Wow, this was one roller coaster of a chapter. I loved how Nick and Brian went from semi getting along, to an outright shouting match, to trying to save each other, and then working their way towards and understanding. The argument was pretty believeable in the way that it escalated from the most well-intentioned words into something really ugly. Nick's rescueing Brian was kind of wonderful--and the spork shrive comment perfectly summed up his conflicting feelings at that moment. I also enjoyed and appreciated your description from Brian's p.o.v. of the character of the bar they entered and how he felt so exposed and out of place.
I'm so glad you posted this and the next chapter close together. I don't think i could have handled the suspense of the last moment of this one if I'd had to wait. ;)

Author's Response: I feel like most arguments that happen between friends start from a seedling of misunderstanding and grow-grow-grow until they become this sort of monster. I think a big part of them getting into the conversations they did in the next chapter was born from Nick's realization that he cared about Brian enough to react so strongly to somebody trying to hurt him. He knew Brian would be out of place, that's why he chose that place, and yet when Brian's out-of-place-ness actually got him into shit, Nick stepped in quick. If that chapter had been reversed in POV, we would've found Nick standing a little ways off watching Brian and feeling bad for making him so uncomfortable in the first place. This scene was one of the ones that drove the whole storyline - Nick getting punched in a bar and Brian dragging him to a restroom to wake him up.

Oh wow. I hope Nick tells him what it was that did it. I really want to know what he had wanted to tell Brian that night.

Glad Nick saved Brian from being hit.

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!
