Why this must be read: Mostly, this should be read because it makes me believe, for the first time ever, in the awesomeness of Nick/Brian. It's beautifully written and perfectly characterized; there's this gorgeously aching tone floating throughout the fic, that sort of longing feeling when you have something but it's not really the right something, but it'll do because there's nothing to lose, really. JC is perfect in this. Weird and sexy and so very JC. And for the first time ever, I think Brian is more than just a cute, funny guy. He's sexy and he and Nick are soinlove and it is the only thing that makes sense in Nick's world.
You haven’t seen the sun in days.
When you wake up it’s like this: blink once, blearily, as the evening falls; run dry hands through blond hair; scratch scalp; turn over and curl up for another hour, or two, or three. Sometimes you go clubbing, if you can drag yourself to the shower. Sometimes, most of the time, you pad around the hotel room, wondering why you stayed to see a white Christmas in New York when the green Christmases in L.A. are all you wanted. It’s 9 am and the curtains have been drawn since you checked in four days ago.
The Boys are gone. Busy, of course—it’s holiday season. Kevin with his life and his baby, Howie on a Lupus cruise with his bride and two hundred fans, AJ and his new brunette picking out a puppy as a Christmas present, and Brian, of course, in a living room with a crowd of golden haired perfection. Busy as bees.
You’re not bitter, you think. Tired, and lonely, and a little jealous, yes, but you wish them all the best. They can’t help the fact they have people in their life they love and trust.
You’re not bitter. Just tired.
You head back to bed.
