Brian watched as they lowered the casket into the ground. He tightened his hold on Justin’s hand. He wished it could have been different. After the service was done, Brian and Justin went home. Brian went straight into the bedroom and didn’t come out. Justin stayed in the living room giving Brian some time. A couple of hours later, Debbie came to the loft with Eric. “Hey.” Debbie said coming in. “Hey.” Justin said and closed the door. “Wer Daddy?” Eric asked. “Daddy’s sleeping.” Justin said. Eric smiled and ran to the bedroom. “I brought you guys something to eat.” Debbie said, showing him the bag with food. Justin took it and walked to the kitchen. “How is he doing?” Debbie asked, coming behind Justin. “It’s hitting him hard.” Justin said. “He and his father came to some common ground and I know…I know he wanted more from that.” Debbie’s heart broke. She remembered the many nights she had to let Brian spend the night. The many nights she held him and didn’t know what to tell him when the brunet asked why his parents couldn’t love him. Debbie looked towards the bedroom and saw Brian lifting his arm and Eric getting right under it. She smiled and knew that Brian was a good father and that he wasn’t going to make the same mistakes that Jack had done. “I should go.” Debbie said and kissed Justin on the cheek. “You take care of him.” Justin smiled and nodded. He watched her go before he focused his attention on Brian who was getting up with Eric. “We are going to watch cartoons.” Brian said rolling his eyes. Justin smiled knowing really well that Brian enjoyed watching cartoons with Eric. He walked to where Brian and Eric had sat down on the sofa. He kissed Brian on the cheek and ran his fingers through the brunet’s hair. “Do you want anything to eat?” Justin asked. “Uh, sure.” Brian said. “Yum!” Eric said clapping. “I guess he is hungry too.” Justin said smirking. Justin kissed Brian again. “I love you.” Justin told him. Brian smiled and nodded. Justin then started walking to the kitchen to prepare something for his boys. “I luv you, daddy.” Eric said and hugged Brian. Justin turned around and looked at Brian who was hugging Eric. Brian had teary eyes and looked at Justin with a smile. He vowed that he would never treat Eric the way Jack had treated him. Justin smiled, knowing that Brian would be okay. That they were going to be okay. *** Justin opened the door and looked at Joan. “How can I help you?” Justin asked coldly. “Where is my son?” Joan asked. “What’s going on?” Brian asked coming to see what his mother wanted. “What do you want?” “I came to see my grandsons.” Joan informed them. “You do know Eric is Justin’s biological son.” Brian told her. “Jack told me.” Joan said as she looked at Justin. “So it doesn’t bother you?” Brian asked. Joan shrugged. “These kids shouldn’t be living with you.” Joan told him. Brian scoffed. “Gus lives with his mothers.” Brian told her. “Oh my god. You have to do something, Brian. This is wrong.” Joan told him. “If you want to see your grandsons, you’d better shut the fuck up about what you think. I love Justin and there is nothing wrong with it.” Brian told his mother. Joan took a deep breath. “I’m sorry.” Joan told him looking away. “You are sorry? Sorry is bull…” “Brian.” Justin said stopping him. “Relax.” Brian glared at Justin. “I’m going to go get Eric. Let her in.” Justin said. Brian wanted to slap Justin a few times. He wanted the blond to see that Joan didn’t deserve to be forgiven. “What are you doing here?” Brian asked his mother. “Why?” “I talked to your father before he died.” Joan said frowning. “And well, he was happy. And he couldn’t stop talking about you and your…your family.” Brian looked at her and saw it in her eyes. She was lonely. Brian took a deep breath and let her in. “If you fuck this up, I’ll throw you out the window.” Brian told her. “Brian, that’s no way to talk to me.” Joan told him. “I’m your mother.” Brian rolled his eyes. “Hi.” Eric said. Joan turned to look at Eric. She smiled at the boy. “Eric, this is your…grandmother.” Justin said not sure if he should be giving Joanne a second chance. Joan smiled and took Eric’s hand. “Hi, Eric.” Joan said. Eric giggled and batted his eyes at her. Brian looked heavenward and wondered why his boy had to be so damn cute. He’s mother