Hello. This was requested by markysek4. Fair warning this is my first ever gay slash. I think that's the correct terminology. If it sucks I'm so sorry. This is an alternate universe. But onto the main agenda.

Beatle: John Lennon
Person: Brian Epstein

Walking around Bordeaux, France was like a dream. A dream he never wants to leave.

John Lennon was so mesmerized by the scenery he didn't see where he was walking and fell on top of someone.

"Oh, sorry." John shyly apologized.

The man he bumped into stood up. "It's okay."

"Oh!" John had to admit he didn't expect the man to be not French.

"Are you okay? Do I have something on my face." The man freaked out.

John jad to admit he did need to not seem so creepy. "Oh nothing its just you don't sound French or seem French."

"Oh, yeah. I'm originally from Liverpool but decided I needed a change of scenery. You probably don't care for my story. I'll just get going." The man started to walk away.

"Wait..." John stopped the man. "Do you wanna explore with me?"

"Okay but first I should introduce myself. Brian, Brian Epstein." Brian said.

"Oh! I'm John Lennon." John shook hands with Brian.

"He's kind of cute." Brian thought.

"Well, were would you like to start. We could see the cathedral or go to the theatre. There's a whole load of places we could go." John suggested.

"What about the louvre? We could take a train." Brain asked.

"But doesn't that take 2 hours or something?" John asked.

"Yeah. But I was thinking we could get to know each other." Brian tried his hardest to not let this nice, beautiful man escape his clutches.

"Okay." John walked side-by-side with Brian.

They walked there way to the train and paid for there tickets.

"Would you like the window seat?" Brian offered.

"No, you can take it." John sat in the middle seat.

"Okay." Brian sat at the window.

It was awkward at first but John broke the silence first.

"So... Brian what brings you to France?" John asked.

"Well as I said, I needed a change of scenery. Plus my life in Liverpool was very suffocating and troubling." Brian tried to conceal a secret that he's kept for years.

"I know I get it. I'm here because I'm here with me mate, Paul but he's a git and got tangled in a foreign love triangle." John sadly said, he hates when Paul never reciprocates or communicates.

"Oh, sorry. Are you with him or..." Brian comforted.

"Oh, no. I'm not like that. I don't mean no respect to them but I wasn't raised to be homosexual." John looked horrified. "I didn't mean it towards you or... I didn't mean it like that." John stuttered.

"It's okay. I take no offense..." Brian heard his words and tried to save himself. "Not that I'm homo or anything. I actually have a wife waiting for me, back home." Brian fibbed.

"Oh.." John said.

"Well, off that topic. What's your life like?" Brian diverted.

"Well, my father left me and my mum stranded on the albert docks when I was 5 and me mum died when I was 17. Car collision." John elaborated.

"Oh, that sucks. I was raised Jewish, my original profession I dreamed of being was a dress designer but my dad deemed that queer. So, I ended up running the music store up until three months ago. When I came here for some fresh air. I actually..." Brian paused and brought out his design book. "I actually have some designs I made."

"Oh! That's good. I would buy that for Cyn." John mentioned his girlfriend?, Cynthia.

"You have a girlfriend?" Brian asked.

"Uh... I don't know. We had a kid together but I never married her. Lets say were friends who briefly dated in the past and have a history." John mentioned.

"Oh. What's his name?" Brian was interested in every aspect of John's life.

"Oh." John took out a picture of his son. "This is Julian. He turned 2 about I'd say three weeks." John guessed.

"Oh. He's cute. Well, that's interesting." Brian sat back in his seat.

"Yeah. He's a handful and I see him every weekend and he stays at my house for a week w=every month and he's well taken care of." John said.

"Well..." Brian was about to speak more but was interrupted.

"We are almost to Paris." The train conductor mentioned.

"Wow! Funny how time flies." Brian laughed.

"Yeah. This was interesting and our trip has just started." John said.

"Yeah. We've only just begun." Brian said.

Hello. I wasn't going to post this until Tuesday but I finished today. Also, this will be continued in a later imagine because they need to at least end up saying they like each other. I know this probably is not what you were expecting. Heck! it's not what expected. It took a different path. But that is all. Hope this was satisfactory markysek4. I tried ma best. ✌🏼
