Alex and Thomas
Alex
1. How tf are we dealing with Jasper? Will be be ruining his "manhole"?
I'd sign up for that
Alex: I'm not really at liberty to say, but, girl, that's a very good idea. Making a note of that right now.
2. Do I need to beat up jasper for you? Cause I will rip his eyes out, his fingers off and torture him until he's gotten what he deserves
Alex: I love the enthusiasm, and I'll definitely remember you if I need help, but don't do all that for me. Do that for Elliot or Thomas, or one of the many people he has hurt.
3. Alex first of all kudos on kneeing Jasper in the nuts ððð what's up with you and Thomas with all this damn foreplay?
Alex: it was the least I could do. And, bitch, I have no idea! Ask the master of foreplay himself. He's sitting right next to me.
Thomas: *uncomfortable silence*
4. Um, hey, so, uh... how's being gay going for you? And uh, when are you and Thomas gonna have an actual wedding for the actual love that you guys actually have now?
Alex: hello! Being gay is going amazingly well. I mean, what's not to like about being gay? Rainbow, sexy men, unicorns, sexy men, sparkles, sexy menâ
Thomas: can you stop saying that?
Alex: What? Sexy men?
Thomas: yes! We get it, you're gay, but please stop.
Alex: But that's the best part about being gay. Except, of course, when you're around a sexy man 24/7 and nothing happens. I mean, you kiss sometimes but that's about it. Now that, that isn't exactly fun. That's frustrating.
Thomas: I feel like that got very pointed very fast.
Alex: it did. I deserve an award for my patience. Or a reward, I'm not too picky. But about the wedding! Someday soon I hope! Because that would really be amazing.
5. Oh yeah, and will I be invited because my invitation seemed to have been lost in the mail last time.
Alex: Of course you are invited! You can be in the wedding if you want. Like a groomsman or something. Let's talk about this! And I wouldn't be surprised if it was, or it didn't get sent at all. No one let me do anything for my own wedding, and everything was horrible. They had awful flowers, the cake was...not even worth mentioning. Oh my god! The color scheme was so not me (there wasn't a hint of pink!) and hardly anyone I knew was there! This time around, I will be in complete control, and you will definitely be invited.
6. Wait. I have more. This ones very subjective, but what is love to you?
Alex: Love is probably one of the best feelings in the world. It's so powerful, but so hard to define, and I think it could be answered so differently by anyone you asked. To me love is to put what someone else wants or needs over what you want. If you love someone, they are your top priority. Everything else falls under that.
7. What was your idea of a dream wedding?
Alex: I don't want it to be simple. Sorry, I'm not one of those people who would just want a quiet, peaceful place with only a few people there. Bitch, the whole world could come to my wedding if they wanted and I probably wouldn't even notice. How could I when I would only have eyes for one person?
But seriously, I want it to be really grand and lot of flowers. Like, it needs to smell like a freaking garden. And a lot of them need to be pink. And none of this throwing rice at me. You may throw glitter if you must, but that's it. And maybe I'll throw something in that Thomas wants, but only if I really approve.
Thomas: Thanks for that.
Alex: You're welcome, hon.
8. Who was your first kiss/bf?
Alex: My first kiss was when I was twelve. It was cute. I mean, it really was. I used to meet up with this friend of mine after school, and we always met on this bridge close by to our houses. It was a pretty picturesque spot. His name was Aubrey, and he has the most amazing green eyes. One day we were standing there, and next thing I knew he had kissed me. They we're leaving town the next day, so that was the end of that.
My first boyfriend was when I was thirteen, and I'm not kidding he was hot. He was a grade above me and I practically worshipped the ground he walked on. His name was Jack. We only dated for like five months, but I haven't forgotten him. Thomas is totally jealous right now. I wish you could all see him.
Thomas: I am not!
Alex: Is it because I said he was hot?
Thomas: I'm not jealous.
Alex: Too bad. You're pretty hot yourself when you get jealous.
9. If you could marry someone other than Thomas who would it be out of these: Ray, Elliot, Jonathan, Jay and Cam?
Alex: Oh! That's a good question. Not Jonathan. I barely know the guy. Not Cam, because that's just weird. Jay is super cute, but he's my friend and I couldn't even handle kissing him that one time, so I think not. Raymond is hot, I'm not gonna lie, but I think it would have to be Elliot. Then he wouldn't have to be married to Jasper! And besides, we would have so much fun being gay queens together.
