Oh my goodness... I forgot to write a review for this! This was, let me just say, hands down amazing! I usually read one shots for bruiseshipping but your longer stories never disappoint me! When I started reading this, I just couldn't stop! This story kept me want to keep reading and always made me feel like I was with the characters and I knew what they were feeling. I love the concept of this fic and how you always manage to make such cool settings and different roles for the characters. I personally always love how you include Harumi! The ending as well was just amazing. Welp, that's pretty much it, hope I wasn't to much of a bother. Have a great day and don't forget to keep on creating! :)

Boo boo just tell him the truth

I STILL LOVE YOUR STORIES SO SO MUCH.
THANK YOU

Ah! I read this thanks an friend. This was so cute, what, i dont even in this fandom, i dont know who are (exactly) the characters in the series or whatever, but this, this was so cute, so fluff. Too mucho fluff for my today. This was awesome 3

This was so beautiful and well-written! and it was definitely a good ending to one of my favorite fics. I will admit, I'll be a bit sad when I don't see there's a new update for this; every time I saw you updated my face just lit up. However, I'll definitely be reading more of your future stories!

Let me just say that this whole story was an emotional rollercoaster. At some points I got frustrated when Jay wouldn't talk to Cole, and I literally felt all the tension between them. But the sweet moments were so perfect and I loved them.

That "sitting on the roof with each other without a care in the world" thing? SO CUTE. SO ROMANCEY. I LOVED IT. And the pizza roll reference to earlier chapters? GENIUS.

And I'm feeling what Jay's feeling right now. School is coming and it's coming soon!

I just really love your writing and hope you continue to write in the future. Best of luck to you! You did an amazing job with this story! Have a wonderful day!

This was a great chapter, and a great end to a great fic. You've got such a way with writing these boys, and the atmosphere of this chapter in particular was exceptionally engaging. Excellent job!

Hooray for the new story! I can't wait to see what you came up with!
KAI YOU APPLEWIPE, YOU STAY STILL AND HELP. Busy? With a small number of workers? Hitting too close to home XD I'll wring Kai's neck myself
MOOD Cole. Uniforms are unflattering to most. Down with the system!
Hehe Jay's so needy. It's cute. But senior year. Good luck to them both. Definitely nerve-wracking
Ice cream, you scream, Cole is a DORK
A cute school-dance! That's like, one of my favorite random bruise things to daydream about XD
Jay stressing because someone is missing for longer than ten-minutes is way too relatable. I'll start thinking about all the random things that could have gone wrong, then they show up. and I'm like HA-HA yes, I was not freaking out, not me, not ever.
Ooof. Okay. So it's over. So. I should probably say something. Something other than the random comments on the story XD
This was really, really cute. I love any sort of bruise, of course, but I loved this AU because it was just so ahhh heartwarming, funny, and silly, while still being pretty serious when it needed to be. Made me feel a pretty wide array of emotions. Plus nothing can ever surpass an adorable ending.
I'll be looking forward to your next fic!

Man, I really loved this story! Everything about it is awesome and it's probably one of my favourite stories of yours. Great work!

P.S. I hope you have an awesome school year!

Last chapter, holy crap! As a gift, I give to you NOT mixing this fic up with Facing the Music. P:

"He'd be back in SCHOOL. Oh, how he didn't want summer to end." I hear you, peri. I'm only a week in and I'm already dead inside. :')

Way to ditch, Kai. But at least Jay made it! That job /sounds/ exhausting, whoof. But he's made it this far! He'd better be proud.

PFT CHAT BLOWS UP OVER BRINGING CARROTS, HOW TYPICAL

Oh goodness, they're so cute. But please don't let Cole sit on your lap, Jay. He would crush you.
"Me?" Nah. He means the old lady walking her five poodles behind you. Yes, Jay, you. They should go shopping and get something nice for the both of them! I'm down for that.

Aww, Jay keeps worrying when Cole doesn't show up on time, it's sweet. Bless Harumi for helping Cole not burn his kitchen down.

Oooh, ouch. I feel Jay with his deal with the art class. I really feel that. :')

But he's really learned from the whole fiasco! And they both are better off for it. I'm glad. 3

LET THEM HAVE BABY CARROTS AT THE PARTY

THAT MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD, I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT OH MY GOD

MY NEW HC IS THAT ZANE ABSOLUTELY LOVES BABY CARROTS AND EATS THEM ALL THE TIME

THANK YOU

Okay now for a serious review-

My face went from this :) to this :o to this :D to this :'D (I'm perfect at describing emotions, I know, but bare with me-)

This fanfic was an actual blessing and I can't believe it's been almost /twenty chapters/ of it. What a run!

I love the development of Jay and Cole's relationship, and how they overcame their boundries. I relate to Cole a lot (as always XD) and it makes me happy how he and Jay found happiness ;w; (Plus Jay is my son and I want him to be happy, okay thanks for coming to my TEDTalk-)

AND THAT FINAL SENTENCE

"let's enjoy our last several hours of summer"

THIS IS MAKING ME EMOTIONAL BECAUSE IT'S ACTUALLY TRUE IRL RIGHT NOW, I'M DEAD

I loved this fanfic so much, and I can't wait for the new one!

NOOOO IT'S ALMOST OVER? CRAP
I absolutely adored this chapter though. Like all the little reasons Jay wound up falling for Cole, all bunched up together, they were so heartwarming to read. And then of course the project!
It's the most adorable gift ever? Like WHY would you ever think Cole wouldn't like it Jay you dork?
Oh that's right. Because you're Jay and you're a DIP.
My favorite part is the little letter reading and /Jay, I wouldn't give you up for the world/ ahhhhh. I love it. I love them.
Looking forward to reading more, NOT looking forward to it ending.

Pizza rolls are top notch *ok hand emoji*

*casually dies*

That was so sweet!

I loved everything about this chapter, from Zane and Harumi being good friends to all the memories I got to hear about. Every chapter brings more flashbacks and I love seeing all the little pieces of the story come together like the pictures on the board.

Jay's awkwardness was so cute, and I love how Cole is the one making jokes. The speech was perfect, and I can totally imagine Jay keeping everything. And that last line made my day. Thanks for writing this beautiful chapter that left me smiling like an idiot... well, awesome job on this! You truly have a talent for writing. Have a spectacular day!

Man, Jay's speech... It hit me right in the heart. Awesome writing!
