Hey, I really like this story! Haven't finished reading it yet, but I just wanted point out something. When Brian jerks Matt off (or blows him, as in this chapter), why doesn't Matt reciporcate? I just wondered if that was an oversight on your part (unlikely) or if there's some kind of reasoning behind the one-sidedness 'cause it just seems a bit unhealthy, what with Brian's past. In fact, it kind of struck me as Bri trying to keep Matt's favour by 'servicing' him. I'm not trying to tell you off or anything. I'm just curious...
Anyway, keep up the good work!

this story is beautiful and inspirational. please continue this. :)
excellent, excellent job.

Oh, intriguing chapter. ^_^ I wonder what happened with Matt's dad and Cody? And Ryan. :3

xD AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. X3 Yeah, you tell him, Brian! :D That will teach Kevin not to keep secrets while making Matt very happy! :3

...ahahaha.

D'aw.

"...whether it bee to rub the small blonde's back..."

You should change "bee" into "was" - it sounds a lot better.

"Brian would be thrilled for his brother, *But* it would also show..."

The word "but" shouldn't be capitalized. XP

*"Do you think sexuality is hereditary?" Matt suddenly asked seriously.*

Oh, I most DEFINITELY do not. It makes it sound like a disease- and NO ONE in my family (as far as anyone knows) has been anything but straight for the last 5 generations. In fact, they're downright disgusted by it and they all married the opposite gender and had kids. o__o

*Matt grasped Jason's hand for a second...*

Wait, what? o__o Why? xD

Anyway- good chapter! I'm still sort of surprised by relationship. xD I still recall their conversation before Jason and Kevin left. :D Sorry for all the babble. xP I've got a big mouth- especially over the internet.

"Matt wanted to hug the chill out of the small blonde to bring him back to the Brian *he knew the* over last few months."

I suggest changing the above to, "...the Brian he'd known over the last few months."

"He thought they were getting past Brian's inferiority complex. Was the small blonde just hiding *them* all of this time?"

Them? o__o He has more then one inferiority complex? :3 I think you mean "it."

"But do you still want to."

Umm, that period need to be a question mark. :D

Sorry for giving you a bunch of corrections, but, I'm neurotic and I do this for all the fics I read (unless they're completely littered with errors).

"She shrugged and started dancing with Chris, whose partner had to make an emergency trip *tom* the restroom."

You have a typo here- I think you meant "to" instead of "tom."

YEAH, STEVE GOT A SELF-CONCIOUS!! :D :D YEAH, YOU BASTARD, GO! Save the kid, you **! D: LOOK OUT FOR THE PSCYHO!

._. Oh lord, my brain. My brain was thinking gay things about Ryan and Brian. *head desk* No, brain, no! Wrong couple. ;__;

You're doing really good and you're cranking up the suspense really well.

OH. Those EVIL bastards! I think... do they know about how evil Gary is? o_o If not, then they probably have no idea that he'll probably end up dead. ...but it SOUNDS like they know. If they do know- how did they find out?

Geez, I sort of saw this coming. D: I think Matt should have offered to go to the prom with Brian as friends. ;__; Poor kid, it didn't even occur to Matt that Brian might want to go. D:

:D Hee! *beams and grins widely* How cute.

Is it horrible that I look forward to the next time Brian is bullied? You know, because I like the angst and the furious!Matt&Ryan.

What was with the football team though? How did they manage to get all of them so quickly and convince them to stand up for Brian? o__o Are they going to continue to look out for him in the future?

Okay, this is the last review until later today / afternoon. I need to go to bed, it's almost 5 AM. XD

Anyway, I really loved this chapter- and that was a really clever idea of getting money for Brian's career.

Yeah, recovery! It will definitely take a long, long time. For what Brian's going through, it took him a relatively short amount of time to trust a past bully. o__o I guess I can see why but I've been through similar experiences in my life and I STILL won't trust anyone (not on purpose, mind, I can't help it- I'm always distancing myself from people and telling them the worst things about me when I meet them.. to test them. =/)

Is it weird that I love love love reading fics about abuse when I've gone through such a horrible amount of it myself and everyone else I know who's been abused avoid it like the plague?

... I think I like the way the end- the hope they give me.

You're damned right- he does mean it, Brian! :D *grins widely* And AW, Ryan. *pets him and smiles* :D Mother-Hen Matt is permanently on the job, too. Hee! Good job.

WOW. That was a really thoughtful gift on Matt's part!! :D *grins* I wonder how he thought of the idea- and I'm still wondering how he got the money for all of this! :D

Ek, you hit another pet peeve of mine- unrealistic love. It is my firm belief that it is absolutely impossible to love someone after only knowing them (like Matt has) for three days. I believe it takes six months at the very *least* for someone to fall in love- and even then I'm highly skeptical. Why? Because you can't actually get to know someone in so short an amount of time (much less three days) and you can't love someone you don't know. Love at first sight = Lust at first sight. o__o

Although, it's definitely an interesting concept- that Matt was initially bullying Brain because he was subconsciously attracted to him. (That wouldn't equate to love, though, because he still didn't know him back then.) I could most definitely see that happening! :D