10. What if Thomas wants kids?
Alex: What if he does? I'm too young right now to think about kids. I don't much care for them, but I'd make an awesome dad so I might bless a child one day by raising it.
11. Do you have any nicknames for Thomas?
Alex: Of course! Tommy. Thomas the tank engine. Thomassâ
Thomas: you have never called me that!
Alex: I should. It's a pretty awesome name.
Thomas: Please don't.
Alex: Thomass
Thomas: Alex, please.
Alex: Are you begging? Because begging isâ
Thomas: Don't even go there.
Thomas
1. Hey Thomas, what did you think of Alex when you first met him? Did you think he was cute?
Thomas: When I first saw him I thought, "you've got to be kidding me. This is who they picked for me to marry?" I didn't think he was cute. I was still mad about the whole situation and pissed at my dad for putting him in such a difficult position.
Alex: Do you think I'm cute now?
Thomas: *looks at his face for a few seconds* Definitely
2. I know Alex is a little headstrong but what the fuck was that stupid argument you had with Alex? Your asshole tendencies are increasing mi Lord and it's not pretty.
Alex: Oh! Maybe...maybe he heard all my comments about 50 Shades, and he got curious about the book. But then he saw that it was hetero, I know, gross, and decided not to read. But the subject interested him so he went looking for other books with that strange acronym, BDSM, but this time ones with the gays. In reading that, he probably read about all those asshole type doms who basically control every area of their sub's life, and the subs are all like, 'yes, sir. Control my life, sir. Punish me while you're at it, sir' and he was all like, 'I gotta try this with mine' only he forgot that he didn't have one and when he got home and started trying to control me, he realized that in this relationship we both had equal say.
Thomas: umm...
Alex: Actually the sub is really more in charge. I mean, if they really want they can stopâ
Thomas: I was just worried about his safety.
Alex: Oh...that's what that was *shares a confidential look with you*
Thomas: yep
Alex: *whispers* possessiveness is a characteristic of all the dominants I've read about.
Thomas: How do you know all of this?
Alex: I have a phone, don't I?
Thomas: *shakes his head* technology...
3. When are you actually going to take Alex to bed? I know for sure I wouldn't be as patient as Alex! Poor thing has probably been wanting to go to town, riding "something". Preferable something that's yours?
Thomas: Wow...how did this make it onto the list of questions to answer? Isn't that a little bit of a mature question? *looks over at Alex who is staring fixedly at him, waiting for his answer*
Umm...that's....private.
Alex: so private even I don't know. How is it that this random person knows me better than you? Thank you random person for this amazing questions that has caused my husband to sweat profusely and blush like a school girl.
4. Do you ever wanna wear Alex's pink sweats?
Thomas: No
Alex: Liar.
Thomas: I am not!
Alex: You totally are, and you're bad at it.
Thomas: Okay fine! Yes, I do sometimes
Alex: You can wear them whenever you want.
Thomas: Really?
Alex: Yep. As long as I'm not wearing them.
Thomas: Well, that goes without saying.
Alex: Sadly
5. How do you feel about Alex? Jonathan? Are you ever going to clean things up with your brothers? Maybe if you do it will help Elliot he'll have the strength to kill Jasper
Thomas: At this point, I'm just worried about Alex. I want him to take what I'm saying seriously and stay away from harm. I am a little worried for Jonathan right now too. When he becomes king he will have a much bigger burden to bear, and dealing with your own father would be hard. I know he is strong enough for this though.
I'm trying to. I really am. After all of this is over, and they know about everything, I think it will be easier.
6. I wanna know which way your gonna like it. Pitch, catch or both ðð
Thomas: I...don't know what you're talking about, but I'm guessing it isn't about baseball....because you winked, and because everyone is like trying to make me uncomfortable with their questions.
Alex: it's definitely not about baseball.
Thomas: I don't know how to answer this then. I don't know what they are talking about.
Alex: Look it up. Try the urban dictionary.
Thomas: I don't want to. You answer for me.
