This story starts off two years after Brian told Justin to get lost at Daphne's car. Justin listened that night and Brian hasn't Justin since........SATURN
Brian's POV:
God I fucking hate this office, all these morons working here, if you could call it work, it's more like shit on a board but hey, Vance thinks it's fucking brilliant. Stupid fuck! I swear sometimes I wonder why I stay here. I've thought of starting my own business, It's just never been the right time.....yeah right, I'm just to chicken shit to do it. I know it's hard to believe but I am; there is just so much that could go wrong. I'm not even sure if my clients would go with me I mean when Vance took over the office about a year ago he said that all my clients had agreed to stay with him. Fuckers! Why the fuck would they want to stay with that stupid fuck he's such an asshole.
Fuck this, it's five to six and I need to get out of here. So I grab my jacket, throw it on, pick up my briefcase and head out. I stop at Cynthia's desk.....
"Hey Cyn I'm taking off, we don't have anything pressing so why don't you head out with me." she's looking at me like I've lost my mind. What the fuck, I know we've been killing ourselves here lately...me just as much as her. "Well...would you rather stick around here?" she shakes her head and starts getting her things together. When she's all set, we head to the elevator. I push the button and it finally gets to our floor, we step in but as the doors are closing we see Vance heading our way.....close, close, close....
"Brian....Brian?!" yeah if he thinks I'm stopping this elevator he's seriously fucked. So I just shrug my shoulders as the door comes fully closed...
Cyn and I look at each other and she gives a little chuckle. We get down to the garage and go our separate ways.
"See ya Monday boss!" Cynthia says.
"Yeah Monday." With that I get into my jeep and head home....
I finally get into the loft, it took forever..... I swear nobody in this fucking town knows how to drive anymore. As I'm heading up to the bedroom my cell rings and I look at the display...of course. Mikey.
"Mikey. What's up?" I just want to take a nice hot shower.
"Brian I was wondering if you were still going to come to Woody's and Babylon tonight? You remember Ben's friend came from London today, and he wants us all to meet him." Ah yes, Ben's little friend, how could I possibly forget? It's all Ben has talked about for a week straight, since he found out his friend was coming.
"Of course Mikey, I told you I'd go." He's been freaking out all week over this, although I don't know why, because Ben loves him, he ain't going anywhere. From the way it sounds, Ben thinks of this guy as a little brother.
"I know I just wanted to make sure. So did you want to meet at the diner and get some food first?" since Mikey's been with Ben he's been a lot better at the whole clingy whiney gotta see me every single day thing. It's been nice at times. But I must say it's nice to know that I still have a best friend who wants to hang out.
"Sure Mikey. But I just walked in the door so at least let me get a shower in." I really want that shower. It sounds perfect right about now.
"Sure. I still have some inventory I gotta do at the shop so I need some time too."
"Alright why don't we meet up at about 8:30? Will that give you enough time to finish up?"
"Yep sounds perfect. See you then. Bye."
