I read this two days ago and have been thinking about it ever since. The three things that stay with me the most:
Justin's beautiful like this, messy blond hair on Ethan's flat pillows, sheet rucked up between long legs, bare to the hip. Still flushed from sex, Ethan's fingerprints all over him, written in sweat and come and devotion, even if Ethan's the only one that sees them.
Good lord that's a beautiful image. Sexy, vivid, sweet. Just exquisite description.
The effortless, flexible roll of Justin's body as he took it up the ass, like it was nothing, like it was easy, like he was made to do nothing else, like he'd never *done* anything else
Guh.
But not just that. I love how you slowly reveal what's really going on with Justin, so subtlely that its clear that Ethan doesn't really get it - but we do. You slowly show me exactly why tonight, Justin "didn't want anything else."
and this:
He didn't know that their first time, Brian would come too soon Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!! That is just so...sigh. He totally would come too
( ... )

Yeah, poor Ethan was kind of mystified by the happenings in Justin's head there. It scares me how much I sympathize with him. *pets him* *carefully*
Double thanks for the lovely, lovely comments, chica. I'm glad you enjoyed the story!
Love this short E/J...I liked Ethan. I really did. I'm not a B/Jer, but I do read that pairing. This is elegant and erotic and elegaic. I differ with the fen-loved the ending. Of COURSE Brian is going to get botox, and then bullshit Michael about it. Does Ethan bottom for Justin all the time? This raises the issue of how much of a bottom J really is. I thought, although I don't totally agree that J would bottom for Brian and then top for other men, that this was handled well. Nice little fic. More E/J, please!

I've thrown around that idea occasionally myself. To be honest, I just can't see Justin consistently bottoming for Ethan. Just--no.
Nice little fic. More E/J, please!
*looks at you* I'm trying to figure out if I'm *that* sympathetic to Ethan....
He didn't know that it would be forever, that ten years later they'd fight about colors for ad copy and new tile for the bathroom floor and Brian being in denial about botox treatments.
This made my heart siiiiiiiiiiiing! ::goes to happy place::

Very insightful about Justin and Justin & Brian. It's nice seeing the Ethan POV (just because it's so rare). I like this a lot, thank you. :D