Alex: Oh no, that's for you to say, babe. But all I can say is that I know what your answer better me.
Thomas: Alex, that didn't help at all.
Alex: Look it up
7. I'm gonna to ask you the same thing I asked Alex: when's the REAL wedding? I NEED ANSWERS PRINCEY
Thomas: I'm not sure. Whenever Alex says.
8. Favorite Imagine Dragons song and/or album? And what do you see your future being like?
Thomas: Dream is my favorite song, I think. My favorite album is Smoke And Mirrors, but Origins is up there too.
That's a good question. Up to this point I've never tried looking that far. But recently...the future seems a lot brighter. I don't know what my future holds, but I'm excited for it.
9. Do you want kids?
Thomas: Maybe someday. But not for a while yet.
10. Do you love Alex?
Thomas: Now why do you think the author would spend all this time working on our relationship, and building it up to place where we almost act like a couple, only to ruin it all by answering that kind of question in a Q and A? Just let things happen when they happen.
11. What is love to you?
Thomas: I feel like Alex just have a really good answer to that, which I'm still kind of in awe of. He's a hard act to follow so I'll just say, what he said.
12. Do you have any nicknames for Alex?
Thomas: nope
Alex: I just thought of another one for you.
Thomas: I'm not so sure I want to hear it. You have that look in your eye that always frightens me.
Alex: What's your last name?
Thomas: It's Rex. You already know that.
Alex: What letter does your first name start with?
Thomas: It starts with aâoh no! Nope. No way in hell.
Alex: T-Rex
Thomas: *sighs*
13. How protective are you of Alex?
Thomas: Mess with him and you'll find out.
14. When will you be super comfortable and embrace your bi-ness?
Thomas: I feel like I'm getting more comfortable. Slowly, but surely.
Alex: Then we need to get him to a Pride Parade.
Thomas: Baby steps, Alex. Baby steps.
Raymond
1. How the hell can you get out of marrying when your brothers can't?
Raymond: It's simple. I'm smart. If I don't want to marry someone I do all that I can to not marry them. If there family doesn't like me, better yet, if they don't like me, they won't want to marry me.
2. I don't really have a question but you better cherish Cole or else I'll break your bones.
Raymond: noted
3. Why were you such a dick when you guys were younger? Also, if things don't work out between you and Cole I can like.... drop you my number. So just ask, okie? ð
Raymond: I was not a dick! Who said I was a dick? If it was Thomas than I wouldn't take everything he said as true. I mean, okay maybe I was kind of a dick, but we were both dicks. I feel like a lot of people are as teenagers? I mean Elliot never was but he's an exception.
4. What's being a prince like? Like... on a scale of "would never recommend" to "I can't even put it into words"
Raymond: Well, if you're like me and aren't easily bossed around, I would 100% recommend, but if you can't hold your ground, being a prince can really suck.
5. Back then when Thomas' grades were falling and his behavior changed dramatically (after the assault?) did you really not suspect anything?
Raymond: What...are you talking about? What assault? You mean when Thomas started acting like an asshole? I thought that was just teenage hormones and anger issues and stuff. Now I need to go find out about this...
6. Do you love Cole?
Raymond: I don't think so. Not yet.
7. Do you want kids?
Raymond: Not a whole hell of a lot, but I'm not entirely against the idea.
8. What is love to you?
Raymond: I don't know, man. I think it probably caring about someone so much you'd do anything for them. I don't think it has to be all romantic and shit. Like, I love Elliot. I'm going to do what it takes to make sure he is okay. That's love to me.
9. Do you have nicknames for Cole?
Raymond: No....he's not really the type to want a nickname. He'd probably be really mean to me if I gave him one.
Elliot
1. Can I hug you?
Elliot: sure? As long as it's not like a creepy, drawn-out, not really a hug anymore, and more like something weirder but still called a hug. As long as it's short, than sure. I could use a hug.
2. Poor babyy! We're coming to save you!
Elliot: Not really a question, but thanks. I don't want to get my hopes up, though. I don't expect this plan to succeed.
3. Why did you kiss Alex?
Elliot: Umm...I don't really know how to explain this, and before you start giving me shit for it, understand that I've already paid for it multiple times.
