Justin got in and closed the door. He took off his tie and dropped it on the floor. He walked to the living room where Brian was drinking a beer. “I’m free tomorrow.” “I’m not.” Brian said. “It figures.” Justin said sitting down. “So what did you do today?” “Nothing,” “Bet you are really tired.” Justin said. Brian arched a brow and smirk. “You are still the class clown, Taylor?” “Hey, at least I’m not Mr. Broody.” Justin said. “So why are you like this?” “I’m thinking,” Justin nodded. “About us?” “Yeah,” “Oh,” Justin said. “I have been thinking about us too.” “Don’t tell me you change your mind. I already call mom and told her I was gay and we were dating.” “You did what?” Justin asked yelling. “Have you lost your fucking mind?” Brian smirked. “Uh,” Justin said rolling his eyes. “You are an idiot.” “And you are still gullible.” Brian told him. Justin smiled and got up. He sat back down next to Brian. “We are still us. That’s good.” Justin whispered referring to the fact that they still joked around. “Yeah,” Brian agreed. “The only thing is that now we get to kiss.” Justin murmured getting close to Brian. Brian put his beer down and looked at Justin. He moved in slowly to kiss Justin when there was a knocked on the door. “Fuck,” Justin said getting up quickly. Justin opened the door and Daphne came in rushing with Angel and his things. “What’s going on?” Justin asked. “I need to leave Angel here.” Daphne said. “Jessica is sick and he can’t be near her. I am taking care of her and if I do I can’t touch him.” “But Daphne,” “Justin,” Daphne hissed. “You don’t work tomorrow. I know because I called your captain.” “You went over my head and called my captain?” Justin asked incredulous. “Plus it’s not even that. I have no clue whatsoever on how to take care of him. I mean I go and play with him and all that but that’s when you guys are there and…” “Justin.” “What?” Justin asked. “You are babbling,” Daphne said. Brian came towards them and picked up Angel. “I know how to take care of a baby. I can teach you.” Brian said. Justin smiled sweetly at him. Daphne looked at the two of them and knew that something was going on. She didn’t have time to find out right away but she was going to. “Hey Brian.” Daphne said smiling. “Daphne,” Brian said nodding to her. “I brought everything. He has clothes and diapers and his food and milk. Um, I brought that toy he likes. If you wave it at him he stops crying. He sleeps most of the day anyway. Anything happens and you call me.” “Daphne!” “What?” Daphne asked screaming. “Breathe.” Justin told her. Brian shook his head at the two of them and walked with Angel to the living room. “Right, uh, Stacy said she could pick him up on Sunday. So by then I’m hoping that Jessica is better.” “Okay,” Justin told her. “Thank you.” Daphne said kissing Justin in the lips really quick. “Thank you.” Justin smiled and nodded. Daphne left quickly after that. “So why didn’t you have him with Daphne?” Brian asked when they were in the living room changing Angel. Justin looked up at Brian and frowned. He looked back at Angel before he answered Brian. “She can’t have babies, Brian.” “Oh.” “It was horrible when we found out. At first we had thought there was something wrong with me. Then the doctor told us what was going on.” “So Jessica was the answer.” Justin smiled and nodded. “Daphne didn’t talk to me for about a month. Then one day the two of them come walking in with the idea and smiling happily. I didn’t ask anything. I just nodded and did it.” Justin said shrugging. “I would do anything to make her happy.” “You are an excellent man.” Brian told him and got up. “Thanks.” Brian caressed Justin’s lips when the phone started ringing. “Fuck,” Brain whispered. “Don’t let my son hear you.” Justin told him and moved to answer the phone. *** Justin couldn’t believe what was happening. He wanted to shoot someone or himself for that matter. As long as he didn’t have to be sitting there he would gladly die. Anything was better that the hell he was going through right now. “So how you been?” Ethan asked. “Good,” Justin said looking at Debbie that was smiling. “What are you doing here?” “I invited him.” Debbie said. “I told her it was a bad idea.” Vic said. Jessica and Daphne looked at each other with worried faces. “He said he wanted to see Sunshine.” Debbie said. “They made such a cute couple.” “This is not good.” Ted whispered to Emmett. “Look at the way Brian is looking at