Well, of course. It's juxtaposition; it just makes the sweet stuff more meaningful!

In defense of Blurry Brian, though, I think you can be supportive of a friend without having to support all the bad decisions your friend is making... and if there's a lot of that happening, sometimes you do need to take a step back to avoid getting caught in the crossfire yourself. Especially when you're trying to establish yourself as a Christian music artist and your friend is dating Paris Hilton and getting DUIs. Just saying LOL.
Without knowing what was really going on between the guys behind the scenes during that period, I'm not sure Brian or any of them could have done much to help Nick, other than set a good example. Nick needed to make his mistakes and learn some life lessons the hard way; that's just part of growing up. I'm glad he did.

Agree with everything. (Am I a bad fan if I say that I still haven't see Blurry Brian? lol). Though I'm convinced that the main reason why he took a step back was Baylee. No matter how much you want to help and support your friend, your son comes first and I doubt anyone would ever put a baby in that kind of mess.
At the end, that's why I love Brian and Nick and their relationship. They've hurt each other and they still are best friends. It's an amazing thing.

Nick and Brian seem closer these days than they have in awhile. Still not quite the same as Frick & Frack, but not so distanced either. I think the fact that Nick has finally grown up and settled down helps a lot. It's probably just a lot easier for he and Brian to relate to each other than it was when Brian was getting married and having a kid and Nick was still running around getting himself into trouble. I think that's where their age difference was most apparent, when Brian became an adult and Nick was still being a kid.

They don't differ that much. I don't write romance between the guys and a female character and, as well, I don't read stories like that. The only thing that differs is sex scenes. While I do read them, I can't write them. It doesn't matter slash or het, I just end up embarrased when I try to describe those scenes. I always end up with describing the emotions or sensations.

LOL I wanted to ask you about that when I was writing my little slash one-shot. Aside from all the giggling I did while I was writing it, what I found most awkward when I was originally writing it in third person is that I felt like I had to keep using the characters' names to make it clear who was doing what to whom because it was confusing with only male pronouns - he/him/his. I haven't written that many sex scenes, but when I have, it's been with a guy and girl, so it's easy to describe what's happening without using their names in every sentence. It was a lot better once I switched to first person so I could use "I" instead of "he" for Howie, but yeah... it was still pretty awkward LOL. The emotional part was a lot less uncomfortable to write, but I guess it's always been that way for me, even with het relationships.
