Re: The Kiss
that is a good question. I don't think i can answer it yet. I think I will come back to as I progress through this.
I think it happens in big steps, it is so tied up in Brian's ability to trust, to believe in love, stemming, of course from his fucked-up up bringing. I think Justin coming back in season 3 is a huge step forward in his ability to trust and believe it in it. i think there is another of those moments in the "fucking chicken soup" scene. I think it happens again when justin comes back from LA.
but i think it's more complicated than just this. brian's issues are more complicated. it's not just about him trusting justin it's also him trusting himself. and other shit. ok SUN lol.
