Brian smiled as he placed the order for the red roses along with the card to go to Justin’s apartment. He was going to win the blonde one way or another. So he was going to try to be romantic first. He knew that Justin always liked that. “Brian?” “I’m here,” “What are you doing?” “I am looking at some files, Mikey. It’s called working.” Brian said. “Mom sent me to get you. She wants to have a family dinner.” Michael said. “Fine,” “Really, you are not going to bitch and moan?” Michael asked. “Nope,” Brian said turning off his new computer. “Let’s go.” When Michael and Brian arrived at the house everyone else was there. Michelle was sleeping in her little crib. Vic and Ted were talking while Emmett and Justin were watching some show. The girls were in the kitchen cooking. “We are here, ma.” Michael said. “They can fucking see us, Mikey.” Brian said and sat next to Justin. “Hey sunshine,” Justin looked at him but didn’t say anything. He was trying to ignore Brian but it was proving difficult, since each time Brian moved he only got closer. “Leave me the fuck alone.” Justin said getting up. Vic looked at Brian and laughed. “Dinner is ready,” Debbie shouted. They all sat on the table. Brian made sure that he was next to Justin. Justin made sure to ignore him. “So, Brian, Justin tells me that you have been spending tons of money on him. I think that’s cute. You have your first crush.” Lindsey said. “Linds,” Justin grunted. Brian smiled. “I can’t help it.” Brian said. “Fucking hell,” Melanie said. “Is he for real?” Michael nodded. “Wow,” Debbie said. “Too bad sunshine is not into cock. You guys would have made a cute couple. Now leave him the fuck alone and find someone else to fuck.” They laughed at Debbie’s word. After that things ran smoothly. Brian was letting Justin have a moments peace but he was far from done. “Who wants dessert?” Debbie asked when she got up. It didn’t really matter who said yes. She always gave all of them a piece. “How is PIFA?” Brian asked. “How did you know I go there?” Justin asked scared. Brian shrugged. “I told him.” “Why did you do that for, Michael?” “He asked me.” Michael said. “That reminds me,” Lindsey said. “Did you bring the sketches you wanted to show me?” Justin nodded and went up to get them. Brian was about to get up to go after him too but was stopped. “Don’t even think about it mister. Sit your butt down.” Debbie said. Justin came back in the house and passed the sketchbook to Lindsey. Melanie and Emmett got closer to Lindsey so they could see too. “These are great Justin.” Melanie said. “Thanks,” “He is a great artist.” Brian said. “Could you stop the bullshit for a second?” Debbie said. “It’s just fucking sickening.” Justin giggled at the way Brian seemed to be shrinking in the chair by Debbie’s glare. “Check the last one. It's one of my favorites.” Justin said to Lindsey. Lindsey nodded and found it. “This is a beautiful piece, Justin.” Lindsey said looking at the drawing of two kids playing in the park. “He is beautiful,” Brian said. Brian smiled and pulled a little box and gave it to Justin. Justin looked at him and rolled his eyes. Everyone else had stopped what they were doing and watched in between horror and amazement at what Brian had said and done. Justin got up and put the present back in Brian’s hand. “I have to go.” “Here,” “No.” Justin said sternly. “Fine, I’ll mail it to you.” Brian said and then smile. Justin glared at him. “Fuck off,” Brian just shrugged. “Brian, honey, what has gotten into you?” Debbie asked. “Cupid,” Vic said laughing with Emmett. “I’m going to put a restraining order against you.” Justin said. Brian shrugged again. “Oh,” Justin said grabbing the box. “Please, please no more presents.” “Fine,” “Really,” “No.” Brian said. Justin turned around and left making sure to slam the door in his way out. “Brian, what’s with you?” Lindsey asked. “He is a fucking asshole.” Melanie said. “Well, I have to go too.” “It’s never too late to stalk someone.” Ted said. “Hey, that’s a good idea.” Brian said and smirked. “One way or another he is going to be my boyfriend.” When he left everyone was too shell shock to say anything. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Justin took a deep breath and knock on the big grey door. He knew he was shaking but he couldn’t tell if it was because he was scared, nervous or just pissed off. When the door opened he took a deep breath and smiled. He went right in and looked around. “Nice place you have here.” “Thanks,” Brian said smiling. “You finally came around.” Justin looked at Brian and shook his head slowly. He took out something from his pocket and then handed it to Brian. Brian arched a brow and crossed him arms. “Brian, I don’t want your fucking graduation ring. I’m not your boyfriend.” “You could be,” Brian said smiling. “Your friends were right when they said you went off the deep end.” Justin said smirking. Brian frowned and shrugged. “I don’t care what they have to say.” “Apparently you don’t care what anyone has to say. I have told you a million times to stop fucking sending me stuff but you just don’t listen.” “I can be pretty stubborn.” Brian said smiling. “Please, Brian, just stop.” “Justin, don’t you fucking see it. Come on now, when I kissed you the other