Aw, cuteness. But also, ouch, Bill, saying he loves Tom more than the other way around. That is indeed a low blow. You know, I think Bill has much more reason to apologize in this than Tom; but maybe it shows how much Tom does love him that he doesn't feel that way. There is conflict potential in Tom's decision to have the tattoo done, too - he's trying to make Bill happy, but who is Bill trying to make happy? - and I like that because it shows that relationships are never easy, and even love like that is not always perfect.

Oh, and this: Tom could take teasing and annoyance longer than Bill, but when Bill blew up and soothed down fairly quickly, it took longer for Tom to really lose his temper but once he did, he would burn for quite a long while. We need to discuss! :D Because I don't think I agree. I feel Bill would be above mean taunts way longer than Tom could stand to be, but when upset, Bill could probably hold a grudge until the end of time. We should totally get back to that when we next talk! <3

So happy you wrote this down, it's quite long too! Wow, all in one night?

Thank you <3 Yup, all last night, it just magically grew. But I'm glad it did, feels nice to write after a while, and I really like the way it turned out.

I guess the difference in their "mistakes" was that what Bill blurted out, despite its awfulness, was so plain ridiculous that neither of them took it seriously. Then again Tom's reaction of thinking Bill would use something as huge as this as a joke was a real reactin. But like you said, even they aren't perfect - the billandtom is still combined of Bill and Tom, two separate people no matter how close they are.

Honestly, I think both twins are pretty grudgeful. I see them to be a lot like me, actually: claiming to forgive but they'll never forget what people have done. I see Bill as someone who could give second chances easier, but if you get on the wrong side of Tom, you'll never move from there. Especially if it's someone who's been mean to Bill, I can imagine Tom would never forget that.

Hmm. Yes, I guess they both knew what Bill said to be untrue. Still, there are things that I think should never be said between lovers, no matter how angry things get, and doubting the other's love is a pretty mean thing to do even when it's just used as a taunt. Especially if it's just used like that, perhaps. But relationship dynamics are as different as the couples that live them :)

Yeah, the twins probably never forget. I don't think they're afraid to burn bridges either if they feel vengeful enough. But between them, I could see Tom relenting more easily because he seems so goddamn dependent on Bill. Bill has a core like a diamond, I bet you could chip away at him all you want and he wouldn't give in until he wanted to *g* Ah, those boys. <3333
