QAFUS ramblings...

out_thereYou know, I found one of the hottest scenes in QAFUS to be last week's flashback/memory of teenage Mikey and Brian almost getting it on. I can't help wondering how differently things would have turned out if Deb hadn't interrupted. Would Mikey have gotten over his crush/obsession regarding Brian? Or would he have turned out to be a slightly less "oomphy" version of Justin, just another guy following the Brian Kinney approach of screw 'em and leave 'em?
Of course, there's always my favourite theory that he would have been able to get through to Brian, and that just maybe, Brian would have still been young and impressionable enough to be influenced. Yep, I'm a Brian/Mikey fan. In this ideal world, Mikey would have realised that you can't expect to alway rely upon Brian to always have the answers (which he does - he doesn't expect Brian to have the right answers, but it's just assumed that Brian always knows what he wants and how to get it, and always has an opinion on everything). Mikey would have grown up a bit, become a little more mature and self-reliant, and stopped the constant clingy possession (ie. his mom, his friends, his room, etc). Ideally, Brian would be able to depend on him on occasion, and this might allow Brian to relax that stranglehold on control (get rid of that need to always have the upper hand and the ability to walk away).
So I'm just going to go do some work now, with the though of more confident, content characters: a mature!Mikey and vulnerable!Brian...
