Re: Brian/John (side of Robert)
Brian shook his head and brought a finger to John's lips. "Don't. We can't get any deeper. You can't make promises you shouldn't have to make. I know who you are. I've always known. No regrets, John." Despite how fucked up he was, he wouldn't and couldn't regret what they had. He refused to live life thinking of the 'what if'.
"Drinks would be nice, but I'll settle on water, and then a sleeping place. I really can't deal with anything tonight. Withdrawal is a bitch and it's happening whether I want to be sober or not." He turned his head, ever so slightly and kissed John's wrist. "Of course you missed me. I'm amazing." He almost delivered it in his normal tone, but his nerves were too shaken, his body too tense. "I need some peace for tonight, okay?"
