Since it’s Halloween, I thought of doing something a little bit special. I hope you’ll like it.
This story is intended as a small treat, and it does not affect the main story line in any way. As for the time when this is happening, it’s while Aron is still married to Alex (the real one) and well before the accident. And it just happens that he has the strangest of dreams and that dream happens to involve his best friend. The next chapter of Box Shaped Hear...

Chapter Two - It’s A Deal
Ruslan knew he was in terrible need of a shower, but he could not afford a detour to take one at home. He checked his phone and tsked in displeasure. The message was clear enough.
“Let’s just go sort up some mess,” he murmured to himself.
The reason why he preferred cabs, when he was alone, although the old man had told him to have a driver and a car to wait on him at all times, was that he didn’t want to draw unne...

Chapter Thirty – How to Cure Performance Anxiety – A Short Guide
Could Aron tell he was nervous? His friend closed his hand over Carter’s, and all he could do was to think of the warmth he was feeling. It was not exactly like they were holding hands, and there was some room between them on the back seat, while the taxi driver seemed more preoccupied with watching the road ahead rather than spying on them.
You’re getting a little paranoid, aren’t you?...

Chapter Twenty-nine - There Goes My Heart
He was still pondering over how the hell he had managed to get Aron to have sex with him so quickly when his phone started ringing. This time, he didn’t hurry to get it. Yeah, he was going to be a little sore, that was for sure.
But he could barely stop a small surprised gasp when he saw the caller.
“Hi,” Aron’s warm voice came through from the other side.
“Hey, did you forget your keys?” Carter mu...

Author's note: Hey guys! I'm starting a new series that I hope you will enjoy! With A Good Servant wrapped up, I am looking forward to offer you a new read! Since I'm not here to bore you, here is the summary and the first chapter!
Summary:
When Johnny ‘Snake’ Bryne meets Ruslan Kent, the only thing he hopes for is to get busy between the sheets with the pretty man. He’s a loner, a fighter, and complications like another person to care for are a luxury he can’t afford. T...

Chapter Twenty-Seven – Weird Straight Boy
There was still time until Saturday, and Carter had homework to do. He could hire a private detective to follow Alex around, but, somehow, he felt that would not be a good idea. Alex was a star not a housewife looking for love outside conjugal bliss. He was a star, and getting other people involved sounded like a recipe for disaster. No, he needed to be the detective and gather evidence against the guy, evidence of the guy’s chea...

Chapter Twenty-Six – The Tin Man Who Didn’t Want A Heart
It was a great thing he had Taz now, as he had a reason to go out of the house, and also to go jogging. Getting back to playing sports with buddies was not yet on his list of priorities, as he was still trying to get his life in order, and adjust to the post-Aron era, as he had come to call his life now.

Chapter Twenty-Five – Blue Pill, Red Pill
“Are we playing mime?” Carter was the first to speak again, seeing that the other was busy expressing his outrage just by standing there, petrified, with an expression of absolute horrified surprise on his perfect face.
Alex scrunched his nose and pulled the chair brusquely, taking a seat without being invited to. Carter felt the need to say something and point out the rudeness, but he could bet that little mishap w...

Chapter Twenty-Four – Not Good at Feeling
Was he really ready for a visit? Aron wasn’t a stranger, but that didn’t mean he should receive him wearing pajamas. There was too much mess lying around, too. Mumbling to himself, he began tidying up the small living room, which now, after staying at Aron’s house for a while, seemed unqualified for the ‘living’ part of the phrase.
It wasn’t like he could not afford something more expensive. He just didn’t want ...

“No, it’s just some allergy and stuff,” he quickly wiped his cheeks with his hands.
“I didn’t know you were allergic,” Aron said, still worried. “What triggered your allergy?”

Chapter Twenty-Five
They were following the stranger, without a word. By Xavier’s labored breath, Cory could tell the former Ruler of Drena was still in shock. As he was himself. The pained sobs he couldn’t control matched Xavier’s hitched breathing.
“Who are you?” he forced himself to speak.

