that was nice :) and also that between Tom and Bill is so good and i think every time better :)

I am glad everything seems to work out for you.

I can imagine Bill laying in bed not being able to sleep over-thinking everything that happened that day. He didn't realize Tom was a possibility, and now they've had a 'date and a first kiss! Hopefully Tom will keep him focused on the present so Bill doesn't get too wrapped up in his own head.

Author's Response:

I can imagine that too. I like to make Bill just a tiny bit clueless and I like to make Tom sweeter then most people do. I think despite all his bragging in interiews and the rep he has he's probably just as sweet as Bill if not more so. I hope Tom will keep him occupied too. I would hate to see Bill fall into blackness.

I loooooooove riding horses (even though I've only done it twice) I like to think I'm a natural, I think it has to do with my bossy nature. Horses need a bit of bossing or they won't do anything you want them to. :) But nice bossing, with lots of petting when they do what you want. Aw, I need to go again soon~ I think the kissing was really sweet and seemed perfect after a day like that. :3

Author's Response:

I love riding too. It is the most amazing sense of freedom ever. Horses do need bossing and lovin in perfect combination. I am glad the kissing seemed approriate. Thanks for the review.

Oh gawd. Bill. On a horse *drool*

Tom's playful side was awesome.

Yes, I think the kissing was a little premature.

Insight into Tom is never a bad thing.

Its only natural for Bill to be worried, given the circumstances. He can't really tell Tom anything about himself, he could (for various reasons) have to up and leave ...yea, its a very sticky situation.

Fantastic chapter.

Author's Response:

I guess I can see how that woul be a drool worthy scene. It is kind of sexy to think about. I wanted to show that Tom really is a happy and good guy most of the time. I am sorry you feel them kissing is too early. I like uncovering Tom bit by bit just like I'm doing with Bill. They are both still mysteries to me. I wanted to show that while Bill is truly happy about Tom he still does feel bad for lying and not being able to tell Tom about his past. I am glad you liked it.

I love this story so much. I'm ready for some angst, but I know that you can't just suddenly drop a whole bunch of drama into a story. That's what I like about this; it's realistic and going at a good pace. I love Tom being playful and trying to get Bill out of his shell. Also, I don't think the kissing scene was too early because I feel like in real life, that's about when it happens. Good work, and I'm super excited for the next chapter! Wish Monday was tomorrow again...even though I hate Mondays...

Author's Response:

I am gla you love it. The angst will build as the story progresses but at the moment I am comfortable with it where it is. I am glad it is relaistis and at a good pace. I wanted to show that Tom really cares and is a good guy. I wanted him to playful and exburent. I wanted the kissing scene to be predictable but to feel real. The next chapter will be up Monday. I like to make Mondays more enjoyable and that's why I post on Monday.

Well, I think Tom was pretty obvious about his interest in Bill, and Bill completely missed it. And I kinda doubt Tom'll be as blatant again until he explodes from pent up frustrations...


Georg and Gustav were great. Hopefully Geo won't remain oblivious to Bill's quirk for long.

The panic scene was well timed and expected, but I wish it would've been a little more elaborately detailed.

Keep up the great work!

Author's Response:

I wanted Bill to be oblivous even though he too likes Tom. I thought it would be more interesting that way. You know the whole 'they both like each other but aren't sure of the other's feelings' thing. I love writing the G's they always flow so naturally for me. I think Geo is just the type of guy who is very physical so maybe he'll have a different sort of relationship with Bill. I didn't want to linger too long on the panic attack plus I've had a few and it's pretty much like I described it. You feel nasoues and everything is slightly hazy. Afterward you feel feverish and like you're swimming through wet cement. I didn't focus on the internal I wanted to focus on everyone else reaction. I am glad you like the story.

it's realllly hard to imagine bill in these clothes. it's off-putting xD

Author's Response:

Sorry but Cheyenne is a coservative town. Bill in his normal clothes would stick out a mile away. Everyone would know who he was and the killer would find him because it would be in the paper.

I like the open friendliness and playfulness of Georg to the new guy in town. I'm glad Tom introduced Bill to his friends. It further includes Bill in Tom's life and widens his circle of acquaintances/potential friends in his new home.
I liked the mentions of Bill's ongoing hygenic issues and panic attack. Maybe Tom will assume that Bill suffered some violence in LA and that is why he moved..?

Author's Response:

I wanted to show this group as welcoming and open just like Tom. I also Bill to have a firm foothold in this town. I wanted to show Bill was still the same nuerotic freak as he has been all along. I want to make the past as hazy for Tom as possible. Maybe that is cruel but I think it will lead to a better ending.

good that Bill went on that festival and act kinda like normal person but what happened after...i'm curious if he would tell something Tom, Lucy or someone why he freaked out.

Author's Response:

I wanted to  show he is a normal guy...some of the time. I don't know if he'll tell anyone, he is kind of secretive.  Thanks for the read and review.

I liked the info on Bill's past relationships, how they sucked, and how Bill didn't act like a dramatic break-up queen when they ended. He definitely needs to get with someone totally different from his past boyfriends (insert nice, friendly Tom here, hehe).

Author's Response:

I wanted to show in this story despite his flamboyant appearance that Bill was just a nice guy who was suffering from a run of bad luck, at least in his relationships. I agree with the totally different and nice friendly Tom. Still we shall see what happens. Thanks for the review.
