Oh, I understand Brian’s anxiety so much – after what happened to me, I almost have a heart attack every time my younger brother starts shoveling food into his mouth and talks during it! Children.
It was so sweet when Gus innocently stated Brian and Justin remind him of his mommies because of how they interact and look at each other. It was an amazing moment! I think Gus probably helped a little to influence Justin and his decision about Brian’s offer.
I *loved* how he changed his mind!:) It was a fantastic moment, I loved how it made Brian so happy, and that he did everything he could to hear ‘yes’ from Justin.
Thank you for another great chapter and amazing ending, Kim! I can’t wait to see what’s next!
Author's Response: Hi, Katrin! Always a pleasure to read your thoughts, my friend. It is amazing how perceptive children can be; sometimes they can see the obvious when the adults can't.;) Thanks so much for all your comments, and for continuing to read!

Hi, Kim! I’m finally free to comment now. It’s so exciting to see two chapters I haven’t read yet!:)
I loved this, and the beginning was amazing – I always had a weakness for looking at Brian and Justin through someone else’s eyes. Especially when it’s someone who never believed Brian might be capable of such feelings.
Gus was adorable, I loved how he turned away right after the kiss and wiped his mouth :) It was hilarious! Brian must be so proud :)
Oh, the conversation between the boys worried me. I understand both of them – Justin does need his independence, but for Brian it’s surely upsetting – it was a big step to say that to his blond, and not to receive the desired reply is worrisome.
Aw, how wonderful of Brian to feel so protective of Justin!:) I *loved* how he immediately corrected Lindsay and Melanie and said Justin was an artist – it’s so obvious how proud he is.

Lovely chapter that shows the way these two feel about each other. I can understand Justin's reluctance to give up his freedom, but I don't think that Brian is really going to put any constraints on him, either.
Thanks for the fun weekend, Kim. We had a great time!

What a great chapter. I so enjoy more reason to dislike Mel and her nasty personality. I'm not going to fall for Lindsay's poor little me I don't have time to be an artist. I'm still thinking that if Justin just got a few good meals his blood sugar might level out enough for him to think straight and he'd realize that his destination in life is to be with Brian and he might just as well pack his bags and move to the loft.

Author's Response: Hi, Lori! You will be happy to know that Justin does get to eat in the next chapter - LOL! Although Gus manages to secure the majority of the pizza.;) I do think Lindsay could have been jealous of Justin's talent - and with good reason.

The play was adorable and so was Gus' reaction to being kissed. I have a feeling a picture of Gus done by Justin will be in the girls future. How cute of Brian and Justin to lift Gus off the ground. That's a very sweet picture.
Author's Response: Hi, my friend! Thank you for reading, and for commenting. I think Gus's reaction to his 'bride' would be pretty common for a young boy like him.;) It might have been interesting to see what a young Brian would have done.;) You may be right about your theory.;) I do think the girls will become more accustomed to Justin being in their son's future.

Hmmm...why is Justin getting cold feet all of a sudden? He has to know that Brian isn't trying to run his life. But we'll see how things develop.
Author's Response: Hi, Tamara! I don't think it's really cold feet; Justin very much wants to be with him, but I'm not sure if he's convinced he wants it 24/7. Hew is a proud man just like Brian. Obviously at some point Justin winds up at Britin - but whether it's permanently as a live-in partner/lover, or as a frequent guest, that remains to be seen (wouldn't want me to give it away now, would you?;))

