, but the consensus was that they’re all ready to get back into making music. So now they are once again, standing around in the air-conditioned hallway outside frosted glass doors, hoping they aren’t about to make another mistake with their careers. A young tan man in a crisp

Being ignored in the hallways wasn’t as easy to take as Leo thought. The week Ace had asked for feels like it’s taking an eternity, and he still has two more days to get through before he can ‘confront’ Ace. He hoped Ace would come to him, because the confused ramble before his goodbye sounded like another break-up on the way. He’s been holding onto the fact Ace stopped himself and asked for time to get back into a clearer headspace, instead of just saying what was on his mind then and there. Th

Jasper groans as his body, lethargic and stiff, refuses to budge. A hand rubs his shoulder and a soft kiss sends tingles down the back of his neck. “Take it slow. Your muscles might still feel a little numb.” Ryan’s soothing, calm tone brings Jasper out of his waking brain fog. Ryan gently helps Jasper roll from his side to his back. Jasper sighs as he lies flat on his back, glancing at the man beside him. His head throbs, stomach churns, throat and chest ache. Everything points to las

Leo opens his bedroom door, not feeling up to company, but craving it all the same. He and Ace hadn’t spoken the entire drive back to campus, neither did they acknowledge when they walked right past the dorms. Leo’s glad Ace is glued to his side, actually. He’s nowhere near ready to think about moving forward from Jordan and Bailey, but his deep concern for Ace tonight has been overwhelming. He had no idea how he’d get to sleep tonight not knowing if Ace is safe, and his bed being empty has been

The look of disappointment on Damien’s pretty face when Ryan isn’t the one approaching him obliterates the festering insecurity Jasper had been feeling all day. It doesn’t seem like Damien was really expecting Ryan to show up after all. “To what do I owe this pleasure?” Damien swishes his drink and pats the seat beside him. Jasper stands with his arms crossed, not falling for Damien’s phony politeness. “Cut the bullshit.” “Feeling threatened?” Damien’s cockiness is back annoyingly

Ryan was right. Moving in together after coming out and announcing their relationship publicly really was the best thing they could do. In the week after Jasper came out to the universe, and Ryan kissed him for all to see, the couple has been inseparable in their affectionate bubble. It’s been intense to the point of them seriously needing to leave the apartment and each other just to remind themselves there’s an entire world out there with other people in it. The two are becoming skilled at was

Everything is wrong. While a manic high felt like the incoming tidal wave, the manic low was the long drag out to sea. Ace can picture it himself. His body being pulled in a rip so powerful it’s impossible to fight. There’s no point resisting, and he’s too weak to even consider swimming back to shore. The wave is dragging him under, crushing him with its magnitude. It’s heavy on his chest, keeping him from taking a breath. And the wave builds and builds, as it draws him away. The world

Jules doesn’t stay much longer. The conversation moves to happier things as Ryan plans to come by the house tomorrow to pack and move his belongings. Jules is all smiles as they discuss him moving out at last, which makes Ryan so happy. Her clear adoration for Jasper is so heartwarming, Ryan’s heart is filled with relief. He doesn’t miss the occasional flashes of sadness in Jasper’s eyes, though. He’s glad when his mom says, “Darling, you look exhausted. I’ll leave you alone,” finishes her

“You’ve told him about me, haven’t you?” Jordan shoots Leo a look. In the ambush panic, Ace blurts out a quick, “I’m sorry.” Tears fill his eyes as he realizes how stupid he’s been. He thought Leo was moving on from him when he saw them together tonight, but Leo was never his. Jordan has been in the background of their arrangement the entire time and Ace hadn’t thought to ask. Jordan tilts his head, frowning at Ace like he’s oblivious to what he’s walked in on. “What are you sorry for?

The reflections of framed records behind a mahogany desk demand Jasper’s attention the moment he enters the spacious office. Opposite the desk is a wall covered with concert photos of various artists, the performers standing proudly by a black man in the artist’s merchandise with an equally proud grin on his face in each one. Jasper recognizes most of the artists for their music and the award shows and after parties they’ve attended. He’s trying to think of a single time he’s seen any of their n

Shock washes over Ryan, sending his heart rate through the roof and his mouth dry. “Whoa, what are you doing?” Jasper pulls a golden key from his pocket. “Ryan Kurtis, will you move in with me?” he grins, holding up the key. Ryan relaxes, placing a hand over his heart and taking a few deep breaths, relieved. “God, I thought you were proposing.” “Wow, I guess I won’t take the engagement ring from my other pocket then,” Jasper says in his usual sarcastic tone. “Oh, it’s just, i

