In Elizabethan times, it was a sign of affection to bite someone's ear. I'm on a long shot here, but... Romeo/Mercutio? Using that fact?

And if no one knows Romeo and Juliet well enough, I'll take some Chris/Nick with ear-biting and hyperactivity.

Damn I feel guilty for requesting when I never fulfil anyone's requests. *bows and scrapes* Busy beyond belief. I will try to do better.

I'm no Shakespeare... but I'm intrigued!

I love Shakespeare and especially this play. i just went through the internet to refresh my memory but there may be some mistakes and such. it is short but I really wanted to take a shot at this. Hope you like it if not feel free to erase! Hee!

Whenever there was some time it was customary for them to meet, their form of greeting varied from a pat on the back to a firm handshake.

They had been friends forever and as such they at times forgot abput personal space and the taboo of two single men showing any outward sign of intimacy and affection.

Romeo, being son of a lord, seemed to forget about it most often. He wasn't used to being denied anything. It was most often that he, forgetting where he was, would greet his beloved friend Mercutio with a playful bite to his ear.

It never stayed innocent and playful though and that is why Mercutio insisted that it only be used when they were meeting in private away from prying eyes.

Romeo would forget many a time but fortunately for them no one paid them much notice. Society would always turn a blind eye to the love between two men as long as it didn't interfere with their lives.