But to answer the question, I don't know how else to say this but that I was lonely. And not in a weird way. It's not like I suddenly have feelings for Alex or something. I just wanted to escape for a few minutes. To get away from the fear and the pain for just a brief moment. I wanted to feel some human contact that wasn't painful or forced.
I know I was wrong to do so, but I wouldn't even have cared if it had become more than a kiss...just anything and anyone that wasn't Jasper. But I know that Alex loves Thomas so that was never going to happen.
4. I just want to say, don't be scared..everything will be alright soon.
Elliot: Thanks, but it won't. Nothing's going to be alright ever again.
5. I hope you aren't going to blame my Alex for the awful stuff that's happened to you. Be strong darling.
Elliot: I thought for a second that Thomas asked this question, but then you said darling. Why would I blame Alex? He's done nothing wrong.
6. How are you coping with the current situation? Like, the constant assault and you're probably scared a lot. But in the last chapter it seems that you're already accustomed to it and as if you don't care anymore.
Elliot: I don't really know how I'm coping. I don't think I am. All I know is that fighting is pointless and only ends up making things worse. He's going to do what he wants either way, so why fight it? That's probably how I'm coping. Sometimes I imagine I'm somewhere else with someone else...it helps, you know?
7. Do you want kids with Alan?
Elliot: *tears up and quickly wipes his eyes* umm...I used to imagine us growing up and maybe adopting after a while, but...that's just wishful thinking now.
8. Do you even go to school?
Elliot: My schooling was a little different that what I assume normal schooling is. I started learning languages and court protocol at a very young age, and had a private tutor when I was five. Since we basically worked year round, I head learned everything that you would learn in high school by the time I was 12. And, or course, I had many other subjects to learn such as dancing and politics and stuff. I still was working with my private tutor up until this engagement.
9. Do you have nicknames for Alan?
Elliot: Well I never called him Al! Because that's just...really ugly. I used to call him Ally a lot. But mostly just Alan. Or babe...or baby...possibly sweetheart. So, the answer is yes, I did.
10. What is love to you?
Elliot: Whatever I had with Alan is as close to love as I will ever know. If that's not love I don't know what is.
Jonathan
1. Not exactly sure what your deal is. I'm not very fond of you to be honest. I still have a slight feeling that your tryna steal Thomas but it's whatever I guess.
Jonathan: Is this even a question? Sorry that you don't like me, man, but that's your loss. I have no problem with you up to this point, and to set your mind at ease, I have no intention of stealing anyone.
2. How do you feel about your father being the reason that you and Thomas aren't together?
Jonathan: To be honest, it's the worst feeling in the world. It's very hard to know about what he did, and to try and make up for it somehow, and yet to know that nothing I can do will ever fix anything. There will always be that between Thomas and I, even as friends.
3. How did Thomas make you feel when he rejected you, back when you were fourteen?
Jonathan: Like shit. That was one of the worst times of my life, and definitely made me think twice about coming out to anyone else. I understand his reaction now. I only wish I could have realized what was making him react that way and tried to help instead of shutting him out for hurting me. His pain was much worse than my boyish heartbreak.
4. I guess I'll just go with this one but I'm curious though I could just ask Raymond but...nah. Anyways, what was Thomas like growing up?
Please say he was a total weirdo.
Jonathan: Growing up, Thomas was a complete weirdo. And awkward as fuck. Especially when he had his growing spurt and didn't know what to do with his limbs. He actually has a pretty good voice, but he used to always try and imitate famous singers at the top of his voice which was god awful. I can't believe he used to convince me to sing duets with him.
Oh! And sitting by him during an important event, where you are supposed to behave with decorum, was a really bad idea. He would get me to laugh without fail, and then somehow everyone always blamed me even though he was the obvious instigator. And we might also have had a thing for setting up pranks whenever we got together. His older brothers hated us.
5. Also, a little downer, but what happened with your mom? Is she okay? And how is your sister doing?
Jonathan: Well...she died almost fourteen years ago. And thank you for asking about Eva. She is doing okay.
6. What is love to you?
Jonathan: Love is something you read about in books and see in movies. I don't believe love is real. Either that or I am incapable of feeling love the way it is always depicted.
