Yeah my Brain just shut down. It’s too hot, the ethics have slipped past me.

Now if we go by typical bad yaoi plot they fall in love and have sex later. But that’s not going to happen.

I hope.

Well ok maybe part of me is still just like THAT WOULD BE SO HOT. Yeah my mind is now permanently in the gutter.

Hehehe I was just sitting in my chair bouncing up and down chanting ‘Kissing kissing kissing kissing…..’ while I waited for the page to load and first thing outta my mouth after “YES!!!!

Well, this certainly put a nice glimmer to writing a paper on the accreditation of hospitals for my Healthcare Legal Concepts class.

And I congratulate you if you actually made it through the sentence without falling asleep.

Hey, I’m all for them falling in love, but I think it would end up bad for both of them as I’m sure at some point, they’ll be on opposite sides of the battlefield. Of course, I love a little angst in my stories so I freely admit to being biased. (Take that, Anni!) Anyways, love the page. I need a job so I can donate…

xLizardx

Yaaaay! Finally! [That's not an indictment of the build-up by the way, this wouldn't be so satisfying without it being the culmination of all that sexual tension... not to mention innuendo on Annihilator's part] The final panel is my favourite, where Kyle seems to be forgetting his anxieties and losing himself in the moment, and Mr. Fox’s expression almost mirrors his.
http://twitter.com/TwistedHilarity Twisted Hilarity

woo hoo!! Oh man, I was SO waiting for this. Older guys FTW. Lucky kid, he gets to have his first kiss with someone who knows what he’s doing…and will hopefully put every bit of that knowledge to good use. >:-)

Oh… Oh mai…. Oh I can forgive this page for not having any word bubbles. This is an important moment at least for the never-before-kissed Kyle and it should be treated with quiet respect….. But I’m still gonna scream like a little girl over it.
I don’t think this is wrong at all but if it IS wrong, I’d say it just makes it even more right. Can’t wait for the next page!

I hope the word ‘grunt’ is not used on the actual page on Saturday. It’s an ugly word, I don’t like it D:< As much as the idea of grunting sounds awesome, the word is… unappealing.
BUT HEY, THIS PAGE ISN'T. It's really cute. The age difference is unimportant. Kyle seems to like the kiss~
- Sanbai
  
  Myrtu is right! I don’t want no grunts! I want me some “”UNNNGGGHHHH!” or some “AAAAAAAHHHNNNNNNNNGGGG!!” Maybe a little “MMMMMMPHH!” I demand onomatopoeias! We don’t want something so imprecise as a mere “grunt”!

Do you think Kyle's gonna melt Anni's heart a little? Or is he just too plain evil and going to take advantage of the situation…? Will Kyle start having feelings for Anni after this….? Perhaps he's a devilishly good kisser!! EEP! LOVING this! Can't wait until Saterday now <3

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

First a short kiss, pause, then kiss again. I think Kyle is enjoying that kiss even more than Anni is. I love how Kyle goes from nervous to shocked to really into it. And panel 5 where Kyle’s hand is on Anni’s shoulder – he isn’t faking his enjoyment there! He can’t be! And Hell, just how turned on is Anni?!

Brilliant page Alex, Adam and Veronica!

I’m stupid, so consider my question that.

But have you written a comic on these guys before? Mikakitten makes it sounds like she knows of events that makes Anni a really evil person.

Despite you saying he was a bad guy at the start of this story, he hasn’t come across to me as being that bad of a guy.

That aside,

The kiss that has been talked about for weeks happened and I was almost too embarrassed for Kyle to look.

My only … thing… is that in the last panel they appeared to be the same height. I’m sure we see a very good reason for that in the next post.

L.O.V.E. this page.

My favorite part is that Kyle still hasn’t upheld his side of the bargain, because Mr. Shiny very explicitly stipulated that Kyle was to kiss him. However, Kyle is definitely the one being snogged senseless. Oh, I can’t wait for this little game to play out. >:-}
- b3nc0
  
  Isn’t the 2d kiss in the 5th panel engaged by Kyle? With his hand holding more than pushing on Parkourman’s shoulder, being smaler doesn’t help showing being the snogger ¨3
- http://pulse.yahoo.com/_W7TCY24F2ILZGSVJ32TJG4LJGU Jamie
  
  Didn’t Mr. Shiny change his mind about that once he found out Kyle had never kissed before? On the previous page, he told Kyle to just follow his lead and make him believe he liked it.
  - http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1057073414 Tina Barron
    
    I’d say you both have very valid points…of course, He’s The Villain, so he can work this anyway he likes…or anyway I like…I would totally go along with that. lol
b3nc0

Wasn’t it supposed to be JUST /ONE/ KISS?

