Daphne looked at Justin and smiled at her friend. “So what did she say?” Justin asked. “It was a hotel between Fifth Street and Faraday Street.” Brandon said. “That narrows it down.” Justin murmured. “What’s wrong?” Daphne asked him. “I was just wondering if you loved him enough that you would partake in my murder.” Justin told her as he looked at Brandon. Brandon laughed eerily and smirked at Daphne. Daphne rolled her eyes and turned her body to look at Justin. “I wouldn’t. We really are looking for Brian.” Daphne hissed. Justin stared at her for a moment. “I’m sorry, okay.” Justin told her. “I guess saying I told you so wouldn’t help you any.” Daphne muttered bitterly. “Unless you want me to actually jump from the car while it is still moving.” Justin told her. “We are here.” Brandon said dryly parking the car. Justin yawned as he got out of the car. He looked around and wondered for the first time what the fuck he was doing. “Do you want to split up?” Brandon asked. Justin nodded. He didn’t have any desire to spend any more time with Brian’s brother. “I’ll go with Brandon.” Daphne told Justin. “Whatever.” Justin told her. “I’ll start in that hotel and you can take those on that side.” Brandon and Daphne held hands as they cross the street. Justin went into the hotel and asked if there was a Mr. Kinney staying there. Justin kept going in and out of hotels, getting more frustrated each time. When he entered the last hotel on his side of the street, he wanted to take a room and sleep forever. His chest and ribs hurt like crazy. “Can you tell me if there is a Mr. Kinney staying here?” The woman behind the counter checked and nodded. “I’m his cousin and Mom just told me he was staying here. I want to surprise him.” Justin said smiling. “We are not allowed to give out that kind of information, sir.” The woman informed him. “Look, I’m not trying to cause any problems. If I’m lying he won’t let me in or he’ll call security and you can have me thrown out of here.” Justin told her. She smiled at him and nodded. “Okay.” She said. “He’s in room two twenty-one.” Justin nodded and headed for the elevator. He thought of calling Brandon and Daphne but choose not to. He would just take Brian out of the hotel and bring him back to the car and that would be that. If he called them, a scene was on its way and Justin wasn’t up for that. Justin reached the room and knocked once. Soon enough the door opened and Brian was on the other side crying. Justin pushed Brian to the side and walked in. Brian closed the door and walked behind Justin. “How did you find me?” “If you didn’t want to be found, you shouldn’t have used your brother’s credit card.” Justin told him. Brian frowned. “And you shouldn’t tell your friends either.” Justin said. “What do you want?” Brian asked. “I’m here to take you home.” Justin told him. “I’m not going back there ever again.” Brian told him. “Brandon doesn’t want me to see you.” “He’s a smart man.” Justin said as he sat on the bed and threw his jacket to the side. “Don’t you like me at least a little?” Brian asked heart-broken. Brian thought that so far Lindsay’s plan was working. He didn’t know for how long though, seeing how angry Justin looked. He just wanted the blonde to see how much he loved him. He wanted Justin to love him back. He would find anyway possible for Justin to keep seeing him. He would do anything, even running away from home regularly. Justin looked up and swallowed hard trying to say he didn’t, but it was too difficult. He looked into Brian’s hazel eyes and his resolve crumbled to pieces. He pulled Brian by the hand and sat him on his lap. He kissed him hard and pushed Brian onto the bed. Justin and Brian were pushing against each other, hard and fast, until Justin couldn’t hold back any longer. “Fuck, baby.” Justin breathed as he undid the boy’s pants. Brian hurriedly slipped out of his boxers and searched for a condom in Justin’s jacket. He ripped it open and put it on Justin’s erection. “Fuck me.” Justin lubed Brian quickly and pushed inside. He looked at Brian who had his eyes closed and mouth opened. He knew he was in deep trouble; Brandon was going to definitely kill him now. *** Daphne looked at Justin and they both smirked at the argument going on in the front seat. “Why do I have to sit in front?” Brian asked, looking back at Justin with a smile. “You are not going to sit with him.” Brandon explained. “He has a name.” Brian yelled. “His name is Justin and you better learn to use it.” Brandon glared at Justin through the rear view mirror. Justin just smiled at him. “He’s not for you, Brian.” Brandon said. “You were just a fuck for him.” “That’s not true. He loves me.” Brian told him. “He just doesn’t know it yet.” Daphne smirked at Justin who showed her the finger. “He doesn’t.” Brandon protested. “Yes, he does.” Brian hissed. “He just showed me he loved me.” Daphne’s head snapped up to look at Justin who was rubbing his face. Brandon drove off of the road and stopped the car. He got out and opened Justin’s door. “Get the fuck out.” Brandon told him. Justin got out and so did Daphne and Brian. “What are you doing now?” Brian asked. “What the fuck happened back there?” Brandon yelled as he pushed Justin against the car. “Let him go.” Brian screamed as he ran towards them. Daphne pulled out a cigarette and looked at the time. She looked up just in time to see Brandon pushing Brian away. Brian landed on his side, letting out a groan of pain. Justin’s eyes narrowed and he acted without thinking. He pushed Brandon off of him and