Brian watched as Matthew stabbed the pineapple piece with his fork before taking it to his mouth. Brian arched a brow seeing that his friend was angry. “Are you okay?” Brian asked a little worried for his friend. “Why wouldn’t I be?” Matthew asked a little too roughly. “You are killing the pineapple. You are mad.” Matthew took a deep breath. “It’s my parents. They aren’t letting me go see Jackie. I promised I was going to go see her.” Matthew told him. “That sucks, man.” Brian told him. “Do like I did when Brandon wouldn’t let me see Justin.” Matthew arched a brow. “I would sneak out or say I was going out with another friend or staying with someone else.” Brian told him. Matthew smirked. “I might just do that.” Matthew said. “If you need any money, I can help you out.” Brian told him. “Nah, I’m okay.” Matthew said. “I’ll just try and convince them.” Brian nodded. “So, why are you down?” Matthew asked. Brian arched a brow. “I know you.” Matthew said. “You are trying to hide it really well.” Brian sighed. “Brandon and I were talking and he was asking me if I wanted to celebrate my birthday.” Brian said. “It just brought me down.” “When is your birthday?” Matthew asked. “In two more months. I can’t believe is already here.” Brian said. “Why not?” Matthew asked. “Why is it making you sad?” “That’s when…when I got stabbed.” Brian said. “Oh.” Matthew murmured. “I didn’t know, man. I’m sorry.” Brian nodded. “Damn. You must hate that day.” Matthew said putting his fork down. Brian shrugged. “I don’t hate it. It just…reminds me of what happened. I almost lost my memory. I almost died.” Brian said frowning. “I still don’t know how I would feel celebrating my birthday. Ginny says that I should try and celebrate it, nothing big. Just get used to the idea that it doesn’t have to be a sad day.” “Who is Ginny?” Matthew asked. “My slightly crazy shrink.” Brian said smirking. “Damn, you got problems then.” Matthew said smirking. Brian and Matthew laughed. “Nah, she’s alright. She just does things a little different. She has helped me a lot. I don’t see her as much as I used to.” Brian said. “I think you should wait until you think you can handle it.” Matthew said. “Do you think they will get mad if I don’t?” Brian asked. “Of course not.” Matthew told him. “They have to understand.” Brian nodded and turned back to his untouched food. They kept quiet the rest of lunch, each of them thinking about their problems. *** Justin knocked on the door before he went inside. Brandon looked up and then at Daphne who smirked. She had told her husband that Justin would be part of the family and Brandon was getting used to Justin more everyday. He didn’t lock the doors anymore for starters. “What are you guys up to?” Justin asked sitting on the sofa. “We’re planning on how to get rid of you.” Brandon teased. Justin pretended to be hurt and Daphne laughed. “Justin!” Brian yelled from the second floor. “What?” Justin asked. “You’re here…I’ll be right there.” Brian screamed one more time. Brandon shook his head. “What are you guys doing?” Justin asked looking at the papers that Daphne had. “Sharing.” Brandon said. Daphne smiled. Justin looked from one to the other and knew exactly what they were doing. They were putting their things in their spouses’ name too. “Cool.” Justin said. “Are we going out?” Brian asked. Justin shook his head. “What are you doing here, then?” Brian asked, sitting down next to Daphne. “Hello, he was my best friend before he met you.” Daphne said. Justin smirked. “Right.” Brian said. “What are you doing?” Brandon rolled his eyes. “Just signing some legal papers.” Brandon said. Brian nodded. “So, did you make dinner yet? I’m kind of hungry.” Justin said. Daphne rolled her eyes. “So Brian, you do know you are ending up with a fat hubby.” Daphne teased. “I resent that. He eats more than I do.” Justin said pouting. “But I’m young and I have a high metabolism.” Brian explained. “I’ll remember that.” Justin told him with a deadly look. Brian arched a brow and smirked. He couldn’t wait to see what Justin would do to him for that comment. “Anyway, you are getting kind of heavy there.” Justin said as he looked at Daphne. “So you shouldn’t talk much.” Daphne glared at him. She picked up a cushion and threw it at the blond. “I’m pregnant.” Daphne said. “I’m allowed to get big.” “What?” Brandon and Brian asked at the same time. Justin stared laughing. “Really?” Justin asked. “Jeez, Bran, you don’t waste anytime.” “This is for real.” Brian said smiling. “I’m going to be an uncle.” Justin got up and went and hugged Daphne. She smiled and then looked at Brandon who seemed to be in shock still. “Why…didn’t you tell me?” Brandon asked as he stood in front of Daphne. “I just told you.” Daphne said