Kiss me. Can't here. A present from me (and K) to you

[hackthis_archive]

Many many moons ago, kattiya told me of a legend. The legend of James Dean and Paul Newman. Yes, pause. Breathe. The story goes that Paul Newman and James Dean did a screen test years ago for East of Eden, which you know, is a lot of hotass in one place, but the money shot being that they were involved. I was understandably dubious. And then I saw the clip below.

Whether the shenanigans went down before, during or after this test I'll let you judge, but let me tell you, I can't even call this UST. I know couples that don't ignite like this. In fact, let's call it, as kattiya says, "There is stuff happening." You cannot listen to Paul's nervous laugh, see the way he looks at Jimmy, or the way they mention *kissing* and call this straight.

The only straight thing here is the camera angle. Enjoy, babies.

There's a better version of the second half

So. Where is the slash for this? C'mon folks.

The first time I saw the clips I think I watched them 5 times. If you watch the first one and the linked one together the picture is even better.

The corker (for me at least) is that I watch Paul and all I can do is think of Brad and a nervous laugh. Shut up, yes, I know, Brad with a nervous laugh would be the most adorable fucking thing ever. And the way he would keep looking at Nate's mouth and Nate would blush, but it would make him really bold. Like James Dean is nothing like Nate, but the way James focuses on the camera like he just knows Paul is there, nervous and wanting him.

EVER. Yes.

Nate would have that physical shock of awareness, adrenaline spiking, all, Holy SHIT, Brad's nervous? Because of me?! And then he'd lick his lips, just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. And Brad would swallow. And Nate would lean in just a little bit more.

tell me a story about Brad's nervous laugh. is this a date that he thinks is a date and nate just thinks is drinks. oh, shit, the adorableness. Nate just in town to visit, sleeping on Brad's soft, completely driving Brad insane, the iceman is a big old puddle and then on Nate's last night they go out and Brad's all non sequiturs and nervous laughing, which makes Nate stare, with makes makes Brad laugh more, and then Nate leans across the table and Brad has to lean in to hear him and Nate's fingers brush against Brad's hand and he's like, Brad is this a date and Brad's like, um, um,

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Okay, I will think on this at the gym.

I even have a title.

tell me a story about Brad's nervous laugh.

Hah, I think I like your story better! I love it when Nate's the one minding his own business and being clueless (or... IS HE?) and Brad's all back to feeling like a teenager who stutters and has sweaty palms and doesn't quite know where to look, because looking at Nate makes his mouth even dryer and his palms even sweatier and he should really say something witty, or just say something period, because he's been staring at Nate for several more seconds than is socially acceptable, but all that comes out is this ridiculous giggle and Brad just wants to shoot himself.