What a sweet, funny chapter. The play was so funny, Gus is a doll, and the munchers are taken aback by the two guys. I love it when Brian can put something over on them--it's a little heady and I love it. Everyone here is good working hard and double shifts still, now and then. We lost a lot of our people and have new ones to train again-that is the hardest of our jobs right now. It seems when they are trained they take them somewhere else-a real pain in the butt. How are you doing girl? I see KMKM got their funding. Now Scott is trying to do the same with his project. Good for him, I hope he is successful in his quest. Do you know what Randy's next project is? take care. lol
Author's Response: Hi, Lindc! Not any smut in this one; more of a transition chapter, I guess.:) I do think it shows the two mothers, however, how close the two men are becoming, and they now have a better respect for Justin's abilities and intelligence, and they can see how much Gus cares for him, so hopefully that will clear the way toward acceptance of Justin's place in their lives. The next chapter will be moving the story time forward.
I am glad to hear everyone is well. Yes, I noticed about KMKM, and I did donate. Will probably do so for Scott, too, but after these and SGP, I may have to be more selective coming up. I think both Scott's and KMKM's campaigns overlapping probably hurt him a little, but he's such a nice guy that I hope he succeeds. And I would LOVE to see him, Gale, and Sharon acting together again. What fun that would be!
Please tell everyone I said hello and send my love. And tell Lee if he's still interested, I have NOT forgotten his favorite story. It has been a very difficult year for me time wise due to a lot of issues, but it WILL be finished, and I AM working on the next update now. Thanks again, my friend. *Hugs* Kim

Hello, my friend!
Finally, the girls discover who really Justin are in life of Brian and Gus. I was imagining the shock of two seeing Brian and Justin holding hands.
I laughed a lot with the performance of Gus as the Beast and being kissed by Belle against their will. This is very typical of children this age. The boys hate girls and girls start dreaming about their enchanted princes. I loved it! Poor Gus!
I'm worried that the initial admiration of Lindsay on the talent and achievements of Justin from becoming jealous and she will somehow damage the relationship of boys.
I wish Justin knew how Brian is committed to it and how it is unprecedented in the life of Brian. I can understand that Justin needs to keep its individuality, but Brian open your heart to someone this way is something he just did to Justin.
Another great chapter in this delightful story.
A big hug, my dear friend!
Fátima.
Author's Response: Hi, Fatima! I thank you for reading this newest chapter, my friend. Do not worry; I COULD go off in that direction regarding Lindsay, but I did not want this story to go on indefinitely, since I have two WIPs that very much need my attention, so I will not let that happen. The boys will need to straighten out where their relationship is heading, but the next part will be advancing the story onward toward the conclusion.

Hello, dear Kim!
Finally, after a stressful week at work I read another amazing chapter of his wonderful story. I do not have time to enter the MW site this week, I could only do that today, for that reason I had not read and reviewed its history. I'm sorry, my friend!
About chapter, I loved that Brian fianalmente got to talk to Justin and make him realize that working in Kinnetik be much better for him than he had been doing in StrataG.
I find it very interesting when girls are presented to Justin a few years after the birth of Gus and Justin is already an adult and not a teenager that they almost adopt and defend against the big and bad Brian.
The dynamic is completely different. Justin is not the child that needs protection. He is someone who Brian is bringing to the lives of Gus and it bothers the munchers. And when Mel says what she thinks, she sees that Justin is not just a trick and as harmless as it may seem.
Gus is adorable as always and I love how you describe it in your story.
I hope the girls realize how Justin is important to Brian and Gus.
A big hug, my dear friend!
Fátima.
Author's Response: Hi, my friend! That was so funny - I just posted my next chapter when I saw a notice someone had left a review - LOL! Thank you for doing that. The women are about to learn more about Justin. In the next part, the story will progress more toward the conclusion coming up. Thank you again for the support.

There you go teasing me again with the promise of food. I'm afraid we'll miss the meal but a meat lovers pizza does sound tasty. I do love to see Brian acting insecure, he seems so human and easy to love. I wonder how long it will take before Justin moves into the loft full time.
Lori
Author's Response: Hi, Lori! What can I say? I'm obsessed with food, too, like Justin and Gus - LOL! As for Justin moving in full-time, that issue will at least be indirectly discussed in the next part, and it may not be quite to Brian's liking. But I feel it will be more realistic, though.:) The next will be posted very soon; it has been quite a busy week (nothing unusual there!).