punched him. “Great, just fucking amazing.” Daphne said under her breath as she walked over to them. “Are we done now?” Brandon spitted blood out and walked towards Justin. Daphne got in the middle and told him to stop. “Watch out, Daphne. He might hit you too.” Justin hissed. “You are just like Dad!” Brian growled. Brandon took a step back like he just had been burned. He looked at his brother as he got up and his heart wept. “Brian…I’m sorry.” Brandon said. “I’m just…I don’t want anything bad happening to you. He’s just going to hurt you.” “I’ll take my chances.” Brian told him. “I’m happy when we’re together. I haven’t smiled in so long and he makes me smile.” Brandon swallowed hard and looked from Justin to Brian and then back at Justin. “I’ll kill you if you hurt him.” “Hold on a minute. What the fuck is going on here?” Justin asked. “I never agreed to have a relationship with him. I am not going to be his boyfriend.” “You see.” Brandon hissed. “He doesn’t want you.” “I know how to take care of myself.” Brian told him coldly. “Now let’s go and I’ll ride in the back.” They got inside the car again. Daphne watched Brandon, a little nervous that he might pull over again and kill Justin, especially when she noticed what was going on in the backseat. She couldn’t believe that Justin would have the audacity to make out with Brian right where Brandon could see them. As innocent as it was, Brandon already wanted to kill him and he should be more careful. Watching in the rearview mirror, Brandon was in awe as Brian manipulated Justin. At first, Justin had refused the boy’s advances but now they were kissing as if the rest of the world had disappeared. He would never understand those two. Brandon decided that he would back off, but if Justin did hurt his brother, he was going to take action. He was going to have to keep a close watch in the two of them no matter what. He wanted what was best for Brian and he really didn’t think that was Justin. He knew he couldn’t force Brian away from the older man. He would just let Brian find out by himself that Justin was not for him. *** Michael put his plate in the sink and walked back to the living room. He sat next to Ethan who was watching Brian and Justin. Daphne was sitting on the floor in between Brandon’s legs while Vic talked to him. Emmett was helping Debbie serve more food and Ted was serving them wine. “Justin do you want any more food?” Debbie asked. “No, I’m full.” Justin told her. “Let’s go.” Ethan said getting up. “Where are you going?” Debbie asked. “Babylon.” Ethan said. Michael and Emmett hurried to grab their coats. Ted was behind them and Justin watched, trying to decide what to do. “Are you coming?” Ethan asked. “Of course.” Justin said, getting up and going for his coat. “Don’t you want to stay here with us?” Brian asked sadly. “I have better things to do.” Justin told him. Daphne got up and quickly sat on Brandon’s lap when she saw his murderous look. “You mean better asshole’s to do.” Ethan mocked as he put his arm around Justin and kissed him on the neck. Brian just stared at them like he didn’t care. “Have fun.” Brian called after them. “Don’t get in the middle of it.” Daphne whispered to Brandon. Brandon took a deep breath and looked at Vic who gave him a little smile. “We should go. It’s late and we have to drop Daphne off.” Brandon said. Brian nodded and went to say goodbye to Debbie and Vic. *** From the dance floor of Babylon, Michael watched Justin down another shot before he walked towards the bar to join the blonde. “What are you doing?” “Getting drunk?” Justin asked sarcastically. “Why are you acting like this?” Michael asked. “Fuck off, Michael.” Justin hissed. “You are starting to sound more and more like Ethan.” Michael told him. “Don’t let him get to you.” Justin scoffed and looked at Ethan dancing with a trick. “Why don’t you just go? He’s never going to love you, so just fucking stop losing your time here.” Michael told him. “I bet there are better places that you have to be.” Justin looked up at Michael with a smile. He got up and dropped some bills on the bar. He walked away giving one last glance towards Michael. Once outside he got into Daphne’s car and drove away. “Fuck, what the fuck am I doing?” Justin cursed under his breath as he slammed the car door shut. Justin walked as quickly as he could and knocked on the door. He took a deep breath and tried not to think of anything. He took a step back when Brandon opened the door. “What the fuck do you want?” Brandon asked. “Let him in you idiot!” Brian yelled from inside the house. Brandon glared at Justin but moved to the side. He shut the door and turned as Brian came running down the stairs and jumped into Justin’s arm. He watched them kiss. Justin whispered something in Brian’s ear. Brian nodded and they went up the stairs. Brandon stood there and wondered how Justin’s brain worked and how come Brian seemed to understand him. He snapped out of his thoughts and walked closer to the stairs. “Stop right there.” Justin looked back at him. “You want to see him then you can, but you are not fucking him in my house. Now back away and sit down in the living room.” “Brandon!” Brian protested. “No way!” Brandon told him. “Come on, move it.” Justin and Brian came back down and sat on the couch. Brian quickly got on top of Justin and started kissing him. “Brian!” “What? I’m not fucking him.” Brian hissed. Brandon rolled his eyes and walked to the kitchen. Now he had to play dad with those two. His nights were really going to change from now on.
