“Why do I have to go?” Gus asked.

“Because today is Monday,” Brian told him.  “And you have to go back with Mommy and Momma.”

“But I want to be with you,” Gus protested.

“I want to be with you too,” Brian said. “But your mothers miss you.”

Gus frowned because he missed his mothers too.  

“I am going to see you again,” Brian promised.

Gus hugged his father.  Justin smiled at the picture in front of him.  

“Mr. Justin?” Gus asked as he looked at the blond.  “Are you going to see me too?”

Justin nodded.

Gus let go of his father and walked over to Justin.  “I like you.”

Justin chuckled.  “Good, thanks,” he squatted in front of Gus. 

“I like playing with you,” Gus announced.

“I like playing with him too,” Brian smirked.

“Brian,” Justin shook his head. “I had a great time with you, Gus,” Justin told him.

“Okay,” Gus said and hugged Justin.

Justin smiled and picked the boy up.  He gave him a big hug and a kiss on the cheek.  “If you need anything at all you just let me know,” Justin said.

“How is he going to do that?” Brian asked.

“He has my number,” Justin said.

Brian arched a brow but didn’t say anything.

“You be a good boy,” Justin let go of him.

“Come on,” Brian said.

“Is Mr. Justin not coming?” Gus asked as he picked his book bag.

“I have work to do,” Justin said.

Gus nodded and waved.  Brian walked over to the blond and kissed him.  “Mmm, Mr. Justin, very nice.”

Justin laughed and swatted Brian playfully.  “Call me.”

Brian nodded and left.  He put Gus on the back seat in his car seat.

“I don’t like this,” Gus protested.

“I know,” Brian said.  “As soon as you turn five you can sit in the back seat like big people do.  You are getting big enough.”

Gus nodded.  “Okay.”

Brian got in the car and drove to Lindsay and Melanie’s house.  He wished that he didn’t have to let go of Gus but he had signed his rights away.

“Out!” Gus yelled as soon as they arrived.

“In a minute,” Brian told him.

“I want to see Justin,” Gus said to Brian.

“Not now,” Brian said.  “You can later.”

Gus looked at his father with both brows raised.  It was a gestured he had picked from his father.  Brian looked at him briefly and smiled. 
 
“I promise,” Brian told him.

“Okay,” Gus shrieked and as soon as he was free he jumped to the front.  

“Hold on,” Brian said and went to grab his son.  He took Gus’s things along with the toddler and walked over to the front of the house.  He knocked and waited.

“Brian,” Melanie said rubbing her eyes.  “You are early.”

“What the hell were you doing?” Brian asked frowning.

“We were sleeping,” Melanie told him.

“Right,” Brian rolled his eyes and he gave Gus to her.  “Is not that hot out here and you are sweating.”

Melanie blushed and glared at him.  “It’s none of your business.”

“We are right on time,” Brian shot back.  “It’s five o’clock.”

“Brian,” Lindsay said, her hair looking a little ruffled.  “Did you have a good time?”

“Tons!” Gus shrieked.

Lindsay smiled. 

“I have to go,” Brian said looking at his watch.  He went over to Gus and kissed him on the forehead.  “Be good.”

“Bye, Daddy,” Gus shouted.

Brian waved and walked back to the car.  He was supposed to go home and do the work he didn’t get to do in the day but he couldn’t concentrate.  He wanted to see Justin and he would.  After all he was Brian Kinney and he did whatever the hell he wanted to do.

***

Brian shook his head as he entered the house.  He took the key that Justin had given him and put it back in his pocket.  He then went in search of the blond.

Justin was sitting on the bed just waiting.  He had heard someone come up the stairs.  “Hey,” he smiled and extended his arms.

Brian moved towards the blond.  He grabbed Justin’s hand and pulled him up to him.  He leaned in and started kissing Justin’s neck.  “Mmm, I thought you had work to do.”

“I didn’t know where to start.  So I decided to take a nap,” Justin told him.  “What are you doing here?”

“I don’t know,” Brian told him.  

“I guess we’ll have to figure it out,” Justin hissed.

“Yeah,” Brian agreed as they got naked.  He pulled the duvet away and threw on the floor before they got on the bed completely.

“Brian,” Justin moaned his name.  

“Don’t start,” Brian said feeling himself growing even harder.

Justin smiled; he knew that Brian went crazy when he started moaning for him.

Brian took off the rest of his clothes slowly.  Then he reached for a condom and put it next to them.  Then his hands started to roam Justin’s body.

“You should move here,” Justin said.  “You can always have me all the time.”

Brian bit his lower lip and didn’t answer.  He knew that if he opened his mouth he might give in to the blond.  

“Touch me,” Justin whimpered.

“I’m touching you,” Brian said as he caressed Justin’s back.  

“No,” Justin shook his head.  

“No?” Brian asked and moved his hands to Justin’s ass.  “Here?”

“Yes,” Justin gasped.  

“Tell me what you want me to do?” Brian asked.

“I want to feel you inside of me,” Justin told him.

Brian licked his lips and let his fingers trace Justin’s mouth.  Then the blond stuck his tongue out and started licking them.

