    Summary

    Paul turns back, and his face is oddly drawn, pulled inwards like he’s fighting a sudden stomachache. “You and John didn’t— did you?”

    “No,” is what George says. “But I thought about it, sometimes.”

    Paul sags at the shoulders, a relief of sorts that’s not yet enough to stop him from digging. “I didn’t know you were interested.”

    -

    (Or: During the 1988 Traveling Wilburys recording sessions, George reflects on bandmates old and new.)

    Summary

    At the words, George glances up, wide eyed and open mouthed, and Brian thinks if Paul’s got the soft look of a deer, George has the knock-kneed one of a foal. All elbows and eyelashes – some fresh born thing still wet behind the ears and uncertain how its limbs work. It had surprised him when they’d met – so taken perhaps by the joint-front of John’s wit and confidence and Paul’s charm and maturity – to find this scrappy little thing behind them, but it’d been impossible to deny his skill with the guitar, just as it’d been impossible to deny John and Paul’s shared and individual affection for him (something he could certainly not say about poor Pete).

    -

    1962. Brian detours while driving George home, and things come to a head. Loosely based on the story from Bob Spitz' biography.

    Summary

    George sometimes feels like he’s on a merry-go-round, all the lights and sounds and people passing too fast. Nothing that lasts long enough to hold onto, nothing that ever stays in focus. He’s waiting for the inevitable halt, when he’ll have to step off, but he worries he’ll be so dizzy he’ll just collapse.

    The Beatles return to Hamburg in 1961. It's going to be good this time. George will make sure it is.

    Summary

    “I love you. I’m in love with you.”

    Paul has to close his eyes for a second. John’s gaze on him is too intense, too wanting, it makes him feel like he’s on fire. He tells himself that he must have imagined what he just heard.

    “What?”

    “I’ve been in love with you for ten years. Since we were kids. Practically since the day I met you.”

    Paul wonders why the hell John is telling him this. What could it possibly achieve?

    Or, John tells Paul that he loves him, and Paul's not ready to hear it. This causes a lot of problems for them both.
