Chester's really gotten brave/forward, hasn't he? It's an interesting shift in his character and I'm curious if that's going to lead to something more than just a lot of slash.

I'm not sure why he felt the need to make an excuse to go to Mike's room lol they sleep together every night and Brad knows it XD

And for his story about his parents, that's so sad. I'm glad he told Mike, and Mike didn't get weirded out. I think it's good Chester can openly talk about things like that with someone. That's a lot of guilt to walk around with. Undeserved guilt :(

Well in general, I agree with Brad. Wow. How often do I ever write that sentence? lol. but in this, I do! They're already in a relationship. And NOT just friends with benefits. Friends with benefits don't sleep together every night and take care of each other when they're sick. They need to just admit it/have an honest conversation. I'm ready for this birthday party. I'm guessing drama is coming.

Also I think Brad's a good friend!! I mean SOMEONE had to get those two to open their eyes!!!!!

These two are just adorable together. I love Chester here. He's usually so sweet to Mike but it's been great to see this other side of him... Naughty, sexy and funny

HA! The moment they decided to go for a walk, my first thought was...you don't drink and then go for a walk XD I'm really glad it was Chester, tbh. I didn't want Mike to go out with anyone else. Even on a blind date. Kudos to Brad for being sneaky. I bet when Mike asks him about it, he'll be like...just trying to get you two to see it. Or something. I really enjoy this story, just want you to know :)

I don't think Brad's being a bad guy. In fairness, he did specifically ask Mike if he and Chester were just friends or not. Mike said they were only friends, so that's Mike's fault. lol he should have said...well...I kind of love him <3 But anyway. He should tell Chester. I'm curious to see if Chester will be jealous at all. And who is the mystery man for the date?

Can't wait until you finish this story then I can read it in one go. Keep the good work up!

Mike & Chester are sooo sweet in this story and I love the slow sweet pace of the story as well... It was great to get some insight into Chester's past and why he has those nightmares.

Things have been moving along tho in the last few chapters. Chester likes men (i was not surprised!!!

I agree with Brad. How could they not see it? Maybe it's one of those if we talk about it, we'll ruin things. Too scared to speak up and say what's happening between us? I'm curious to see who will say something first. Maybe it will be Elisa. She'll call them out for being a couple in front of everyone, and M/C will be like, what? No we're not! and that will be the start of the discussion. Or maybe a fight/distancing first. I don't know. I'm ready to find out.

Poor Chester. What a horrible thing to do through. Finding his mom like that. That would scar anyone. Now we know what the nightmares are about. I'm glad Mike is there, and so willing to comfort him. And I think the reason Chester said he's not looking for anyone is because he's finding a lot of what he wants/needs already with Mike. And now there's a kiss! lol how far will that go before they admit they're more than friends?

Brad's right. They are in a relationship. They just don't know it yet lol I'm glad to see Mike's mom being supportive. So often in stories his parents are portrayed as anti-gay and old fashioned. It's a breath of fresh air to read it going the other way here. I loved Chester's answer to getting out bed, too XD very cute.

I didn't see that coming! Well, the Sam thing. I thought for sure she was into Chester. Never would have guessed Mike, so good job on throwing me a curveball. I did figure Mike was gay. I'm glad that's out in the open. Do the other guys know, since they've known Mike for longer? I'm also curious about this bad relationship Chester had before. AND happy that Brad not only brought Elisa to the party but then back to the apartment, too. It must be serious. I'm happy for them.

I love that Chester calls him love, btw. It's so endearing :) and for now, I'm going to trust you and just go with yes, Chester is just innocent.

Oh Mike. Getting turned on by Chester like that. YES it means something lol he needs to come out of denial. And Chester, I swear, he acts so innocent in all of these interactions, but surely there must be more going on. Like, he's more self-aware than that. I want them to talk about it, or at least start thinking down those lines. And Brad. Hmmmm...he walks in and sees them cuddled together in bed, but says nothing. I'd love to know more of what he thinks about all this.

Another cute chapter :)

They're so young in the story. I love the innocence of it all. I hope this party goes well, but I'm going to guess we're going to see a jealous Mike Shinoda when Sam puts the moves on Chester. And I'm ready for it! So I hope it happens lol And Brad. I love it when Elisa is in stories. I hope we get to see her in the next chapter, too.

Oh no. I feel bad for Mike at the end of this. That seemed kind of rude of Chester. He didn't say anything to Mike, just come on, let's go to my room and closed the door. That's messed up. Even if you take out the romantic factor, Mike was taking care of him and he just brushed him off.

I love the idea of Mike making him breakfast. And the thing with Brad, why is he embarrassed to have a girlfriend? I'm curious about that. And he so used Chester being sick as an excuse to go out with her and wear one of his "good" shirts lol

I don't know what's going on with these two!! It's obvious that both care for each other but each thinks the other is just being a good friend... Chester is lucky he had Mike when wasn't well... Silsile making you soup when you're sick is just the best thing ever!!

I get why Chester didn't want to be alone when he was sick... Brad is so funny..I love reading him

They're so cute together. I love that even though Chester wasn't feeling well, Mike jumped to take care of him. Unlike Brad lol. It sucks when you don't feel well and it's always nice to be pampered a little bit. Mike's a good friend for offering to let Chester stay in his room. Sometimes, just having another persona near, another heartbeat around, can be a comfort, even if you aren't actively talking/interacting.

I had to laugh when Chester asked if he could sleep naked and then Mike's surprise over seeing Chester in bed like that. They're crazy. I thought the ending was sweet. And personally, I think the laying mostly naked in bed together and rubbing Chester's back was a much more intimate act than a kiss to his head. But it's all leading to something more. I think Chester knows/wants more. It's Mike who seems to be naive about it.

Also I forgot to say I really like Brad! He's funny, easy going and seeks life a great friend as well... And it's interesting to see Chester's softer, uncertain side show up when he's alive Mike... I'm sure that says suffering about whether need into him or bit/!!

*sleeping not skating

This story is shaping up so well... Mike and Chester in this are so cute!!! Chester seems really sweet and Mike is so nice as well!! I hope the band works out cos Mike seems really into it..I hope Chester talks about his nightmares.. It would probably help... They seem really close.. I'm sure Chester cares for Mike too... He wouldn't be the way he is with him if not.. Right??? Hmmmm

I think the glow in the dark galaxy and the two of them skating under that would be ADORABLE!!!
