DNF at 10% because:

Issue nr 1:

We are talking about a gay couple having an issue that their adopted son is gay. Are you kidding me?



“I know. But…it’s so weird. I mean, your parents are two gay dudes. How can they possibly be upset that you’re gay?” “I don’t know,” he replied. “They’ve never said anything to my face. But every time I brought up being like them, they’d just say crap like, ‘Oh don’t worry about it. It’s not something that’s going to happen to you.’ Like being gay is something you catch.”

“Prom. With Ben?” Isaak was pacing the living room while Cedric sat on the couch, one foot up on the low table. He’d mentioned the dance to his fathers, and while Noel didn’t have a problem with it, he told Cedric to ask his Vati, and Isaak was bothered. “You don’t have a girl you can take?”

Noel’s voice was exasperated and tired. “You honestly are trying to tell me that you think him playing piano makes him gay?” “I’m telling you I think if he’d been better exposed to normal boy things as a child, he might not be inclined that way. I’m not going to sit here and be okay with this.


Issue nr 2:
Cedric is blind but he can assess height, weight and age by the sound of someone's voice.


"The other scoffed, and his voice was a little deeper, sounding a year or two older."
"By the sound of his voice, Ben was taller than Charlie, and larger overall."



Issue nr 3:

“Pleased to meet you. Would you like to go for a coffee?” Swallowing, Nicolas knew he had very little time to waste, so instead he eyed a nearby supply closet and with purposeful movements, yanked Dimitris inside. He slammed the door, twisting the lock, and turned around. It was hardly bigger than a broom cupboard, but there was enough room to move, which he did as he dove for the zip on Dimitris’ jeans."

"With careful fingers, Nicolas freed the hard length from the confines of the boxers, and took a moment to admire it. He’d only really explored his own, and this one was shorter, but with more girth. His balls hung low, and a mass of dark curls surrounded the entire thing. “I could write an entire aria to your cock,” Nicolas muttered before he bent forward to take it into his mouth. Being that this was his first time, it was awkward."



Spoiler alert! He does write an aria for that cock....

Issue nr 4:
Cedric is blind but the moment he touches the piano he can play Fur Elise.
At 5 Nicolas can play complex piano concertos without having any lessons. At a grand piano that existed in his room. A grand piano his mother had no idea existed in her son's room.




Dammit, I really wanted to read a good MM story with classical music. Do you have any recommendations?
