Must admit, family stuff kinda freaks me out a bit, but i think in this story it was a distant enough relationship to be borderline okay. Also cos there was emphasis on the "we are not cousins". I think it would have been just as good a story if it was like, michael was older and took care of gabriel (love that name) when he was young. So hes a bit freaked cos he still kinda thinks of gabe as young. But that would just be more conventional I guess. You obviously wanted to go a more sensitive way, so respect for that.

Bawhahahahaha! So THAT'S why Gabe is so super-protective/jealous over Michael. It kinda didn't come across in 'Better Late than Never' that Gabe was so much younger than Michael--or that they were related. *grins*

It wasn't the most complex or plot-driven of your works that I've read, but there's nothing wrong with a little fluff here and there! I liked it. Good backstory. I like Gabe a whole lot more now; he seems a whole lot less like a jealous, controlling boyfriend now. Very good.

Other than some minor grammatical errors and some sentences that didn't quite make sense, this was great! And hot! *Fans herself*

Keep it up!

^.^ very good. i liked it a lot.