wasn’t going to leave ever. He looked at Justin who was watching him and arched a brow. Justin gave him a small smile and then focused his attention on Joan and Eric. Brian looked at them and knew his mother wasn’t going anywhere. He might as well get used to that. He really hoped that Claire wouldn’t be coming next or he might go crazy. *** Brian was just staring at the ceiling, waiting for Justin to wake up. He bit his lower lip, anxious for his partner to get up. When he got tired of waiting, he just started to poke Justin’s ribs. “Sunshine.” Brian sing sang. “Mmm.” Justin grunted and moved away. Brian pulled him closer to him and started kissing his blond’s neck. “Wakey, wakey.” Brian told him. Justin buried his head on Brian’s chest. “Justin.” Brian said as he pushed the blond away from him but didn’t let go. Justin opened his eyes and looked at Brian. “What is it, Brian?” Justin asked yawning. “I’ve been thinking about this for a while. I was going to do it before, but…I wanted to wait after the operation.” Brian told him. “It didn’t make any difference to me, but I though you would like that; hearing me say it.” Justin sat up in the bed an arched a brow. He wondered what Brian was talking about since the brunet had already told him he loved him. “So?” Justin asked hesitantly. “Look at your hands.” Brian said. Justin looked at his hands and frowned when he saw that his ring was missing. Now he was really getting scared. He wondered if Brian was telling him it was over. “Brian.” Justin whispered. “Would you marry me?” Brian asked. “What?” Justin asked taken aback. “I’m not saying it again.” Brian murmured as he looked away from the blond. Justin’s lips started to curve into a grin that turned into a big, blinding smile. “Oh my god.” Justin said. “You mean it.” Brian nodded. “You are sure about this?” Justin asked. Brian smiled and looked at Justin. “I am sure, Justin.” Brian told him. “So what do you say?” “Yes!” Justin told him. “Yes!” Brian smiled and kissed Justin. “We are going to get married.” Brian told him. “I have to tell my Mom and Hunter and Emmett and everyone.” Justin said as he jumped from the bed. Brian smiled and watched the blond go. He lay back in bed and thought about what he had just done. He was one hundred percent sure he wanted to get married. “Brian!” Justin said jumping on top of the brunet. “Oh god.” Brian moaned. “If you kill me, you won’t be able to marry me.” Justin giggled. “We should celebrate first.” Justin said wiggling his eyebrows suggestively. Brian smiled and turned them around. He kissed Justin hard and then pulled away to look at his blond. There wasn’t anyone in the planet that Brian wanted to spend the rest of his life with but Justin. *** Justin smiled and walked over to Ethan. “That was magnificent.” Justin said. Ethan smiled and bowed to Justin. He put his violin inside his case and stepped down to talk to Justin for a little while. “Do you want something to drink?” Ethan asked. Justin nodded and they walked to the bar. Both of them asked for champagne. “So, how you been?” Ethan asked. “Great.” Justin said smiling. “How about you?” “I’m okay. Practicing all the time and hoping someone notices my greatness.” Ethan said. Justin nodded slightly as he listened to Ethan. His eyes, on the other hand, were focused on Brian. “So, where is your ring?” Ethan asked. “Oh.” Justin said looking at his hand with a smile. “Brian has it. He is engraving them. We are going to get married.” “What?” Ethan asked. “Yeah.” Justin said smiling. “He really surprised me. I didn’t know he was thinking about it.” “Justin!” Emmett said coming to them. “Is it true?” Justin nodded and then frowned and shook his head. “Wait, what are you talking about?” Justin asked smirking. “You are getting married.” Emmett said. Justin nodded. “Oh my god.” Emmett said hugging the blond. “Tell me everything about it. “I will never finish.” Justin said. “God, I can’t wait.” Emmett smiled and clapped. “We are having a ceremony here for all the family to see and share it with us.” Justin said. “Then we are going to Vermont and get married.” “Oh my god.” Emmett shrieked. “I have to go back and play.” Ethan said dryly. “Okay.” Justin said and nodded. “Come on.” Emmett said pulling Justin by the arm. “I want to know how he asked you. Every