Brian took a sip of his water and put it on the table. Justin watched him and frowned. He wanted Brian so much and he was sure he was going nuts with Brian there all the time and not being able to do anything. “One more month and a half and things will be back to normal.” Brian said highlighting the text he thought was important. Justin nodded not sure he wanted to go back to normal. He wanted to stay in his house with Brian forever and forget that the rest of the world existed. He knew things were going to change once the guys were back. For starters, Michael or Chris would be there for Brian and he wouldn’t be needed. “Yeah.” Justin whispered not feeling happy at all. Brian looked at Justin and wondered what was up with the blond. Justin was usually more talkative, that’s when he knew if something was wrong with the blond. As soon as Justin kept quiet for more than five seconds, there was something up. “What’s wrong?” Brian asked. “What do you mean?” Justin frowned and tried to look less down. “You look like someone killed your dog.” Brian grabbed his water again and took another sip. “I never had a dog.” Justin looked at the papers in his lap and tried to get into what he was doing. “I’m okay.” “I know you.” Brian told him. “You are not okay.” Justin shook his head. He looked up at Brian and wondered when the brunet had started to know him so well. “I’m okay, Brian.” Justin assured him. This time his voice sounding rougher. “Whatever. Here.” Brian said handing him a bunch of papers. “I’m done. All we have to do now is start typing.” Justin nodded and grabbed the papers to put them with the ones he had. He was trying really hard but his mind was not on working on the damn project. “Want to go out and get something to eat?” Brian asked. “Uh, sure.” Justin told him. Justin got up and put the papers in the table. He followed Brian out of the house and they decided to take the brunet’s car. They drove to a nearby restaurant and once inside, Brian ordered for both of them. Justin’s mind was working overtime and he was really quiet. Brian wondered what the blond was thinking about. He wanted to help Justin, but if the blond didn’t tell him what was going on, there wasn’t a thing he could do. “Brian.” Justin suddenly whispered. “What?” Brian asked. “When they get back, promise me that you'll still talk to me.” Justin told him. Brian raised a brow. “I don’t know.” Brian swallowed and felt like there was a knot on his throat. He hated when Justin did things like that to him. Putting him on the spot like that and if things didn’t go like he wanted them to, the blond was sure to blame him. “We have been behaving and Mr. Kern said that he might not give us more detention. Why would I need to keep talking to you?” Justin rolled his eyes. “Could you be serious for a minute?” Justin asked. “I want you to keep talking to me even if it's on the phone.” “You are so annoying, Justin.” Brian told him. “It would just bring trouble.” Justin frowned knowing that Brian was probably right. “Brian.” Debbie said smiling as she walked over to the table. Brian got up and kissed her on the cheek. “Hello, Mrs. Novotny.” Justin said kissing her on the cheek too. “Well, what are you boys doing here?” Debbie asked hugging Justin tightly. “I brought Justin here to feed him. He eats all the time, like crazy.” Brian teased. Justin rolled his eyes but smiled nonetheless. “Shut up, Brian.” “That’s good, honey.” Debbie said looking at Brian. She looked from one boy to the other and was staring to get a clue of who Brian liked. She just couldn’t believe it. If she didn’t know before, now she knew that life worked in mysterious ways. “I hope you boys are having fun.” “Do you want to join us?” Brian asked her. “Oh, no. Thank you, honey.” Debbie told him. “I am having dinner with Mrs. Thompson. You guys enjoy yourself.” Brian and Justin nodded. They sat back down and watched her walk to another table and sit down. “She’s great.” Justin commented. Brian wished sometimes that Debbie was his mother. She was an excellent person. “Yeah.” Their food arrived and Brian started eating while Justin just played with his food. When Brian looked up, he knew something really was wrong. If he didn’t know what was bothering Justin already he might think that the blond was dying. “Justin.” Brian whispered cleaning his mouth with the cloth napkin. “Just promise me.” Justin whispered. “What?” Brian asked and took a sip of his drink. “You know what, Brian.” Justin told him. Brian rolled his eyes and looked away. “We can talk on the phone.” Justin told him. “Fine. Just stop moping and let me eat in peace.” Brian said. Justin smiled but kept quiet anyway. He was thinking of other things that involved the brunet. He ate his food and Brian stopped worrying about him. *** Justin laughed and pushed Brian away from him before he swam to the edge of the pool. They had been in the pool pretty much since the afternoon. “We should get out, Justin.” Brian told him. “We have been in here forever.” “I don’t want