Uh oh, something tells me Nick's not going to be happy!
I hope Brian gets better soon.

Wow, such a range of moments in this chapter... fulfilling and then so frustrating! It was so great to see both Nick and Brian at first actively working at getting along--and then ending up enjoying each other's company so effortlessly. The 'going to hell' part was good for closure, and the basketball game was fun, but the best part is for sure when Nick takes care of sick Brian. It's a good reminder that Nick has a gentle side, and I bet it'll be awhile before we see it again.
I just hope that Brian somehow manages to express that he doesn't *want* to quit; that it's a last resort, and that Nick is the one who gave him some hope that it didn't have to be that way.
Well, I'm optimistic. ;)
Really looking forward to the next chapter!
Author's Response: I feel like Nick taking care of sick Brian was a role reversal that doesn't happen often in stories. It's always Brian taking care of Nick. So it was kind of awkward/different writing Nick taking care of Brian. I literally looked up a scene in another story I'd written a while back where Brian was taking care of sick Nick and I had Nick mimic the stuff Brian did then, almost like he did what Brian always used to do for him. I wish I'd included a line like that in the story now to point that out that, like, the only reason Nick knew what to do to help was because it was what Brian had always done to help him in the past. Nick's learned a lot of who he is from Brian in this story and I feel like that is most evident in that scene.

Oh fuck. They shouldn't have frigin' emailed it, until they had Brian's consent to send it. People can and do change their minds. I had a sinking feeling that is why Kevin was calling him. Fuck fuckity fuck fuck. I really hope Nick doesn't flip out on him for it - Brian should've told him, but damn. They should have waited until Brian had told them he had talked to Nick because frigin' emailing the guys. Sometimes I feel their people are such assholes.
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!
