His hands gentle over me, his lips on my neck are hot. His body enfolding mine is sure, solid, and he’s unafraid. I know, because he asks every time, despite knowing my answer. It’s the proper answer, but he’ll ask again eventually, even so.

We’re together whenever we can manage. Despite knowing better, I keep showing, and each morning we play the same parts until . . . now.

His fingers tighten, lips drawing away, and his voice is strained.

“Why?”

I pull away from him, his new question, and the parting cuts me, inside.

“For both our sakes.”

And I walk away.

There's more on the way, though it may take a bit before we find out what's come before, and what's about to happen for them. Stubborn, gorgeous boys, can't help but love'em. Thanks for reading! :)

[cocoajava.livejournal.com]

Like everyone else, I want to know more about what's going on with them!

So sad, so pretty!

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed, they will be more up a little later, thanks for reading! ;)

Gah! I don't even know who's saying which, but the thing is, look! See this? this is my lower lip sticking out!

Neat little mention of "him" being unafraid, which implies that the speaker *is* afraid. Oh dear.

[archet.livejournal.com]

Such a cute pout! *pinch* I was wondering if anyone would comment as to the vagueness of exactly who is saying what.

We'll see if our speaker is willing to move past his fears. I hope so! ;)

[helena-s-renn.livejournal.com]

*ouch!*
amazing job you did. just a few words that say it all.

[archet.livejournal.com]

Thank you! So pleased you liked this, thanks for reading! ;)

[rifleman-s.livejournal.com]

An intriguing start . . . but many questions . . .

Looking forward to the answers!

[archet.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed, I'm looking forward to the answers as well, ;)

I could not comment on the series before so I will do it now. I love the way the tone of this piece shifts from just being content and leisurely to abrupt confrontation and denial.

Which is also very cleverly reflected in the sentence length (long, leisurely at the beginning to curt and conflicted short passages at the end) and the syntax (the three dots to make the turning point more abrupt).

A very fine piece of work and I hope you will forgive the literary analysis :)

[archet.livejournal.com]

Oh, I appreciate this so much! Thank you for your wonderful, thoughtful feedback! It's always interesting to hear what someone else picked up on, I really don't plan my fics out in detail beforehand, and this series just happened from a sudden idea and just keeps expanding. I hadn't paid much attention to the sentence lengths, until you mentioned it.

Oddly, with each part the length doubles itself, so the fourth installment will probably prove the longest yet. Thank again for you lovely comments, and thank for reading! :)

Oh that had got to hurt. So sad.

[archet.livejournal.com]

Eee! Your icon is gorgeous! I don't recognize that pic of Sean. ;) Thanks for reading!

[msdavidwenham.livejournal.com]

I had gotten it from fraoch_icons site. I love that icon of Sean.
