ALL THE PRAISE <-- that there was gonna be the comment title, but apparently lj sucks
He wonders, not for the first time, how Tyler will respond to being called out on a con by the person he was pulling one over on—everyone has a slightly different way of dealing with it.
Obnoxiously long quote, but I just love how careful and analytical Nolan's mindset is. You really did a great job with his PoV. And I lovelovelove that he's not bad at reading people. He's awkward because he is, not because he doesn't understand people.
Nolan swallows—it’s harder for anyone to think quickly with decreased blood flow to the brain, even a genius—and takes a step back, freeing Tyler from his trap.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA
They’re really not so different, him and Tyler. He wonders if Tyler has picked up on it.
GAH, YES
Apparently one of them can still pull off blasé, it’s just not him.
Hee, made me giggle. And, to reiterate, awesome PoV work.
Yeah, and after that it's sorta a blur of intriguing powerplay and hottness. I love that the few T/N I've read (the ones you've given me, that is) have involved these two trying to assert dominance over the other because that is my kink in a nutshell. Aaand how you make it so that they're almost equal. Nolan holds out, but just barely. And how he's in control even though he's tied up!