Hi, Kim! I loved this amazing new chapter – finally Brian and Justin really talked. I loved how Justin still felt worried that Brian’s taking too much of his problems on himself, and how Brian made him see the new deal was mutually beneficial.
It was so good of Brian to ask Justin to join them! I love watching how their relationship grows, becomes more serious, more mature practically with every minute. Bringing Justin to meet with Melanie and Lindsay is a big step. Pity, though, that the girls weren’t on their best behavior. But Brian was so sweet and supporting, and still himself.
Thank you, Kim, I loved it, as always! Can’t wait for the next part!
Author's Response: Hi, Katrin! Thank you as always for reading and reviewing; I do appreciate that so much. I am glad you enjoyed this chapter, my friend. The girls, I think, will soon learn how deeply Brian feels for this young man who has inexplicably appeared with him at their son's play.

Well, the mash-up wasn't as bad as i feared. I guess I was right--hee hee!! Nice resolving tension chapter. I see Kiss Me Kil; Me go the money they needed--yea! I wonder when it's finished if it will be shown anywhere but off the beaten path places. I would like to see Randy's movie here all over instead of Spain where it is showing now. I guess the U.S, isn't ready for gay movies in the mainstream. They can show brutal beatings, people getting killed and horrible horrors movies but not the kind we like. We will see I guess. We are all good here, working hard as usual but well. Lee is second guessing marriage---AGAIN!!!-- don't know what is up with him. I suspect cold feet--time will tell. BB says hello. lol
Author's Response: Hi, Lindc! Yes, I donated to KMKM; the screenwriter insists that Gale will be in the movie throughout, so I'm guessing either he's the suspected killer, or he's the victim, and we see him through flashbacks. But the idea of his character with Van Hansis' character sounds scrumptious.;)
As for the story, yeah, I didn't think it was necessary to prolong the tension between B & J; I think Justin realizes what Brian did for him, even though he would have liked to have done it himself. The women will factor in more during the upcoming chapters, too, BTW.
Regarding "Such Good People," it IS still showing in places, but pretty much only at the LGBT film festivals. It's coming to my hometown weekend after next, so I'll have a chance to see it again on the big screen. I do have a digital download of it, though, but it's not quite the same. I suspect it will be available to the general public for download soon, but it was great seeing Randy up on the big screen. I wish "Field of Lost Shoes" would show in other venues as well, but they are horrible about answering questions about that. Every time I tweet a question about it, I get no response. Ugh.
Please tell Lee and Brian I said hello, and think about them often. Thank everyone for reading and for the support, too; I appreciate that so much. I'll have the next part up very soon as RL allows me to. *Hugs* ~Kim

Well Justin handled that much better than I thought he would. But who knows what might come next. I'm pretty sure Cynthia didn't just walk away without lingering just a few more moments to see what might be going on with her heart of stone hot as hell boss. I just hope they don't miss Gus and his school play. They better set an alarm or things might take over and make them forget time and other universal truths.

I utterly suck at reviewing. I have been reading as you've been posting, I just usually run out of time to review.
But I have time now, so here goes. (I can't remember the last chapter I reviewed, so I'll guess and do one big one now.) First, StrataG is a ridiculous name (sorry!) and Justin should be happy he never has to work for them and the miserable excuses for human beings who work there again. Second, I may have mentioned something about Palmer being a dick and trying to escape from the restaurant, but if I haven't, he's a dick and it was a dick move. But he really should have learnt by now he can't outsmart, or outrun, Brian.
Marcum being put in his place was great; indignant and pissed off Justin is always fun. Brian knowing the dean came as kind of a shock, but him orchestrating Justin interning at Kinnetik instead did not.
And regardless of how many times I read it, I always love when Lindsay and Mel meet Justin after Gus already has and Justin is kinda filling the boyfriend role in Brian's life. And Mel says something bad about Brian in front of Mel, Lindsay tries to calm the situation, but Justin gets mad on Brian's behalf. It may be predictable and overplayed (assuming you even go that route), but it still makes me smile each and every time.
Author's Response: Hi, Nikki - well, the name is actually a real name for a start-up company I read about, so they apparently thought it was a good one, anyway.;) I'm glad you liked the smackdown between Marcum and Justin, though; I couldn't see him reacting any other way in light of the man's homophobia. You will see more interaction coming up between the two women and Justin. Thanks for reading and reviewing, Nikki. *Hugs* ~Kim

