(Wooo, hi, I'm late!)

Ahaha, thanks. I love when Matt's an ass and drives Anoop crazy. It's my favorite part of the dynamic of Manoop-in-my-head. ♥

awwwwwwwwwww <3

i love this so much. especially this part:

"I have a guest bedroom with your name on it, asshole," Anoop says, without even moving, because it turns out Matt this close is good any way he can get it. It's maybe not the way he meant to say that, but nothing ever goes as expected for them, he's figured out.

i always love stories in which they're confused about where they stand and this is no exception. well-done! :)

(Hi! So late at comment replies! Oops!)

Thanks, bb. I love putting these boys through confusion issues to have it all work out in the end. Ugh, Manoop. :)

I love this so much. It's soooooooo Manoop. Sigh. I mean... really. They can dance around issues forever but then they are like kissing and stuff and then everything is awkward and then everything is okay and I'm like yay, that's my boys and... sigh. I don't even have the words for this amount of flail. I read it twice already. I love every word. I love the ending when Anoop is all tucked in Matt's embrace and waiting for him. I love Matt walking his fingers up Anoop's thigh and teasing him. Hahahahaha omg... I love how you are able to create all this tension and build up and just make it such a tight little believable story. I wish I had those kind of skills instead of rambling all over the place forever! And OMG the way you fit the olympics into it and couch-coaching... all the humor. You're magic at this. Thank you so much. I LOVE IT. In case you can't tell. I do ( ... )

(Hi, I'm late at replying to all these comments. Oopsie!)

Thanks for reading, bb. The Olympics thing was totally unplanned and just sort of happened because I needed a setting for the ending and just couldn't get that image out of my mind once it got there lol. Oh, boys. :D
