This is my impatience and glee speaking but THANK GOD AN UPDATE YAY /no no i hadnt been checking my inbox three times a day since the first chapter came out NO NO NOT AT ALL /innocent whistling

For a moment i was worried about Conner being all 'oh no he has a fiancee and he lied to me B|' but huzzah~ Tim smoothed that over fairly fast. BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *wrings her hands* boys boys it doesnt HAVE to be a holiday thing! It can be more! MORE you hear me *distressed groaning* oh you two are so frickin stubborn sometimes it makes me wish i could knock your heads together like coconuts!

MAKING OUT YAY and bless you that they didn't go further than just making out. Though i admit that i kept waitin for a part where Tim'd be spooked out by the physical intimacy but...yay at the lack of it :D

Bawwwww they made a snow man ;w; (Shoo Rose, SHOO *flaps at her like you would a chicken* G'T outta here!) and snow ball fight and making out bawwwwww <3

*Stares at Epic!Comment of Epicness* Dude

Wow! Thanks so much for the compliment! Hopefully we'll have the rest of the story up soon and your poor inbox can get a rest! ;)

As Anidawehi said, we didn't want to draw out the misunderstood conversation too much, not enough time in the story and it would take away from the boys' flirting. And yes, Ma and Bernard (and probably even Tam) will be plotting to make it more than a holiday fling, even if Conner and Tim aren't thinking that way just yet. And yes, they were only making out now, but they don't have a lot of time, so they'll be moving faster than the might otherwise do in a less compressed relationship.

*giggles at Rose being shoo'd like a chicken* I don't think she'd like that image, though.

I suspect Ma may have gotten Bernard's name, at least, from Conner after he overheard the conversation, but yes, otherwise, she is Ma and therefore awesome and will be polite and patient and determined until someone at the company got her in touch with the right person.

We are working on part three now!

Hooray, an update! I'm loving this charming, if cliche'-ful, romance. ^_~

THANK YOU for not going the old "misunderstood overheard conversation" route. *That's* a cliche' I hate, especially when it's something that can be resolved by simply talking about it. When Tim DID talk about it with Conner, and they had such a straightforward conversation about their relationship, I could have cheered.

Tim's response to Rose's pretty oblique threat seemed a little over the top, but I suspect that jealousy was motivating that as much as common sense.

My favorite part was Ma's conversation with Bernard. It had me grinning and chuckling as they schemed together. Can't wait for the next chapter!

[anidawehi]

Thanks! SO glad it's got charm along with the cliche! Yeah we considered having the misunderstanding last longer but we both decided pretty quickly that we didn't want to go there, for several reasons (Some of which are outlined in my response to the previous comment). I HATE it when misunderstandings like that linger too, especially when there's a very sudden turn around in attitude from one of the characters. You would think that the other would notice and put two and two together the way that Tim did, but they almost never do

[kyrdwyn]

We're so glad you're enjoying this cliche' as much as we're enjoying writing it!

We didn't want to have the misunderstanding going on too long, it would be too hard with such a compressed time period for the story, as well as the two being in the same house. Besides, serious discussion meant clearing of air and making way for kissing! :)

Ma and Bernard are fun together. I think Tim is going to realize he's well and truly doomed once he finds out Ma and Bernard are phone friends....

We're working on part three now, hope to have it up soon!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I loved this so much. You so captured not only the voice but the spirit of Connor and Tim! And I too am so glad that you took that old and tired trope of the misunderstood conversation and tossed it on it's ear! Your having Tim come out and clear up the little mis-spoken word quick fast and in a hurry was perfect. And that first kiss, so sweet and full of potential. The boy's snow play was skillfully crafted with it not being to heavy handed with the poor city boy not knowing how to handle the snow and getting all damp and frostbitten schtick. The snow snuggling was sweet made even sweeter finding out that Ma was not only watching but approving

[kyrdwyn]

So glad you're enjoying this!

We had to clear up that conversation quickly, otherwise it would have taken too long to get to the good stuff (kissing!) and just, to me, bogged down the story.

Personally, while Tim may be a 'city boy', I think he'd still have had experience enough in snow to know how to avoid becoming damp and frostbitten (I'm sure there are some interesting ski lift stories in his past, not to mention any trips to cold climes on business).

Ma totally approves of Tim and Conner. Bernard isn't so sure of Conner yet (he hasn't met him after all) but he does approve of Ma based on that phone conversation. And I'm pretty sure he'll be more than willing to scheme more for the boys in the future.

Oh man, if we did a Syfy cliche'....I'd probably have to insist on throwing Damian in there so he could be eaten at the halfway mark by whatever fantastical beast they were all facing (what? Everyone tends to die in those except the love interests! *innocent grin*)
