Gah!!! You're so good at writing C/B. My OTP is C/A, but I always read your stories with pleasure. ♥

Whether it was because of his heartfelt words or his weight on Brian's groin, the blue eyes were no longer steely. Curt pressed his advantage, cupping the other man's face, his thumb caressing and smudging the rouge of a cheekbone. He lowered his voice to a husky whisper.

*Whimper* That was my favorite part.

Don’t perform us. I fucking love you, you prissy idiot. All the things Curt didn’t say but knew Brian had heard anyway. The Brit studied him for a few seconds before smiling charmingly.

Not gonna cry....not gonna cry...........bugger! Dunno why it made me cry but it did. *sniffles* especially that line. I can hear Curt thinking that and willing Brian to understand that what they have means that much to Curt

I'll just give up writing now and read yours I think (not that wasn't why I was crying.) You write so beautifully and with so little words.

Wow. Just...wow.

Embarrassing nicknames are part of the whole love thing

That line killed me, because I was very surprised to hear Curt using the "L-word" at all. I mean, sure. He loves Brian, no doubt. But I actually never thought he'd say it out loud. You really got me with that one, dear.

That's so sweet. The dialogue is fresh and clever and real, and you manage to make this humorous and sweet while still taking a serious emotional exchange and making it feel true. Good job!

*grumbles* Stupid LJ ate my first comment.

Let me paraphrase and say amazing, as per usual. I love the last few lines, and the fact that Curt is more aware of what they have and isn't afraid to put a name to it. Lovely.

I agree with what others said: it could fit in the movie pretty darn well! *sigh* Curt/Brian=Love

Damn, you write beautifully!!! I cannot BELIEVE English is not your first language. You certainly write better than many whose first language IS English- including me! Here is one of my favorite parts of your story, which I found 1) scorching hot - for Bri to suddenly come out and ask such a deliciously filthy question out of the blue, and 2) for Curt to not take the bait, but instead to respond as he does, in a way that lets him know that he takes his love for Brian very seriously and expects Brian to respect it as he does.

Lovely!


"I quite like it, actually." Brian tilted his head to one side, moaning as Curt worried his earlobe between his teeth. "Will you howl when you come inside me tonight? I'd like that."

Jesus! As if Curt weren't already throbbing with the mere scent of him. Then something occurred to the American and he pulled back to give Brian a no-nonsense look.

"Only if you promise to never make lyrics out of this."

Don’t perform us. I fucking love you, you prissy idiot. All the things Curt didn’t say but knew Brian had heard anyway.
