First of all--thank you! Im so glad you liked it! And I appreciate your comments about the sex and the heroism, because man, if I got that stuff right, I'm rockin. *g*
The other part--I got the feeling that John is very much in love with Rodney here, right from the start, but is a bit afraid that Rodney is only in this for the sex. His willingness to do whatever Rodney wants, "Tell me what you want," John murmured, hot against his face. "I want to make sure you're getting what you--" , and the attempts to distract him and apologize with sex whenever they are having an argument seem a little desperate to me, like he's really afraid of losing Rodney. --well, I obviously have an opinion about this, though I'm reluctant to bring it out, because your interpretation is entirely reasonable and mine is no more valid than yours, now: the words are what they are. But I'll say this much--I'm not so sure it's "love" right from the start, though you're bang-on with the neediness: John is, I think, totally desperate for what Rodney's offering. I just think that Rodney ends up offering more than John was expecting, and that John didn't see it for a while because he wasn't even looking for it. But your interpretation is as good as mine!
