   Summary

   John Deacon faces loosing everything he has because of complications with the heart condition he has had since childhood.

   How will the band deal with this? How will he deal with this? And why does he keep thinking about Roger's pretty eyes?

   -----

   Or, John gets really sick, is a stubborn ass who doesn't want help and the band protects him anyways.

   Ohh and he falls in love with Roger in the process.