biting her lower lip. Brandon caressed Daphne’s face. She breathed easier when she saw that he was taking it okay. She wasn’t sure how would he react since they never had talked about it. “They are traumatizing me. You should get me out of here.” Brian told Justin. Justin smirked and Brandon rolled his eyes. He decided to ignore his brother and focus on Daphne. “Come on.” Justin said getting up. “Can I drive?” Brian asked. “Over my dead body.” Justin told him. “Does that mean you are leaving me the jeep when you die?” Brian asked smirking as they left the house with the blond. Brandon kneeled in front of Daphne and smiled. She moved forward and kissed him hard. They had a celebration of their own. *** Brian came into the comic book store with a big smile. Michael raised a brow and smiled back. “Hey.” Brian said putting his book bag under the counter. “Why so happy?” Michael asked. “Justin is taking me to the cabin next week.” Brian told him. “Oh. What about your birthday?” Michael asked. Brian shook his head. “I don’t want one.” Brian told him. “At lest not yet.” Michael nodded and understood. “So, is it the two of you alone?” Michael asked. Brian nodded and smirked. “A whole week.” Brian told him. Michael smiled happy to see Brian practically bouncing off the walls. “So, it’s okay if I take a few days?” Brian asked him. Michael nodded. “No problem at all.” Michael assured him. “Uh, can you take care of Pussy? I really don’t want to leave her with anyone. She can stay at the apartment. You would just have to check on her.” “Okay.” Michael told him. “You are the best, Mikey.” Brian said. “Thank you so much.” Michael told him and laughed. “I’m happy for you guys.” “Yeah. We are so happy even if Justin denies it.” Brian told him. “He still has some issues. But I’m working on it. I have all the time in the world. One day I’ll have him screaming off the roof tops how much he loooves me.” Michael laughed knowing that Justin was in deep trouble. Brian could be pretty stubborn. Pussy was proof of that. *** Brandon came inside the house and walked to his study. He sat down and looked around not sure what he was going to tell Daphne and Brian. Daphne came to the study about an hour later to find Brandon sitting at his desk, unmoving and staring at a spot on the wall. “Bran.” Daphne whispered. “What’s wrong?” Brandon took a deep breath and pulled Daphne into his lap. “I got a promotion. They made me partner.” Brandon told her. “And this is not good, why?” Daphne asked. “They want me to move to New York. They are starting a new company there.” Brandon said. “Shit.” Daphne said. “Tell me about it.” Brandon said. “I don’t know what to do.” Daphne bit her lower lip. She didn’t know what to tell him. She knew he had been working hard to get that promotion, but moving to New York hadn’t been part of the plan. “Brandon, I would move with you. I don’t have any problem with that. It’s Brian that I’m worried about.” Daphne told him. “Why do you think I’m not jumping up and down?” Brandon asked taking a deep breath. “I just know he is not going to take this well.” “Maybe he could stay with Debbie or even Justin.” Debbie told him. The look she received from her husband told her that wasn’t a possibility. She knew she had to tell Justin pretty soon. She didn’t know how she was going to start THAT conversation. *** Justin was sitting in his office when there was a little knock and Edward came in. Justin raised a brow. “You have a Mrs. Kinney waiting to see you.” Edward told him. “Let her in.” Justin said. Justin got up and hugged Daphne when she came in. “What are you doing here?” Justin asked. Daphne shrugged as she sat down. “Just wanted to see you.” Daphne told him. “Oh yeah.” Justin said sitting down. Justin was smiling, but then stopped and looked at Daphne. He had known her long enough to know that she wanted to say something, something that he wasn’t going to like. “Daph?” Justin whispered. Daphne closed her eyes and opened them quickly to stare at her friend. She opened her mouth a couple of times, but nothing was coming out. “What’s the big deal, Daph? Just fucking say what you are going to tell me.” Justin said getting impatient. “Brandon got a promotion, but the bad thing is that he has to go to New York because the firm is expanding and he is not going to leave Brian behind.” Daphne said really quickly. Justin was impressed at how quick she had talked and then the words really sank in. He looked at her and then away. He stared out of the window not sure what he was supposed to say or do. “Have you talked to him about it?” Justin asked. “I tried to convince him, Jus.” Daphne said. “I told him that Brian could stay with Debbie or you or even at Lindsay’s house. I even suggested me staying