I'm on a mission to recommend my favorite of your stories, and so I'm rereading to make my choice... damn, I only planned on skimming,but now I'm sucked back in again and can't stop reading LOL

Boy is Michael in trouble....lol I love it

Brian, Ted and Emmett know full well that even if it hadn't rained that they would have been bored because they wanted to be with their partners instead of Michael's version of fun.

I agree with Drew that putting some distance from Michael is a good thing he is behaving so childishly, what right does he have to decide who belongs together and who doesn't?

He got lucky with Ben who is not helping because he is allowing Michael to continue acting this way instead of making it seem like in some way Brian is at fault.

They aren't fourteen anymore trying to decide if they should go to the movies or the arcade, they are grown men with lives of their own and none of them need Michael's permission to love who they want.

I can't wait for Justin to knock Michael off his high and mighty pedestal, he is the one who changed after he and Ben got married not Brian, Brian would never live a stepford life but he would live his life with Justin by his side the way they want, now Michael wants Brian to live the exact life he hates?

Is Michael Stupid?

The girls are coming with the kids who will probably behave more mature than Michael could any day of the week.

I wonder if Michael is going to try for a dinner party to set up Brian with that Kevin guy and to embarrass Justin in front of everyone??

<In my Robin Leech voice> And so we continue the saga of "Dumbass Denial Stupid" starring Michael Chaprles Novotny in an uncoveted role. The whiny pain-in-the-ass sure is setting himself up to be friendless. First trying to guilt Brian, Ted and Em into doing what he wants them to do and then insulting 2 out of their 3 partners. WTG Asshole!

Justin's monologue cracked me up. If Eli for one second thought that Justin would want a reprisal of hanging out with another Ethan, he was sadly mistaken. I'm almost certain that Michael put the jerk up to saying that Justin could do a lot better than Brian. It sounds exactly like something the little twerp would do in his quest to get Justin to leave. Sadly for Eli or Elite Egotist (as I'll probably end up calling him), he was not informed of Justin aversion to pretentious idiots. If he had done his research, he would know that Justin grew up around them and found them lacking. Stepford Fag Wannabe indeed! 

I'm glad that Blake and Justin have developed a solid friendship. The both of them have a lot in common. Both are in love with intelligent brunets who compliment them in all areas. Plus the slight age difference between the two puts them on a better ground to understand the trials of dating older men who are in a sense 'fixers.' I look forward to watching their friendship bloom.

Can I just say that I LOVE Drew?!! He took the words right out of my mouth when he asked Em to limit his time with DDS. As an outsider, Drew, Justin and Blake have a unique perspective on the 'Original 4' dynamic. If Ben would open his eyes- or at the very least his mouth- he would realize that his husband is still a 14 year old trapped in a semi-grown man's body. 

Which brings me to Ben...WHY STAR WHY do you still have him with that candy-ass DDS? He's too intelligent to continue to be played by Mickey Mouse's human twin! Perhaps Ben should dump the dead weight and make a play for the bank...as in that President of the Bank, Kevin. Perhaps then HE can have an adult conversation too!

Tune in next time for the ongoing saga of Dumbass Denial Stupid. I'm Robin Leech trapped in Nichelle Wellesly's body and will see you next time! LOL

Happy Writing and HUGS,

~Nichelle

Oh boy.  I can't wait to see how Mikey pisses Justin off and Justin lets him have it.  This is going to be fun!
