Oh God, what is wrong with Morgan!? What is wrong with Michael!? LOL, that's what I've been thinking the last few chapters. They're both being so ridiculous about things. First Michael was being a jerk and now Morgan's being one. Oh, these boys, lol. I hope they can get this sorted out, but the biggest problem really seems to be Michael's unwillingless to be open and honest with Morgan.
Author's Response:
Thank you so much.
lol, I suppose reading the last few chapters all at once must have been frustrating. They're surely going through a rough period and neither of them are so far willing to be honest and open.

Oh dear, I hope they can reconcile soon!
Author's Response:
It'll get better. :)

Oh Morgan, don't you dare be a dick again and make Michael cry! lol I actually *really* enjoyed this chapter. It's interesting how they're both quite opposite in their approach to relationships and sex, and I find it really rings true to life.
What I tend to see authors do is pair Michael up with a more agressive man like Morgan, and then make Michael just as fast and "easy" to keep up. I don't think that makes much sense. Michael would prefer to take things slowly and I can't imagine him giving in so fast, regardless of what the other guy wanted.
So I feel you've really captured the dynamic much more accurately, and I really love it so far. Mogan has to be patient and learn how a meaningful, loving relatioship is built and in time Michael will open up to him. This "fight" they had seemed necessary for Morgan to understand that he's not dealing with shallow club guys anymore. He's caught another flash of just how sensitve Michael really is, so perhaps now he'll respect it.
So yeah, I totally understand what you meant about Morgan and how he "experimented in college", as they say, lol.
Morgan inviting Michael to stay at the end was really sweet, and I also found their interations when Morgan takes off Mike's jacket to be adorable and spot on. I could really imagine that happening. Mike's jealousy at the beginning was also cute, and I had to laugh when Morgan insisted that he hadn't seen MJ's "thang" yet, lmao.
You're killin' me girl, I really love this story! It brightened my day to see your update and it did not disappoint. ^_^
Author's Response:
Thank you so much.
I truly appreciate the fact that you seem to understand where I'm going with this story. Their argument was indeed necessary in order to bring them closer together and for Morgan to understand Michael's pace and sensitivity. :)
I definitely cannot imagine Michael being 'easy' either so it comes only natural for me to make him quite the opposite. Everything else would
feel ... just wrong. :p
Feels lovely to know I could brighten your day. Hope you'll enjoy the new chapter. :)

I really loved this chapter, it was sooo cute! I must say that I was a bit surpised by Morgan's reaction when Michael rejected his advances, especially considering that he had never been attracted to a man before at all. I suppose he was just caught up in the moment though. I look forward to reading about his inner thoughts and feelings. ^_^
I also appreciate the added length to this chapter! :)
Author's Response:
Thank you.
Well Michael isn't really Morgan's first attraction to guys, I was thinking of a way to capture that in the story before.. but it will be explained in the new chapter.
Thanks once again. :)

Oooh, la la, the propect of Michael role playing as a girl and wearing a skirt, SO HOT! lol
Oh man, I know I've been MIA for a while, sorry about that! (feel free to throw a virtual brick at me :O ) I have been keeping up with your stories though, and the progression has been quite interesting. I was pleasantly surprised that Michael decided to propose like that, so sweet! It's also great that they aren't fighting - thank goodness Michael talked Morgan into coming with him on the trip.
But I must say that Michael bringing up roleplay is postively delicious, I'm looking forward to that immensely, lol. :) It's always been an intriguing thing to me actually, the idea of Michael dressing as a girl. I think it would have been so epic if he had done that for a music video! Sure, it would have caused a lot of controversy, but he would have been so beautiful and striking.
I actually got into a rather lengthy argument about that with fans before. *sigh* That's what I love about this little slash section of the MJ fan community. Fans are much more open and accepting here, you know? On boards, fans can be so quick to get defensive and heated over the slightest comment that doesn't mesh with their own, even though you've really said nothing disrespectful about Michael.
Here, you don't have to worry about that kind of reaction and it's great. It's like a safe zone from the bullcrap.
Author's Response:
Hey it's great to have you back. :) (now where's that brick... lol, jk!) Hopefully the next chapter will engage you, to a certain extent.
Wasn't he supposed to dress up as girl in the never recorded In the closet video with Madonna? Perhaps it was just a rumour, but I heard he thought about it but then declined cause it wouldn't have been 'good' for his career. Which of course is understandable, but it would have been so awesome.
And yes, I agree. This site are one of the most open minded pages I've come across and it's really refreshing. It's important for people to be open minded and not so darn closed hearted. It's impossible to give these open ideas to fans who are defensive about everything little thing that may not suit their idealistic perception of Michael. It's a little sad, really. Oh, a little lengthy respons here... lol. Thanks for your review and welcome back!

