I agree in part- but i diagree that John doesn't love him as a potential lover so much as he knows it would not work out. I do think that if Stephan were ever to make overt overtures, John would be game, so to speak. -- LJG Discussion board

In reply to: kgp 's message, "Not the time nor place - nor the man. Interesting distinction. He recognizes the thrill of the flesh but also knows that it is not a good fit, both for himself and because of Stephan's recent situation with Weber and unacknowledged orientation. I think Stephan at this point in time would be destroyed, his world would be jolted. John loves Stephan but not as a potential lover. There is this moment of physical attraction - the 'ringing' as Brianna terms it in DOA - but that's not a basis for a relationship. John's own fragility here - because he is so upset over Percy's betrayal and lack of judgement as well as his own close call with Percy's fate?" on 08:43:18 11/01/07 Thu

Hmm, maybe. And maybe i"m projecting but I think John might be a bit gun-shy of a relationship based on physical attraction and not deeper friendship and committment at this point. (NT) -- kgp, 10:03:57 11/01/07 Thu
- I guess this is why I disagreed- because John and Stephan do have a relationship and caring for each other. Think of how this scene ends. (NT) -- Oleander, 10:57:37 11/01/07 Thu
  - They do, agreed, but it's only just begun to reach this level. Prior to this they had regard and liking for each other but the deepening of friendship starts to blossom here. It also makes me wonder a bit about John - is he really that easy? (NT) -- kgp, 12:19:11 11/01/07 Thu
    - LMAO! Well....maybe...John lives in a time where there is no openess and where fear of discovery and all of its implications make even inquiry or demonstrated interest very dangerous. Perhaps in a situation like this, I would be easy too... (NT) -- Oleander, 14:12:05 11/01/07 Thu
      - Take it where you can get it? He certainly seems in a hurry to get his mitts, etc on Percy. (NT) -- kgp, 15:55:48 11/01/07 Thu
        Well, in PM Percy drew him into the bedroom and stretched himself out on the bed. John wouldn't have been human if he could have just turned and walked away from this attractive young man who obviously wanted him. In a situation like John's these offers must have been rare indeed.