"Bye." We hang up and I head straight for the shower, of course, first stopping to fold my suit nicely and put it to the side. Why ruin a perfectly good Prada suit? I turn on the shower and take a piss while I wait for the water to heat up. When I'm done I adjust the temperature to get it perfect....nice and hot. I jump in and...."Ah. God that feels good." I let the water run over me for a good ten minutes before I get myself all washed up and get out. I grab a towel and dry off a bit, then wrap it around my waist, shave real quick and then move into the bedroom. It's only 7pm so I've still got an hour and a half. I go over and grab a beer from the fridge and sit on the couch and relax for a bit........"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Michael's POV:
I'm so glad that Brian is going to be there tonight. I'm really very nervous. I can't believe it. I think the hardest part of all this is.is that Ben and his friend have slept together. Ben says it was only once and that they both regretted it. They decided to stay friends though because that's what they were before the little indiscretion. But with Ben constantly talking about him all this week it's got me kinda freaked! I mean, Ben told me himself that he loves him, just not in 'that' way. He says that I have nothing to worry about. I'm not going to be entirely certain of that until I meet him though. But he told me; I guess that's something. He said he didn't want there to be any secrets between us. I hope this all turns out ok, I mean he has been absolutely great about the way I feel about Brian. Although honestly, he doesn't have to worry about that spot in my life anymore. Sure I love Brian but not in that way. Not anymore. Ben is my whole world now, as it should be. Uh oh it's almost 8 I better finish this shit up and get moving cause I've already called Ben and he's meeting Brian and I there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ben's POV:
I'm so excited for everyone to meet each other. I mean I love hanging out with Michael and his friends, they're great, well most of the time anyways. But it's just not the same as having friends of your own. I'm so happy he's back. I've missed him so much. We've talked on the phone a few times but not all that much. He's been extremely busy with his business and everything else he's up to. I still have no idea how he keeps everything straight. We get along so well and we know each other like the back of our hands. I'm just thankful that after we had our little detour, we could remain friends. We both freaked for about a week and avoided each other like the plague. But we eventually ran into each other and he said it was such a big mistake, that he thinks of me as an older brother. I told him I felt the same.... "Which kinda makes the whole situation ever more weird." those were his exact words, only we ended up laughing our ass' off after he said it. And that was the end of the weirdness, yes we have a little bit of a strange relationship but it works for us. I look over at the clock and .....
"Oh shit." it's already 8:30 I'm late. So with that I run out of the apartment. We don't live that far from the diner, so it doesn't take me very long to get there. When I walk in, Michael, Brian, Ted and Em are already sitting in our usual booth. I go over, lean down and give Michael a kiss on his temple and tell him.....
"I'm sorry I'm late. I lost track of time." I pull up a chair and sit down at the end of the table. He looks at me with his little smile that just makes him look so adorable.
"That's alright. You're only a couple minutes late. We were just about to order."
"Good." I say with a smile and lean in to give him another kiss.
"Hey professor, where's your little friend?" Brian asks with a smirk.
I give him a smile and say, "He called me earlier when he got home and said that he was going to take a nap and meet us at Babylon."
"Alright then. Let's order I wanna get over to Woody's and get a real drink." with that he signals for Deb. "Deb! Some service please?"
"Hey boys, what'll it be?" we give her our orders and she takes them to the kitchen to be started. We fill the time with mindless chatter and stupid sexual jokes. After a while, we finally get our food. We quickly eat and pretty much right after we're done we head out for Woody's..............
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brian's POV:
We get to Woody's and the first thing I do is go over to the bar and grab a drink. "Double beam!!" I yell at the bartender. He turns and nods towards me and hands it over.
"Here ya go Kinney."
"Thanks." I say right before I toss the shot down my throat. Ah very nice just what I
needed. Tad or was it Dan, is staring at me trying for what I'm assuming is a sexy grin,
which he fails miserably at... "another" I say. He pours and I down the next shot.
"Hey Kinney, how bout me and you get together after my shift?" Did he just wink at me? Oh my god please. I start to laugh I can't believe this guy! First of all, I already fucked him. Secondly, he wasn't that good and thirdly he fucking gave me a wink which he couldn't even get right! The other eye closed half way through! Oh god. I'm full on laughing now. jesus.
"God no!.... Another drink please." Oh poor baby I think I hurt his feelings. He's got the half sad half angry look. "Another." he says, he fills me back up and walks away. You know you'd think that people would learn by now. One fuck per person. But no. of course not. I mean we are not just talking about one or two tricks, we are talking about the majority of my tricks they all try to get another shot. I'm seriously considering putting a sign on my door. Maybe that would help. There was only ever one person that I broke that rule for and probably would've broken a lot more for if he would've stuck around. But obviously I couldn't let that happen. It took every mean, harsh word that I could come up with but I got him to leave. I still remember his face when he started to cry, that was so hard but I stood my ground and he turned and left my life forever. Ok, ok , ok don't start thinking about that again, it always spoils your mood. I order a round of beers and go over to where the boys have gotten us a pool table. Everybody grabs a beer and we get started on our game.
