You and I have memories, longer than the road the stretches out ahead...

Where on earth was Paul? John had literally searched everywhere - under the beds, in the bath tubs... he had even looked inside the fridge out of desperation. Still, Paul was winning the game of hide and seek.

Angrily, he went out of the bedroom to check the room next door for the thirteenth time, but he was interrupted by a muffled snigger from behind the curtains.

John grinned. Silently, he tiptoed over to the window before pulling the fabric aside, making Paul almost jump out of his skin. He led out a little yelp and leapt off his perch in the window to try and escape John, running towards the door.

"Oh no you don't!" Shouted John; and gave chase, leaping over the bed and tackling Paul to the ground playfully. They rolled around on the floor, fighting like puppies for a few minutes before they both simultaneously stopped and lay down on the carpet, exhausted.

"We'll always be together, right?"

John cocked his head sideways to look at Paul curiously. "Hmmph?"

"Will we always be together John?"  He blinked his big brown eyes worriedly.

John reached over and grabbed Paul's hand. "Of course we will Paulie." They lay there for a few minutes, staring at the ceiling.

Three Years Later

Paul glared at Yoko, who was sat virtually on top of John. Paul was sat at the drum kit because Ringo was "ill"; and now he was watching John and George argue over how a certain guitar part should end.

"If you keep criticising me, I won't play at all." Snapped George grumpily for the twentieth time, only to be met by a torrent of insults from John.

Paul sighed and leant backwards, twiddling his drumsticks around. He caught Yoko's eye and she gave him a competitive glare. It was like she taunting him: "John loves me more than you."

The thought filled Paul with jealousy and he got up and sat down next to John determinedly. He was given a slightly funny look by Yoko but he ignored her and spoke quietly to John "Can we have a moment alone, please?"

Grudgingly, John got up and walked out of the room with Paul, leaving George with Yoko. When they were out of the studio, Paul turned to John and spoke to him in a strained voice.

"John. Do you remember three years ago when you promised me you would love me forever? John?" John was avoiding his gaze and staring hard at the corridor wall.

"John!"

Reluctantly, John turned to meet Paul's gaze and replied in a gravelly voice, "Yeah. I do remember."

"Why didn't you keep that promise to me? You're mine, not Yoko's. She walks in... and... and... she's stolen you from me!" Paul was nearly crying.

"Paul, shut up!" Shouted John suddenly; and Paul was shocked to see the gleam of tears in his eyes. "I do love you, okay? But Yoko..." He trailed off miserably.

Paul glared at him, suddenly filled with anger. "Yoko what? Has she been by your side your whole life? Has she always been there for you like I have? Was she there for you like I was when Julia died?" John flinched; and Paul suddenly felt a rush of guilt.

What was he doing? How had he managed to reduce John Lennon into flinching away from him? "John..." he stuttered, "I'm sorry... I shouldn't have said that." When John didn't reply, Paul leant over and grabbed his hand.

"I'm sorry John. I... I love you too much."

John stared at Paul for a few seconds before pulling him into an enormous hug. "I'm sorry." He sobbed. "I love you too Paulie, I always will. And Yoko... I'll never love her as much as I love you; and I don't say that often enough."

They stood in the corridor, hugging like their lives depended on it, before going back into the studio. Yoko looked up at John expectantly, but he pulled up a chair and sat down next to Paul instead. Paul couldn't help but smirk at Yoko and he saw George roll his eyes at him playfully.

No matter how much John loved Yoko, Paul knew that really, deep inside, he belonged to him.

The End
