Summary
They were almost one organism, John-and-Paul, gravitating towards each other no matter where they were, sharing their own language of bumping shoulders and secret smiles and laughter, entire conversations passing through mere moments of eye contact between the two of them. Minds and bodies in perfect sync. They seemed to live in their own plane of existence, somewhere neither Brian nor little George could ever dream of inhabiting.
Brian watched in the rear view as Paul leaned against John’s side, yawning, jacket wrapped around his shoulders like a blanket. Watched as his head dropped down to John’s shoulder, his eyes slipped shut. There was something there, some special, unspoken trust. Brian wasn’t quite sure what to call it yet. Friendship felt too weak.Brian Epstein observes John, Paul, and George in the early days of the band.

Summary
“Okay, fine.”
The fight doesn’t leave John, but it does twist into annoyed confusion. “What?”
Paul shrugs. The fight does leave him: drains out of him like water out the bath, washes away all the adrenaline and laying bare the exhaustion underneath it. “Fine.”
If anything, that makes John angrier. “What do you mean, ‘fine’!?”
Paul misses his bed, misses Martha and Eddie and the lovely feeling of silence. He clasps one hand in the other, rhythmically squeezing, rubbing one thumb across the other forefinger. “I don’t know what you want me to say.”
[OR: Paul’s had enough of arguing.]