to.” Justin told him. “I like it here.” “I’m starting to look like a prune.” Brian told him. “Look at my fingers.” “Oh, you look hot.” Justin assured him. Brian rolled his eyes and moved closer to the blond. “Aren’t you hungry?” Brian asked. “You are always hungry.” “Are you?” Justin asked. “A little.” Brian told him. “Come on.” “Go eat something then.” Justin said. “You don’t need me for that.” “You’re not a fish, Justin. Get out of the pool.” Brian told him. “Make me.” Justin said giggling. Brian grabbed Justin by the waist and started pulling him to the stairs. “No.” Justin yelled and laughed. “Come on, Sunshine.” Brian said smirking. “Stop, stop.” Justin started to tickle Brian. He smiled when he pulled free from the brunet. He started to swim backwards to get away from Brian. Brian smiled and went after the blond. It was payback time. He caught up with Justin and pushed him underwater then started pulling him out of the pool again. Justin reached the edge of the pool and grabbed hold of it. “You can’t make me!” “What are we, five? Stop acting like a kid.” Brian told him. “Come on. We have to get out.” “Why?” Justin asked. “You are going to get sick.” Brian grabbed Justin by the waist and just stayed there not doing anything at all. “Do you care?” Justin asked looking at Brian’s neck. He wanted so much to kiss Brian’s neck. He was driving himself mad. Brian stared at Justin. He nodded slightly. “I do. I care.” Justin looked up a little surprised. His heart started beating really fast. He wanted to say something but nothing came to mind. “I…” Brian pushed him against the edge. “Let’s get out. I’ll push you under the water again.” Brian threatened. “I’m stronger that you. Come on. It’s warm inside.” “I’m shaking.” Justin told him and pushed Brian away playfully but he could tell that they weren’t into it. Something had happened the moment that Brian had admitted he cared. They were moving really slowly and barely doing any kind of force. Brian grabbed Justin’s hands away from his chest and pinned them on the edge of the pool. Justin struggled to get away, but really he wasn’t trying. He didn’t mind being trapped by Brian. “Now what are you going to do?” Brian asked. Justin frowned seeing how he had no escape. He pushed the smile away and pretended like he was thinking of a way to get away. “Not fair.” Justin pouted because even if he liked where he was he wanted to be able to touch the brunet. Brian let go of one of Justin’s arms and started to tickle the blond. “Hey!” Justin yelped. “Payback’s a bitch.” Brian told him laughing. Brian smiled and kept on tickling him. Suddenly, they were both tickling each other and without knowing it they kept moving closer to one another. Suddenly Justin stopped when he felt Brian’s erection pushing against him. Justin moaned and pushed back towards Brian. Brian looked at Justin and bent down as if he were to kiss the blond. He pushed Justin against the wall by the neck and his other hand went to the edge of the pool. Justin grabbed Brian’s hips and pushed their erections together. “Jus.” Brian murmured. Justin put his forehead on Brian’s neck and closed his eyes. Brian caressed Justin’s cheek and made Justin look at him. He started to pull away but Justin grabbed him and kissed him. The kiss didn’t last much and as soon as it all had started, it ended. Brian was moving away from him, leaving a very confused Justin behind. He had never been so scared in his life, looking inside of Justin’s eyes terrified him to no end. He didn’t know what the fuck had happened. He had lost all control. He knew there was no hope for him. He wanted Justin. He just…he didn’t want to get hurt. “I’ll go get something to eat.” Brian said to Justin once he was outside the pool. Justin just stayed there, shocked out of his mind and with a hard on. *** “Hello?” Emmett asked out of breath. “Am I interrupting something?” Justin asked biting his lower lip. “No, honey. Nothing like that. We are in a Gym.” Emmett told him. “Oh.” Justin said. “I need to talk to you.” “What is it, baby?” Emmett asked. “Well, as you know, Brian is staying with me.” Justin said. Emmett smiled and waited to hear the rest. “Well, we were in the pool just joking around and then…well, he was pressing against me.” Justin said. “Does he have a big cock?” Emmett asked. “I’ve always wondered.” “Could you focus here on my problem and yes, he does.” Justin told him. Emmett giggled. “Emm!” Justin said exasperated. “Okay, okay. Sorry.” Emmett told him. “What happened then?” “I pushed against him too and he…he was going to kiss me but then he just pulled away. So I grabbed him and kissed him and he got pissed.” Justin told him. “You kissed him this time?” Emmett smiled. “You have what it takes. I’m so proud baby.” Justin sighed and nodded that at least someone thought that what he did was good. “Have you talked to him?” Emmett asked. “No.” Justin told him. “You should talk to him.” Emmett advised. “What am I supposed to say, Emm? Wow, you got a hard on because of me. What