I think you might get your wish coming up.;) The mothers will need to get to know Justin better, because he's about to be a very important part of Brian and Gus's lives.;) I'm so happy you're still enjoying this, my friend. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing; it is greatly appreciated. *Hugs* ~Kim

Very happy that Brian and Justin worked things out. Glad the boys found time for a HOT shower before the play. Great chapter. Still loving this story.
Author's Response: Hi, Lorie! Well, I decided that Justin wouldn't hold a grudge for long; how could he, considering what Brian did for him?;) I'm happy you enjoyed their shower.;)
Thanks so much for reading, and especially for commenting, Lorie! I deeply appreciate that. *Hugs* ~Kim

Author's Response: Hi, Tamara! Well, I have to find a way to bring you back.;) Don't worry; the girls will factor into the story some more.

What a fantastic story. I love the way you have written the relationship between Brian and Gus. Don't want it to end.
Author's Response: Aww...thank you so much! That means the world to me.;) I love to include Gus when I can (he shows up quite a bit in a lot of my stories), and he will be making an reappearance coming up in the next part, which I will post later today after I get home from work.

Hello, my friend!
Hoping to end the conversation and the reaction from Justin. I hope Justin realizes how much Brian cares about him and only want the best for Justin and that he has every opportunity to work your talent.
Justin is a smart man and he knows read Brian how to anybody. Also, I know you will not leave us that love your story continue to suffer both asssim <3
A big hug, my friend!

Great chapter, my friend.
Loved the way Justin faced his boss without losing your dignity and show how strong he is. This is having a backbone of truth!
Brian always thinking of Justin and ensuring that it has secured all the opportunities that life and his talent can offer you, it is very characteristic of Brian and makes him so loved by us all.
I'm only concerned with the reaction from Justin to find out what Brian did for him. What will our Sunshine will find it all?
A big hug, my friend!
Fátima.

Finally commenting on your story. Love how Justin can lean on Daphne and have their friendship.
A Brian determined is something really fascinating to be able to see. Unfortunately, he did not reach your objective. Palmer is a big coward! I hope Justin can just see the truth.

Brian is in sooo much trouble!! Although in this case I think maybe Justin needs to cut him some slack. It is Brians first foray into loving someone else. Look forward to the next chapter.
Author's Response: Hi, Deb! I'm so happy to see you reading this one.;) Thank you for the support, and for leaving feedback; I greatly appreciate that. Yes, Justin will (initially at least) be perturbed at Brian for not letting him handle it, but I suspect it may be short-lived (hint, hint). I'll have the next part up very soon.

Arrggg...I need more :) I perfectly understand Justin's reaction as he could feel that Brian is treating him like a child somehow, like he couldn't take care of himself. But seriously, how will he resist Brian when he will realize the real reason why the man acted the way he did? I can't wait to read your next chapter. Thank you Kim :)
Author's Response: Hi, dear friend! Finally able to sit down and answer my most recent reviews - seems some author sent me their next chapter, and I had to stop and beta it. Hmm...wonder who that was? (I know, I know - my decision!). Where was I? Oh, yeah - this story - ha! I think we will see that Justin's efforts to be independent and stubborn won't hold out too long against the force of nature known as Brian Kinney.;) I'll have the next part posted shortly.

Justin needs to feel as though he's controlling his own life, and this isn't helping. I can understand his irritation. But, Brian was just helping, I understand.

Author's Response: Hi, Mandi! Thanks for all the comments. This story I wrote reminds me of one of my favorite stories of yours in a way - "Chocolate Kisses." You write Gus very well.