Brian was transfixed with Justin’s movements.  His mouth opened when Justin sucked his fingers inside his mouth.  He stopped the blond after a few seconds and went to touch Justin where he knew the blond wanted him to. 

“Brian,” Justin whispered when he felt the brunet outlining his hole.

Brian slipped a finger inside and watched the blond’s face.  “You like that?”

“Yeah,” Justin had his eyes open staring back at Brian.  

Brian pushed in another finger and started moving them.  Justin’s hole was tight around his fingers.  He couldn’t wait to be buried deep inside the blond.

“Fuck me,” Justin told him.  “Come on.  I want you to push inside of me.”

Brain pulled away from the blond and then turned Justin around.  He put the blond on his knees and his shoulders.  Then he got ready to enter the blond.

“Fuck!” Justin’s eyes closed and his nostrils flared as he tried to even out his breathing.  

Brian grabbed Justin’s hair and pulled him back.  He started to lick Justin’s neck and then he bit the blond’s earlobe.  

Justin’s muscles tightened all around.  He pushed back towards the brunet.  “Fuck me!”

“Gladly,” Brian muttered and started moving.  He kept his body close to Justin’s because unconsciously he needed the blond’s contact. 

Justin kept pushing back harder and faster trying to keep with Brian’s every move.  He turned his head and looked at Brian.  Their eyes met briefly leaving no doubt in Justin’s mind that he was in love with the brunet. 

“Oh god,” Brian growled.  He grabbed Justin by the shoulders and pulled him up with him.  He wrapped his arms around Justin’s waist and kept moving but at a slower pace.

Justin’s arm went back to reach for Brian.  He was trying to last as long as he could.

“I love you,” Justin told him.  One of Justin’s hands grabbed the back of Brian’s thigh and pulled the brunet towards him as best as he could. 

Brian latched on to Justin’s shoulder and started sucking on it.  His free hand started to jerk the blond.

“God!” Justin shouted and he spilled his seed.  His muscles constricted around Brian’s member.

Brian growled and came inside Justin’s body.  He held on to the blond and they stayed like that for a while.  

“I can’t believe you came back,” Justin said as he and Brian pulled away.

“I’m going to go take a shower,” Brian said.  “I would bring you with me but then I will never leave.”

Justin laughed and nodded.  He grabbed his sketching pad and started doing a drawing of Brian.  He had a big smile on his face as he thought about the brunet.

“Are you drawing my cock?” Brian asked as he came out of the shower.  He was drying up his chest.

“No,” Justin rolled his eyes and got up.  He grabbed his robe and put it on.  “I need to take a shower.”

Brian nodded.  “I have to go.”

“I know,” Justin said and laughed.  “And make sure not to come back.”

Brian swatted the blond’s butt.  Then he pulled the smaller man into his arms.  “Jesus,” he kissed the blond one last time.  “What the fuck have you done to me?”

“I seduced you,” Justin joked.

Brian smiled and nodded.  Then he let go of Justin and started to get dressed.  He didn’t know what exactly the blond had done to him but he was pretty sure that he liked it a lot.

Brian arrived at Babylon around eleven and went straight to the bar where Michael, Ben and Ted where having a drink.  He kissed Michael and asked for a beer.

“You are late,” Michael said.

“I was doing something,” Brian told him.

“No doubt,” Ted teased. 

Brian looked at Ted and just decided to ignore him.

“So what have you been up to?” Michael asked.

“Not much.  Just working,” Brian told him.

Michael frowned.  He knew there was something different with his friend.  “Is everything okay?”

“Why wouldn’t it be?” Brian asked.

Michael looked at Ben who was just staring at the brunet.  Ben looked at Michael and shrugged.  He didn’t know what was going on with Brian but the man was acting out of character.

“Do you want to dance?” Michael asked.

Brian shook his head.

“What is it?” Michael asked.  “You don’t look like you are having fun.”

“I am,” Brian assured him.  He looked around and sighed.  He frowned and then took a sip of his beer.  He looked at his watch and then ran his fingers through his hair.  

Michael frowned and looked at Ben.  “Want to dance?”

Ben nodded and took Michael by the arm.  

“What’s with you?” Ted asked.

“You care why?” Brian asked taking a sip of his drink.

“I’m just asking,” Ted offered.

“Let me rephrase that,” Brian told him.  “It’s none of your fucking business.”

“That’s better,” Ted said straightening up.  “More you,” he said and then walked away.

Brian frowned and shook his head.  He didn’t know what the hell was going on.  He didn’t want to be there.  He wanted to be back at the loft in his bed and with Justin.  So he did the best next thing, he called the man.

“Hey,” Justin said as he answered his cell.  “I was thinking about you.  Where are you?”

“Babylon,” Brian told him.

“I wish I could be there with you,” Justin told him.

“Where are you?” Brian asked sighing.

“New York,” Justin told him.  “I have a concert in two days.  We are getting everything ready.”

“I see,” Brian told him as he started to move towards the exit so he could hear the blond better.  “Hold on a minute.”

“So, do you miss me?” Justin asked once he heard complete silence.

“Like I am going to tell you that,” Brian said as he started pacing in the alley.

