Brian smiled and threw his arms around Justin’s neck. Justin let his body drop on the brunet. They had been making out for quite some time on Brian’s bed. Justin caressed Brian’s neck while his tongue explored the inside of Brian’s mouth. “Fucking hell.” Justin whispered. “You are so good.” Brian smiled and closed his eyes when he felt Justin’s mouth sucking his neck. Brian wrapped his legs around Justin and moaned as he felt Justin’s hard cock pushing against his own. “Justin.” Brian murmured. “What is it, baby?” Justin asked as he pushed his upper body up. Brian didn’t say anything. He took one of Justin’s arms and then guided the blond’s hand to his erection. Justin started caressing Brian’s dick and watching Brian’s face. Brian licked his lips and his eyes closed once again. Justin got on his knees and opened Brian’s jeans. Brian’s hand flew to Justin’s and stopped the blond. “Do you want me to stop?” Justin asked looking at Brian. Brian shook his head. Justin pulled down Brian’s pants and briefs just a little bit and the brunet’s cock sprang free. Justin bent down and kissed Brian’s hip and was going to continue moving down when Brian’s voice stopped him. “I need to see your face.” Brian told him. Justin nodded and moved up. He grabbed Brian’s cock and started stroking his boyfriend. Brian watched Justin for some time before he moved his shaking hands to Justin’s zipper. “You don’t have to, baby.” Justin assured him and kissed him on the cheek. “I want to.” Brian panted. Justin nodded and letting go of Brian, he pulled his pants down. He grabbed Brian’s cock again and Brian did the same to him. Every movement that Justin did, Brian repeated. “Baby.” Justin moaned as he licked Brian’s jaw line before kissing it. Brian was fighting to keep his eyes open. He let go of Justin when the blond let go of him. Justin dropped his lower body and started rubbing their cocks together. Brian moaned and tightened his thighs around Justin’s hips. He was thrusting up against Justin, feeling like he was going to explode at any minute. “I want to taste your cum.” Justin said in a hoarse voice over Brian’s ear. Brian closed his eyes then and came. He felt Justin shaking on top of him and he knew that Justin had too. When they managed to control their breathing Justin pulled away a little and ran his hand through the mess they created. Justin lifted his fingers to his mouth and licked them. “Jus.” Brian gasped out. Justin smiled and ran his hands again around Brian’s belly only that this time he put his fingers on Brian’s lips. “Come on, taste us.” Brian opened his mouth and suck on Justin’s fingers. Justin smiled and kissed Brian hard letting their tongues duel. “That was great.” Justin told the brunet. Brian nodded and reached for the tissue he kept close to his bed. They got cleaned up in silence. “Are you okay?” Justin asked throwing the used tissue away. Brian nodded and smiled widely as Justin pulled his pants up and sat down next to Brian. Brian kept smiling from ear to ear as he zipped his jeans and looked at Justin. Justin smiled back at him and got on top of Brian once again. They kissed and smiled at each other and then started a new make out session. *** Brian got out and smiled at Matthew. “Did you like the movie?” Matthew asked. Brian nodded. “Do you want to go eat something?” Matthew asked. “My treat.” “I can’t. I have to go.” Brian said. “I told Brandon to pick me at seven. I’m sorry.” Matthew nodded as they walked to the exit of the mall. “Maybe some other time.” Brian assured him. “Oh, there he is.” Matthew watched a guy who was leaning against his car and looking at them. Then a blond guy walked up next to him and pushed him a little. Brian smiled widely when he saw Justin. “I have to go. I’ll call you.” Brian said and then looking to both sides, he cross the street. “Hey, had fun?” Brandon asked. Brian nodded and hugged Justin before they kissed. “What are you doing here?” Brian asked smiling. “I was with Daphne when Brandon said he had to pick you up. So I came to see you.” Justin said smiling. Brandon rolled his eyes. “You two are so sickening.” Brandon joked. “You are just jealous that I have such a gorgeous boyfriend.” Brian said sticking his tongue out at the back of Brandon’s head. Justin laughed and Brandon turned around with a