detail.” Ethan frowned as Emmett and Justin walked away. His eyes landed on Brian and saw that the brunet had been looking at them. Ethan’s glare intensified. Brian smirked and raised his glass towards Ethan before he drank it and moved on. Ethan was boiling. He had to come up with something to make sure Brian and Justin broke up. *** “No.” Eric said shaking his head. “No!” “What?” Brian asked as he tried to dance with his little boy. “You doin wong.” Eric told him. “Even your son knows you can’t dance.” Justin teased. “I heard that, Sunshine.” Brian told him as he was leaning forward so his son could reach his hands. “Everything is ready.” Justin said as he closed his agenda. “I’m so happy.” Brian smiled and picked Eric up. He walked over to the blond and kissed him. “Are you?” Brian asked. “Really, truly, disgustingly happy?” Justin smiled widely and nodded. “Are you happy?” Justin asked getting up. “Oh yeah.” Brian assured him and kissed him. Justin still couldn’t believe that two months ago, Brian had asked him to be his husband. Now in less than two days, they were going to be married. “Debbie called and said that everything was ready. The caterers called and confirmed with me about an hour ago. Uh, Vic said he is taking care of the cake and that everything is coming along nicely. Dad said that he would go by the store and pick up the rings. I’m really glad you two are getting along. Oh, and I think they had a little rumble as to whom was going to stay with Eric.” Justin said smirking. “Between who?” Brian asked. “Debbie, Mom and the girls.” Justin said. “Guess who won?” Brian arched a brow and smirked. “My Mom. / Your mom.” Justin and Brian said at the same time and laughed. “She’s coming for Eric at three.” Justin said. “Why?” Brian asked. “We are not leaving until tomorrow.” “Because the boys are coming too.” Justin said. “They are giving you a bachelor party.” “What about you?” Brian asked. “Oh, they prepared something for me too.” Justin assured him. “Me dan.” Eric said as he grabbed Brian’s face with his two little hands. “Dan.” Brian smiled and put Eric down. “He is on a mission.” Justin said smirking. “He’ll teach you how to dance.” “Just remember there is a thing call payback.” Brian grumbled. Justin smiled and watched as Eric and Brian moved from side to side to the soft music playing in the loft. He couldn’t be happier doing anything else. *** Brian sat down next to Vic who was telling him that the cake he prepared was perfect. Brian was enjoying himself in the little bachelor party they prepared. One minute he was with Justin in the loft and the next Justin was gone and a bunch of guys were coming in with food and alcohol and what not. Some of them he had never seen in his life but he really didn’t care. The music was on and there were people dancing and having a good time. “Another drink for our bachelor.” Emmett said giving Brian a double beam. Brian took it and thanked him. “Are you trying to get him drunk?” Michael asked Emmett when they were away from Brian. “Just a little tipsy.” Emmett said smirking. “You know why.” Michael smirked and nodded before he went to sit down next to Ben. Moments later Emmett got everyone’s attention by turning off the music. “As we know.” Emmett stated. “There is always a stripper at bachelor parties.” Brian looked at Michael who shrugged. “And we have one…two…three of them.” Emmett said. “Who is paying for this?” Brian asked Vic who was closer to him. “Don’t worry about it.” Vic told him. “Here they are.” Emmett said. The guy that came with Ted opened the door to the loft and three guys walked in. One was dressed in black, the other one in dark blue and the third one in white. The one in dark blue walked to where Michael and Ben were sitting. The one in white walked towards Ted and Vic and the one in black walked towards Brian. All of them were wearing masks matching their outfits. Then the music started again and the strippers started dancing. “I’m so telling Justin if you touch one of them.” Hunter threatened. “Fuck you.” Brian signaled back. Hunter and Brian smirked and then laughed. Hunter shook his head and went to get a beer. One of the strippers took of his gloves and then the other two followed. Emmett came towards Brian with another drink and took Brian’s empty glass. “Oh