We play three games and naturally, I win every time, well actually, Emmett and me that is. He's almost as good as I am. Then right as we are about to take off for Babylon, Ben's cell rings....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ben's POV:
I look at the display and of course it's him.
"Hey we were just about to head out to Babylon. Are you up?" I ask.
"Yeah I'm up I was just heading out the door. I should be there in about 20 minutes." "That sounds good should I wait outside for you?"
"No I'm sure I can get in all by myself." he says with a laugh.
"Alright if you're sure. But if you have any problems getting in give me a call."
I don't want him to get stuck outside.
"I'll be fine, I've always managed to get into anywhere I want without any problems. It'll be fine."
"Alright I'll see you in about 20 minutes then?"
"Yep I'll be there. Bye"
"Bye"
I hang up and everyone is looking at me. "He's heading out the door now he should be at Babylon in about 20 minutes." I explain. I look over to Michael and he's got a small smile. I hope they like each other. They are both very important in my life.
"Well then, shall we?" Brian asks, while motioning to the door. "We wouldn't want to keep him waiting now would we?" Brian can be hard to take sometimes. But we head out. We get into Babylon and go over to the bar. It is packed tonight. I keep my eye on the door. He should be here any minute now. I feel a tap on my shoulder and I turn around.
"Hey Ben.....me and Brian are gonna go dance." Michael says.
"Alright, I'm going to wait for him and then when he gets here we'll join you."
"Sounds good." he says with that damn adorable smile again and I have to lean in for a kiss.
"Alright, alright can we dance now?" Brian interrupts, rolling his eyes. I look at him and nod my head. I let Michael's hand go at the very last moment, then watch them go into the crowd and start dancing. I watch that for a minute or two until I feel someone jump on my back.
"What the fuck?!!"
"Hey Benny boy!....miss me?" I feel him let go and I turn around. I open my arms and he jumps into them. I wrap my arms around his waist as his arms snake around my neck. I squeeze him and spin him around. He's giggling for goodness sakes and that always makes me laugh. I put him down and take a good look at him, all limbs in place ten fingers.yep, he looks great! His hair is longer but it looks good. I've still got the huge smile on my face, and he's got one to match.
"Yes! Of course I missed you. I'm so happy your home."
"You and me both. I love what I do but I hate having to go so far away." I nod my head and he takes a good look around with an even bigger smile he says, "Now this place is amazing!"
"Yeah it's pretty nice...."
"So where is the boyfriend? I can't wait to meet him, he sounds like a really great guy." At this moment I feel yet another tap on my shoulder and I turn around. I give Michael a huge smile. I look up and there's Brian. Good they can meet him together.
"Is he here yet?" he asks. I nod my head.
Turn half way "I'd like you both to meet my good friend" turn around and face him to them..."Justin Taylor!!!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Justin's POV:
I have this huge smile on my lips when Ben turns me to face his boyfriend. But what I find standing in front me, wipes that smile clean off my face. You have got to be kidding me. I shake my head and look from Brian to Michael. I can't believe this is his Michael. I know we hadn't talked much lately but how did I miss this? I think this is the shock of Michael's life, and when I look over at Brian his eyes are wide and then he shakes his head and it's back to nonchalant. I still think that's amazing.
"Justin....I'd like you to meet Michael Novonty my boyfriend of course, and Brian Kinney his best friend." I extend my hand to Michael there is no reason to be rude. It was ages ago since everything happened. He takes my hand still wide eyed.
"It's nice to meet you again Michael. I've heard a lot about you. You've made Ben extremely happy." I say with a smile.
"Wait a minute" Ben says and I look over my shoulder at him. He looks down at me "You two have already met?" then he turns to look at Michael. Michael in turn looks over his shoulder at Brian and then they both look back to me. Oh real nice leave it to me. Fine whatever.
I turn half way so I can see Ben and I say, "Brian is the one who took my virginity," he goes a little wide-eyed. I never told him specifically who or which Brian it was that took my virginity.
"You mean..... jesus I know we haven't talked much lately but how the fuck did I miss this?" he says while he shakes his head.
