Summary
“George?” Paul’s voice again, a far too-innocent tinge to it.
“Yes?” he said helplessly, turning around to discover that Paul had fetched the sitar and was sitting cross-legged on the floor, the instrument in his lap, with that damn smile still stuck to his face.
“Will you help me learn how to play?” he begged.
It sounded harmless enough, was probably harmless enough, but for whatever reason George felt like he was in grave danger.
The Beatles all display insane levels of jealousy and possessiveness whenever they feel like a member is becoming too invested in something/someone else. This results in heavy flirting, fun shenanigans, childishness, and the odd misunderstandings.
Each chapter will focus on a different main character.

Summary
Something ticked in Paul’s mind as the familiar words washed through him. When he looked at John, his friend was already looking at him. And suddenly, it all became clear: He remembered having that conversation more than 50 years ago. He remembered it too well.
He had been thinking about it for years, wondering what he should have understood, how he should have reacted. If it was as meaningful as it had felt or if his memory had just romanticized it.
“I don’t think a love like that obeys to any rules,” John went on, unaware of Paul’s agitation. “It’s not something that humans have created, not like a societal thing. It’s deeper than that, and that’s what some people are afraid of I guess, because they can’t control it. Whatever laws they create, they can never control it. A white lad will fall in love with a black girl.” He paused. “A lad with another lad. You know.”
