I like the slow and easy way they are "silently" negotiating this relationship. Ron hints at moving in then Brian explains something (Brian explains!). Ron throws out an idea and Brian responds.

I thought it was interesting that Brian had already thought about selling the loft. The house will be a big step as well.

I'm very interested in seeing how Ron convinces him to move to LA.

Well, I think getting out of the loft isn't a stretch --
It's a place he was ready to leave behind. So maybe it's
time to do so.

Gael, why do you think that Brian wants to get rid of the loft ( ... )

gaedhal April 22 2006, 22:13:20 UTC

I think that's part of it -- it's a lifestyle that
he's moving away from. There IS no "room" for Gus,
really, especially as he gets older. It's a "fuck
pad" as Jennifer so aptly puts it. Brian no longer
needs only a fuck pad -- he needs a real home.

This was a very touching chapter. I like how you incorporated canon into the story to interweave the pros & cons of leaving Pittsburgh.

gaedhal April 22 2006, 19:38:36 UTC

I think a transition period after what Brian went
through is right -- he's searching around for something
he can hang onto. And it isn't doing it for him in
Pittsburgh.

That's definitely how I see it in this fic. It comes across quite well.

I must applaud Ron, here. Clever and insightful way to get Brian to consider what is left for him in Pittsburgh and to realize the options, much better options IMO, elsewhere.
Still loving this story very much, Gael, thank you for continuing. I have great hopes for this couple.

This is an older and wiser Ron than we saw in "QT" --
he isn't pushing Brian, he's dropping hints that are
pretty obvious, but also realistic.

And Brian's thinking things over.

Very subtle Ron. Still, Brian needs the thought of maybe living in LA with Ron growing in his mind to actually consider it for real.
Like was said before I like the easy banter between them. I wonder if they'll make it to the parties or if they do how long they will attend.

Ron has to let Brian think it's HIS idea -- LOL!

wordsalone April 22 2006, 20:34:06 UTC

But Brian closed his eyes and sighed as he slumped even
deeper into the bubbling tub. "Five more minutes, okay?"

I loved this. It makes Brian sound like a young boy.

I like that Ron is making his intentions clear without badgering Brian. That's the last thing he needs. And Brian seems open to the idea, at least a little bit.

I think Ron is one of the few people Brian can let
see that "young boy" -- maybe Deb and Michael are
the only others.
