Why this must be read: In Everwood, everything almost always gets shot to hell when someone starts talking. No one tries to understand because everyone else is either wallowing in their own angst or they perceive that everyone else is on the offensive. Like with Andy and Epram, or Ephram and Amy, or Bright and Harold. In some ways, this reminds me of what Joss Whedon said about the Buffy episode "Hush" where everyone couldn't speak -- that people had a hard time understanding one another when they were talking all the time but deprived of the ability of speech and without words to muck everything up, the characters get to the heart of the matter and begin to really communicate. That mindset is kinda like this...
Because words always get in the way when it comes to Bright and Ephram. It is very characteristic of these two: how the Ephram's wit can cut, how even the directness of Bright's vocabulary can wound. Even now that they're friends, it is still present in their banter (though without the anger and volatility of their earlier relationship). Here, the fic pushes the relationship into a different direction. Something less fraternal and even more confusing. And knowing that he doesn't have the right words, Bright seems to choose the perfect solution -- He lets his actions speak for him, as he tries to kiss Ephram. A lot. Until Ephram finally gets what Bright is trying to say.
He finally just ended up with his cheek almost pressed against Bright's chest, and no, it wasn't sexy at all, really, much to Bright's dismay. He'd expected for their bodies to sort of fall into place, but instead it felt awkward, stilted and wired. They were all the wrong angles for each other, and Bright couldn't find purchase anywhere.
He thought it was perfect.
Funny, sweet and surprisingly sexy, this is a wonderful story about two boys who are so different from one another, as they try to reach an understanding.
