I'm Just Drawn That Way

Very nice story. It's pretty funny that everyone just sort of made the assumption and he finally decided to go with it. :D

So that was a pretty fantastic story. It was funny and...well I hate to say 'cute', because it always feels slightly condescending, but it was certainly witty. I loved how his family practically forced it on him, and it was ironic that, even if he had tried being straight, they essentially wouldn't have let him. Very different from the usual angstfest. So basically, very, very nice work. :D

This is a good one. I hate those girls for condemning him and not giving him a chance to experience what's it like to be with a girl, so he can thoroughly choose which gender is really his preference. But, as the story implies, it seems like he's more for a boy than for a girl.
But situations ike that aren't impossible to gays, I suppose. I actually knew a gay guy who used to be with men, but later on started having sex with women because he realized he liked it better with ** thatn with balls. And, I am not joking.
Anyway, I'm telling you I really like this short story.

I had no idea Iron Maiden was English. It seems all the bands i'm liking these days come from the UK. Kaiser Chiefs, Lily Allen, Lady Soveriegn, Block Party...anywho, your story

AWESOME! I love your style, even though the only description I remember of either of the boys being "tall, dark and gorgeous" I can visualize them both. I'll have to read more of your stuff tomorrow. It's 11:30 here in the states, and I still have math homework to do!

Guess who :)

You know what? You have a really, really good writing style. It's distictive (Quirky, too. Made me laugh :)). And even though as you know I'm usually wary of slash, I enjoyed this first chapter a lot. The way you write it makes it seem natural.

Well, if your story keeps going like this, I will definitely be walking alongside it.

I love this realistic take on BL ^_^

I love how he's overwhelmed by the support his family has given him and he's left wondering whether he is really gay or not. It's very different from the usual stories where they all get disowned/outcasted.

Hopefully there might be more on them?

Probably one of the most original stories I've read here in a while.

The writing style was a little confusing to read, but I can easily see how it might be intentiona and besides that, I like it so far. Keep up the good work!

"To do this day he's still not quite sure if he's gay because he's made a conscious and valid life decision."
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou for using the term 'decision' in that sentence.
"That's what their reaction will be, rather disbelieving that he could show any interest in a girl, believing that he's sinking into denial, backing into a closet that he was never in."
This is quite funny, wrongly enough. XD
"She dived right back in, and he almost shrieked with shock because her tongue was pushing at his lips, and dammit couldn't he be dominant in any relationship?"
That also amuses me more than it should...

Great Chapter. I think that it's realistic and expresses what happens in the normal gay mind. (Mine)

Luff! Very cute and accurate. And of course, the ever-great literary tool of not using the character's name. I liked this a lot.