Jay and Cam
1. So Cam how are you and Jay doing have y'all got dirtt yet ððð
Cam: We are doing very very well. And, sorry, but that's confidential *smirks*
Jay: If you smirk like that you are basically answering the question *rolls eyes at him*
2. How are you and Jay doing?
Cam: *smiles over at Jay* it's going good. Very good.
Jay: it was worth the wait.
3. Ha! Okay. Ultimatum. Alex or Jay? You can't choose both. And neither is not a choice. You can go by any circumstances.
Cam: How is this a question? Jay, of course! Because, like, I already chose him anyways.
4. Oh yeah. Paper or plastic?
Cam: paper! *smirks over at Jay who ignores him*
5. What is love to you?
Cam: Is love a real thing?
Jay: Yes
Cam: Okay, umm...then love is not much to me right now, but something I'm sure I will figure out as I go. *looks questioningly at Jay* was that good?
Jay: That works.
6. Do you have any nicknames for jay?
Cam: Well, Jay is a pretty short name already. So not really. If I want to annoy him I'll call him Jay Jay. For some reason he can't stand that.
7. Jay I guess you appreciate Alex for doing something you couldn't?
Jay: Honestly! I don't think I'll be able to repay him. Ever. I love that man. As a friend, come on guys.
8. What's your favorite thing about Cam?
Jay: One thing? Well, shit, that's hard. Umm...probably hisâ
Cam: keep it PG!!
Jay: I was going to! Seriously. As I was saying, probably his laugh.
Cam: Are you serious? My laugh is so weird.
Jay: yep!
Cam: What do you mean, 'yep'? I snort when I laugh!
Jay: I know! Why do you think I love it so much?
Cam: You're weird, babe.
9. Is the motorcycle you drive the same one you've had since high school? If not then I'll need the details of the new one since I'm looking into buying one myself.
Jay: Oh hell no! That was an old Honda Rebel 250 that I bought for practically nothing. It was not a very big bike and I got rid of it as soon as I saved up enough for another. I've had a few in between, but I have a Ducati Scrambler 1100. I just bought it a few weeks ago. It's brand new, withâ-
Cam: He squealed when he saw it for the first time after signed all the papers. And now he won't shut up about it.
Jay: I may have squealed and I'm not ashamed to admit that. It's fucking awesome! And Cam likes it too.
Cam: I wish you'd let me drive it sometime.
Jay: That's...not happening anytime soon. Just enjoy the ride for now.
10. How appreciative are you to Alex for you and Cam's relationship now?
Jay: More appreciative than I can ever say. I doubt I'll ever be able to pay him back, but I'll try anyways. Maybe he wants another tattoo....
11. Planning anymore tattoos?
Jay: I'm always planning new tattoos. The question is, is there any more room for tattoos?
12. How does it feel to be a badass but not really be a badass?
Jay: I'm not a badass?
Cam: no, you're not
Jay: wow...kinda thought I was.
Cam: it's a compliment. You look like a badass, but really you're a teddy bear. That's what they meant in the question.
Jay: well, when you put it like that, it's great. It's all I've ever known.
13. What is love to you?
Jay: I'm not super good with words and stuff, but to me love is looking past peoples mistakes and flaws to who they really are. Whether that's romantically or not. It's caring for someone more than you care for yourself, and fighting for them when it would be easier to just give up.
14. Do any of y'all go to school?
Jay: I never did. Cam flunked.
Cam: ouch! Why would you betray me like that?
Jay: well it's true.
Cam: I like to say that I choose a different path in life than college could offer.
Jay: working at a retail store?
Cam: hey, don't sass me! That's my job in this relationship. I feel like I've found my calling working at Spencer's.
Jay: I don't even know what that store is.
Cam: oh, babe, come visit me at work and I'll give you a personalized tour.
Jay: it's a date then.
Cam: now this is something to look forward to.
*aside* he has no clue what Spencer's is like. This is going to be so good!
15. Do you have any nicknames for Cam?
Jay: no? I call him Cam...
Cam: that's not really a nickname, is it?
Jay: not really. I'll get back with you. I might think of one later on.
