His ankle tag must have slipped off again!!

I just want to go awwwwwwww! That was such a sweet chapter. Hopefully just the beginning, or are we so far along that you could say we're in the middle now?

As Coach Hayes would probably say "If Ben is the answer, what the hell was the question?" 😆

Is it still a secret if everyone else already knows? 😁

Progress/Finally/At Last - I think we've covered most of the ways of saying it! I'll add another one - About Time! The rest of the team (and the coaches) already know so they won't be at all surprised if they ever get around to announcing anything - it'll be "And?" as a response from everyone else. I can't believe there are only 9 chapters left @andy cannon!

That's a good place to start! Before the fun starts!!!!

Great story Chris - Toby & Lee are very interesting characters. Hopefully you may find more to post about them in the future.

I absolutely love this story @andy cannon! Eventually (hopefully) Jackson will come to realise what Noah just has - that they are just made for each other (on the ice, as well as off it)!

Don't worry @kbois, I have my mop, bucket and disinfectant at the ready. The Korner will be pristine when you carry out your next inspection! @weinerdog just needs to behave himself!

A-ha, mystery solved about the missing chapter from Saturday (see my reply on page 3 to the very first post by @weinerdog on this page). @kbois family always comes first!

I'm always happy when the bait gets taken! And all that proves is that you can copy and paste and put it into italics!! You managed to beat @kbois and her alter ego @Mrsgnomie to posting first in the comments 😇 I'm also late on parade as I've only just finished reading the chapter from four days ago, and just noticed that yesterday's expected chapter has yet to appear - I expect I'll find out why when I read the rest of the comments. Hope everything is okay with @kbois?

I never watched Yellowstone when it was on TV but I'm looking forward to reading your story @Mark Ponyboy Peters.

Just what I was going to say! Definitely the same in all male sports changing rooms - certainly the ones I've encountered in my life.

The other guys could have told Jackson that it was Noah's locker he was using - but where would the fun be in that? Noah has reacted as expected but what will Jackson do in response?

I bet we can guess where he would find it!

As I love M/M sports stories I'm really looking forward to reading this story as it progresses. We already know (from the story intro paragraph) where it's going to go but reading about the journey of getting there is the best part.

You definitely need to watch the TV series and read the books. As usual with TV adaptations of already published books there is story contraction and some character trait changes. I watched the series first then read the books so it was a lot easier to spot what had been changed/omitted. Not saying those changes were wrong cos if you did a strict book to TV translation then the TV series would last for years rather than just the six episodes in series 1. Can't wait for series 2 next year.

@kbois have you not read any of his stories on here? He's in Australia, where all of his stories are set! @Mark Ponyboy Peters I'm not sure how she missed that!!

We wouldn't have you any other way!

Great idea @kbois! I hope you've sent those kids off to The Korner? I've only just read the chapter as I was tied up (no, not in that way @weinerdog or @chris191070 before you pass comment) doing some family stuff. While I wasn't too surprised that Troy had kissed Miles, I was absolutely stunned when Owen admitted he had met someone else (at work of all places) and that it was now time for them (him & Troy) to go their separate ways! Troy back to the ranch (to gather his thoughts and decide what happens next) and Owen back to his parents (before he takes up his new role as principal). Troy & Miles agreeing to step back from each other is a good thing but will they end up back together - especially when Miles finds out that Owen is no longer in the picture? How long will it take Troy to contact Miles and let him know his situation update? Will Miles want to restart where they left off after that kiss? No real cliffie in this chapter which means we might be in for a real doozy at the end of the next one. Just when is that next chapter due @chris191070? I haven't read any of the other comments past the one I've quoted, so I'll be doing that in a bit.

Now then @Mark Ponyboy Peters you appear to be taking a leaf out of the @kbois playbook with a monster of a cliffhanger (just which way will Levi choose - Brooke or Toby?). Though at least her cliffies are in story rather than right at the end of it! 😍 Also - where is Casey, have Jimmy & Dan taken that next step, and what about Jamie & Robbie? As always, I really enjoy reading your stories, even though I have never been to Oz, your descriptive prose means I can almost smell the sea that is but a stone's throw from Avalon (as one of the many smells that you describe). It sounds like we won't be visiting Thompsonville for a while, and even then it won't be the T'ville we have just left - just don't leave it too long!!! Pretty Please!! I'm intrigued as to where you will go with your next story - though I know already it will be a great read! Don't be a stranger on here. Mark xx

They could truthfully say they met at school - without mentioning which part of the building they were both visiting at the time (or what they were doing there)!

Don't think I could have done anything like that with my Dad/uncle(x2)/brother! But I am really enjoying reading this story @M. Harding - it certainly has an effect in all the right places!

Or @kbois will just add several hours to the posting time to keep him (and us) off guard!

@kbois great chapter (not a surprise about that though). Troy is going to get himself in some real sh1t with Owen - meeting up with Miles and not telling Owen about it is a huge mistake! Applying sunscreen to each other (more than once) is not entirely innocent either 😈 Although they've set a date for the wedding, I'm not 100% sure they'll actually get there 😢 Roll on Wednesday!
