Awesome chapter. I also had a lump in my throat at various points in the story. You capture the essence of Eddie and Matty in every scene. It's a sad day to lose your father. Now Matty will have to live his life not knowing what could have been. But, he is lucky that he is a part of a loving family with an adopted father that loves him dearly. As for Nathan, I was hoping that his interest in Eddie's and Matty's relationship would lead to him joining them in the bedroom at the hotel. Regardless which way Nathan swings, he's at that age to experiment and find out. Think about expanding your story line to focus on Nathan and his desire to be a part of the love that Eddie and Matty share together. The way you write about love and sex, I'm sure we would embrace Nathan's love for Matty and Eddie to include a physical relationship as well. Looking forward to the next chapter. Superb story.
