Hey Comsie first story or not it’s awesome! I honestly check daily waiting for new chapters. Since I wasn’t aware it was your first story I now see how as the boys matured as did the writing as the story progressed.This story captures a lot of things. Being in both boys shoes during my own teenage years, With Ryan, I have a similar dialogue lived in the chi, parents split, moved to central Illinois then back to the Chi and being the new kid once again also leaving behind someone who I couldn’t tell how I felt about them. On the Randy side you capture what it’s like to fear to have the self resolve to accept and be who you truly are. To try to manage your own emotions while giving every bit of yourself to the one you love.Dealing with your own demons, fears, insecurities, jealousy possessiveness, abuse and lack of self esteem as the relationship evolves.Unfortunately been there too.
I will agree that your ability to build characters is extremely well done across all of your stories I’ve read and take them from their early teen years and mature them as the story progresses. You have a great gift and thank you for sharing it with us.
ps please don’t make us wait 9 more months before the next installment 🙏❤️
