Daphne went inside Babylon and then ran down the stairs and stopped to inspect the place. She looked at her watch and took a deep breath. She looked back at the throbbing crowd and wondered where the fuck was Justin. She looked at the bar and smiled when she saw the blonde talking to some guy. Daphne took off running again towards Justin. “Justin!” “What the fuck?” Justin asked. “What’s with you?” Daphne smiled brightly at him. Justin gave her a suspicious look. “What?” “Did I ever tell you how happy I am that you are gay?” Daphne asked smiling. Justin smirked. “I’m happy too, Daphne.” “Well, umm, it is a very important thing that you are gay and you are my friend.” “Yeah.” Justin said leaving the word hanging in the air. “Because if I ever need you to go out with a guy so I can go out with another guy you would do it.” Daphne said like a little kid. Justin glared at her. “What did you do?” “I have a date.” “I think I’m happy for you.” Justin told her. “Well, there is this thing.” Daphne said. “Brandon has a brother who is dateless and he doesn’t want to leave him alone because he just moved here and guess what? He is gay.” “No.” “Justin, please I need to go out with him. He is amazing.” “I don’t think so.” Justin told her taking his beer and smiling at the guy he had been talking to. “I will not do it.” Daphne hugged him and kissed him on the mouth. The guy that had been talking with Justin shook his head and muttered something about not being into bi people. “What the fuck are you doing?” Justin asked pushing her away. “People are going to see you.” ‘”If you say yes I won’t hug you again or kiss you on the mouth.” “Daphne, you are going to scare them away from me.” Justin told her and glared at her. “If you leave now I promise I’ll go.” “Fine, I’m leaving right now.” Daphne told him. “But you promised.” “I did.” Daphne nodded and turned around. Once she was outside, she got in her car and dialed Justin’s number. “What do you want now?” Justin asked. “Well it’s eight fifteen.” “So?” Justin asked. “The movie starts at nine so be ready to get picked up.” Daphne told him. “Fuck! You little shit. If it wasn’t so hard to break in a new best friend, I would be killing you right now.” Justin hissed. “I know.” Daphne peeped. “Wait for me. I’m coming out.” “You are already out, Justin.” “Don’t be funny, Daphne.” Justin told her and hung up. Daphne waited patiently outside and smiled when Justin knocked on the window. She opened the door and let him in. “Daphne.” Justin said. “No! You promised so don’t look at me like that.” Justin closed his eyes. “Please, Justin. This guy is it for me. He is fucking amazing and he is so fucking hot.” “Daph.” Justin protested. “Please.” “Why can’t his brother just stay home?” Justin asked. “No, it’s his first day here and Brandon’s trying to take his brother out so he would forget about some things.” Daphne told him. “What things?” Justin asked. Daphne frowned and took a deep breath. “His parents died five months ago. He was living with his uncles but that didn’t work out.” Daphne told him. “Brandon says that he has become a little isolated and he wants him to have a little more fun.” “I don’t do pity.” “You don’t have to do anything. Just talk to him. We don’t want him to feel like a tag along.” Daphne hissed. “Fine god! You are getting so overworked for this.” Justin whispered. “I really like him Justin. I already told you that.” Daphne told him. “You so owe me big time.” Justin told her. “I know, I know. I just like this guy tons.” Daphne said while driving towards Justin’s apartment. “Whatever.” “I need to ask you a favor.” “If you were a guy, you would have a really big pair, Daphne. Your favor quota is done for the night.” Justin said dryly. “Yeah, but this is different.” Daphne said. Justin just stayed quiet. “Whatever you do, please, don’t fuck this guy.” Daphne begged. “Is he cute?” “Justin. No!” She ordered him. “I just don’t want you to get into trouble.” “Why would I get in any trouble?” Justin asked lighting a cigarette. “He is only fifteen.” Justin started coughing before he looked at her. “What?” Daphne asked. “I have given it considerable thought and I think a gay guy as a new best friend would help my sanity.” Justin told her. “You mean your dick.” Daphne said. “Daphne! You are setting me up with a fifteen year old kid? My friends are going to think I have gone nuts.” “Or depraved.” Daphne said giggling. Justin stared angrily at her. “Hey,” Daphne said. “It’s just so you’ll talk to him and he doesn’t feel alone. I don’t know any other gay people who would do this for me. Plus you were fifteen years old once.” “Eight years ago, Daphne. Michael is going to have a trip with this if he ever finds out.” Justin lamented. “Michael has a big mouth and you know who he is going to tell.” “I thought you didn’t care about him anymore. I thought you were over…” “Don’t say his name.” Justin warned her. Daphne nodded knowing it was a sin to say the name out loud in front of Justin. “I don’t care.” He assured her. “Fine then, here we are. I’ll pick you up later.” Justin nodded and got out of the car. “Daphne?” “Yeah.” “You’re my best friend no matter how much your brain is like Swiss cheese.” Justin told her. “Thanks, pea brain.” Daphne and Justin looked at each other seriously before laughing. *** Daphne parked her car and honked twice before she killed the engine. A few minutes later Justin came out looking very sexy. “Wow, Daph, you look great.” Justin told her. “So do you.” “Where are they? Daphne you are not tricking me into going out with you, are you, because I’m not going to fuck you again.” Justin warned her with a hint of sarcasm. Daphne laughed. “Get in. We are already late.” Daphne said. “Brandon has his own car. He wanted to pick us up but I said no.” “Why?” “You never know when a date might just get boring and you have to fake that you are just going for the bathroom when you are running for the exit and getting in your car to go home.” Daphne explained. “A lot of strange things can go wrong. If you dated at all you would know what I am talking about.” “Do you know how sometimes I call you a freak?” Justin asked. “Yeah.” “Well, you are.” Justin told her. She shook her head and smirked. Daphne parked to the