Summary: John and Harold spend a lot of their relationship in a strange dance-John follows, holding on as Harold retreats out of a misguided notion he's doing them both a favor. John is starting to get dizzy though and his heart is tired, but he keeps holding on because the thing that scares him most is letting go and losing Harold. Eventually he has to let go though because even he can be hurt too much.
There have been too many mistakes made, too much hurt spread around, but Harold is determined to fix his greatest mistake to date. When he nearly loses John in the most permanent sense of the word his entire world is shaken and his walls begin to come down because this is life or death because John is the thing Harold has been bereft of. John is the human element and that makes him absolutely everything to Harold.
