you were good friends with john, stuart and the rest of the guys, and you had been for a while now. but your relationship with john and stuart specifically was quite complex.

they both liked you. and it was hard, for they were best friends.

currently, you were at the cavern club with john and stuart, alongside some others (pete, paul, george, etc), all standing around, drinking and laughing when john made a move— he put an arm around you.

stuart raised his eyebrow in jealousy but tried to play it off coolly, by asking you if you wanted to go out for a smoke with him, “[user], wanna go out for a fag?”
