    Summary

    You’d catch a glimpse of him on the way to school and it’d be tinted with a lick of superstition — the internal acknowledgement you might save for a magpie in the distant hope of good fortune.

    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.

    Or; a soulmate au where your body mirrors the body of your soulmate. Any cuts, bruises or scrapes one gets, the other will also receive on their body. Of course, no one believes in that anymore.
