Why this must be read: I love, love, love this story! It is just absolutely adorable. Brian and Nick have an odd way of communicating, if you can call it that. Three short scenes give us a glimpse of their relationship, the camaraderie, the excitement, and the nostalgia. Lots of story in very few words, proving that less definitely is more.

...They never did talk about what they were doing, a fact that seemed strange in retrospect but perfectly natural at the time. They didn't talk about the way they finished each other's sentences, either, or the way they kept an eye on the other's candy stash and topped it up when it was low.

That gleam Brian would get in his eye that meant Nick would soon be clutching at him, coming for him, mindless -- Nick thinks he still sees that gleam sometimes, when he's peeling out of leather pants at a photoshoot, when he walks out of the shower in waterdroplets and a towel, sees it there but muted.

Mostly, but not always, he turns away....