"I was just thinking the same thing." I say with a laugh. Ben looks at me, and starts to laugh right along with me. It's nice to be back I missed this. I look over at Brian and Michael and they are looking at each other with the 'what the fuck' expression all over both of their faces. Then they look over at us and I straighten up and slap Ben against the chest, and he straightens up.
"Um... humh. Sorry about that." I say with a smile.
"Yeah we have a tendency to do that every so often." I look at him and he smiles at me. I smile back and look back at Brian and Michael.
"Um yeah that's ok." Michael says "so this is your friend. this is him" ok kinda stating the obvious here, I guess this news shook him up more than I thought.
"Yes.... this is Justin. The one I've been talking about." Michael furrows his brow and looks at the floor.
"I thought you said that your friend was a businessman and an artist? I don't understand. Justin is only what, 19 now?" he says and looks at me for the answer.
"Yep I'm 19. As for my business, it's fine and my art is more than fine. So he didn't lie at all, I am a businessman and artist." I say in a very calm controlled voice even though I hate it when people assume that because of my age I couldn't possibly own my own very successful business. "And I'm not too shabby an artist either" I say looking straight into Brian's eyes. He just nods his head and looks away.
I look at Michael now and he's looking a little bit better, less green at least. That's a good sign I want us to get along, to be friends. However I don't know how likely that is considering the last time we met; although, he was pretty nice that night in the diner. Hey yeah he's the one with the crazy mom, I really liked her. "So Michael how's your mom doing? She was nice when I met her. "I swear every one gets whiplash from what I said. Why?
"Um yeah she's good. Still working at the diner....."
"When the fuck did he meet Deb?" Brian asks. He's not looking so good, he must hate that I'm here. He worked very hard to get me out of his life and now here I am once again right smack dab in the middle. Well guess what. this time I don't want to be here.
"That night he showed up at Woody's and you said he wasn't your responsibility. Remember?" he's looking at Brian and Brian is just so confused. Well fuck I don't know why he wants to know it doesn't matter. "Well anyways, you left so I took him to the diner and Ma was working that night and he met her." Michael turned to me, "she liked you, she asked about you a couple times after you disappeared, you should stop by and see her I think she'd like that." I smile at him. I think he's trying maybe this won't be so bad after all.
"Thanks I think I will. I just bought a house here so I think I'll be spending a lot of time around liberty."
"You bought a house?" I hear Ben yell. Oh that's right I hadn't told him yet. Woops!
I turn to look at him, and with a small smile I say. "Yeah I bought a house it's really great and it's perfect for an artist, big windows, lots of light and lots of room, maybe too much room. It's got a pool and a jacuzzi. I'm telling you it's perfect for me." Now my smile is huge I know it is, it's hurting my cheeks but I'm too excited. He finally smiles, and.
"God that's great Jus, have you already moved in or what?"
"I had the movers move me in when I knew I was coming back and all the furniture was shipped from all over Europe. The house isn't all put together yet but I wanted to do that on my own. I want it to be perfect".... Ben nods his head. "But that's enough of that, we can discuss all these types of things another time; for now Benny why don't you buy me a drink?" He turns to the bar and orders me a double Absolute Vodka, and a double beam to chase it. A little strange I know but it works for me. He hands me my Vodka and I toss it down. Ah the first is always the hardest. Then he hands over the Beam. Toss that back and oh yeah that's much better. Well now I wanna dance. Ben may be my friend but Michael is his boyfriend, so I turn to Michael and ask... "Hey Michael do you mind if I borrow your boyfriend for a dance or two?"
"Sure Justin you two have fun.....but not too much fun and hands above the waist at all times" he says with a little smile so I know he doesn't really think I want Ben in that way. I give him a mock salute and march my way to the dance floor dragging Ben with me. I do however stop so they can get a kiss and an I love you in beforehand.