Though Brian really should've asked first and if the Dean tried to take his grant from him,then Brian could've stepped in. Then again,Brian was always the type to do first and ask questions later lol.

Hi, Kim! Amazing chapter, as always! I loved how determined Justin was to confront his boss, to make him admit the real truth. Marcum seriously pissed me off – he is the one to talk! Justin doesn’t have backbone, really? What does having a backbone have to do with not wanting to be insulted behind your back? Justin was gracious and cold, I loved him in that episode.
I also loved how Brian dealt with everything! He cares about Justin so much, he organized everything so he could ensure Justin had a bright, promising future ahead. I can’t wait to see what Justin will say about it!
Thank you, I’m looking forward to the next chapter!
Author's Response: Hi, Katrin! Always a pleasure to hear from you. I am glad you enjoyed this installment. I think Brian's going to get some flack initially from Justin - mainly because he will be a little embarrassed that he couldn't handle it on his own - but I also think he will come to realize how much Brian did for him.;) I just posted the next part; I hope you continue to enjoy it.

Does Brian actually think Justin is just going to fall in line with all these new plans? It seems like Justin has a pretty strong backbone and I don't think he's going to just roll over like a puppy and follow Brian's new plan. I think should at least talk things over a decent meal without Gus around to ruin the chance of a sleep over date. I am also going to award Justin a big shinny gold star for his bravery in facing Marcum and stating his case in such a effective way.

Author's Response: H, Lori - glad you approve of Justin's handling of the big, bad, bigot.;) I thought it was important that he handle that particular person alone, without Brian's help.

Happy to see a strong Justin standing up for himself, very in character. Glad he's taking his talent elsewhere. As for Brian, every time he uses the Kinney charm on straight women it amuses me. Can't say I wouldn't swoon over it myself. Lol hopefully Justin won't queen out over Brian's interfering, I know he likes to earn opportunities on merit. But by now he should know that's exactly what Brian is about to offer, he does want his talent outside of the bedroom. Wonder whys he's calling Lindsay, perhaps scheduling a visit from his mini me. :)
Author's Response: Hi, Tina! Thank you for continuing to read and comment, my friend.;) I like to see a feisty Justin, too; he may continue to be feisty when he learns what Brian did.;)
As for Brian, I DO know Gale has that effect on women, so I suspect it would be the same for a real-live Brian Kinney, don't you? I wouldn't put it past him to use whatever ammunition he has to get his way. I can remember that one woman with the perfume ad (Invisible), and the looks she was giving him.:)

Hi Kim,
I'm so glad Justin went to confront his boss. I'm not sure how he is gonna feel with Brian, knowing he went to see the dean without warning him first he was going to report Marcum and to offer Kinnetic's services. I can't wait to find out!
Also, I want to thank you for your kind words about me as an author. It warms my heart more than I can say. Your help and kindness is so invaluable. Thank you so much :)
looking forward to the end of this great story!
big hugs my dear friend
Author's Response: Hi, my friend! The words were very indicative of how I feel; I respect you for forging your own way and making us think about the boys' relationship - and doing it in a very realistic, albeit painful way. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool B/J shipper, but that doesn't mean I'm not open to other possibilities. Glad to see, though, that they are slowly working their way back to each other in your story.;)
As for THIS story, I, too, suspect that Justin will have mixed feelings about what Brian did. But I also think Brian will manage to make Justin understand and he will come to be thankful for it - with a little help.;) Thanks for reading, and for your comments, my friend. *Hugs* ~Kim

Justin should have been working for Kinnetic from the beginning.
Author's Response: Hi, Lorie! I'm so happy you're enjoying this story; thank you for letting me know, and for taking the time to leave your thoughts.;) Well, Justin would have been better off if he had been working for Kinnetik from the start; but he really wasn't aware of it at the time, and that would have not made for much angst.;) Now they will have a different sort of angst; how will Justin react to what Brian did?

