Oh God, poor Paul!!! Now he's left behind with all those strange thoughts and feelings... :S And poor John as well, trying to find a way to deal with all his confusion.

This was an excellent chapter, I could totally feel the sexual tension between them... I wish they just gave into it a little... just a little, a sneaky kiss or something. I loved when John kissed Paul's forhead (I have a strange obsession for forhead kissing), that was my favorite thing in this whole chapter... and also, how akward and intense everything became that they were in opposite sides of the room and with their backs to each other whlie trying the trousers... That was too cute in my mind...

Can't wait to see what happens next! :)

Aw, thank you so much! You never know, maybe they'll give in soon. ;)

Well, at least while John is out walking the streets, Paul now has time to sew his own pants. :) I mean, Paul isn't the type to just sit and worry. He'll be sitting, worrying, and sewing his pants. ... And sooner or later, one of them has got to man up and admit what's happening here.

"It's this city that's wearing us down," John muttered. Let's hope Paris continues to work its magic.

You are prophetic. ;)

Thank you so much!

Sounds like John - he would definitely run out, pout, and get drunk. Then he'd be all mean and nasty before he softened up.

And I agree with pivotalmoments. I think Paul should wash his hair, brush it forward, and go out with his newly sewed up pants, and find someone to flirt with! That ought to get John off the dime!

(Reminds me of that song from Rodger & Hammerstein's Oklahoma - Many a New Day. The lyrics are below. I have taken the liberty to alter the lyrics so as to be appropriate here. Ahem.):

Why should a man who is healthy and strong,
Blubber like a baby if his man goes away?
A-weepin' and a-wailin' how he done him wrong

[obstinatrix]

Haha, what an apt song. ;)

Oh, no, poor Paul. But I guess it's poor John just as well - it's a difficult situation for both of them, they both don't really know how to handle this.
I'm really looking forward to the next chapter - I'm curious about the conclusion that John might think about.
