All the flirting has Jasper on the edge of desperately wanting to be alone with Ryan and also a little confused about what exactly they are going to do when they are home. The logical idea is to nap, but there’s excitement and anticipation at the thought of complete privacy together. No matter how much Jasper wants to move the relationship forwards, Ryan kissing his ex has put a divot in the road. Jasper knows he can’t just forget that, even if his body wants him to. As soon as they get to

The sound of the building’s fire alarm pulls them from their peaceful sleep. “What the hell?” Jasper rubs his eyes and grabs his phone to check the time just as his door opens. Blake rubs his still half-closed eyes. “Jas, is Ryan with you?” he asks, his voice croaky. Ryan sits up in bed beside Jasper. Blake stares at them for a moment, then his attention drifts to the clothes on the floor. “Put your clothes on. Everyone in the building is being evacuated.” The door closes and the

It’s midday before Ace wakes up. He’s a little confused and disorientated at first, looking over at Taylor’s bed and seeing the strewn mess of sheets. It takes Ace a few moments to remember Taylor was ‘abducted’, then to remember what he’d done in the early hours of the morning. He’s almost wondering if he’d dreamed of meeting up with Leo in a bathroom, but a text on his phone sends his heart racing. Party at the frat tonight to celebrate the new pledges. Even desperate rejects are invited.

Their first celebrity party does not disappoint. The after party is in full swing even though the band arrive only an hour after they’d left the show. They walk into the venue, which Blake cynically describes as, “a rich person’s version of a college house party.” A well-decorated mansion with waiters wandering around with food platters or serving top shelf drinks. The authentic versions of celebrities are well on display. Awkward flirting and unexpected hook-ups are happening everywhere. T

The Teen Music Awards is exactly what the group needs after the rough week they’d had. It’s set to be a busy night, acting like the untouchable pop artists they are in the eyes of their fans, and keeping all the attention off their personal lives. Especially with the fan meeting scheduled after the show. At least they can unwind at the after party. They plan to talk with other bands and artists about their management and experiences, needing to learn how management works for everyone else,

The group huddles around Simon’s phone at the kitchen table, on loudspeaker to their lawyer. “I stopped recording before he threatened all of us, but I got his entire conversation with me about coming out. I’ll send it to you in a private email as he mentions the name of the guy from the photo. We don’t have evidence that he released the photo but I accuse him of it in the audio and he doesn’t deny it.” Jasper uploads the audio file as he speaks. “I’ll listen to this and get back to yo

It’d been a long night with their overnight ‘abductions’ of the new pledges to the frat and the subsequent party. The entire time Leo had spent hanging out with the newbies, he couldn’t stop thinking about what Ace might be up to. It’s difficult to get the thoughts out of his head, especially when he’s about to go to bed in the early hours of the morning. His eyes close and he pictures Ace laying on his bed, dildo in one hand, a fistful of sheets in the other. He's almost slipping into his

Jasper’s heart sinks as he scrolls past a blur of words to get to the photo halfway down the page. Taken with the full moon in just the right position behind them to show Jasper clear as day, kissing someone too dark to be recognizable. But definitely a silhouette of a man, Ryan. As though all his blood is draining from his body, Jasper goes cold and pale. Fear runs through him, forcing his breath to hitch and his chest to tighten. A pang of violation hits him next, sending panic through ev

“Hey you.” Ryan pulls Jasper aside with a gentle frown on his face when the group goes into their practice room. “Are you alright?” “Yeah, why wouldn’t I be?” Jasper glances around to make sure they are alone. “You’ve been avoiding me all weekend after we told Blake about us. He even asked me this morning if we broke up because it’s been that obvious, you’re uncomfortable around me. Might I remind you, it’s not your face Blake will use as a punching bag if he thinks something bad has h

After an exciting week working on dance routines with Ryan, a call from Daniel about progress with their case feels well timed. With control falling back in their hands finally, Jasper is feeling increasingly unstoppable. Especially when Daniel tells them the meaning for today’s visit. “Back pay?” Simon asks. “Everything owed to you since the release of your first album.” Daniel nods and opens up the folder. “He’s already sent signed cheques of what he owes you each.” The lawyer takes

Jasper slides his key into the lock at the front door of their apartment and tiptoes inside. With any luck, no one will even know he’d not come home last night. “Well, would you look at what the cat dragged in?” Blake’s smug voice echoes through the silent house. Caught by the one person who would ask and ask and ask until he got an answer. “Since when are you awake this early?” “I haven’t slept.” Blake leans back in the lounge chair with his coffee. “You weren’t home when I

Ace should have given Leo his number, but he’d asked for time to consider the suggestion, then spent the next week avoiding him. In his defense, Ace had still been working his way though his low. Whether his medications are starting to work, or the depression fog is just naturally lifting Ace has no idea, but he wakes up ready to finally deal with college on Friday morning, motivated by the frustration that he’d missed almost a full week of classes over something so pathetic. Unfortun

