Hello and welcome to another Weekend Writing Warriors post!
Thank you to everyone who came to visit me last weekend! This weekend, I have another snippet from TAYRYM for you. I'll be at a BTS concert this weekend, so if I don't get to your post over the weekend, I will visit on Monday.
Set-up: In last week's snippet, Gwenodyn was still trying to convince Tayrym to share his secrets with her. I'm skipping a couple sentences to get to the beginning Tayrym's confession. Enjoy!
“I was going for a run.” He leaned his head on hers, hoping she wouldn’t leave when he told her the truth. “To the Defender barracks. There’s a few guys who play kickball there.”
“And you play with them?” She lifted her head up and stared at him. “What’s wrong with that?”
“I don’t play.” He ran his palms across his lap. “I go to watch.”
“And you play with them?” She lifted her head up and stared at him. “What’s wrong with that?”
“I don’t play.” He ran his palms across his lap. “I go to watch.”
Tayrym has dreamed of becoming a Galactic Defender since meeting the infamous Bryce when he was just a boy. Now an adult and awaiting the day cycle he is set to leave for training, Tayrym learns his long-time crush shares his affections. Now he's unsure whether he wants to leave, which dream matters more to him.
With the threat of being sent away for his sexuality haunting him, Guri kept his feelings for his former classmate to himself. Even with a new progressive ruler on Hemera, he still hides his attraction to the young man. But when he catches the other shadowing him, Guri decides to take a chance. The only problem is, the man of his desire is leaving the planet soon. Possibly forever.
With obstacle after obstacle in their path, will Tayrym and Guri ever have a chance to be happy together? Or are they destined to fulfill their dreams light years apart?
COMING SOON!

DeleteHe's working around to it. I wonder if she gets it already, or he'll have to say it. As she's a telepath, I'm guessing he won't have to.
ReplyDeleteLOL I'll reveal that next weekend. ;)
DeleteSneaking up on the truth. If she doesn't suspect by now, she doesn't know him at all.
