You are making my heart so glad with this!!! I was so squee-ishly excited when I saw an update!!! And I was right along in the moment with Richard as he went through being captivated, then acknowledging his attraction, craving to know George's name and age, arguing with himself once he found out how young George was! I have not read Lolita but I adore that term faunlet, I'll have to remember and use it sometimes. Oh, if Richard gets with George, maybe it will mean nice safe places for him and not meeting strangers in risky encounters, dirty places---shades of Brian there. I wonder how much of Brian's life is Richard aware of? And having John work there as well! John following George around, casually getting around to asking his age, all for Richard's benefit!!!!! I just melted!!!! But at least John didn't expose and embarrass Richard for his feelings in front of George. I get so excited when I can look forward to love/sex scenes when I really care about the characters, and I already care about the way you've written and developed George and Ringo, I'm anxiously anticipating the time they finally come together, I'll love going the journey with them as they gradually discover and know each other, love the emotional investment and the build-up done with such care, I can't wait for more!! Thank you for writing this!!!

Aw gosh thanks so much. If the first chapter already excites you so much, I feel like I'm overachieving already haha.
Oh man, you definitely should read Lolita. It's very beautiful with it's strange philosophy and premise. It's a really captivating read. I actually just started out reading it as a joke with friends - like ha ha I'm reading a book about a pedophile aren't I cool - but the joke was on me when I loved it. Plus you'll learn all sorts of other weird terms like faunlet, your vocabulary will soar!
Ah yes, I love platonic John/Ringo so the only solution was to have John work there as well so I wouldn't have to go out of my way to figure out how to throw some in here. I'm glad you think it was a nice addition :)

Don't make me blush, eep. It'll be my pleasure writing this story, I'm sure. I've been wanting to write a story solely based around George and Ringo since I first got into slash, so hopefully it will all just come easily and the updates will be as quick as the beginnings of BHB's were!
