Chapter Nine
John and Paul stays alone. On the cemetery, in the middle of the winter. Delicate snow starts falling. Lennon shakes slightly from cold. He already forgot how is it like to feel coolness.
"Do you want my jacket?" Paul offers and John only shrugs.
Macca takes it off and throws on his friend.
They stay in an awkward silence for a while.
"Paul... Thank you"
"Don't thank me, without the guys it would never happen"
"I thank for something more... I wouldn't say that being dead is bad but I don't wanna leave this world just yet... and you, of course"
Paul nods. "I see"
"And Paul?"
"Yes?"
"I'm sorry about everything..."
"You don't have to, I should..." He doesn't finish because Lennon walks over to him, stands on his tiptoe and then kisses his forehead. After that he turns around heading to the car. McCartney freezes for a moment, trying to understand what has just happened. He feels warmth on this place on the forehead. He jerks and catches Lennon's hand.
"Wait!"
John gives him mysterious look.
"I mean... I..." Paul muddles up with his words but finally he sighs and hugs his friend unsurely. "Don't go just yet..."
"Alright"
They stand together, cuddling. Their faces just few inches away, their breaths mix but Paul has no courage to look Lennon in the eyes. Both of them don't feel cold anymore. Wind stopped and now the only sound is beating of their hearts.
John runs a hand through Paul's hair. After a while he notices a single tear on friend's cheek. Bassist's face is still uninvolved though. Revived man wipes it away with his thumb.
"Paul..."
"Why does this have to happen? All of this..." McCartney asks almost whispering.
"I don't know, Macca. But I wish I do..."
Moment later Paul takes the courage, leans forward and dabs John's lips unsurely because he's still afraid of rejection. But nothing like that happens. Lennon catches his shoulders and deepens kiss instead. Minutes pass. They stand on the cemetery kissing.
Macca can't believe this is really happening. This is what he dreamed about for so many years. He hugs the other man desperately, as if it was just a dream which he can't let to end. He wishes that this moment could last forever.
Lennon's heart bits faster as well. His entire stomach is spinning.
They do not know how long they stay like that but finally they pull away, not knowing what to tell nor do.
"Johnny? Does it..."
John wants to say 'yes' but he starts kissing him passionately again instead. After that he nods slowly.
Shy smile brightens up bassist's face. He barely hears John as he says him to come back.
They did it. For real. Paul never really believed it but it's true.
It doesn't matter how short they can see each other during the day. The only thing that matters it they can be together. The only thing that matters is John. His John.
Man puts his arm around Paul as they walk towards the car. Lennon takes it away when they get nearer, he has no choice.
The four got into the car. Paul looks in the window all the time, for a first time in a long time feeling really happy.

At George's guys starts preparing party. Harrison's in the kitchen making something to eat, Ringo's supposed to go out for some alcohol. Paul stopped him though.
"Maybe I'll go with you?"
"No need, mate. I'll manage it" Starr says as he goes out.
John and Paul stay alone again in awkward silence.
"Johnny, does it... does it mean that we..."
"I don't know, Paulie..."
"I guess you think I've gone mad" Macca laughs nervously.
John gives him a serious look. "Unearthing and reviving my body? Yes. Confessing your love to me? No. And even though... I think I'm mad too"
Paul opens his eyes wide when what he heard becomes clear. Does... does John loves him back? Not too long ago he said they're just friends. But now everything's changed. He moves closer so they sit side by side. He looks Lennon deep in the eyes preparing words his gonna say.
"I love you" McCartney says once again, quietly.
This time though, after long moment, he hears answer.
"I love you too, Macca" Revived man closes his eyes, surprised by words he just said. And words he really meant. How could he fall in love so fast? Well, there's no point in fighting... It's better to just let it be. He pulls Paul closer and kisses him passionately.
Macca doesn't wait one second with response.
John practically lies on top of McCartney, not separating their lips even for a moment. He feels like he was longing for it his entire life.
At the same time Macca's mind is only able to scream one word. John! John! John! He can't believe this is actually happening. There is no doubt now though. John is his. They submerge themselves in this amazing feeling. Kissing and running hands up and down one another's body. There's nothing really matter now, nothing except John's mouth on Paul's, nothing except Paul's hand under John's shirt.
Suddenly there's a loud slam and sound of steps when George and Ringo enter the house. The bassist opens eyes wide, roughly pulled out of his state of euphoria and brings back to reality. He fiercely pushes of Lennon, who falls to the floor and breaks his glasses.
"Shit" He cursed.
They both breathe heavily, all red. They have only few seconds before their friends will come.
Macca sits on the sofa as if nothing happened and mumbles apologies. John holds his glasses in hand.
"We're back!" Geo and Ringo enter the room and look at lying on the floor Lennon with surprise.
"What happened?" Asks George amused.
"I fell" John tries to keep a straight face. He fell, of course, but off of McCartney.
Fortunately, Starr and Harrison do not seem to have any suspicious.
"So there are minuses of having body, eh?" Richard laughs.
They star to prepare the party. McCartney is amazed at the way in which things have gone. Behind friends back Lennon sends him a kiss, winking. Paul smiled widely and joins the rest.
They have great time all together. Everything is like good, old times. They sing old Beatles' song and then, in the middle of All You Need Is Love, John disappears.