Oh, Morgan needs to stop being such a brat! Michael shouldn't have bought the house without telling him, but all he's trying to do is find a way they can be together as much as possible. I guess Morgan's dad has really done a number on him with all this prideful alpha male crap. He needs to get used to Michael spending money on him because I don't think he can help it, lol.
The way he spoke to MJ was horrible and he needs to find a way to properly apologize. Michael sometimes lets his emotions get the better of him as well, but he'd never be so harsh.
I'm really glad they talked in this chapter and I hope they will get to see each other soon. It's sweet that Morgan wishes he were there to take care of him while he's sick. Keep it up, you're doing great with this story! ^_^
Author's Response:
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you're into my story. :)
You're right, Morgan's never had to explain his bad manners or sudden tantrum's to anyone before, so he's not in a position to understand just how much he can hurt a person with words. All thanks to his father, of course. :p

Morgan is so dense to not know what's really bothering Michael, lol. I guess he's just used to flirting and doesn't realize it when he does it.
Author's Response:
Yea! Exactly Pyrefly. He's oblivious to the fact that his normal way of communicating with girls' bothering Michael,
as that's they way he's always been socializing with them.

Aw, what Morgan said about the bracelet was soooo sweet! Adorable, just adorable. I'm so glad they made up....for now, lol.
Author's Response:
Yea, it's very important to him. :)
Date: Sep 30, 2013 Title: Chapter 12: Chapter 12
Oh my gosh, I was totally on the verge of tears when Morgan turned down his request. Oh dear! Screw your pride, Morgan, Michael needs you!
I hate when Michael's feelings are hurt, but I love how well you can conjure up these feelings in such a vicseral way - this behavior all seems very typically Michael. Great job, as usual! Oh man, what's Michael gonna do? Oh my. *on edge of seat*
(and that Laura bish needs to step off, lol!)
Author's Response:
Thank you so much, that was such a lovely way of saying it. :)
lol, yea, she's kind of in your face, haha.
Date: Sep 26, 2013 Title: Chapter 11: Chapter 11
Morgan finally got what he wanted and now he's gonna want to do it all the time, lol! It's those young hormones raging. XD
Aww, I hope Morgan can help Michael feel beautiful. I'm so very interested in seeing more fluffiness between these two, they're just adorable together. ^_^ Now that they've both admitted their love for one another, they can be even more open and spontaneous. I know Morgan isn't always the most tactful, lol, but I hope he does something romantic for Michael, that would be sooo cute. XD
Anywho, I look forward to your update!
Author's Response:
Haha, 'young hormones raging' to say the least!
I'm glad you enjoyed my update, more to come shortly. :)

Love it, love it, love it!
That's all I really have to say about this chapter, lol! It was so well paced and full of well expressed emotion throughout. An angsty beginning that culminated into a sassy finish! XD
Course old Hank had to be a cockblocker, lol. I'm certainly looking forward to their dinner, things are are startin' to simmer, lol!
Author's Response:
Thank you so much!
Haha yea, Hank can surely be a real pain in the butt, lol. :)
So glad to hear you're lovin' it, :)

Dude, Morgan's dad is a huge dick! I bet he's an Elvis fan though, lol. It's kind of surprising that they're not more intirgued that it's Michael freeaking Jackson in their home, but they probably just have huge sticks up their butt, lol.
It's like that (supposedly true) Thriller era story about Mike trying to get a llama from a couple of rednecks, and they didn't even know who he was at first, and they treated him like a moron 'cause they were racist.
It's cute how Michael stood up for Morgan even though that dude was scary, lol. It's a shame because MJ's so sweet, a little naive, and he just wanted a taste of "normal" life. If Morgan's pops ever finds about their relationship, oh boy.
I hope Morgan can console him, and vice versa! XD
Author's Response:
Fortunately Morgan's dad's not a racist, he just doesn't have any respect for people who goes the slightest against him. (or people in general, lol) And, as Michael
couldn't hold in his words at dinner, Burt treated him just as such.
I figured that's why Morgan's having hard time understanding his emotions, never having a chance to deal with that at home or in the outside world.
Yea.. there might be some consolation, alright, :P I'm bursting with inspiration right now, I suppose that's a good thing. ;D

Another wonderful chapter, they are so cute together I could die! XD And wow, Michael would make him go into his tree, lol, only MJ.
Author's Response:
Haha, I know, right? ;D

Oh my, I suspected Jacque was getting a little too friendly, Mason better go rescue MJ, lol. I like the tension of the dialogue in this chapter, I'm eager to see what happens. I really like how Mason is a foil to Michael's character. He's so calm and cool whereas Michael is emotional.
Date: Jan 06, 2014 Title: Chapter 13: Chapter 13
AWWW! SO CUUUTE! XD He said "I wub you!" Tee hee, the whole scene was just so very sweet and fluffy. And Michael's mess, ha, oh boy. :3
Author's Response:
Thank you! Well you could never blame for not being open about his feelings, that's for sure. :)
