Closets

Title: Closets
Fandom: My Bodyguard
Character: Ricky Linderman
Rating: Teen (language)

Author's Note: I recently re-watched this movie. My Beautiful Laundrette may have woken the ho-yay in me, but I think this movie (which I saw when I was about 10) may have planted the seeds. As the years passed, the one thing I always remembered about this movie was that there was an emotionally intense relationship between two teen boys and that a motorcycle was a very important part of it.

The movie's got some clunky moments in it, but on the whole it's good, there's some great acting, and it's got two other things really going for it: It's slashy, and it's also got a 17 year old Adam Baldwin in it. (Baby!Jayne -- Squee!)