Author's Response: Hi, my friend. I believe you may be right about your suppositions.

Author's Response: Hi, my friend! Thank you for always being so supportive of my stories, and so many other authors on here; it is very appreciated. Not sure, either, how Justin will like that.

Reviewer: Anonymous (Anonymous) · Date: October 26, 2014 02:59 AM · On: Two Pieces of the Puzzle Come Together
Oh boy....Justin won't be happy,I don't think. Brian needs to learn when to interfer and when not to. In this case,he shouldn't have done so...at least not this early in that until AFTER Justin spoke with the Dean.
Regardless,Marcum deserved to lose whatever accounts Justin's art could've helped him to get...that homophobic asshole. >.<
Can't wait for the next chapter <3 (mrs_koki @LJ)
Author's Response: Hi, my friend! Thank you for your continuing support.;) Yes, the fact that Brian went to his friend may not go over too well with a certain blond, even though Brian was trying to be helpful.

So hopefully it's not too over the top. I don't think I'm certainly the most technical of reviewers, though. I put more of my heart and soul into my posts about them, I guess. But I do try to be as accurate as I can.
And you're right, BTW. I had at most 3 hrs' sleep Saturday night, and was on a total of five planes in two days. Ugh. I must have been out of my mind for sure!! I was soooo tired! But the costumes and set design were incredible, and Randy did a wonderfully wacky job as Amadeus. The theater people there blew me away with the signed posters, too. I was hoping to maybe get Randy's signature only on one or two of them. To have two copies signed by all the cast was far above and beyond anything I would have expected. And the house manager who let us go see a few minutes of the play at 4 was so gracious. So I don't regret doing it. I had a great time with my friend.
Sigh..But it has been a VERY busy week for me, starting with that trip. I had class grades due this week and two meetings at school in the evening, so that has left me with little time to update. Plus, I wound up slightly tweaking the story, so I have to do some minor revisions to it. Anyway, I am working on it now, and should have the next part up tomorrow.:)
As for Kiss Me, Kill Me - yes, I have contributed toward the Kickstarter. This one seems to need some more support than "Such Good People." I do hope it reaches its goal, although I admit all these fundraisers are starting to wear a little thin. Plus, it's the same time period as Scott's fundraiser, which is probably trying to draw from the same fan base, which isn't helping. I have heard, though, that Gale IS one of the two major characters, and will be featured throughout the movie, and I would LOVE to see him acting opposite Van Hansis. Yum. And I didn't realize Michelle is 44. Wow. I heard she and the father had been trying for two years. I'm very happy for her. She should be a great mom.
Please tell everyone thanks for bearing with me until I can update! It should be tomorrow some time. Sending my love back to everyone. *Hugs* ~Kim

Palmer is an idiot – really, what a coward! He acted like a child, hiding like that. But after his story I do feel sort of sympathetic. Everyone wants to be the best, to be valued… I *loved* how you described the ‘truth coming out’ moment – I was a little afraid that Justin still wouldn’t believe, that he’d think Brian somehow blackmailed Palmer and made him tell this. But it was impossible not to believe him – it was a fantastic moment, so intense! Justin’s reaction was great – everything I expected and hoped it to be. I was surprised that Brian forgave him like that – but then I probably should have expected it. Brian is very patient with Justin’s mistakes, he understands him, understands his enthusiasm and his desperate desire to prove him wrong, not to believe his words. He probably remembers how he was the same in Justin’s age – how he was holding onto his job. Same things here. I’m so happy they figured it out!
Brian’s reaction to news that Justin has to move out confused me, though. What is he planning?
Thanks, wonderful chapter!
Author's Response: Hi, Katrin! Thank you as always for reading, and for the comments.:) As for Brian's reaction, I suspect he feels if he immediately offered Justin help that Justin, being the proud person that he is, would refuse and even be offended by it. Deep down, he wants Brian's help and support, but he still wants to feel like he can make his own way. But you know that Brian won't be able to just stand still and do nothing.;)
I'll get the next part up very soon. I was out of town, and this week is a very busy one. But it won't be long now. Thank you again. *Hugs* ~Kim

