Argh, got to this way late after bookmarking it on my iPad and forgetting to reply, so apologies.

But GOOD GOD. This is just tender, intimate, awkward, downright hilarious perfection. It's all adjectives with nothing much else, I'm so gobsmacked by how well written this is!

Wonder what Bryan and Aaron themselves would think of it :D

Oh, wow--thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it (hell, I'm glad people are reading it at all and not pelting me with things) and that you thought it was well done. And I especially loved the adjectives you used. :)

Wonder what Bryan and Aaron themselves would think of it :D

Can't even. O_O

I've wondered a lot myself what they'd think about it. They've sure done enough sexual joking over the last few years.

In terms of the sexual joking, pure armchair psychology ahoy: Bryan is like the warmest, most generous guy on the face of the planet and also I think he’s a bit of a latent homophobe. He's said and done some stuff in public that has struck me as less than enlightened. Aaron just loves everyone and doesn’t care, but also he’s happy to mess around with Bryan; that’s the only context where I’ve really noticed him acting like that at all. (I’ve not watched many of his media appearances over the last year or so, granted.) This is all also somewhat of a generational thing, and of course it's how many men tend to unconsciously work through the homosocial love stuff

Yeah, I don't think they'd care. I just more wonder
what they think about their relationship. I know they
love each other in a bromance way. (At least they've said
that.) They just seem to have such touchy feely chemistry
that goes beyond what I'm used to seeing with male
friends. Of course women like me love this.
I read that Bryan did something or other in support of
gay marriage so I don't think he's a homophobe really.
He probably was trying to be funny cuz he has
that sort of frat boy sense of humor sometimes. (Normally
I hate that sort of thing, but since it's Bryan, he can
do no wrong in my eyes) Anyway, to me, "Breaking Bad" was
like a romance between Jesse Pinkman and Walter White. I really have
never seen anything quite like it. I just wonder what their thoughts
would be about all that.
