It took three hours to trek over the graveyard, to read the inscriptions and keep moving, another two to drive back to town.
Something in this sentence sounds so wrong. It took three hours to trek over the graveyard, read the inscriptions and keep moving, another two to drive back to town. Removing the two helps but... it still sounds so odd. I think the "and keep moving" is throwing me off.

"Places to go, people to fuck..."
See? That is the "can't settle down" Kyle, even if he meant it in joke.

to make Waco look like a children's birthday party
I love the comparison.

his eyes fluttered open in the harsh sunlight [add here: that] the thin motel curtains did nothing to dampen.

another point in why kyle can't get hitched! but anywho, unles "that's" is "that has" I don't that that is right.... and it certainly isn't "that it".

ajoke."
space :P

so sickly sweet Jon thinks he can actually feel his teeth rotting.
you keep putting some verbs in the present. Not only does it freak me out, it makes my grammar brain hurt.... ach, verbs!

awwwwwwww! They're so cuuuuuuuuuute! *gushes all over you* But really, the present tense hurts my brain. If it isn't incorrect, help me before my brain dies!

I'm starting to pick up on minor details you point out (like the paper bag being the closest thing kyle has ever come to gift wrap) that say so much about the character. I'm hoping seeing you do it will help me learn how to do it.

*dances* I'm not sure why? I like this one. Yes. Gooey.

Awww, this was so cute. I LOVE the Kyle/Jon thing and this was great....it also made me extremely hungry but I'll get over it. lol

They are just the cutest friends I've ever met. Though I've always wanted it to be a "more-than-friend" thing, it's turning out that even "just friends" is wonderful.

I love Prosthesis!!!

I want to be the #1 fan of this too! Everything you've put in here is exciting and new AND relates to Ch., it's like so freakin' amazing!

Keep it up Bradness!

Aggh... major tense issues.

But well written, all the same
