John's decided that he's not going to sleep with Rodney, not yet, anyway-not because he doesn't want to, because he really, really does-but because he's a masochist, or because he's just plain scared of screwing up whatever they've got going here. So this is the plan: wait.
I absolutely love this, particularly as it's at the beginning of the story. It and the last paragraph make such a fantastic counterpoint, because in the middle is the comment about their trip, letting us know the dynamic of friendship and banter is there... and we all fill in the blanks of what they're up to while John tries to be patient. It's all we really need to see, peeking in, and it's just lovely.
I love how your comments are giving me the chance to think about these stories all over again. And poor John-I really don't think he lasts more than a few weeks. ;)