questioning look. The three of them got in the car. Brian was already putting his arms around Justin in the back seat when Brandon told him to stop. “Hey, I’m hungry.” Brian said. “I can feed you.” Justin told him. “Drop us off at my house.” Brandon rolled his eyes again and nodded. At the other side of the street, Matthew had watched the whole exchange and he smiled. The rumors about Brian in school were right and Brian was gay. He was going to make sure that the brunet was his. *** Brian was putting his plate away and walking back to the couch when he stopped and stared at the wall. He walked closer to the wall and stared at the two marks that were there in black marker. “Does this mean that I can fuck you on a regular basis?” Brian asked smirking. “What does you being taller has anything to do with being a top?” Justin asked as he made a mark on the wall recording Brian’s growth. “Don’t you think that if I get as tall as Brandon it would be a little too uncomfortable for you to fuck me?” Brian asked. “No. I will still fuck you and you and I both know that you can’t live without my cock up your ass.” “Like now?” Brian asked as he dropped his pants down and arched a brow. Justin laughed and moved forward to kiss the brunet. “Brian, what’s wrong?” Justin asked. “I used to be shorter.” Brian said. “What?” Justin asked as he turned Brian around to look at him. “I used to be shorter when I met you.” Brian told him not really sure if he was imagining things. Justin smiled widely. “Yeah. You were as tall as me.” Justin told him. Brian smiled. “I remember that. Those marks…you did them.” Brian said pointing at the wall. Justin nodded happily. “I remember.” Brian said smiling. “I remember something!” Justin nodded and hugged him. “We have to celebrate. I remember something.” Brian said. “Fine. Where do you want to go?” Justin asked. Brian thought about it for a minute and then smiled. “Babylon.” Brian said. Justin rolled his eyes. “I just want to dance with you and I never have…I don’t remember having been there.” Brian said. “Okay, okay.” Justin told him. Brian smiled widely and kissed Justin. *** “So what exactly did he remember?” Michael asked as he and Justin got drink for everyone at Woodie's. “It was something little, but amazingly enough, it was fucking fantastic.” Justin said. “I used to mark his height on the wall. He remembered that.” Michael smiled and patted Justin on the back. They went back to the table when they had the drinks everyone had asked for. “Where is my beer?” Brian asked pouting. “You get water.” Justin said and put the bottle in front of Brian. “Not fair.” Brian said. They started talking about what they had been doing over the past couple of days. Emmett let Brian have a sip of his beer and Justin glared at him. “Let him live a little.” Emmett said smirking. “He shouldn’t be here.” Michael said. “Relax. He’s with us.” Justin said. “At least I’m here.” Ben said. “He won’t have so much of a bad influence with all of you.” Emmett swatted Ben on the arm and laughed. “And Ted.” Brian said. Everyone looked at him. “I’m sorry. I don’t know why I said that. It just came out of nowhere.” Brian said turning red. “I’m so sorry.” “Oh baby.” Emmett said putting an arm around Brian’s shoulder. Brian smiled at the man. He didn’t feel threatened with Emmett’s arm on him. He felt safe. “He’s coming around.” Ted said smiling. “I’m going to miss the polite Brian.” “I wasn’t polite?” Brian asked opened his eyes wide. “I was mean before?” “To me you were. And I miss it.” Ted said smiling. “It was all in good fun.” Emmett assured Brian. They laughed about it and Brian felt more at ease. “I need a drink.” Justin said getting up. Michael was going to get up with him, but Justin shook his head. Brian watched him go and felt a little scared. He looked around and smiled. He was going to have to learn to be around everyone else. They were his friends too after all, plus Michael was there and he trusted him. “Give me another one.” Justin said once he had finished his first shot of whisky. The bartender did and Justin drank all of his drink. He flinched once again when the he felt it burning his throat. Ben sat next to him and smiled. “Hey.” Ben said. “Hi.” Justin told him. “You’ve had a rough time.” Ben said. Justin nodded, but didn’t say anything. He blinked