Chapter Twenty-One – Happy F*pping Everyone!
Sleeping next to Aron was the best thing ever. Especially since the guy now had a signature way of waking him up, with slow kisses and caresses.
“Hey,” he smirked, as he stretched like a cat into the man’s arms.
“Hey back,” Aron chuckled. “I hate not being able to cuddle some more, but I need to go to work early. They’re sending someone over from New Entertainment, to ask us about a new motivational boo...

He almost felt tempted to walk through the door and yell ‘honey, I’m home’, but somehow he wanted to take Aron by surprise. No such luck, though, as the guy was expecting him, his arms crossed over his chest and a stony look on his face.
“So, what do you want to tell me?” Aron spoke first.
“What? No smooches?” Carter opened his arms wide and walked towards Aron.
Apparently, the guy was not in the mood for his...

Chapter Nineteen - The Shape of Truth
They stumbled inside, laughing and joking, and somehow ended on the carpet in the living room. The game had been incredible, they had stuffed their faces with hot dogs and they had spent their evening in a dive, drinking and singing with other fans.
“Fuck, this was the most amazing night out in forever, Alex,” Aron said breathily, as somehow he managed to disentangle himself from Carter’s limbs, only to adjust his posit...

Nobody was saying a thing. Waiting was the pits, Cory thought, as he eyed the door for the umpteenth time with troubled eyes. Were they really prepared for what was going to come through that door, should Edgar get caught? He could not tell, and he didn’t need to check on his partners in justifiable crime, to know that they were thinking the same thing, maybe not worrying as much, but dealing with their own thoughts in their own ways.

So, whoever did the stupid body swap knew very well about it. And was doing nothing to correct the situation. Things were just getting stupider, if that was a word.
“Boss?”
It took him two full seconds to realize that Mark was trying to draw his attention. He reluctantly let go of the pencil he had been munching on until being interrupted.
“Yes, Mark,” he said snappily. “Sorry, I’m just in a bad mood,” ...

Aron had made him walk into the house in nothing but his sneakers, commenting something on how nice he looked with jizz pouring down from his ass, and he had had to just take the guy’s word for it.
Now, under the hot spray of the shower, and Aron’s wandering hands, he was starting to doubt whether the fact that he had given in like a whore was for the best or the worst.
Points in favor of this being the best thing ...

Cory knew what fear felt like. He remembered the way the hot iron had branded his flesh, the searing pain. As he could still recall being asked the same questions by the Trainers about Xavier’s disappearance, over and over again.
But this, this was a new kind of fear, sister to despair, deep and wide, threatening to swallow him whole, down to the last fiber of his being.
He leaned against the metal wall of the long corridor, breathing hard, and taking i...

There was no possible way to reason with the guy, nor did he take hints. Simon was like a stupid dog that needed a lot of training. After closing the door a few more times in his face, and a few others telling him to just go home already, Carter had had to open the door wide and try to have a conversation with the guy.
“Do you have any idea how this looks? The neighbors will see your car parked in the driveway!” he p...

Was living like a star always like this? Carter had to admit that while the wild ride to work in that car had been awesome, the stares he got while waiting for the lights to change, along with all the giggles and even a few not so veiled invitations from both men and women, had made him feel rather ... icky.
Maybe driving a fancy car was really not for him. Alex’s lifestyle was so overdone. It made one wonder what could be hiding underneat...

“Should I ask what’s wrong?” Edgar’s voice broke the thread of his gloomy thoughts. “Besides the obvious,” the scientist added, with a tinge of humor.
“The obvious?” Cory turned toward his friend, with a small smile.
Maybe it was not too bad to get distracted for a bit.

He woke up with the first rays of sun gently invading the room through the curtains. He could not remember ever feeling so well rested. Usually, he was a fussy sleeper, as there always had to be something ready to annoy him, be it a crumpled sheet, a pillow all in knots, or his own mind trying to solve this or that.
“Morning,” Aron nuzzled his neck, waking up with the first stir from Carter.
“Um,” was the only thing he could say.

“Is this bothering you?” Xavier asked, moving his arm slowly, and looking at the mechanical thumb Edgar had created from nuts and bolts and scrap metal and who knew what else readily supplied by Marcus who seemed pretty much taken with the scientist from Aeria.
Despite being quite passionate about mechanics, at a layman’s level, for sure, Xavier had little idea about how Edgar had managed to bypass the conflict between his flesh and metal. For ...
