NOTES
This was part of the 2003 "While
we tell of yuletide treasure" obscure-fandom secret-santa
project, as a present for shalott. My thanks to S and elynross for betaing
under fire; the story is much the better for their input. The link goes
to the archive housing all the Yuletide stories (333, as of January 1,
2004), and is well worth checking out.

Fingers clenched around the neck of his beer bottle, he watched Johnny make him dinner. It was always Johnny, somehow. Everything he loved came from Johnny. Everything he feared.
Johnny had given him his family.
Johnny had let him keep his family.
Johnny had even joined his family, as rivalry turned to friendship, in spite of themselves.
It should have ended there -- but it hadn't. So he watched, and wondered if Johnny knew about the molten pool of need in his belly. Wondered if Johnny ever watched him.
God. I shouldn't be here.
Then Johnny turned, and met his eyes.