then?” Justin said in frustration. “You could be a little more subtle.” Emmett told him. Justin sighed. “Hey stop!” Emmett yelled. “Justin?” Daphne asked. “Yeah.” Justin said. “What is this I hear?” Daphne asked. “You guys are talking about a guy.” “Yeah.” Justin said again. “Oh my god.” Daphne shrieked. “You are going out with someone?” “No, Daph.” Justin assured her. “Give me back my phone!” Emmett yelled. Daphne ignored him and moved away from the taller teen. “You like someone then?” Daphne asked. “I…” Justin stuttered not sure what to say. “And you haven’t told me anything.” Daphne pointed out. “I’m sorry, Daph.” Justin told her. “I will, as soon as you come back.” “Good.” Daphne told him. “Emmett just left running and Shawn says he wants to talk to you.” “Put him on.” Justin told her. “Hey.” Shawn said. “What’s wrong?” Justin asked. “That’s what I was going to ask you.” Shawn told him. “It’s nothing really.” Justin assured him. “Justin.” Shawn said. “I’m serious. It’s nothing.” Justin assured him. ”Okay. I’ll call you later then.” Shawn told him. “Bye.” Justin said to him and hung up. He looked at the house and decided to talk with Brian like Emmett had suggested. He took a deep breath and let it out slowly. He started counting to ten to try to relax. He was going to have a cigarette before going inside and facing the brunet. *** Justin came into the kitchen and found Brian eating a sandwich. They looked at each other for a few seconds not saying anything. Finally, Justin moved to make himself something to eat. When he sat down, Brian got up ready to leave. “Brian.” Justin said. “What?” Brian asked turning around. “Look, about what happened.” Justin said. “Nothing happened.” Brian walked to the sink and put the dirty plate there. Justin took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “If you say so.” Brian stood still not moving away. He couldn’t be next to Justin. He needed to think. He looked at the blond and frowned when he saw Justin’s face. “Look, Justin. You are my friend and…I don’t want to mess that up. So, stop doing these things.” Brian told him. “What things am I doing?” Justin asked getting up angry. “You know. Trying to seduce me.” Brian told him. “Fuck you, Brian!” Justin shouted as he got in front of Brian. “That is such bullshit. You know, you love to have me after you. I can’t believe you. You kissed me first.” “That’s not true.” Brian told him and frowned. “Well…that was a mistake.” “It was not!” Justin yelled. “You want me! You want me so fucking much!” “Fuck you!” Brian hissed. “I wish!” Justin took a deep breath and looked away from Brian. He could so choke Brian right then. “Just…just leave me alone.” Brian said in a trembling voice. “Fine then.” Justin told him. “You are right, Brian.” Brian arched a brow. “I shouldn’t be wasting my time going after you. You are straight after all and my friend.” Justin said calmly. Brian licked his lips and didn’t say anything. “I guess I should just stop thinking about you and start dating people.” Justin said. “I think I should call Ethan or Steve. Give them a chance to make me happy.” Brian grabbed Justin by the arms and pushed him against the wall. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. No one was supposed to be with Justin because if he was truthful he wanted the blond for himself. “What?” Justin asked looking up at Brian. Brian was angry. He didn’t know what to do next. He fought the urgency he felt to kiss Justin. He pulled back and shook his head. “Do whatever you want, Justin. It’s your life. I’m going to go get my things.” Brian told him turning around. “You are an asshole!” Justin screamed after him. Justin watched him leave and crossed his arms and pouted. He didn’t know what the fuck he was supposed to do. Chaining Brian to the bed crossed his mind but he pushed the idea away quickly. He had to come up with something better than that and fast. *** “So, what do you want to do?” Chris asked. “I don’t know.” Brian told him. “I really wanted to kiss him.” “Is this guy gay?” Chris asked. “Is he out?” “Yeah.” Brian told him. “I don’t see what you are so scared of then. It’s not like he is going to push you away.” Chris told him. “You are hot enough. Jesus, I need more straight friends. Did I just say that to you? Fuck!” Brian smirked. “Thank you.” He looked at the keys in his hands and sighed. “God, I am such an idiot. He’s treating me so great and all I know is how to push him away.” Chris took a deep breath. “You are scared.” Brian nodded knowing it was true. “He is not like that.” Chris whispered. Brian sighed. “You have let go of the past.” Chris told him. “You know I can’t do that.” Brian told him. “I won’t stop ever, Chris. Not until I get what I want.” “I know that. I meant the other part.” Chris told him. Brian was pretty sure Chris was right. “What am I going to do?” Brian asked. “I don’t know.” Chris told him. “Talk to him.” Brian nodded. “I think I’m going to.” “Good. Look, I have to go. William and Alex are fighting. I have to separate