I love Kyle’s shocked realization of how good Parkourman is at this kind of activity =°O
Shasarazade

I love the progression of their facial expressions through each panel. Kyle looks so nervous and uncomfortable at first, and the Annihilator looks…devilish, for the lack of a better term. Then both of their features soften as they get into it. It makes it seem like to me that they both reeealy like it, and the kiss is affecting them both as opposed to just one of them. Once it ends though I can imagine that the mood will be less than pleasant, but in this moment it’s all about the kiss.

Awesome, awesome job!

I love how Kyle is all terrified in the first two panel while Annihilator is really smug then by the forth,fifth,and sixth panels those feelings are replaced with surprise and longing.

This is definitely not how Kyle imagined his first kiss but I think he’s enjoying himself^^.

Erica

last panel. Annihilator/Silver Fox finally doesn’t have a knit in his brow. Lookin kinda like they BOTH like that. >:] YESH. MWAHAHA YESH. Best Bonus page. XPP I have torn feelings of hoping that this isn’t just a one time thing. Im not sure if it’d be cliche to have Kyle super into it in the next page and then realize last minute before n e thing else can happen then be in denial about liking what just happened running away then meeting up with annihilator countless times on countless missions and have the same thing happen over and over except getting progressively worse until one day annihilator HAS to save Kyle because everyone in his ‘squad’[team... group, w.e. lol] is in a predicament and he finds a shaken up Kyle scared shitless about the situation, embracing onto Mr. Fox [this is shorter to type. xD] in fear and relief, then mr. fox, finally having kyle in the palm of his hand, takes him and kyle finally gets to properly enjoy each others bodily connections without any denial and so forth…. but…. iunno if this is cliche XDDD OR if there’ll be a whole new person who takes Kyle away but… I’m honestly rooting for the whole Annihilator-Kyle thing…
oh and also, I keep having no time/being lazy about commenting properly about the whole age thing… there’s nothing wrong with the age gap if it’s huge. Just because Kyle is almost 18 17 whatever… it doesn’t mean he or whoever is older can’t be into one another. Like for me, I legitimately have an undying love for someone who is 38 turning 39 this year. I’m 19 turning 20. Obviously if you do the math that’s 19 years apart. I mean he may be an actor/musician/model, but if i seriously knew who he was and had a friendship with him I would honestly pursue him. He may not pursue me… but… whtever >_> ): Reading things like this makes me feel like I’m not crazy for liking someone crazy older. I’ve like others that is significantly older too. Married men even. = I have a lil girl crush on someone who’s turning 31 this september. >_> Call me a freak if anyone wants, but fact of the matter is, love has no boundaries. It’s corny to say, but it really doesnt. If you truly love someone, small obstacles like being older, being ill, having any flawed body part[s], whatever it may be, it can be overcomed. Now, I seriously thank whoever has read this far in my comment. XD :3

Can’t tell what people think of this in the recent comments; there seems to be a lot of internal conflict of some kind, but /I/ definitely like it, no doubt there.

I /am/ somewhat questioning my integrity, though. Perhaps I’d find anything acceptable if a few, hot yaoi scenes are thrown in. xD
- Luci2k
  
  I think I will have more of a problem with it if it goes beyond a kiss. Anything more would be too predatory and creepy.
  - b3nc0
    
    I wasn’t in favor of this blackmailed kiss, but if the next step is consensual, I’d say go for it ♥
    - http://profile.yahoo.com/7CQBDMYDCXUI5IBQAWIREWLRHA Automaton
      
      Agreed; if both willingly jump into a relationship (probably just casual sex at first, I’d predict), then I’m more than fine with it. Hope it won’t result to anything like rape at some point, though, like the majority of those yaoi OVA’s that I keep watching where the dominant, basically evil guy does whatever the hell he pleases.
      
      … I really fail at finding good yaoi video material.

Hey Mikey, He likes it, he likes it!!

Can I just say that body language speaks volumes? What villian in this world who was dead set on getting what they want would tip someone’s chin gently? No sir, a true villian who does not give a flying F*** would have grabbed that boys face, shoved his tongue down his throat and had that boy’s pants down in seconds. Nope, I think mister Annihilator has something else up his sleeve…and it could be some type of feelings…or maybe he’s luring the fly to the honey in the best way possible. Either way, this page is like a gentle transition from surprised to whoa…wow…more…please! Maybe not in that order, but…you know what I mean.

On that note, I’m going to eat some Life and mark this page as “awesome” and “worth the wait” cause the next page will be brilliant and a marker for crap to really hit the fan!

