Title: Perks

Series: This is an "outtake," I guess, from " People Come Around." It fits into that timeline in March and April. Therefore, it is also part of the Here's Us Together series

*glee* I love this series intensely, and this was a wonderful addition. I really like being in E's POV, because from outside his head, it's easy to assume that he's not as involved in the relationship as Vince is. From the inside, though, we get his affection and arousal and insecurities, and it all comprises an Eric who is very much present in the relationship and in love.

I love your portrayal of Vince's communication style. I can totally believe him purposely choosing times when E can't look him in the eye to say things that are important to him. And I grinned like a fool when he asked E to move in with him while they were falling asleep. In my head, he'd been working on how to bring that up for days, if not weeks.

You know, I've often wondered how they got to the tying-Vince-up bet in People Come Around. Thanks for answering that question. :o) Your description of the sex when E was the one tied up worked for me, because I so rarely read sex scenes that acknowledge that some kinks and scenarios just don't work out in a relationship. And it made such a strong contrast with the Vince-tied-up sex.

Other things that I particularly enjoyed: Eric enjoying giving the blow job too much for it to count as a forfeit; Eric mentally calling Vince a "lucky tall freak"; Vince complaining about E's clothes (because, really, that is a lot of layers).

Thanks so much for sharing this!

I admit, the question of why E is often wearing at least two T-shirts despite being in L.A. just vexes me.

I'm so glad this worked for you. I've been poking at a couple of outtakes from that series, because there are scenes in there (like that tied-up scene, and the earlier mention of Eric hating the story of Vince hooking up with a guy at summer camp) that have longer, bigger Vince/E scenes behind them. I've created a monster. And I firmly believe that part of Vince's communication style is a need to seem like he's equally cool about everything, which would lead to this lack of eye contact or seriousness when asking big questions. :)

Thanks, again. I always look forward to your notes.