them or we are all going to be grounded.” Chris so wanted to beat the shit out of Hayden and his friends. They were driving him fucking nuts. “Grounded?” Brian asked smirking. “Yeah. They won’t let us out of our rooms for an entire day.” Chris said. “Jesus Christ. You are serious.” Brian said smirking. “Yeah.” Chris told him smiling. “Okay. Bye.” Brian said. “Brian, I know this is going to sound corny, but follow you heart man.” Chris smiled and hoped that Brian would listen to him. “Bye.” Brian closed the cell phone and put it on the bed dropping the keys next to it. He ran his fingers through his hair and wondered what he should do. He wanted to know what was going to happen next. He needed to talk to Justin but didn’t know where to start. He wanted to kiss the blond and make him his. But Chris was right. He was scared and he was still clinging to the past. He knew that Justin would not hurt him but it was hard to just let go of everything after so long. *** Justin was fuming. He wanted to kick Brian. He stopped pacing and decided to go to Brian’s room. He wasn’t going to let the brunet leave. One thing was the problem they were having and the other one was letting Brian go to his house where his father was. He went up the stairs and found Brian sitting on the guest room at the edge of the bed. He cleared his throat and stepped inside. “Hey.” Justin said. “Hey.” Brian retorted as he looked up at the blond. “Look, I’m sorry about what happened and the things I said.” Justin told him. Brian’s hands were trembling. That’s what Justin did to him. He needed to calm the fuck down. “I don’t want you to leave, Brian.” Justin told him. “Please. I worry for you. Regardless of what happen, you can’t go.” Brian looked at the blond and nodded. He looked back at the floor and smiled a little, happy to know that Justin cared for him. That the blond would care no matter what happened between them. “I’ll stay.” Brian whispered. Justin was so happy to hear those words. “Good.” Brian looked up again. “I’m going to finish the project. Do you want to come?” Justin asked. Brian rubbed his face and nodded. He walked behind Justin, hoping that Justin wouldn’t call Steve or Ethan. He just needed some time to decide what he was going to do. He got inside Justin’s room and looked around. He had never been there before. He smirked when he saw how Justin had decorated the place. “What?” Justin asked once he turned around and looked at Brian. “This is just how I imagined your room.” Brian told him. Justin smiled and turned on his computer. “Really?” Justin asked. Brian nodded as he looked around. He really liked what he was seeing. “It is so you.” Brian told him. “So, you think of me?” Justin asked smiling. “No.” Brian said quickly. Justin arched a brow and rolled his lips inside his mouth trying not to laugh. Brian only glared at the blond. “That’s not what I said.” Brian told him. “You do know you are borderline.” Justin mocked. “If you think of my room, it must be because you are thinking of me.” Brian rolled his eyes. Justin moved closer to Brian and threw his arms around the brunet. He didn’t know what had possessed him to do so but it felt right to hold on to Brian. “What are you doing?” Brian asked without realizing that his hands automatically went to Justin’s waist. “I don’t know.” Justin told him getting on the tip of his toes and then he kissed Brian on the cheek. “What was that for?” Brian asked him. Justin shrugged. “For being here,” Justin took a deep breath. “…with me.” Brian arched a brow. Justin smiled and moved to kiss Brian again only this time he kissed the brunet on the lips. After a while Justin opened his mouth around Brian’s and licked the brunet’s lips. Brian was not moving his mouth or his body for that matter. His brain was trying to process what was going on and when it did, Brian pulled his mouth away. “What the fuck are you doing?” Brian asked mad. “Kissing you.” Justin whispered and kissed the brunet again. Brian closed his eyes this time and let Justin’s tongue slip inside his mouth. He moaned and felt Justin’s hands gripping his butt. He opened his eyes and pushed Justin away. “Stop doing this!” Brian shouted. “What?” Justin asked. “This…kissing me.” Brian looked at the door and then at Justin. “I need to go and breathe some fresh air.” Justin crossed his arms. “We’ve talked about this. I don’t want you looking at me like that and stop licking your lips. I…stop it all.” Brian ranted like a crazy man. “What?” Justin asked putting his hands on his hips. “Tell me you didn’t like it.” Brian glared at him. “Fuck you, Taylor.” Brian turned and left the room. Justin stayed there not sure what he was supposed to do next. He couldn’t believe he had the guts to kiss the brunet once again. He smiled when he realized that Brian hadn’t told him he didn’t like it. He licked his lips and knew that he had Brian right where he wanted him. One more push and Brian would be in his arms.
Just imagine what's going to happen in the next chapter...*wink, wink*