Kyle might be new to this…reminds me of…me and what happened when I experienced my first french kiss…after I said some thingto the effect of..just one more thing….and I had to bend hm down to my level (he was over 6′ tall and I’m 5′ 6″) and I followed his example…boy! was that sweet.

fujoshifanatic

YAAAAAAS LAWD! *sung in my best Gospel voice* I love, Love, LOVE the play of emotions on Kyle’s face as the kiss plays out, from complete fear in panel two to total wanton abandon in panel six; Adam and Veronica did masterful work here!

I can’t believe that Anni’s intentions are completely nefarious–not after the enticingly gentle way in which he seems to be easing Kyle into manhood. I think it would be awesome if Annie accidentally caught a case of the feels during his games with Kyle. Since he would most likely have to hide that fact as the villain, it would just add to their already smoking chemistry and make for some really interesting scenes between him and clueless Kyle. I can see all kinds of possibilities with this liaison, and I approve.

Well done Alex! I’m looking forward to next Saturday, and some possible grunting, and definitely more tongue!

When I read this page, I unconsciously said “TEEE, Yaaaay.” Caught myself saying it, and said, “The fuck?” all the same, i love this page.
http://www.facebook.com/KaraCake01 Kara Stephens

The gentle doesn’t surprise me one bit and I feel certain Kyle is going to be re-thinking all this Villain Vs Hero stuff very soon. Anni seems more open, more responsive and may I even go so far as to say a better person than whom Kyle hangs out with on a regular basis.

If Anni had been a true “evil” character he would have destroyed Kyle right then and there at the beginning and not make snarky comments about his age and press for the kiss. He’s not really a bad guy, he just hated society’s shackles and threw them off.

The pure emotion on Anni’s face in the kissing panels is just… agh. He’s clearly calm and showing a more open expression than normal. I have a feeling though someone from the team is going to show up, knock them apart and “rescue” Kyle.

Oh well, it was beautiful while it lasted.
- Leigh Nelson
  
  Well, we don’t really know who Kyle hangs out with yet, or what they are like. We just know that Kyle wasn’t ready to accept himself, that doesn’t mean his team is just as close-minded. However, I do agree that I expected the gentleness.

That is, in no way, the kiss of a pervert. This totally caught me off guard. So gentle.

Woooow, the look on Annihilator’s face. Wow. All I got to say.

  There are actually two answers, me thinks, I, therefore, claim 200 points ^^

Where did Anni’s left hand go from Kyle’s hair, I wonder. Wais…t? Hip?…
Anyway, must say I used to not really find Anni particularly attractive, all because of these cheezy villaneous expressions he kept on pulling all the time. But now… that he finally – and suddenly – lets it drop, and begins to at least seem to be a normal person… My, I am swept.
And – I was only now struck by the idea that maybe he doesn’t care at all for the whole hero-villain thing in regards to Kyle, that that was just a chat-up line kind of thing (which Kyle apparently does not suspect). And I’m hoping that he simply plainly likes Kyle, and that’s his way of doing things, and he’s not really that evil at all.

Also – without the smirks, Anni doesn’t look half as old. Or maybe he isn’t…

Meeeeeeeps. I dunno… something about this page is so creepy. And yet so hot at the same time. I’m totally confused right now! *whimper* But more keen than I’ve ever been to see where this is going. What on earth is he planning?!?!
Makes me wish I wasn’t so damn broke; I’d be able to donate towards a bonus page.
Alas… one month old twins are a major drain on the purse. -_-

I might be totally wrong, but I had the feeling it might not be so easy for the annihilator to find people to be close to like this. I mean with him being a supervillain-type-a-guy who is super strong, fast, etc. At least Kyle understands what it is to have superpowers. (At least I’m guessing that not everybody in their world has x-menesque powers) But this might just be me overthinking stuff again

Sooo… I just now noticed that Kyle’s pants are a different color on this page? Huh. Strange.
http://twitter.com/RejaTiberi Reja Tiberi

This page is actually ridiculously beautiful. I just love how Kyle’s expression changes from panel to panel. He looks so scared at first, but by the end of the page, he’s so… comfortable. All I can figure is, there must be a hell of a lot of emotion in that kiss for Anni to be able to smash Kyle’s defenses like that. It’s not exactly a cakewalk setting a guy like that at ease.

And suddenly, Kyle looks a lot less reluctant. Of course, it could just be about making Annihilator “believe it,” but on the other hand…
http://kungfunurse.livejournal.com/ kungfunurse

Look at those eyes – there’s a part of Kyle that’s completely on board with this. I love the subtle hints that Anni is just making his opening moves in this game of chess – methinks he wants MUCH more from Kyle than just a kiss – and only some of what he wants is going to be this enjoyable.

Also a shout out to the artists – a webcomic is as dependent on it’s artists as its writers, and the glorious way the expressions tell whole paragraphs of the story without words is truly remarkable. Bravo all around!