yeah, baby.” Ted commented when the strippers took off their shirts. “Whoo!” Ben shouted. “Ben!” Michael chastised. “Enjoy it, Michael.” Ben told him, following every movement that the stripper in front of him made. Brian laughed and shook his head. He was having a good time regardless of the fact that he was missing Justin. “Are you having fun?” Emmett asked Brian. Brian looked up at the man and nodded. “You are not too drunk are you? You are kind of slow.” Emmett pointed out. “I’m okay.” Brian assured him. “Good.” Emmett said and walked away to sit down and enjoy the show. “Oh, they are good.” Ted said as the stripper in front of him sat on his lap. “I could get used to this.” Vic told them laughing. Brian smirked and shook his head. He drank his drink and enjoyed the show. The stripper in black moved closer to Brian and caressed Brian’s face. Brian frowned and pushed the guy’s hand away. The stripper straddled Brian’s lap and danced. He rubbed himself all over Brian. “Having fun?” The stripper asked in a husky voice. “Uh, yeah.” Brian said. “You should get up.” Brian looked at Ethan who was looking at him. He didn’t know who had invited the man, but Brian really didn’t care. “I just want you to have a good time.” The stripper said and then leaned forward and kissed Brian hard. The stripper got up from Brian’s lap and resumed his dancing. Brian licked his lips and watched him, stunned. Then the other two strippers took off their pants and ended up in just a thong. As soon as the one in black was going to do the same Brian got up and stopped him. “You must be delusional if you think anyone in here is getting a glimpse of that ass.” Brian told him. Brian gripped the stripper’s ass and smiled. “What the fuck do you think you are doing…Sunshine?” “How did you know, Brian?” Justin asked in his normal voice as he kept dancing against Brian. “Well…the kiss.” Brian confessed. “And then you turned around. I would know this ass anywhere.” Justin laughed. “Want to have some fun?” Justin asked in the voice he had been using. “Oh yeah.” Brian said as they move towards the bedroom. Brian and Justin went inside the bathroom where Brian lifted Justin and sat him on the counter. He smiled and took Justin’s pants off. He smiled when he saw the boots Justin was wearing. He was going crazy watching Justin in a pair of high heel boots that went up to his knees, the black thong and the black mask all clashing with Justin’s skin color. “You look so fucking hot.” Brian told him. “Do you want to fuck me?” Justin asked. “What do you think?” Brian asked as he started to undo his pants. They attacked each other with kisses and bites and rough caresses. Brian ripped Justin’s thong away from him and opened his blond’s leg to prepare him. Justin lifted his legs and put them on Brian’s shoulders. He moaned as Brian finger fucked him. “This is kind of kinky.” Brian said as he pushed his hard, leaking, condom sheathed cock inside his blond. “Fuck.” Justin moaned. “Are you okay?” Brian asked. Justin nodded and pushed back against Brian. They fucked hard and fast. Their moans filled the bathroom. The music outside hid their screams of passion. Not that it matter to either of them. Justin only could hear Brian’s whispers and Brian was focused on Justin’s moans. Soon enough, both of them were reaching an end. Justin was the one that came first triggering Brian’s climax. “Of fuck!” Brian moaned and splashed his cum inside Justin. “Shit.” Justin said. “That was so fucking good.” Brian smiled and nodded as he rested his body on top of Justin’s. “Not bad for a stripper.” Brian told him. Justin laughed and kissed Brian. “I like the boots.” Brian told him. Justin assured him that they could keep them. There was a knock on the door and Brian pulled away from Justin. He got rid of the condom and pulled his pants up. He opened the door and found Emmett standing there. “What do you want?” Brian asked. “I’m waiting for Justin.” Emmett said. “What?” Brian asked. “He can’t spend the night here.” Emmett told him. “He has to come with me. Its bad luck if he stays with you the day before his wedding.” Justin smiled and got down from the bathroom counter. He grabbed a towel and walked over to Brian. He turned Brian around and kissed him hard. “I’ll see you later, lover.” Justin said using the