God I missed dancing, I love it, the beat, the rhythm and all the gorgeous men. Oh boy I'm going to have some fun tonight I'm really glad I got that nap in earlier. I look around and I spot the first one for tonight. Tall, dark and handsome, they're always tall, dark and handsome. Ok we are definitely not going to do this, especially now with everything. I shake my head and give Ben a big grin and nod my head over to the trick I picked. He gives a small smile and a nod and I turn to go get him. I'm going to fuck him so hard I need it fast and hard, especially after all of this excitement. So I stand a few feet from him, give him a sly, sexy, mischievous grin and he comes the rest of the way to me. Wraps his arms around me and pulls me in close. I wrap my arms around his neck, and pull his lips to mine. I'm in no mood to wait. I push my tongue past his lips and kiss him deeply.god I need this! I tangle my fingers in his hair and pull him in closer crushing his lips to mine. I hear him moan and feel him pull me, and squeeze me to him. He rubs our cocks together and I get even harder, I pull him away from me by his hair and I hear him groan, damn this is going to be so good. I know he thought he was in control. He's going to quickly find out that he's not. I lick from his chin to his ear running my tongue up and then down his outer ear I hear him moan again. I blow lightly against his ear and I feel him shiver. I ask "where's the backroom" in a voice just loud enough to barely be heard over the pounding music. I feel him breathe against my ear it's a little ragged, and hard. I like that. He points to the walk way under the staircase. I grab the front of his pants and pull him in behind me. The first catch of the night is always the best.......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brian's POV:
Am I going insane here? This cannot be happening! Fuck! I can't believe this. Justin is Ben's best friend, how that worked out I have no idea, the age difference alone is amazing enough. He's here in Babylon. He just bought a house in Pittsburgh. Fuck! He said he's going to be around liberty a lot now, and he calls Ben Benny. Can you believe it? But the kicker is the show he's putting on in front of all of Babylon.....God I got hard just from watching. But oh wait he's saying something to the guy.....the trick seems to really like what he hears. I get this uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach, from watching this. Huh? What's that all about? What the fuck is this? The trick motions to the backroom and now Justin is leading him back there by the front of his pants. What the fuck? Oh I don't think so. I make my way over to the backroom and I start looking for them. I walk through and I'm almost all the way to the back when I see them. He's got the trick against the wall kissing him and undoing his pants, then he pushes them down over his ass. He whispers into the tricks ear again while undoing his own pants and I see the tricks eyes go wide. Humph, I wonder what that's all about? I move a little closer and I hear the trick say "No I'm a top." Justin pulls back and with a slight grin says" Not tonight" and with that he spins the guy around and starts preparing him. When did he even do the lube and condom? Before I know it Justin is sliding into the trick nice and slow. He stops when he's all the way inside, he whispers into the man's ear, but this I can't hear. He starts pounding into the tricks ass slow but hard. He's still whispering when all the sudden I hear the trick practically scream "Oh god yes..... please fuck me..... harder.!!!" Justin picks up his pace and slams into him twisting his hips. The trick throws his head back and "oh god yes please....please!" All the sudden Justin turns and looks directly into my eyes. I stare back right into his eyes and then the tricks cuming with a deep throaty scream. Just then it hits Justin I can see the moment it does cause his eyes droop and his head lolls back and he shoves himself as far up the guys ass as possible. Never breaking the lock of our eyes. The trick slumps against the wall when Justin lets go of his waist. Then in no time Justin is standing in front of me, a breath away. I can smell him, he smells so sweet. He comes up to whisper in my ear, oh god I wanna wrap my arms around him...
"I liked seeing you when I came." he kisses the lobe of my ear and then the side of my neck. And my eyes close and I feel myself shiver from the kiss. So, so soft. Nobody ever kisses me like this. It feels amazing. Better than those wild frenzied kisses that I get at a constant pace, or maybe I'm just not getting it from the right place.....with that thought Justin gives me a quick kiss on the lips and he walks calmly back out to the main floor. Oh my god, that kiss was way too fast, but I can still feel how soft his lips were. God they're perfect. So get this, I've thought about this moment too many times to count since I sent him away that night. Only I thought that he'd be the one chasing me, not the other way around.... I see I may have to rethink some things may have to rethink some things.