day you got hard.” Brian said walking closer to Justin. “I did not,” “Yes you did. Don’t fucking lie.” Brian said still walking. Justin started to walk backwards. “Why did you come here?” Brian asked. “To tell you to stop,” Justin said. “You could have done that over the phone.” Brian said smiling when Justin reached the wall. “Come on, one kiss and you’ll see that I’m right.” Brian didn’t wait for an answer he just kissed Justin. Brian closed his eyes and enjoyed Justin’s body being so close to him. Suddenly he was pushed back and slapped hard in the face. “How dare you?” Justin asked outraged. Brian grabbed Justin by the waist and pulled him towards him crashing their lips together once again. Justin pushed away and slapped him again. “Look me in the eyes and tell me you didn’t enjoy that.” “You are fucking nuts.” Justin yelled trying to get away. Brian smiled and kissed him again. When Justin was about to slap him again Brian held his hands. He pushed Justin against the wall and kissed him hard. Brian knew that he had gotten through him when Justin started to moan. Brian smiled and licked Justin’s neck which made Justin arched against Brian. “Please stop,” Justin said. “Do you want me to?” Brain asked. “I can't do this.” Justin said. Brian let go of him and stepped back. “Here,” Brian said giving Justin a card. “Call me.” Justin frowned but took the card anyways. “I have to go.” Justin said. Brian nodded and walked with him to the door. He gave Justin a small peck on the lips and smiled when Justin didn’t seem hostile towards him. Justin opened his mouth to say something but then turned around and left. Brian closed the door and put his forehead against the cold steel door. Things were going to be okay, he was going to be okay. They had to be or he would just die. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Justin took a deep breath and got in the jeep. He couldn’t believe he had the nerve to call Brian. He smiled at Brian and put his seatbelt on. “So where do you want to go to talk?” Brian asked. “I’m kind of hungry.” Justin said. Brian smiled and nodded. “I know just the perfect place.” Brian said and pulled away from the curve. Justin took another slice and started eating. He had eaten six already and wondered why Brian had only one. He didn't care he was having fun. Justin frowned at the thought of having fun with Brian. "Do you want me to order you another slice?" "Mmm, no that's okay." "Well, if you are hungry you should eat." Brian said. “Wow, first you want to turn me gay and now you want me fat. You are something else I tell you.” Brian smirked and kept on looking at Justin like if he was from outer space. "So, umm why do you keep doing this? You waste your money on me and you know you won’t be getting any. You are gorgeous and you can have anyone you want." "I am choosing whoever I want. I want you." “But you can’t have me, Brian.” Justin said. “God, you are so fucking strange.” “So sunshine,” Brian said smirking. “I’m gorgeous.” Justin started to turn red. “I…well…I’m an artist. I have a good eye for things like that. It doesn’t mean anything.” “It means you think I am gorgeous.” Justin closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “You are so fucking frustrating.” Justin said. “I’m leaving,” “Fine, I’ll just have to make it up by sending you some flowers.” Justin looked up and then sat back down. “You know, Daphne is starting to think I have another girl.” Brian frowned at the mention of Daphne. He was having mix feelings about her too. "Are you ready to go?" Justin nodded. “I want you to draw me.” Brian said suddenly. “Fine,” “Naked,” “In your dreams,” Justin said getting on the jeep but laughed regardless. Brian smirked and got in. They talked about family in the way to Justin’s apartment. Brian was relieved to hear that Justin had a happy childhood. Justin tried to ask Brian about his but Brian didn’t want to talk about it. “So we are here.” Brian said killing the engine. “Bye,” Justin said. Brian got out and followed Justin. He wanted to take the blonde and put him back on the jeep and take him to the loft and fuck him the whole night. Instead he just walked with him to the door. "I had tons of fun tonight, Brian." Justin said smiling. "Good," Brian said grabbing Justin by the waist loosely. "What do you say we go out tomorrow night?" “Let me go, Brian.” Justin said. “Not until my goodnight kiss.” Brian said. Justin’s eyes almost fell out of his head. He pushed Brian away and then straightened up. "Justin, you do want to go out with me again, right?" “No,” “Liar,” Brian said smiling. “You hesitated.” “I did not.” “Yeah, you did.” “Brian,” Justin whined. “Look you are a good friend. That’s all I see in you. I’m sorry.” “Fine, then when are we going out just to hang?” Brian asked. “Like friends do,” “I don’t think that’s such a good idea.” Justin told him. Brian took a step back and looked at Justin in wonder. Brian smiled and then got closer. “A good night kiss and I won’t call you in a whole week.” Justin looked up stunned at Brian's words. He didn't have time to say anything. He felt Brian's lips on him and he grabbed hold on Brian's arms and didn't let go until the kiss ended. "Later, baby." Justin stood there in shock. He moved back and then he looked at Brian that was grinning. “Fuck you,” Justin said. “Maybe later,” Brian said as he turned to go. “Stop doing that shit.” Justin said. Brian laughed. “I hate you.” Justin. “Did I ever tell you? You can’t lie for shit.” Brian said as he walked away from Justin. "I'll call you tomorrow." "You said you weren't going to." "I'm a good liar." Brian said. Justin let out a strangle scream that came deep from his throat and slammed the door shut. Brian’s smile got bigger. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian put the empty glass down and asked for another. Emmett and Ted were next to him watching in amusement. Brian kept talking about how Justin didn’t want him. “What’s going on?” “I think Brian reached that point were he has fucked every gay men there is and has moved on to the straight population but it’s proving to be quite difficult.” Ted said. "That and he is drunk." “Brian, what happen now?” “Fuck off,” Michael sat down next to him and smiled. Brian smiled back but the got serious and showed him his middle finger. “What happened, Brian?” Michael asked. “Just fucking tell me.” “He didn’t call me. I called him and he said he was fucking straight.” Brian said. “Shit, if I hear that one more time I might just kill my self. That or I will get rid of my dick and get breast implants.” “Brian, I think you are way past drunk.” Michael said. "Did you take anything?" “I think he is funny.” Emmett said. “Fucking nuts, it’s what he is.” Ted said taking a sip of his beer. “At least Justin had the sense of turning away from him.” “I don’t know what the fuck happened. We were hitting it off so nice. We were becoming friends.” “Brian, this is not you.” Michael told him. "He is gay, Mikey. I just know it. You guys know it." Brian said. "Maybe he is just not ready to come out." Ted said. "Don't think about it, Brian. Just go have some fun. There are a couple of guys checking you out." Michael said while he looked around. “Leave me the fuck alone, Mikey. Can’t I fucking brood in peace?” Brian asked. “Since when do you know a word like that?” Ted asked. “Ted, just drop dead. I don’t have the energy to be rude to you right now.” Brian said drinking another shot of tequila. “That freaking brat, he needs a fucking spanking.” Emmett laughed. “It doesn’t matter,” Michael said. “Fuck him,” “Is that why you told him that Brian was no good for him? Oops,” Emmett said. "Me and my big mouth." “What?” Brian asked. “What the fuck, Michael?” Michael glared at Emmett before he looked back at Brian. “Brian, I’m just trying to help you. You have been acting really strange lately and you don’t need anymore problems.” “Fuck you, Mikey. You know I can recite the alphabet and get dressed all by my fucking self. I don’t need your fucking help for anything. Do not come between me and Justin ever again.” Brian said standing up. “Brian,” “No.” Brian yelled. “Stay the fuck away from me, Mikey. I’m fucking pissed at you.” “Wow, you don’t see this everyday.” Ted said. "I think he might really like Justin." Emmett took a deep breath and shook his head. He put his beer down and followed Brian out of the bar. When he reached Brian he was about to get on his jeep. “Brian,” “What?” Brian asked mad. “Yeah,” “Yeah what,” “He is gay.” Emmett took a deep breath and nodded towards the empty seat. “Get in,” Emmett got in and smiled. “Tell me,” “Daphne is his girlfriend because he is scared shitless of Mathew, his father. Daphne is his best friend and she knows about him. Brian, he is just scared of losing his family. His older brother Kevin is gay but Mathew and Victoria won’t speak to him because of that, they say Justin is their only son. Justin is just not ready to take that big jump and get away from his family for a guy.” Emmett said. “Are you fucking serious?” Brian asked with his mouth hanging open. Emmett nodded. “But Justin told me he was happy with his family.” Brian said. “He said his family loved him. If that was true they would love him no matter what.” “Brian, you are a complete stranger to Justin. What the hell do you want him to do? To just broke down and tell you everything?” Brian frowned and nodded. Emmett was right. “No one knows Brian. I told you…I don’t know why the fuck I told you. I just know that, well, I feel like you really like him.” “It’s more than that.” Brian said smiling. “I want to be his partner.” Brian smiled knowing that it was the truth. He knew how much Justin meant to him and he just wanted to make Justin happy. This time Brian wasn't going to let his baby get away. “Yeah, I’m still young but having a heart attack is not in my list of things to do.” Emmett said and took a deep breath. “Fuck Brian, what the fuck happened to you after that accident?” “That’s what I would like to know.” Brian said. There was a long silence before Brian spoke again. “Help me,” “What?” “Help me win his heart. He is scared shitless of me and now Michael…fuck! God knows what Michael told him and I know that’s not going to help.” Emmett smiled and nodded. “Fine but if you break his heart I am going to break your balls.” “I won't, Emmett.” Emmett smiled and opened the door to the car. “You know, I like you much better like this.” Brian smiled. He liked himself this way better too.