“This smells amazing, Miss Kurtis,” Jasper says. “Thank you for inviting me to join you. It’s been forever since I’ve had a home cooked meal. Where should I sit?” “Beside me.” Ryan pulls out a chair for Jasper. “Mom, Jasper might be around a bit more. We’re dating.” Ryan’s confident and casual announcement shocks Jasper. To come out is one thing, but to actually have a boyfriend? Terrifying. At least that’s how Jasper had built up the idea of dating a man. It’d became an enormous deal
-
Less than half an hour later, Jasper’s phone goes off. To his surprise, it’s Ryan. Afraid of a possible confrontation, but also afraid to let this relationship that has so much potential slip away, Jasper answers. “Ryan, are you and your mom alright?” “Yeah, can you come over, please?” Ryan’s tone has calmed since their last conversation, but it does not make Jasper any less anxious about whether he’s ruined the relationship before it even has a chance to become a relationship. Ja

Chris stares back at Jasper, a frown knitted across his face. “You haven’t looked at the contract since you signed it. What could you possibly be concerned about?” he asks, relaxing back in his seat and crossing his arms. “I went through it not that long ago, with a lawyer. So, I want to know what it’s going to take for you to sign our music back over to us?” Jasper leans forward with a slight smirk on his lips. Despite Chris’s confident smile, Jasper knows he’s got all the power. “I c

“Please welcome the guys from The Obsolete!” Everyone waves towards the camera with excited smiles. Most of the time, being in a band feels like just their job. But at these events, the thrill of being considered celebrities comes back, and they get to indulge in the experience. Jasper sits between Ryan and Blake, a little extra bubbly today. Since their meeting everyone has been siding with him more whenever it came to Chris. And no one, not even Simon, has told him to reign his attit

Things between Ace and Taylor haven’t been comfortable, so it was no surprise when Taylor said he was hoping to move into ‘the frat’. He’s disgusted in himself for how his behaviour has affected Taylor, who has only been able to speak to him through messages since he came back to their dorm. Taylor’s inability to say a single word out loud to Ace shows just how much Ace destroyed the one friendship offered to him. Leo’s frat isn’t the only one on campus, but according to Taylor, it’s the on

Relieved to be home, Jasper retreats to his bedroom after a shower. He lies on his bed looking over his contract file again while everyone else gets cleaned up. He figures he should let them at least relax before dropping this shit pile on them. After today’s experience, this conversation cannot be better timed. No one can deny their mistreatment after witnessing Ryan pushed to his absolute limit on the boat in conditions that anyone could have known would end in someone getting heatstroke.

Jasper strides into the apartment with a mischievous grin on his face, glad to find Ryan still awake in the lounge room. “So, I didn’t even bother with the manager.” He throws down a stack of folders onto the kitchen table with a satisfyingly dramatic splat. “I just snuck into his office and stole all our contracts. Took them to a lawyer, explained the situation to see if we could get out of them and press charges against him for the mistreatment and mismanagement of us as artists under his

“Just Chris, I swear,” Jasper says, taking his phone out to read the story himself. Allegations are surfacing regarding The Obsolete’s new member, Ryan Kurtis, after an incident on his first official day with the band. A source alleges that the use of drugs led to Mr. Kurtis “passing out” after his first interview. The company is yet to make a statement regarding what disciplinary actions will be taken to ensure the new member’s substance use doesn’t negatively impact on the rest of the ded

“Ry—” Jasper’s voice brings a swell of comfort as it weaves its way through the absence of a dream. “Ry, wake up—” It’s still dark outside the cold window he wakes up resting against. At first Ryan is confused, then he sees Jasper beside him. His gaze travels down Jasper’s arm, to the jacket on the seat between them. Jasper smiles and gives his covered hand a comforting squeeze. “You okay?” Ryan nods and looks back out the window. “Where are we?” “It’s a surprise.” Jasper rel

It was Ryan’s turn to take a week away from the apartment, and Jasper has not been coping well. He understands Ryan needs space. In fact, he’s not so sure he is ready to fully confront things, either. He’d gone from being afraid of what kissing Ryan means to him, to being afraid that it mightn’t mean the same to Ryan. Not a fan of feeling this kind of anticipation, Jasper is desperate to get some kind of clarity. Tonight, they have the honor of performing at a large event. A crowded, busy e

Beth made a post on her social media, announcing that her relationship had ended with Jasper because they were much better off as friends. She also claimed that Jasper didn’t kiss anyone else while they were together and suggested they had broken up a while ago and just hadn’t announced it. “Aren’t you lucky that even after you treated her like nothing, she defends you?” Blake asks. Jasper read Beth’s post half a dozen times, thinking the same thing. Beth could have easily outed him an

Back when I had this published I was told it's considered mature due to the language and mental health themes, but readers often associate that tag with sexual content. Ryan does state his orientation soon as Demisexual and much of the relationship develops slowly with a focus on the emotional intimacy over the physical so I tag it as Asexual to avoid disappointing people who enjoy smut and are waiting for it to become more explicit.

After a sleepless night, the last thing Jasper wants is to leave the safety of his room and face today. He’d not even wanted to come home last night, and managed to sneak back in only after everyone else had gone to bed. When he walks out of his room, Jasper keeps his head down and avoids everyone other than Blake, who has no issue walking into Jasper’s room while he’s getting dressed, just to ask him if he’s okay. Apparently, Ryan told everyone last night that Jasper hadn’t been on the roof, so
