Why this must be read:

It's just an ordinary day helping the police track a serial killer, except that Johnny is getting some rather personal visions from his best friend along the way. It's a surprise, but not an unpleasant one. I Have Seen is classic UST, with flashes of the promise of more to tease the reader as much as it teases Johnny.

Bruce drives Johnny home and brushes against him as Bruce reaches for the radio while Johnny puts on his seatbelt. It's not like every touch leads to a vision, but today Bruce is like a TV set. A TV set showing gay porn, Johnny thinks. Really hot gay porn, he thinks smiling, watching as Bruce pushes the other man onto a twin bed, white sheets. College. Or when Bruce was studying physical therapy, maybe.

Then it's over and Bruce is saying, "Johnny? You okay?"

Johnny smiles as he replays the pictures, "I'm fine." Bruce is pretty hot.

They watch TV at Johnny's house, waiting for Walt to call and reading through some letters Faith Heritage Foundation sent over. Johnny considers bringing up what he's seen, but it feels rude. Bruce hasn't told him, so it doesn't count. Maybe, Johnny thinks, he could bring it up obliquely.

It's one thing he won't be bringing up with Reverend Purdy, the weird affect the visions are having on his sexuality. Find yourself making love to men often enough and enjoying it and you start to think it's not so foreign or wrong. He never looks at men and thinks, "whoa baby," not the way he still looks at women. But he finds himself looking at Bruce.

He chalks it up to the vision and goes back to the letters, not letting himself touch any of them.

Thanks so much

Just what I need, another fandom. Thank you so much. Now I need to actually watch the show. So far I am liking Johnny/Walt, but I will give Bruce a chance and see how it goes. Thanks for all the recs - sometimes the small fandoms fade away after a only a couple recs.