Out of town, watching a play in Santa Barbara, perhaps? Hmm?
Nice chapter here. Brian knows about wanting something all right. And I don't mean just for business.
Keep 'em coming.
- Jackie Mag
Author's Response: Hi, my friend! Well.....you already know the answer to that question.:D I sent you an email, BTW. Randy was amazing as always.;) And you're right - I think while Justin's attending to some unfinished business with Marcum, Brian may be doing the same somewhere else.;) I'll have another part posted very soon. Thanks so much for all the support. *Hugs* ~Kim

Love when Brian hS to sweep in and protect Justin!! I'm hoping Brian asks Justin to work for him!! Glad you got to see Randy's new play. Loving this story Kim! Thanks
Author's Response: Hi, Ro - you're so kind to read and leave a comment; thank you for that. And thanks for having faith in me to bring them together; you know I'll leave them in a happier place by the time I'm done.;)
And yes, I'm glad I got to see Randy in his new play. But what a way to do it! I can't quite believe I did that in a weekend - ha! But he was amazing as usual, and the costumes & set were great. And the people at the theater were so hospitable. The house manager even let us go into the early show for a few minutes to see a little of it as a sneek peek.:)
I'll have an accounting of it up on my LJ soon. Thanks again for the support. *Hugs* ~Kim

Good Luck and let me know what happens....are you kidding me? That's how he lets him go? I think Justin needs to just keep right on walking. What kind of future can he think he's going to get with a man who doesn't feed him and then after forcing him to acknowledge facts that mean he'll have to quit school all he gets is a weak and wimpy Good Luck. Wait, I bet the desert that was served at the award banquet was unwashed fruit that contained some horrible brain eating parasite and Brian now has brain damage caused by tiny Peruvian brain worms the first sign is saying stupid things to people that you feel emotional close too. Followed next by smacking yourself for being such an idiot. I hope a cure can be found for this disease.
Lori
Author's Response: Hi, Lori - thank you for continuing to read and review. I hope the rest of it doesn't disappoint you. I think Brian is still feeling his way around his relationship with Justin, and is unsure how hard to push him, and he is still a bit afraid of revealing how deeply he cares about him. Brian always WAS more prone to action to reveal his emotions, rather than with words, so hopefully you will feel he's redeemed himself by the time this is done.
I'll have another part up soon.Thanks again for reading. ~Kim

Well I guess this will never turn into a beautiful love story, not even a talented author like you can save a mess like this. Brian keeps making so many mistakes and Justin doesn't seem to want to make an attempt to fall in love. I really feel sorry for poor little train loving Gus in all this, he's the one who really is going to suffer. He loves spending time with Justin and needs to have a man like Justin around to provide lifesaving skills when needed. They could have been the perfect little family. I'm starting to think that creepy Palmer guy has a twin brother named Ethan.

I'm getting worried, did Brian really make up all that stuff, is he really willing to do anything to get Justin to work for him. Maybe his blood sugar was too low and he was hearing voices that weren't really there. I think a nice bucket of fried chicken would fix a lot of things, better yet add a big bowl of mashed potatoes and gravy just to make sure. My mind is spinning over what Brian's idea might be.
Lori
Reviewer: BigPaw (Signed) · Date: October 21, 2014 05:04 AM · On: Rollercoaster of Emotions
What, Justin didn't get his pizza...Gus fell asleep right after the park so straight home to bed. I can only hope the award night did include a dried out chicken breast and some limp vegetables, maybe a scoop of runny scalloped potatoes and lets not forget a wilted bowl of mixed spring salad. Yum Yum. So now Brian has to rush all over town searching for Justin. Brian seems a little to worked up over this. I'm thinking he might have an alternative motive. I can't wait to see what happens next.

