Justin looked up and Brian and frowned. “Brian, can you relax? You are going to give me a heart attack.” Justin told him. “I just don’t like it here, baby. It’s too crowded.” Brian told him. “I thought being in crowded places was always good?” Justin asked looking around. “There are too many people. Anyone can come and…” Brian was saying but shut up. Justin swallowed and they both stared at each other. “Hey guys, aren’t you going to dance?” Emmett asked. “Justin is an excellent dancer.” Brian squeezed Justin’s hand a little just to let him know that he didn’t want to dance. “Brian doesn’t know how to.” Justin told Emmett. “I’ll show him later. Do you want to go dance with me before we go?” “You guys are leaving? But you just got here.” Emmett protested. “Yeah, we want to go home and you know…” Justin said smiling. “Fuck?” Michael asked. “Come on.” Emmett said pulling Justin into the throbbing masses. Brian looked at Michael and smirked before he turned his attention back to Justin. “I hope that you don’t hurt him, for your sake.” Michael said and ordered a drink. “I don’t see how it’s any of your business.” Brian said dryly. “Justin is my business.” Michael said. “No, he is mine.” Brian hissed turning around. Michael and Brian stood face to face ready to battle each other. “Just don’t hurt him.” Michael warned him. “I will kill you if you hurt him.” Brian smirked. “I am not planning on doing that. Justin is a big boy and he can take care of himself. Just so you know.” Brian told him. “Michael, dance with me.” Ben shouted from three feet away and waved at Michael. Michael turned his attention back to Brian giving him a warning look before he put his drink down and left to dance with Ben. Brian watched him closely until he felt someone tapping him on the shoulder. He turned around and froze. “Are you happy to see me?” Chris asked. “What the fuck are you doing here, Chris?” Brian asked. “I came to talk to you.” Chris told him. “Relax, I am not armed.” Brian just stared at him not believing a word. “Aren’t you happy to see me?” Chris asked again. Brian frowned and rolled his lips inside of his mouth. “Well, you never were one of too many words.” Chris finally said. “What are you doing in Pittsburgh?” Brian asked. “I am visiting you, of course.” Chris said with sarcasm. “I really thought you would be happy to see me.” “You though wrong.” Brian hissed. Chris laughed and looked at the crowd. “He is really something.” Chris murmured and looked up at Brian. “I want you to stay away from him.” Brian roared and grabbed Chris by the neck. “Or what, Brian, are you going to kill me? You don’t have the balls Brian.” Chris spit at him. “You only kill bad people. I have never hurt anyone in my life.” Brian closed his eyes and let go of Chris. “You are nothing but a liar. I want you out of here.” Brian said. Chris smirked and shook his head. He looked at Justin who was coming their way and just left after he gave Brian a coiled smile. “Hey, who was that?” Justin asked. “Nobody.” Brian told him. “Can we go now?” “Was that him?” Justin asked. “Jus…” Brian said. “I saw you. You looked spooked and then…then you look mad and you grabbed him by the neck.” Justin whispered. “You don’t have to lie to me, remember?” Brian nodded. “Did he threaten you?” Justin asked. Brian shook his head. “Is he going to leave us alone?” Justin asked worried. “I hope so.” Brian answered truthfully. Brian smiled and caressed Justin’s face. “Let’s go home.” Brian whispered. Justin took his hand and they walked out of there. *** Justin grabbed Brian’s shoulder and squeezed his anal walls to keep Brian inside of him. Brian looked at him and smiled. “Just stay a little longer.” Justin whispered. “Okay.” Brian said. Brian traced patterns across Justin’s face, neck and shoulders. He would kiss the blonde and give him little bites and licks. He played with Justin’s hair and smiled when Justin purred contentedly. “Did you like them?” Justin asked. “Your friends are weird.” Brian admitted. “But they are okay.” Justin smiled brightly. Brian moved away from him and threw the condom in the trash before he took Justin in his arms again. “We are all sticky.” Justin said smiling. “I like to hold you like this.” Brian told him. “I think it’s hot that we are covered with each other’s scent.” Justin nodded. “What did you think about my mom?” Justin asked. Brian smiled. “Tell me!” Justin demanded. “I was scared shitless.” Brian uttered in very dry tone. “I thought I was going to melt when her head turn…no wait, snapped to look at me.” “She’s just worried.” Justin defended. “About what?” Brian asked. “I guess she doesn’t want me to get hurt again.” Justin said. “How could anyone hurt you?” Brian asked. “I was not worthy of them.” Justin said. “Or so they say?” “I want names and addresses. I’m going to go hunt them down.” Brian