Justin laughed.  “I miss you.”

Brian closed his eyes and imagined himself next to the blond.  Just hugging him; holding him close.

“Anyway,” Justin said.  “I thought that maybe you could come with me.  We are going to California in about two weeks.  Do you want to come?”

Brian cleared his through.  “I don’t have time.”

“Come on, Brian,” Justin said.  He was pouting.  “I want you there.”

“I can’t,” Brian told him.  He was just afraid of what it all meant.

“But if you had the time you would come with me?” Justin asked.

“Yeah,” Brian told him.  “But I can’t.”

“Okay,” Justin said.  “I’ll drop it.”

Brian smirked.  He liked the way Justin like to push for things and yet back away.  

“I love you,” Justin told him.

Brian closed his eyes and let the words wash over him.

“Brian,” Michael shouted.  “What are you doing out here?”

“I have to go,” Brian told him.

“Later,” Justin said.

“Later,” Brian said very slowly.

“Brian, what are you doing?” Michael asked.  “Who are you talking to?”

“Doesn’t matter,” Brian said.

“Emmett got here, did you see him past by?” Michael asked.

Brian shook his head.

“He said you were pacing,” Michael sighed.  “Is everything okay?”

“Yeah,” Brian looked at his watch.  “I have to go.”

“What?” Michael asked.

“I…I am like this because I have work to do and I haven’t.  I can’t come up with a solution to it and…fuck,” Brian looked at his friend.  “I really need to go.”

Michael crossed his arms.  “Brian.”

“Mikey,” Brian just turned around and left.

Michael stayed there for a few minutes until Brian’s outline disappear into the dark night.  He shook his head and then went back to the club not knowing what the hell was going on with his friend.

Vance was waiting for Justin and Joshua Taylor to come into his office.  The door opened and Justin came inside.

“Is your cousin coming?” Vance asked.

“No,” Justin said.  “Is just me.”  

“Okay,” Vance said.  “You said you wanted to talk.”

Justin nodded.  “It’s kind of related to business.”

“Go ahead,” Vance said smiling.  “You are the client and we are here to try and do our best to satisfy you.”

“I was wondering if I could steal Brian away,” Justin told the man.

Vance arched a brow.  

“I am coming up with a few new things, work related,” Justin told him.  “You will have a signed new contract entitling you to the publicity.”

Vance knew he had died and gone to heaven.  “Done deal.  How long would you guys be gone?”

“About a week,” Justin told him.

“No, problem,” Vance said.

“Can you tell him that he has vacation time or something,” Justin told him.

Vance nodded and then got up.  He shook hands with the blond and then watched him go.  He sighed and looked what he was going to do to substitute Brian for a week.  When all was done he got up and went to see Brian.  Vance knocked on the open door and came inside Brian’s office.  

“Vance,” Brian drawled in a dry tone.

“Can I talk to you?” Vance asked.

“Go ahead,” Brian told him closing the file he was reading.

“I’m proud of your work, Brian,” Vance told him.

Brian smiled as best as he could because he knew that Vance was going to say something he wasn’t going to like.

“That’s why I decided to give you some time off,” Vance said.

“What?” Brian asked taken aback.

“You earned it,” Vance assured him.

“I don’t need time off,” Brian said.

“But you are getting it,” Vance told him.  “I don’t want my best employee burning out.”

Brian frowned not sure that the man in front of him was Vance.  “What’s going on?”

Vance laughed.  “Don’t be cynical.  You go and have a good relaxed week.”

Brian watched him go and then grabbed the phone.  He dialed the number and waited.

“Hello,” Justin said.

“What the fuck did you do?” Brian asked.

“Nothing,” Justin said like a little kid.  “What’s going on?”

“What did you say to Vance?” Brian asked.

“Not a thing,” Justin told him.  “Why?”

“He suddenly gave me free time,” Brian rolled his eyes.

“You don’t say,” Justin told him.  “That means you can come with me.”

“You don’t say,” Brian mocked.

Justin laughed.  “What?  You said that if you had time you would come with me.”

“Yeah, I know,” Brian sighed.

“Don’t you want to go?” Justin bit his lower lip.

“Is not that,” Brian told him.  “You sometimes cross the line.”

“Oh shut up,” Justin told him.  “You know you love it.  Not knowing what I am going to do next.”

“No, I don’t,” Brian protested.  “I like having things under my control.”

“That would make you die young,” Justin told him.  “I will have Joshua call you in a little while with the details.  I am going to be busy for the rest of the day.”

“And you call me a control freak,” Brian pointed out.

“You are babe,” Justin laughed.  “So, are you coming?” Justin asked wanting to hear Brian confirming it.

Brian sighed.  “Sure.”

Justin smirked.  “The things I am going to do to you,” he said in a sexy voice.  “As soon as we see each other you can have things UNDER control,” he said suggestively and then hung up.

“Little twat,” Brian said smirking.  He put the phone on his cradle and the rest of the day tried to concentrate on his work but it was hopeless.  He had other things in mind that took priority like the risky blond that wouldn’t leave him alone and he didn’t want it any other way.
