I think you are absolutly right here.. it always was Justins way to deal with problems.. he ran away.. that was like a red thread through the whole show.. and Brian wanted him to stay so he gave in with proposing to him.. but when Brian changed so much that he prefered cuddling befor sex, I think that was were he realised that he didn't want to go through with it. and Brian knew exactl what buttons to push to open Justins eyes.. after that they both were back at the same page again. Finding the rings not returned again made Justin realise how serious Brian took it to make him happy, but also made him realise that he already had what he wanted most. Brians love with or without rings. as younsaid.He realised Brian had given him already his biggest wish and he held the proof for that in his hands.. he wanted to asure Brian that he is not running away this time because he didn't get what he wanted with telling him they don't need vows

Agree with both of you.
Their love didn't need to be "proven" in a material/ceremonial way. It also wasn't the right timing.
I'm just hearing Brian's voice echo in my head, "That is
so like you! You don't hear what you want so you leave."
So true. Justin's still very young, though, and in the end that age gap -did- get to them, a bit, with Justin still needing to explore a bit more. Brian was pretty genius in getting Justin to see that marriage wasn't really what they needed - that they'd had it all along (yes Justin, he'll prove this to you
one more time...
).
Pretty realistic for someone younger and more into the romance idea of a relationship to be so insistent on
hearing "I love you" and needing affirmations that they can see. I noticed this in myself when I was younger - wanted to hear it and was big into the idea of marriage. Things have changed since I've grown - I realized that sometimes people who say, "I love you" the most are the ones who actually don't
show it at all. Brian was all about showing it.
Though they didn't get married, I feel very satisfied that Brian got to the point of doing whatever it took to keep Justin happy/around, and Justin realized afterall that it was just
Brian that he wanted/needed. That itself is super romantic.
