I have (finally) posted Chapter 3... Its a bit less intense than the previous two chapters but I think its still pretty decent and we learn a bit more about Dmitri.

Yay, chapter 3! Wheee!

I liked this story from the very beginning and I'm happy to see an update. You're right that this chapter isn't as intense, but I kind of like that. There's still an element of mystery, secrets, and the unknown--Dmitri doesn't know for sure how long he'll have Aaron and when Sabin will come back for his son--but the chapter was touching. It's cute to see Aaron copying Dmitri's action and building that bed together.

Jeremy seems like a nice character. Let's hope he stays that way, or that Sabin doesn't mess with Dmitri's emotions. I have a feeling he will though. Drama, drama. The ending was strong, with a promising kiss. Something good for Dmitri after all the crap he had to deal with for the past few days.

Looking forward to 4.
