I would love a PAN section after the chapter. It would be great to know some of what you were thinking when writing the chapter and possible "what's coming up". Good chapter. Can't wait for the next update. Hope it's soon!

I'm sorry this is kinda late, but I'm at my grandparents right now and there are four of us sharing a single dial-up connection with an equally slow computer. But on to the review!

That is really a very crappy way to end a chapter. Judging by Shawn's reaction, I'm guessing it has something to do with his father: either his birthday or the day of the accident. I'm leaning towards the accident. Granted, Shawn does have a habit of blowing things out of proportion, so it could just be a trip to the dentist for all I know. Speaking of blowing things out of proportion, he really needs to learn how to deal with his mother. Actually, he needs to learn how to deal with people in general. He's so stubborn and argumentative (this coming from a guy who has actually argued with a wall before) it's no wonder he has a limited number of friends. And then, after he worked so hard on Anthony, he just leaves him high and dry like that. He has no people skills (this coming from a guy with the people skills of a rock). But he does have Anthony, at least. And Anthony is nudging him in the right direction. Speaking of Anthony, I wonder what will happen between them on that day. Maybe something good (but not too fluffy)? Or will Shawn be a complete ass and spend the day alone?

And I would absolutely love some more post author's notes.

And I didn't really see the last few chapters as filler. They were more character focused.

Of coarse Shawn wouldnt be able to figure out what has him so down lol. Im dreading him coming home to. Great chapter, update soon please!!!!

It certainly is nice to finally see Anthony in such a good mood. And I see he's slowly opening up about about their relationship. He might not be shouting it from the rooftops, but at least he's spending time with Shawn. And I definitely think Keith at least suspects something is going on between Anthony and Shawn. I'm glad Shawn's finally going back home; he really needs to resolve his issues with his mother. Poor Anthony though. He really wanted to help Shawn (that or just have an excuse to spend more time with him). How can Shawn not see that? Is he really that dense? Your boyfriend wants to spend time with you! Say yes! Let him spend time with you! Honestly.

"To see Anthony cracking up and not me lying flat on my ass, papers flying everywhere, must’ve shocked and confused them. Well, good! It’s about time those fuckers see some genuine friendships!"

That line made me laugh. A lot.

And it's nice to see Anthony take some initiative in regards to their relationship. Again, it just shows his progress in acceptance. And when will Shawn learn to lighten up about his mother? I mean, honestly. He definitely needs to grow up in that regard. But I guess that's one of the points of the story, isn't it?

Wonderful update, as usual. Can't wait for more.

Holy crap! O__o Anthony, that fink! That...! *sigh* I can't even think of a good thing to call him. -__-;; But really, the least he could have done was tell Shawn about how long he had until his execution-I mean, when he had to go back home. But then again, only girls would think about things like that, so maybe he was being true to his gender. X3

And Keith... I'm starting to wonder about him. How much does he know, or guessed? No, that's not a question to him, just to myself. =3

At least Shawn had a bit of happiness that one day...

Nope, Shawn hasn't convinced me yet. I still see Anthony as the top and him as the bottom. LOL,he'd better prepare himself for the inevitable turning out!

*sigh* Someday, someday. -w- Until that day, though, at least Shawn can give us hot-as-hell fantasies while he's jacking off. X3

Hmmm... What I like about BSC? ...Maybe it's because it's not all fluff and candy, while not being an all-out angst fest. I'm pretty sure that's what I like about it. ^w^

I would have to say that I like your characters and how they interact. They aren't just two-dimensional caricatures,or stereotypes or anything. They are actual people, with issues and biases and all the crap that comes with being human. They have motives for their actions and what they do fits with their character. Anthony isn't ready to tell anyone that he's gay, because he's insecure. Which was probably why he bullied Shawn, to make himself feel better. He thinks he'll lose his friends if he doesn't act a certain way, even if that's not necessarily true. But he's slowly starting to accept that he's gay. And Shawn's just your standard selfish teenager. Impatient, doesn't consider how others feel, etc. But he is growing, and maturing. I guess you could say that's why I like your characters: they grow, and change. And that is the point of a story, to chronicle the growth of a character (or characters).

That was longer than I expected; I hope it's what you were looking for.

And would I like to ask them anything? How about: When did Anthony first think he might be gay? Or is he still not "gay"? In which case, what is the first homoerotic fantasy he remembers having?

I hope Anthony's right, about Shawn's mom that is. I dont think Emmy knows anything about the relationsip, maybe Shawn's being paranoid. Great chapter, update soon please!!!

It's nice to see Anthony (somewhat) accepting how he feels about Shawn. =3 .........I can't think of anything else to say. I'm uncaffinated right now and real life's been kicking my ass. XP

Oh, well. At least I got Wacky Crazy Etc. to look forward to. ;3