other voice. Brian smiled and watched Justin go. Justin got dressed quickly in their bedroom and left with Emmett. Brian took a deep breath and let it go. Tomorrow he and Justin would be married. A night apart wasn’t going to kill them. *** Brian rubbed his temples as he looked at Michael taking his bag and putting it close to the door. Ted was on the phone checking the reservations for the hotel. Craig had come to the loft in the morning and asked if he could help with anything. He was on the other phone checking the airplane tickets. Vic was on the loft’s phone talking to Debbie who was at the house with everyone else. Everything was on its way. “We have forty-five minutes, people.” Michael yelled. “Here, Brian. It’s Justin.” Brian took the phone and smiled. “Hi, baby.” Brian said. “Did you call the hotel?” Justin asked. “Yes.” Brian told him. “The airline?” Justin asked. “Stop it Emmett.” “Yes.” Brian repeated. “Did you prepare Eric’s things?” Justin asked pushing Emmett away. “Yes, Sunshine.” Brian told him rolling his eyes. “What the hell is going over there?” “Emmett wants to put makeup on me.” Justin said. Brian smirked. “How did you sleep?” Justin asked. “I missed you.” Brian said. Justin smiled. “I missed you too.” Justin told him. “We have to go.” Emmett said grabbing the phone. “You guys can talk later.” Brian frowned when he heard the line go dead. He looked at his watch and bit his lover lip. Brian yelled at everyone to get out; that they were leaving. He took his suit and walked out of the loft following Michael. “Did you get everything?” Michael asked. “Yes, they called the hotel and the airline agency. I called Cynthia. I prepared Eric’s bag and mine.” Brian said. “Am I missing something?” Michael shook his head. “Oh wait.” Brian said going back into the loft. Brian opened the door and walked into his bedroom. Michael followed Brian as everyone else went down. Brian opened the drawer and pulled out a little box that had their rings. “You wouldn’t want to forget that.” Michael said smirking. “Craig brought them last night and I forgot.” Brian explained. Brian then gave them to Michael. *** “I’m so nervous.” Justin said trying to do his tie. Emmett grabbed the tie and pulled it away. “This shirt looks way better without the tie.” Emmett assured him as he opened on button on Justin’s shirt. “Relax.” “Right.” Justin said taking a deep breath. Emmett smiled and kissed him on the temple. “It’s going to be okay. Nothing bad is going to happen. I can feel it.” Emmett said. “You and Brian deserve this day.” Justin nodded. “You did it.” Emmett told him. “You managed to trap Brian fucking Kinney. And he loves you so much. Otherwise he wouldn’t be doing this. He swore he never was going to get married.” Justin nodded. “You are special.” Emmett told him. “And you don’t have to be worried about anything.” “I know. I can’t help it.” Justin said. “Come on.” Emmett said brushing Justin’s shoulder. “You look perfect. Ready?” Justin nodded. Emmett smiled and they walked out of the little room. *** “Oh god. You look so hot.” Michael told his friend with a smirk. “Down, boy.” Brian told him smiling. Michael laughed. “Are you ready?” Michael asked. Brian took a deep breath and nodded. “Yes.” Brian said. “Wow. You are getting married.” Michael said. “I know.” Brian told him. “Can you believe it Mikey?” “Yes and No.” Michael said. “Wow.” “Okay. You have the rings.” Brian told him. Michael nodded. “Then let’s go.” Brian said. Michael and Brian headed out. It was going to be a great day. *** Ethan looked himself in the mirror and smiled. He was ready to go to Justin’s wedding and stop it. He would do anything he had to, but Justin was not going to marry Brian. He had the perfect plan. He would tell everyone how he and Justin had been seeing each other. He took his wallet and his keys along with his violin. He had promised Lindsay that he would play as the grooms walked to the altar. He was going to make sure that Justin Taylor was his and no one else’s. He left his apartment and headed out with his invitation tucked away in his blazer pocket. He smiled as he imagined how happy he and Justin were going to be. He looked at his watch and smiled. He would be there in no time. He gripped the handle of the violin case tighter and walked a little faster.
