Justin was sitting on the edge of the bed and looking outside the window. He kept rubbing circles on Daphne’s hand and thinking of what he could do to stop all the madness. He wanted to run in the middle of the street and yell to the people that where trying to kill him ‘here I am shoot me now and be over with it’. Justin looked over at Brian who was sleeping on the other chair and smiled. Justin knew he wouldn’t do anything so hasty then. He would miss his friends and school. He would miss his father telling him what to do, his mother pampering him, his sister bothering him to no end. He looked at Daphne and knew that she needed him, they needed each other. Justin looked at Brian and smiled. He would miss Brian’s kisses, his caresses, his words, his lips and everything else Brian and him shared. Brian was his life and he was afraid to die and not being able to enjoy it. Justin looked at Daphne when she squeezed his hand and smiled before she nodded off again. He was relieved that the doctor said she was going to be just fine. Everything was okay for now. Brian said he was going to take care of him and he believed him. “Why are you smiling like that?” Jake asked. Justin looked up and shrugged. “I’m just thinking.” Justin told him. Jake smirked and nodded. “Shouldn’t you guys go back? I’ll leave someone with her.” Jake assured him. “Really?” “Yeah.” Jake said smiling. “Uh, Brian…Brian, wake up.” Justin said shaking Brian a little bit. Brian opened his eyes and smiled. “Hey, baby.” Justin smiled. “We are leaving. You need to rest and I need a shower.” Justin told him. Once they were outside, Justin and Brian got in the jeep. “Ben and Kevin are back at the house. I’ll drop you off there.” Brian said. “Where are you going?” Justin asked. Brian looked at his watch and then at Justin. “I have a date.” “A date? Are you shitting me?” Justin asked mad. “What kind of boyfriend are you?” Brian raised his eyebrow. “Brian.” “What?” Brian asked. “Do you want to be my boyfriend?” Justin asked biting his lower lip. “Yeah.” “Oh okay. Now, what kind of boyfriend are you? I don’t want you to see other guys if you are with me!” Justin yelled. Brian smirked. “He’s too special baby. I can’t help myself.” “Fuck you!” Justin said and pouted. “He has these wonderful people skills. He has big green eyes.” “I don’t want to hear this, Brian.” Justin told him. Brian smiled and kept going. “I love him very much and I know he loves me and accepts me like I am. He looks up to me.” “I look up to you, Brian. I accept you just the way you are. Don’t do this please.” Justin told him sobbing. Brian laughed. “How can you be so jealous of a two year old?” “Wha…What!” Justin asked glaring at Brian. “It’s my son, Gus.” Brian told him. “Brian is there anything you have to tell me?” Justin asked. Brian laughed. “I was a donor for a friend.” Brian explained. “At first I wasn’t going to be involved but once I saw him and held him I couldn’t stay away.” “You are a good man.” Justin told him smiling while he brushed a tear away. “Although sometimes you go off the deep end but you are a good man.” Brian smiled and looked at Justin. “Do you want to come?” “Really? Yeah.” Brian smiled and kept driving to the diner. When they got there, Justin was a wreck. “What if he doesn’t like me?” Justin asked. “He will.” “How do you know?” “Because I like you, Justin.” “Right.” Justin agreed. They went inside the diner and sat in one of the booths. “Hello Brian.” Debbie said. “And what is this cute kid doing with you?” “I’m not a kid.” Justin told her pouting. “He’s my…he’s my boyfriend.” Brian told her. Debbie started at him before she looked back at Justin. “Is he serious?” Justin nodded. Debbie smiled and pulled Justin up. “Congratulations, hon. You must be something else. Brian Kinney is not an easy catch.” “You are telling me.” Justin mocked. “Sit your bubble butt down and order something.” Brian told him. Justin smiled and did so. After they ordered, Debbie left them alone. She had a smile from ear to ear. A few minutes