Ethan.” Brian sat there feeling like it was his duty to kill Ethan. He couldn’t believe how mad he was feeling right now. Justin had never told him he had been seeing someone seriously. Brian frowned thinking Justin didn’t owe him any explanations but still he was pissed to see Justin’s ex-lover at the table. “Are you seeing anyone?” Ethan asked. “I…” “Yeah, he is.” Brian said. Justin just stood there quiet wondering how the hell he was going to get out of that one. If he said that it was Brian he was going to be in deep trouble since he promised Brian he wasn’t going to tell anyone. He had told the guys but they were not going to say anything. Then there was the fact that if he stayed quiet Ethan was going to think he was lying. “You are?” Ethan asked surprised. “Wow,” Michael whispered to Ben. “This is too good to be true. We might actually see blood run tonight.” “Shh,” Ben told him. “I didn’t know you were seeing someone, Sunshine.” Debbie said. “Who is he?” Justin laughed and thought about how crazy it all was. “Well,” Ethan said. “You don’t know him.” Justin said to Ethan. “Does he treat you good?” Ethan asked. “Better than you ever did.” Justin hissed. Brian was seriously thinking of pulling out his gun and shooting Ethan. Brian looked at Justin and smiled at little at the things Justin made him want to do even when the blonde wasn’t pushing him himself. “Okay, who wants dessert?” Vic asked while getting up. “Maybe I should go.” Ethan said, also getting up. “Yeah maybe you should.” Justin said. “Sunshine, you are being awfully rude.” Debbie said. “Ma!” Michael whined. “I think he has a right to be pissed. Ethan treated him like shit and even cheated on him. Plus I think someone might feel a little jealous about this whole thing. Right Br…” “Michael!” Ben and Emmett said. Michael smiled and looked at Brian who was glaring at him. Brian looked at Justin and wondered if the blonde had said anything to anyone. “Never mind.” Michael said forgetting for a minute that he wasn’t supposed to say anything. “I’m going to go check on Angel.” Jessica said. “I’m going to go.” Ethan said walking away to get his coat. Justin got up and followed him. Everyone else got up to do something. Either it was to use the bathroom, get something to drink or get closer to Ethan and Justin to hear what they were saying. “Don’t come here again.” Justin warned him. “I’m sorry. I just wanted to see you.” Ethan said. Ethan smiled at Justin and nodded. “I’m sorry for everything, Jus.” “Whatever.” “I hope you are happy with whoever you are.” Ethan said and kissed Justin on the lips. Justin was shocked and pulled away. Brian moved forward and punched Ethan. He couldn’t believe that the little weasel would go so far. Brian was furious to say the least. Justin’s lips belonged to him and no one else. “Keep your fucking paws off of him.” Brian yelled. Daphne stopped going up the stairs, her foot just hanging up about to touch the next step. Emmett’s mouth hung open and Vic didn’t even turn to look at what was happening. Debbie’s hand stood frozen in the air about to give Michael a beer and Michael’s hand was also in the air about to receive it. Ben didn’t move but was ready in case he needed to intervene. Jessica sat down and found something very interesting in Angel’s face because she wasn’t looking up. Ted frantically looked around from person to person not sure if it was him, the people around him or if time had really stopped moving. Brian looked at Justin and wondered if he had overreacted. Justin wasn’t actually his but he liked to think that one day the blonde would belong to him. Brian looked at Ethan and frowned. He wanted the guy to leave. Ethan got up and looked at Justin who was looking at the floor. Brian was glaring at him and he had an idea of what was going on. “You are with him.” Ethan said in a really low voice. Justin looked up but didn’t say anything. “I’m sorry, okay. I didn’t know.” Ethan said looking at Brian. Brian stepped away and Ethan passed by. “What the fuck is going on?” Debbie screamed. “What does he mean you are with him, Sunshine?” Brian looked at them and his heart started racing. He looked at Justin that was looking at him for help. Brian looked at them and shrugged. “We are together.” Brian told them. “Where is dessert?” Brian asked sarcastically. Justin looked at him and then at the rest of the people in the house. Life with Brian was going to be anything but boring.
