I would never call Brian a poor scared birdie *lol* - I would call him helpless in this situation, helpless when it comes to relationships. It's not only Justin, he's always very helpless and often overcharged, because he barely allows himself to be weak and to admit, that he needs help or that he needs someone.

Here it's Justin, yes.
And yes, Brian never broke the rules... I'm totally aware of that and I always loved him for that. But that doesn't mean that those rules were perfect or easy to live for Justin. IMO those rules were very Brian-friendly.

New rules or... some more rules are just a kind of developing, at least for me :) It doesn't mean that Brian did anything wrong with the old ones. This talk is all about "What do you want? And what do I want? And are we able to find a way, a compromise?"

Thanks for reading and thanks for your comment and for sharing your thoughts. And yes, the next chapter will be pure B/J ;)

Deutsch is a very difficult language IMO.