later Lindsey and Mel came in with Gus. “Who is this Brian?” Lindsey asked putting the stroller in front of her. “How can you bring a trick here with you when you were the one that asked to see Gus?” “What do you expect? He can’t keep his dick on his pants.” Melanie said. “I’m Brian’s boyfriend.” Justin told them his voice sharp. “I would appreciate if you didn’t talk about Brian like that in front of me or him.” Justin said pointing at Gus. Lindsey and Melanie both started to turn red. “Can I have my son?” Brian asked trying to hide his anger. Lindsey bent down and unfastened Gus from the stroller. As soon as Gus saw his father the kid started to jump up and down. “Daddy!” Gus yelled. Brian smiled and kissed him. “There is someone I want you to meet, Sunny Boy.” Brian told him and turned Gus towards Justin. “This is Justin.” “Hi.” Gus said smiling at Justin. “Hello there, little man.” Justin told him and tickled him. Gus laughed and turned to his father. “Pwetty.” Gus whispered to Brian. Brian laughed. “Yeah, he is.” Brian agreed. Gus looked back at Justin and jumped in his arms. “Gus!” Lindsey yelled scared. “He’s okay. He’s just having fun.” Brian told her. Lindsey and Mel looked in shocked as Brian, Gus and Justin interacted. “Here you go, Sunshine.” Debbie said as she put his plate in front of him. “Thank you, Deb.” Justin said. “So on Sunday, I want everyone at my house for dinner. That includes you two.” Debbie said pointing at Brian and Justin. Justin smiled and nodded. He looked at Brian and then at Gus and his heart beat happily. *** Justin pouted and Brian shook his head. “Brian, please come inside.” “No. Your father is going to have a heart attack or kill me if he sees me.” Brian told him. “You can always stay in the pool house.” Kevin suggested before he went back to pinning Jake to the wall. “There is something very wrong with this picture.” Ben commented. “Feeling lonely?” Jake asked. “Get yourself a better boyfriend.” “Let’s not start again.” Brian said. “Let’s go.” Justin said pulling Brian with him. “We’ll be inside.” Jake told Ben. Ben looked from one couple to the other and frowned. He pulled out his cell phone to call Michael. “Could you slow it down?” Jake asked as Kevin rushed him up the stairs. “No. I want to fuck you.” Kevin hissed. “Goody.” Jake said as they entered their room. Kevin stopped and looked at Jake. “Did you hear that?” Kevin asked. Jake and Kevin stayed quiet and the sound happened again. “Shhh.” Jake said as he opened the door to his room again. Kevin walked behind Jake with his gun in hand. They passed Ben’s room and reached Justin’s. Jake put his ear to the door and pulled back. “There is something in there.” Jake told him pulling back and taking his gun out. “On three.” Kevin whispered. Jake nodded. “One, two, three.” Kevin murmured and Jake kicked the door open. As soon as the door opened, a German shepherd came snarling towards Jake. Kevin didn’t have any other option but to shoot it. The dog whimpered and dropped to the floor. The front door opened and Ben came running up with his gun in hand. “What the fuck happened?” Ben asked and then looked at the dog. Jake got inside the room and saw the mess the dog had done. Justin was going to have a fit. He turned on the light and his eyes darkened as he read the words on the wall. “Guys, in here.” Jake said. Ben and Kevin came in. “Fuck.” Kevin hissed. “What now?” “I’ll go get Brian.” Ben told them and left the room. Ben ran to the pool house and opened the door. Brian was in his jeans pointing a gun at him. “What was that?” Brian asked standing in that position since he heard the shots. “Where is Justin?” Ben asked looking around. “In the bathroom.” Brian told him. “I told him to hide there.” Ben nodded. “What happened?” Brian asked. “Someone managed to put a dog with rabies in Justin’s room. There was a message on the walls. I’m not sure if it was blood but it said…you are next.” Brian bit his lower lip and tightened his fist. He would kill whoever got too close to his blonde.