side of the theater and walked with Justin to meet their dates. “How old is this Brandon?” Justin asked shoving his hands into his pocket. “Thirty.” “Damn Daph! Isn’t that kind of old?” Justin asked. “Not by that much.” Daphne told him. “There he is, isn’t he gorgeous?” Justin looked at the guy and agreed. Brandon was about six foot two with chestnut hair and beautiful hazel eyes. He was dressed in a pair of black jeans and with a dark blue sweater and looked like a god. Justin swallowed and smiled when Brandon smiled at him. Justin studied the guy and was disappointed that the guy was straight. Although he would never do that to Daphne no matter how gay the guy could be. He wondered if Brandon had a brother just like him his age. “Brandon, this is my best friend Justin. Justin, this is Brandon.” Daphne introduced them. “It’s nice to meet you.” Justin told him. “I want to thank you for coming. I really didn’t want to leave my little brother alone. Daph said you wouldn’t mind.” “He doesn’t.” Daphne assured him. “Justin could be like his mentor or something.” Brandon turned to look at Daphne and smiled. Justin glared at her. “So where is he?” Justin asked. “I gave him some money so he could buy snacks for the movie.” Brandon told him and turned his attention to Daphne once again. Justin turned to look at the line and frowned. He saw the only kid that was there and he looked more like twelve. The kid had dark hair and was really short. He was wearing a plaid blue shirt and a pair of jeans. He had a pair of glasses and Justin saw nothing but a complete and total geek. Justin shook his head and seriously thought of killing Daphne. Why he couldn’t say no to her was a mystery to him. “I gave you a twenty dollar bill. Don’t I get any change?” Brandon asked. Justin looked back at Brandon, Daphne and some guy who was holding a tray full of junk food. “I wasted it. I’m sorry.” The guy said. “It’s okay.” Brandon told him. “Hey Justin, this is my little brother Brian.” “Brian, this is Justin.” Daphne said. Justin smiled at Brian who gave him a little smile before he quickly looked away. He smiled and wondered why Brian couldn’t be Brandon’s age. The kid was an exact copy of Brandon, only younger than him and as tall as Justin. He smirked when Daphne gave him a warning look and they started walking. Justin was enjoying the view when he looked back to the line to see the kid he had thought was Brandon’s little brother. He thanked whoever needed thanks for small favors. *** Daphne got out of the car and closed the door. She glared at Justin that had just parked her car in front of them and was getting out. Justin just smiled at her and started to pull Brian inside the diner. Brandon came around and put his arm around Daphne’s shoulder and they too went inside the diner. When they were sitting, she kept sending him glares and kicking him under the table but Justin wouldn’t stop trying to flirt with Brian. Brian in the other hand had never been so frightened in his life. He didn’t even dare look Justin in the eyes. He liked the blonde but there was no way that Justin would like him. “I’ll be right back.” Brandon said getting up to go to the bathroom. “I’ll go with you.” Brian told him. Justin got up and let Brian go. When he sat back down, Daphne hit him on the shoulder. “Hey.” “What the fuck do you think you are doing?” Daphne asked. “What was all that about you driving so we could have time together, nothing but pure and utter bullshit!” “I’m just trying to help you out. I told Brandon that I was going to drive Brian home so you guys could do whatever. He agreed.” Justin told her sweetly. “Oh my god.” Daphne whispered under her breath. “Justin, he is fifteen.” “I’m just playing around. I’m not going to fuck him.” Justin assured her. “You are not going to ruin my relationship.” Daphne hissed. “If you hurt him Brandon would kill you and I will help him and then he would break up with me for introducing Brian to you.” “I’m the gay person at the table. So stop being so over dramatic.” Justin mocked. Debbie heard them and walked towards their table. “What the fuck is wrong with you two?” Debbie asked chewing her gum. “Daphne has PMS.” Justin said. “Huh!” Daphne grunted and hit him again in the same spot. “So what’s it going to be?” Debbie asked. Just then Brandon and Brian came back to the booth. They sat down and Daphne introduced them. “Well, it’s nice to meet you two.” Debbie told them with a smile. “I’ll have my usual.” Justin told her. “What do you want Brian?” “Uh.” Brian managed to get out when Justin touched him on the shoulder. “What do you think of a cheeseburger with fries and a coke?” Debbie asked him. “That sounds good.” Brian told her. “What about you two love birds? Think you can stop shoving your tongue down her throat long enough to order?” Debbie asked. “Deb!” Daphne yelled. “I’ll have a salad.” Brandon said. “That’s all you are going to have?” Debbie asked. “He’s a freak like that.” Brian informed them. They all laughed at that. After everyone ordered Brandon went back to kissing Daphne while Justin hoped a meteorite hit him. He looked at Brian who kept playing with his napkin and controlled himself. When Debbie finally brought them their food he was ready to puke out. “Could you two please stop it?” Justin asked. “People are trying to eat and as you can see, this establishment doesn’t allow your kind of conduct.” “Excuse me?” Brandon asked. “He means because we are straight.” Daphne told him laughing. “Don’t listen to him. He is a dork.” “You are scaring the poor people around us.” Justin said his voice full of sarcasm. Brian smiled at how funny Justin was and kept eating his food. When they were all done and about to leave, Justin couldn’t resist any longer. He wanted to be alone with Brian even if it was only to talk. “So you guys want to go dancing?” Justin asked. “That’s a good idea.” Daphne said smiling. “Can we go?” “Well, it is kind of late.” Brandon said looking at Brian. “Oh don’t worry about him.” Justin told him. “You take Daphne dancing and I’ll take Brian to your house. I have to be up early tomorrow.” Brandon smiled and nodded. Daphne tried to control her emotions but eventually was going to give Justin a slow and torturous punishment.
