"I wanted to come here to see you," JJ sounded rather earnest. He hadn't really calmed down, but he wasn't shouting anymore. "I had all of these stupid thoughts in my head when I went back to Canada."

He sounded amused, and annoyed with himself. "That if I had gone through with asking you to come back to Canada with me, you would have never gotten hurt." Plus - at home - no one could have stopped what was going on between them.

He assumed Yuri wouldn't want to, so he never bothered. Again, making the choices. He never realized how many he made, or how many things he assumed of Yuri. He kind of wished he asked.

The smile he wore was forced and uncomfortable. "So no. Not nothing. Unless you're nothing."

Well, that was lame, he told himself.
