Chapter 2 – Lazy Sunday Sunday Morning In Toronto…(Day 35) In the hotel room the next morning Brian awakened to an empty bed and the sounds of Gus and Justin plotting over the room service menu. Brian thought to himself that they were co-conspirators in that regard, and he didn’t want to think about the amount of food that was probably about to appear on the room service cart. With their room service selections entered electronically, Gus and Justin were huddled over the laptop considering possible activities for today. Gus was telling Justin about Brian’s last visit to Toronto, and their trip to Castle Loma where Brian was the king, and Gus was the little prince. For some reason the way that Gus described everything caused Justin to begin laughing hysterically. It was Justin’s laughter that let Brian know it was definitely time for him to get up. Brian finally propped himself up in bed to let Gus and Justin know that he was awake. “You two can stop whispering now,” Brian said sarcastically since no one seemed to notice that he was now sitting up in bed. “As you can see, I’m awake.” “Dad!” Gus said, propelling himself onto the bed and into Brian’s arms. “Gus and I thought you might wake up soon, so we took the liberty of ordering breakfast for you,” Justin said with a sinister smile. “What exactly did you order?” Brian asked, while tickling Gus. A knock on the door and the appearance the breakfast cart would soon answer Brian’s first question of the day. It seemed that between Justin legendary appetite and Gus’ inability to make decisions, the breakfast cart was unusually laden with entrées. Over breakfast, Brian formulated his second question of the day. “So Gus, what do you think we should do today?” Gus reminded Brian that they were taking Justin to the Toronto Zoo, where Gus pointed out that a zillion drawings would be made to record this particular outing in detail. Justin counter suggested, “The zoo sounds like a wonderful idea. But how about we pick up one of those disposable cameras. I can take a few quick snapshots, and that way I can actually get to see the zoo.” Gus pondered this idea for a few seconds and finally agreed that the camera idea would probably be ok. Brian found the whole negotiation thing between Justin and Gus to be amusing. A little later that day at the zoo Brian would make a random comment to Justin. “I had no idea how much money we’ve saved over the years because you documented everything in your sketchpad. If you had chosen photography as your medium of expression, I’m sure by now we would have been bankrupt,” Brian said, as they purchased their fifth disposal camera of the day. Towards the end of the afternoon, everyone went back to the hotel to have a quick nap and a shower before meeting Melanie, Lindsay, and Jenny for dinner. It had already been decided the previous night that they would all have dinner at the hotel since it was easiest for Brian and Justin. Dinner at the hotel was also a real treat for Mel and Linds…after all, how often do they get to have dinner at a four-star hotel? Dinner conversation was kept light and easy, and Gus made sure to fill his mommies in on all the details of Justin’s busy day at the zoo. The descriptions of a six year old and Justin’s constant protests were enough to keep everyone laughing during dinner. After dinner everyone said their goodbyes, and Gus went home with his mommies very excited…for they told him during dinner, that he would be going with Brian and Justin to Cincinnati for Nicky’s birthday party the following weekend. Brian and Justin returned to their hotel room for the night, since their flight didn’t leave until first thing in the morning. It had been only a few days since Justin had left New York City to return home. He and Brian had worked through a lot, and they had made a lot of decisions. At least now, they were on the same page about things, but the days had been one roller coaster ride after another, culminating in an abrupt trip to Toronto in response to a sad and lonely phone call from a six year old to his dad. Now, Brian and Justin had a few moments to just be together, and they curled up together in their hotel room. “Crisis averted,” Brian mumbled as Justin spooned against his chest. “Rage once again saves the day!” Justin added, snuggling into closer into place. “How many times do I have to tell you that I’m not Rage saving Gayopolis? It’s not my thing,” Brian said in whispered protest. “So then you think that Michael and I need to invent another superhero…. something like Super Dad? No. No. Wonder Dad? Maybe, Dad O’ Might?” Justin kept trying to make suggestions. Brian silenced Justin’s suggestions with a kiss as he wrapped his arms and legs around him. “You have really been hanging out with Mikey too long…you know that?” Brian insisted with a laugh. “It doesn’t matter what Michael and I think…your son thinks that you’re pretty wonderful.” “Yeah…he does,” Brian agreed in a whisper. “So launder your tights and your super suit…because you have to make an encore appearance this coming weekend,” Justin said with a laugh. “Since, Gus will be going with us to Cincinnati.” “Are you done?” Brian asked, pivoting Justin around to face him. “I think so,” Justin admitted, leaning in a giving him a gentle kiss. Justin straddled Brian forcing him to lean back a little. Their hard cocks came in contact with one another. Brian eventually leaned back and gave Justin THAT look…a look Justin hadn’t seen since the end of the Stockwell campaign when they were celebrating in the streets. “What are you doing?” Justin asked with a laugh. “I’m using my powers of mind control,” Brian said, without changing his expression. “Drop your pants, bend over.” Justin repeated from memory. “Surely, you can, ah, use your amazing superpowers for something more constructive?” “Try as I might, I can’t think of anything else,” Brian said with a smile, pulling Justin into a passionate kiss and rolling him over onto his back.