16. What kind of things did you parents do to you? What age did you leave them(I'm guessing you left them)?
Jay: umm...my mom did nothing to me. Absolutely nothing. She never protected me from my dad's abuse, and left when I was only seven. My dad would beat me, and used his knife to cut me whenever he was angry. He also put out his cigarettes on my arms or legs. Most of my scars look like self harm scars, and all of them are covered with tattoos now. (Actually, pretty much all of the tattoos I do for people now are to cover scars, but mostly self harm scars. You'd be surprised at how many artists won't work with scarred skin.)
My aunt didn't realize the extent of the abuse (since she lived rather far away) until she found me passed out and bleeding when she came to visit. She immediately prosecuted my father and eventually won the custody battle for me. I was thirteen.
17. What is the first tattoo you put on yourself? Do they have a meaning? And if so, what are they?
Jay: my first tattoo I ever did on myself was a simple rose that I added to my sleeve I had already had. It has meaning to me as it reminds me of the rose bushes at my Aunt Laura's. When I was very young she would try and get me away from the house and my dad as often as she could, and usually I ended up helping her in her rose garden. It was a welcome distraction and actually full of good memories. When I went to live with her, I immediately associated the smell of that garden with home.
Alan
1. What will you do as soon as you see Elliot?
Alan: hold him and never let him go. And cry. Definitely cry.
2. What's your favorite memory of Elliot?
Alan: wow, that's really hard. I have so many. One that stands out though is really simple. Before he kissed me for the first time, he asked me if he could, just like he always has asked my consent for everything, even holding my hand the first time. I think that's when I realized just the kind of man I was going to be with, and just how much he truly cared about how I felt in every situation.
3. Oh! Oh! Oh! Tell us the story of how you and Elliot met. I want all the juicy bits.
Alan: Ok! So, I'm a viscount, which basically means my father is a count, and therefore means I might sometimes be in the same social gatherings as the royal family. Sometimes.
This wasn't really a social gathering, more like a party for the noblemen and women, and when I say party I mean party. People where getting drunk right and left, and I was feeling extremely out of place, especially since I was too young to drink and wasn't about to drink anyways since I had school the next day.
So, I did something stupid and decided to go off by myself to get away from the noise. Unfortunately, I also got away from the safety there was in numbers. I ran into these two older guys (they must have had some title but I don't know what) who were doing some sort of drug. I literally ran into them. And they weren't too happy that someone 'caught' them, and the next thing I knew I was backed against a wall. I'm not gonna lie, I thought I was going to die. The one guy looked ready to beat the shit out of me, and the other already had his hand around my throat.
Then out of nowhere, I heard this voice say, "Get your filthy hands off my boyfriend!" and the next thing I knew, the two guys had dropped me and run off.
Then I looked up at him, and I thought I was looking at a god. He was so perfect, my night in shining armor. Of course I knew who he was, and the reason the men had run, but I like to imagine it was because of how strong he looked that the men were too frightened to fight him.
He helped me up, and I almost wished I had been hurt a little more so he could fuss over me. As it was he brought be to a nearby bathroom to get a cold towel for my neck, the whole time apologizing for calling me his boyfriend (he thought if I was straight that might have offended me) and saying it was the only thing he could think of in that split second that it took to react.
I told him that was stupid and that he could call me that anytime he wanted. We spent the rest of the party avoiding the party, and trying to get away from his bodyguards long enough to take a walk. We got away, and found a quiet place not far from where the party was, and just sat there under the stars. He walked me if I had meant what I said about him calling me his boyfriend whenever he wanted, and when I said he's, he asked me on a date.
And that was the first time of many that we sat under the stars together, and the beginning of our relationship.
4. Do you go to school?
Alan: I just graduated high school. This year has been really crazy so I haven't thought about college at all.
5. What is love to you?
Alan: am I the only one who thinks of that song when I hear that? You know, "What is love? Baby, don't hurt me. Don't hurt me, no more."
I'm in love with Elliot, that's all I know about love, and that's all it is to me.
6. Do you have nicknames for Elliot?
Alan: I call him El mostly, or Elly. and sometimes, if he's ignoring me, or not answering when I'm telling him something important, I'll call him his full name. But only when absolutely necessary.
