Oh, dear. I've got so much pity for Dmitri now. He's quite adorable, the way he feels about Yermo and how sadly deluded he was. Silly Yermo. I want to smack Sean for instilling that horrid idea in Yermo's head that he isn't the type of guy people stay in love with. He's given Yermo this crazy complex...

I have to say that I'm more interested in Yermo's story than Kenny's. Kenny's, for some inexplicable reason, coming off a bit whiny to me as of late. Then again, he's just gotten dumped in the more terrible way by his supposed prince...poor boys, wallowing in their coffee.

...I'm terrible for being pleased that their relationships failed, aren't I? Then again, I am in the mood for a bit of strife, and Yermo and Kenny are just 3 together.

Plus! I just love how this brings Yermo and Kenny closer together. And that heart...THAT HEART.

...I'm very tired and incoherent. Pretend this made sense. I love this story so much. The subtlety...ah. Love it.

I actually feel sad, lol, because I really liked Yermo and Dmitri together, and even though I thought it was going to happen I didn't want it too, lol. And the way Dmitri really had no idea that it wasn't going to work because everything was, hands down, perfect. Uh, my heart!

And poor Kenny! Wow, Justin, just wow. On his birthday? HIS BIRTHDAY? I really liked the way we saw the two events happening even though I feel bad for Kenny and Dmitri.

I clearly need to check your profile more often, so I stop missing updates. I love these characters and I'm looking forward to seeing the results of this weekend!

[He had heard talked to her maybe three times, never deeply, and other than that . . .]

I don't think the 'heard' is necessary there.

[You're the greatest, you really are, but at the core you just do not have what it takes to maintain someone's romantic interest. Go with it. Be the one serene guy in the world while the rest of us bang our heads against the wall of love. You'll be our rock."]

Who tells someone that? Wow. Douchebag.

That actually my heart for him. Like, wow.

Oh my goodness, poor Yermo. This makes the fact that he sort of just found himself in a relationship and hasn't really done anything about Kenny so much clearer. Although, he still has the ability to decide to work for something, and not just believe that that jerk was right.

Their 'princes' used to date huh? And I'm getting nervous for Yermo and Dmitri because they seem to be on totally different pages and after that thing about Yermo's ex, I doubt they'll be able to wind up on the same page.

And Kenny was surprisingly insight with that he doesn't think he's above it comment, even if he dismisses it.

You know, I quite like Dmitri. The description of how he saw Yermo was so sweet. I'm quite taken with him, although I'm sure he's just more than likely being pressured by his dear old mum. Unfortunately, Yermo obviously isn't ready for that kind of commitment. and Justin, ugh, what on earth is he doing back with his ex...

This is fantastically ominous!

I just love the way this story is going right now. The characters feel realistic and I like that they've coupled up with other people but it doesn't feel awkward.

Especially the way Yermo sort of just ended up in a relationship even though he wasn't looking for it, lol, and the fact that his one night stand ended great but he still went home sad because he got to see something he doesn't think he'll get.

Kenny needs to stop meddling. That's a slippery slope, especially since Yermo did find himself a boyfriend, sort of, maybe, lol. Which I think is going to cause problems because Kenny does seem to have some possessive tendencies even if he can ignore them for a bit.

This is actually really interesting. I'm going to go back and read from the beginning.

I'm baffled why more people haven't reviewed for this. It's got a charming tone to it, an interesting, almost lazy and sun-filled style of writing-I quite like it. I also wonder what will come of Yermo and this new "prince". :3

ok now i see why justin doesn't like them together! yermo only think about kenny! and compare evryone else with kenny! ohhh

but i like dmitri:P

i think he'll be kind of good for him...

ohh i like everyone

good chapie :P

i wonder what kenny will think of this :P

How is it even though your characters handle things in a mature and adult manner I always have this feeling of 'oh man... drama!' hahah, but when it doesn't come I'm still happy, happier even, with the outcome.

And I don't know if I've said it but I love LOVE the way you manage to slip in comparisons from both Kenny and Yermo about each other and dudes they're hooking up with but it doesn't seem like comparisons or as if they're thinking about them so it's believable that they haven't realised that they like each other yet.

Great way to introduce that bit about Yermo's name. I thought you just made it up because you liked out there names, LOL. I really like that it shows his ethnicity without it being in your face and I adore Yermo. I like that he seems shy/indecisive but it's just because he's really pretty laissez-faire about everything and he's a total sweetheart.

I have a feeling it's going to get him into trouble but for now I'm just interested to see how this all turns out.

maybe justin isn't telling the truth... and he is a cheater! oh god...

and yermo is so damn sweet! don't know how kennny doesn't see it..

-M

I knew this chapter was going too smoothly for comfort, lol. I hope he at least tries to talk it out with Kenny before it gets too out of hand although I think that it might have already.

I really like the way you showcased the fact that he was still into his ex with the comparisons all of the time. I do hope that he doesn't try to mess up Yermo's friendship with Kenny though.

Great chapter.

I'm really liking this universe you've created! It seems so realistic even if it's not in a real place.

Kenny seems like a nice guy. Was he the one who dumped Skip because Skip was homeless, or was that another guy whose name started with K?

I really like Yermo too, although I wish I could see more into his head sometimes. His past relationship must have really screwed him up, if that's why he's not committing to anything with Kenny!

Anyway, I hope you update this soon!