a few times trying to make the wetness in his eyes disappear. “Look, Jus, if you ever need someone to talk to you can come to me. I know I’m not a professional, but I’m your friend too.” Ben told him. Justin looked at Ben and smiled. He asked for another drink and cleared his throat. “I feel…I feel like it’s my fault.” “Why?” Ben asked. “I taunted Clark. Every time the boy came close I would almost fuck Brian in front of him. I would take Brian in my arms and kiss him and touch like there was no tomorrow. I…I would smile at Clark like he was nothing. I would let him know that Brian was mine not matter what had happened.” Justin hissed as a tear made it down his face. “I would have done the same thing if someone else was out there trying to get Michael.” Ben said. Justin looked at Ben and smiled. “No, you wouldn’t.” Justin said. “Yes. I would have.” Ben said. “We love them and we are going to get jealous. And we are going to use all the ammunition we have on our side.” Justin frowned. “What Clark did was no one’s fault. Not even his. He was sick. To do that to a person…there is no other explanation. No matter how mad you can be at someone. And he did it to Brian, not you.” Ben said. “He did it to us.” Justin said. Ben put his hand on Justin’s shoulder. “But you are going to survive it. And you guys are much stronger for it.” Ben said. “But what if…” “There are no ifs in here, Justin. You guys have each other.” Ben said. “Enjoy it and be thankful.” “Guys, they are ready to leave.” Brian said behind them. Justin rubbed his face quickly. “What’s wrong?” Brian asked once he was in between the two men and saw Justin’s face. “Allergies, baby.” Justin told him. Brian looked at Ben with a questioning look. Ben smiled at Brian’s protectiveness of Justin. He was sure that they were right for each other. “Ready for Babylon?” Justin asked getting up. Brian nodded and followed Justin. The others were walking behind them and everyone was talking and laughing. Brian in the other hand couldn’t stop thinking about what was wrong with Justin. He could tell that Justin was stressed out and he was sure that Justin had been crying. He was going to make sure he find out what was going on. *** Matthew followed Brian inside his room. Brian closed the door and put his book bag on top of his desk. He looked at Matthew and smiled. “Do you want something to drink?” Brian asked. Matthew shook his head. “Okay then.” Brian said opening his bag. “I’ll take half of the questions and you get the others.” Matthew just nodded. “I’ll take the first twenty.” Brian said. “There is a chair over there or you could sit on the bed.” “I’ll sit on the bed.” Matthew told him. Brian nodded and sat down on his chair. They worked in silence for a while before they took a break. Brian went into the kitchen and prepared them something to eat and got something to drink too. After they were done, they went back to the room to work on their homework. “I’m almost done.” Matthew said. “Cool.” Brian answered with his eyes focused on his text book. Matthew looked at Brian and then rolled his before he closed his book and put them on his book bag. He got up and stared at Brian, but the brunet was lost on his work. “Brian.” Matthew said. When Brian looked up, Matthew smiled at him. “Is there something wrong?” Brian asked. “Something you can’t find?” Matthew shook his head. “I’m a little bored. That’s all. I thought we could do something else.” Matthew told him and then licked his lips. “What do you want to do?” Brian asked. Matthew rolled his eyes and walked closer to Brian. “You know.” Matthew said. “No. I don’t.” Brian told him smirking. “I’m not psychic.” Matthew leaned down and kissed Brian on the lips. Brian stayed still not sure what was going on, but then he found himself closing his eyes and kissing Matthew back. When he felt Matthew’s hand on his neck he opened his eyes wide and pushed the taller man away. “Don’t.” Brian told him. “I’m sorry. I should go.” Matthew told him. Brian watched Matthew leave and wondered what the hell had just happened. He had kissed another guy and liked it, well, not as much as he liked kissing Justin, but he had liked it. He didn’t know why he had kissed Matthew back, but he felt bad and a nagging feeling that there was something he should remember, but couldn’t.