7. Are you ready for Elliot or what's left of him?
Alan: I've been trying not to cry this whole time, but now you've done it. I'm scared of how changed he will be. Of course, I can't wait to see him again, and no amount of change will lessen the joy of seeing him, but I don't know if I'm ready. I don't now what to expect at all.
Little Walter
1. Who is your favorite uncle?
Walter: Uncle Elliot! 'Cause he's the most funnest. Uncle Raymond used to be fun but now he just is with that guy Cole and Uncle Thomas is okay now that I have an Uncle Alex, but he used to be so boring.
2. Little Walter, can I have you as my son? And why are you so smart? You're like a mini me
Walter: I'm not little I'm almost four! *stands to full height and puffs out his chest* And no, because then I can't be king someday. I'm so smart because I learnt so much, of course.
Cole
1. When did you realize you loved Ray?
Cole: It just came to me suddenly when I thought about him going away. So many scenarios of him getting hurt played through my mind and I realized then that I just couldn't lose him.
2. What is love to you?
Cole: I don't know. I've never loved someone like this until Raymond. All I know is that I can't bear the thought of living without him.
3. Do you have any nicknames for Ray?
Cole: To be honest, we don't call each other much very often, and we haven't really talked much up to this point, like cute couple kind of talks, so I just call him Ray or Raymond.
4. How old are you?
Cole: I'm 28
The King
1. If you knew jasper was a monster why in hell would you subject your baby son to his abuse...what the hell is wrong with you?
The king: I was not aware of the extent of Japers' actions and behavior. His kingdom is much larger and more powerful than my own, and I was under pressure as a king that you wouldn't understand. He was threatening war, and I knew he was serious. I had to do what I did. I still can't that I let him marry my youngest son, but I had no other choice. I really didn't.
Jasper
1. Why are you like this? Who hurt you?
Jasper: I'd like to see you grow up the way I did and see how you act. My fucking uncles did quite a bit to me, but you wouldn't care and I have no inclination to say more.
2. Why the hell are you this way?? What makes you enjoy the pain of others so profusely?? Are the rumors really the about you abusing your first wife and daughter?? What other disgraceful things have you done?? What made you this way?? Did you have a bad childhood?? Or is it that you just like watching everyone else suffer under your pedo eye and creepy touch??
Jasper: why would I confirm a rumor like that? Figure it out for yourself. And everything I've done I see no disgrace in. My childhood was fucked up, but I made sure the people who hurt me payed for it.
Me
1. Hi. How is your day?
Hello :) It's been good. It's Sunday when I'm writing this, and Sunday is like my only relaxing day. So it's good lol
How is your day?
2. How were you inspired to write this book?
The song "Bad Religion" by Frank Ocean. Originally this book was going to be much more on the serious side, and Thomas and Alex really weren't going to get along at all, or even want to, so...yeah. It's evolved since then, but that's what inspired it.
3. Not a question - did you see my previous comment about how much I love this book!!! â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸ still 100% obsessed
I did! Thank you so much! Really, your support means so much to me. I wouldn't be writing still if it wasn't for readers like you â¤ï¸
4. Who is your most and least favorite character (you know, besides the obvious one, lol). And what did you first expect when you started this book? Also, CONGRATS ON THE 75K READS!!!!! You honestly deserve it. ð
Well, since it sounds like I can't pick Jasper, my least favorite is probably the king (Thomas' dad). What kind of dad has their 18 year old son marry a creepy 45 year old guy? Even if he is threatening you.
My favorite would have to be Thomas. Sorry Alex. And sorry everyone else, but he had a special place in my heart, and his character growth has been my favorite thing to write. Also how he and Alex are growing as a couple.
And thank you so much!!! You're constant support and friendship has really shaped me with this book, and I can't ever thank you enough for that.
5. What is love to you?
I just had to answer this question for all of my characters, so I'm gonna say it's one of those answers lol
6. Does this book have a meaning to it? and if it does than what is it?
I'm sure you could learn something from it, and maybe there is some sort of meaning, but I'm just writing it for fun. I love writing, and the fact that so many people want to read what comes out of my head is beyond me.
I don't have words to express how grateful I am to each and everyone of you who had read my book and supported me in any way. I love you all, and thanks for being a part of this journey with me and all of these characters.