what's up with brian now? he chases palmer to his car and practically rips his arm off so justin learns the truth, yet now when he's able to truly be of help to him he lets him go. this little problem with justin's room and board at school is something within his power to fix. does he not want justin to work for him? can't he initiates sn internship at kinnetik? fix this brian.
Author's Response: Hi, my friend. I think Brian is torn somewhat. I think he cares a lot for Justin, and wants to help him. But in a way, he's perhaps afraid that Justin will see it as 'charity' and react negatively toward it. But if you hang in there, Brian will find a way to help him. I also think he's a little afraid of the intensity of his feelings for him, and is a little anxious about how it makes him feel. I'll have another part up soon. This week is student grades for me, and I've been out of town, so that has slowed me down a little. Thank you for reading, and for the comments. *Hugs* ~Kim

I knew that Justin would try to think rationally about the situation once he calmed down a bit. And I’m so glad Daphne helped him – she’s a great friend, Justin is lucky to have her. At least now he’ll give Brian the benefit of the doubt.
I *loved* how Brian set that bastard up! Now he’ll think twice before bad-mouthing someone, especially someone as valuable as Justin is to them. I was I little upset when Justin tried to walk away – really, he should understand Brian can’t be *that* bad in any case, even if he lied! I can’t wait to see how the truth will come out, and how Justin will react when he realizes Brian was telling the truth!
Thanks!
Author's Response: Hi, Katrin! Thank you as always for the feedback.;) I think the boys will finally be back on track (pardon the train pun - ha!) in the next chapter - after they find Palmer.

Hello Kim, dear!
A little disappointed that Justin did not believe Brian. The way you described your questions and conflicting feelings was very well done, my friend.
I believe that even Justin did not believe at the time, doubt was launched and soon Justin will realize the truth.
Now I'll chew my nails until the two resolve this situation.
I'm sad to see Brian's disappointment, but I believe that everything will be resolved soon.
A big hug, my friend.

Author's Response: Hi, Fatima! Sigh...I know. Justin should have listened more to Brian. But I think he's still a little gun shy about their relationship.

I love Brian’s reaction to Justin :) You always describe his thoughts, his feelings so good – I always feel like I’m looking at Justin with his eyes. It’s a wonderful feeling.
I enjoyed Justin’s enthusiasm, his ingenuousness – he was really happy for Brian, and so passionate about his own work… I had a bad feeling immediately – Justin’s too in love with it to believe Brian’s criticism. I’m so sad for both of them, I don’t even know who to support :( Of course Justin should have believed Brian. He really does have some serious groveling to do! But to me it seemed that even despite his words, he still took Brian’s confession to heart. He’ll think about it – and maybe he’ll go directly to Andrew (or what is that jerk’s name...) Justin is in love with Brian, but it’s true that they haven’t spent much time together, they’re still learning things about each other. Still, he should have trusted him. I hope he’ll realize it’s not like Brian at all to lie that way.
And Brian is so hurt now :( I loved how you described his mood the next morning – his anger, his pain, his disbelief. I wonder how he’ll forgive Justin and how Justin’ll come to his senses. After Kent’s words… I have no idea.
Thank you for another amazing chapter! I hope you’ll update soon!
Author's Response: Hi, Katrin, my friend! Thank you as always for your thoughtful comments. I agree with what you said; there are a lot of emotions running through this chapter. Justin is soon going to find out how wrong he was about Brian AND Winslow, so he will definitely have to mend fences with his lover. But you know I will get them straightened out soon (in a manner of speaking - LOL!). I'll have the next part up shortly. Today was my late father's birthday, so it's kind of been a rough day for the family. Thanks again for reading, and for your support, Katrin. It is very much appreciated. *Hugs* ~Kim

Hi Kim, I still am enjoying your story! It has just the right amount of angst, which usually means the boys will be reconciling. 😘 Who doesn't like that?
Author's Response: Hi, Jo! Thank for letting me know that.;) I, too, normally need a little angst to provide just a bit of drama.;) But as you know, I won't let the boys stay unhappy for long.