“Are you good if I go sort that out?” Leo asks Jordan as he watches Ace sneak down the stairs to the basement. Jordan sighs, leaning his head against Leo’s shoulder. “He is gorgeous. A definite upgrade.” Leo kisses his forehead. “You know you can’t upgrade perfection, Jord. You’ve got nothing to be insecure about. Besides, I told you he’s back with Carter. I just want to see if he’s open to hearing you out, or if he’s in the denial stage. I’m not going to put you in the position to be

“You haven’t seen the photos?” “Uh?” Jasper doesn’t have time to answer Blake’s question before the security guard opens the bedroom door, almost walking in on Ryan, coming out of the bathroom, naked. The poor man is lucky he’s holding his towel and able to cover himself. “You stay right there. Don’t move.” Jasper walks into the bathroom and returns with a robe, then helps Ryan put it on to save his dignity. “Blake, can he get dressed in your room? Or are there cameras in yours, too?”

Adrenaline swirls wildly, descending through every single nerve in Jasper’s body. Excitement mixes with fear until he can’t tell one feeling from the other anymore. The darkness of the stage falls into the audience and appears to stretch infinitely as he stands frozen in disbelief at what he’s just done. What Ryan has just done. The piercing screams and cheers of the audience flood Jasper’s ears, distorting nightmarishly through his intensifying panic. Jasper’s legs are growing weak th

Jasper Reid is out, and the world knows he and Ryan are together. Surely the rumors will end, and everyone can mind their own business so the couple can have a normal relationship now, right? Apparently not. With their rising fame comes frustrating and tiring challenges. After a career opportunity tears the newly-public couple apart, Jasper and Ryan must learn to trust one another and work through their own pasts, fears, and doubts. Can the relationship survive the endless drama? Or will the problems they are both learning to leave behind ruin everything they are working towards?

The last thing Leo deserves is Ace’s silence, but after realizing things were getting too comfortable, Ace doesn’t know where things stand anymore. They weren’t meant to complicate their relationship by getting feelings involved, but Leo had made it very clear that he cares about Ace. Caring wasn’t part of the agreement. Ace didn’t go into this with the intention of having anything with Leo beyond the casual hook-ups. They’re supposed to be mutually using each other, nothing more. Yet Ace i

The morning of the final concert is upon them all before they know it, and a week worth of half-assed shows is finally about to be worth it. “You guys awake?” Simon knocks on the door a moment before opening it, no doubt wondering why of all days, Jasper isn’t the first one out of bed. Anticipation had made him an early riser throughout this nightmare tour. Ryan is on the bed, the sheets up to his arms and one leg bent, his phone in his hands. “Where’s Jasper?” Simon asks. Ry

“Excited for your mini tour?” Chris asks as he meets the boys in the hotel’s lobby. Jasper flashes a devious grin at Chris. “Oh, you don’t know the half of it.” “I’ve booked you all in a twin room. Jasper, just remember you’re sharing the room with the other guys, alright,” Chris warns as he passes Simon the room keys. Jasper frowns. “Yeah, and?” “Be mindful and appropriate,” Chris states. “What do you mean?” “You know what I mean. Just remember there are other peop

Leo has never liked hate before, but he’s becoming the epitome of ‘he’s only mean because he likes you’, and he’s not sure whether to feel good about that or not. If it wasn’t getting Ace so worked up in all the right ways, there’s no way in hell he’d be able to keep this up. He’s also finding, to his surprise, this isn’t just doing something for Ace. Sure, Ace is the one intended to benefit from his bullying, but the running commentary of snarky remarks in his head is fuelling Leo’s excitement

Jasper’s plan to come out during their last show creates a fresh buzz of energy in the band. Simon and Luke agreed to the idea without hesitation. It’d be a fitting end to their tumultuous management to simply use the stage as a platform to quit. But as Jasper was the one to bring this to their attention in the first place, and who’d gone through the most drama, it makes sense that he serve up some good old revenge in the process. Blake is, of course, thrilled by the idea. Maybe to the poin

During the days leading up to the mini tour, band tension hits an all-time high. Chris makes increasingly stupid decisions about their styles and overall performance plan. Because of the still circulating rumors of his sexuality, Jasper is under strict orders not to be affectionate or perform any kind of fan service with the other members. To show that Ryan isn’t needed in the band, Chris declares there will be no dancing. He focuses his song choices on the less popular ones, and apparently thin

“Nice hickey.” Leo says, though he’s a little jealous to see the mark on Ace’s neck. Given he’s walking over with Taylor, he’s wondering if there was something going on between the two when they were roommates. “Carter,” Ace says, covering the mark with his hand. It’s only then that Leo notices Ace isn’t blushing like he’d been earlier when Leo teased him over the dress, he’s teary eyed and seems more nervous than embarrassed. Anger bursts through Leo as he realizes that’s what the cha