joked. Justin laughed. “It doesn’t matter.” Justin assured him. “Yes, it does. You are worth it, Justin. Fuck them. They don’t know shit.” Brian told him. “You are a sexy, smart, beautiful, kind, honest, giving, understanding, sensitive man.” “Thanks.” Justin choked out as he buried his face on Brian’s chest to hide his tears. “Don’t cry baby.” Brian told him caressing his blond. “No one ever said that to me before.” Justin admitted. “They were assholes." Brian told him. Justin smirked. He was getting sleepy when Brian talked again. “I have to go for a couple of days.” Brian said out of nowhere. Justin looked at him and nodded. “When are you coming back?” Justin asked. “I don’t know.” Brian told him while he caressed Justin’s back. “I’m going to miss you.” Justin said. “Me too.” Brian murmured. “What? What are you not telling me?” Justin asked a little scared. “Justin, I want you to go with me.” Brian told him. “Where?” Justin asked. “Italy.” Brian said. “Cool. Yes, I would go.” Justin said excitedly. “No, Justin.” Brian told him as he sat on the bed with a serious expression. “Okay then, why would you ask me?” Justin said taken aback. “I want you to go with me, but I don’t mean do you want to go to Italy with me for the summer. I mean to live there with me.” Brian explained. “Oh.” Justin gasped. Brian licked his lips and waited. “That’s a big step, Brian.” Justin told him. “I know.” Brian admitted. “Why do you have to move so far away Brian?” Justin asked. “We’ll be safe there. I…I want to start new.” Brian told him. “We have only been together for five months Brian. How can you be so sure that you want me living with you?” Justin asked. “I know I love you. It’s that simple.” Brian said. “But what about the things you don’t know about me? What if I have something that ticks you off? Or maybe you discover something about me that you don’t like?” Justin pointed out. Brian arched his brow. “Is it anything like my secrets?” Brian asked. Justin shook his head. “No, that’s not the point.” Justin told him sitting down. “What is the point?” Brian asked. Justin looked up at Brian and then away. “What are we going to do over there?” Justin asked. “I will change my name. Get a simple job. I will make new friends and help people some other way. I’m going to retire so I can spend the rest of my life loving you.” Brian said. Justin looked up shocked. “What?” Justin asked. “I didn’t have anything to lose Justin. I was doing this because…there wasn’t anybody in my life.” Brian told him. “So are you doing this for me?” Justin asked amazed. “For us, because I just found you and I don’t want to lose you.” Brian told him closing his eyes. “You are the first man that has accepted me like this and the first that has made me want to give up this job because I want to be a better man. Justin smiled and jumped in Brian’s arms. “I’m so easy, aren’t I?” Justin asked. “Throw in some nice words and I’m in.” “I mean them.” Brian assured him. Justin pulled back and looked at Brian. He took Brian’s hand and smiled. “Okay, I’ll go with you.” Justin uttered against Brian’s fingers before he took one in his mouth. “You will?” Brian asked watching Justin suck one of his fingers. Justin nodded. “If things don’t work out I can always come back to my family. I just can’t let you go so that the rest of my life I sit and kick myself for letting the man I know I love get away.” Justin said. Brian got up smiling from ear to ear. “Come on.” Brian told him. “We are not going now are we?” Justin asked. Brian laughed and shook his head. “So where are we going?” Justin asked. Brian took Justin’s hand and went up the stairs with him. He wanted to make love to Justin under the starts. Just to show off and let them see that for him Justin could shine brighter than anything in the world. *** Chris looked at his watch and smiled. They always left around eight fifteen towards the diner. He watched as Brain put his arm around Justin’s shoulder as they walked down the street. He traced his fingers over his gun and smiled at how easy it could be to just shoot him. He shook his head. That wasn’t the plan. Chris wanted Brian to suffer. Just like he had suffered when Brian killed Jake. He would make sure that Brian saw how he took everything from him slowly. Chris wanted to make him suffer like he had. Chris watched for a little longer until Brian and Justin disappeared around the corner. He had been watching the blond for a whole month now and he was sure of what he had to do. He was going to make Brian’s heart break very slowly. Brian was not going to get away with what he did to him. Chris started his car to go home. He had to go and plan his punishment for Brian. He knew that if the blond was suffering Brian would too and that was the goal. Then he could push Brian into doing what he wanted in the first place.
