#and paul would get defensive like 'piss off! we were just talking 😠' and john would rag on him for basking in the attention

Of course I don't have factual basis for this but I would be really surprised if there weren't ever instances of John spotting some guy flirting with Paul and then flipping out and scaring him off

#in my mind it's like a combination of his fixation on paul's soft pretty sexy face and a chauvinistic protective instinct #plus probably a bit externalizing his shame for his own feelings #and paul would get defensive like 'piss off! we were just talking 😠' and john would rag on him for basking in the attention #but then later admit he was just disturbed by the thought of a fella putting his hands on paul and wants to look out for him #mclennon #john lennon #paul mccartney #the beatles