with Brian until he finished his last year at school.” Justin took a deep breath. “Fuck, Daphne.” Justin cursed. “I’m really sorry.” Daphne said. “That doesn’t solve anything, does it?” Justin spat out. “Don’t be fucking rude to me, Justin!” Daphne hissed back. They stayed silent for a while, just looking at each other before Daphne rolled eyes and got up. She walked up to him and sat on his lap. “You can always visit us.” Daphne said. “And it’s just a year. I’m sure once Brian turns eighteen, he won’t let anyone tell him what to do.” Justin shrugged. “You are getting heavy.” Justin told her. Daphne smirked and nodded. She knew that Justin was hiding the way he was feeling. She wasn’t going to push it. She kissed him on the cheek and got up. She told him that she would call him later and then said goodbye. Justin stayed in his office, canceling anything he had planned for the day. He couldn’t work for shit and only thought of Brian. And what he was going to do once the brunet wasn’t there. *** “There is something we have to tell you.” Brandon said. Brian frowned and looked from his brother to Daphne. He knew he wasn’t going to like it. “Oh my god. Where is Justin?” Brian asked. “Is he okay?” “This is not about him.” Daphne said. Brian sighed. “Okay. What is it then?” Brian asked. “I got a promotion, Brian.” Brandon said. “That’s great. Why are you looking so gloomy about it?” Brian asked biting his lower lip. “I am a partner now. A junior partner.” Brandon said. “They want me to go to New York and handle the new opening of a firm there.” Brian frowned. For a moment Brian’s mind went blank. And then everything clicked at once. “I’m not going!” Brian yelled. Brandon turned around and took a deep breath. He gave Daphne a look, asking her for help. “Brian…” Daphne said, but couldn’t finish. “No!” Brian screamed. “You can’t make me. I’m not going. I’m not leaving my school or my friends. And most importantly, I’m not leaving Justin!” Brian ran to the door and opened it. “I hate you!” Brian hissed as he looked at his brother before he left. “Well, that went well.” Brandon said. Daphne took a deep breath. “I have to call Justin.” Daphne said standing up. Brandon watched her go and then sat down. He ran his fingers through his hair and wondered if he was making another mistake when it concerned Brian. *** Justin knocked on the door and waited. Daphne smiled at him when she opened the door and let him in. She could tell that Justin was not happy and he looked very tense. “Did he go to you?” Daphne asked. Justin nodded. “He doesn’t want to come here. I just came to take some of his clothes so we can go to the cabin.” Justin told her. Daphne nodded. “Go ahead.” Daphne said. Justin started walking and stopped when she put her hand on his arm. “I’m so sorry, Justin.” Daphne said with teary eyes. “I wish there was something I could do.” Justin opened his mouth to say something, but closed it quickly. He gave her a sad smile and left to go to Brian’s room. He went straight into the closet, taking some shirts. He was so fucking pissed that they were taking Brian away from him. Justin looked at Brandon when the man entered Brian’s room. “Daphne told me you were here.” Brandon said. Justin nodded. “Did you guys talk?” Brandon asked. Justin nodded again and pulled a suitcase out of the closet and put it on the bed. “Aren’t you going to say something?” Brandon asked the blond. “What the fuck do you want me to say? Congratulations?” Justin asked angered. “I don’t really feel like it would be nice to be so hypocritical.” Brandon just stared at the blond. “I mean, is not like I feel happy about it.” Justin told him. Brandon closed his eyes. “I’ve been working for this my whole life.” Brandon told him. Justin took a deep breath and sat down. He frowned and knew deep down that it didn’t matter how angry he was, he couldn’t blame Brandon. “Why can’t you leave him with me?” Justin asked. “Or Debbie. Or…shit.” Brandon looked at the floor and frowned. “He’s my responsibility, Justin.” Brandon said. “I just can’t pick up and leave him behind like that. He is only sixteen years old.” Brandon said. “He’ll be seventeen soon.” Justin pointed out. Brandon arched a brow and Justin sighed. “Not much difference, I know.” Justin said. “I just…god damn it. Why the fuck did this have to happen?” “What’s that?” Brandon asked. “Me, falling for him.” Justin said. “You moving away and taking him with you. Him not being old enough to stay and do whatever the fuck he wants. Pick one.” Brandon smirked. “I never thought I would see this day.” Brandon told him. “I was wrong about you.” “Thank you.” Justin said frowning. “It’s not like is helping me any.” “You can come and visit. New York is not that far and I promise you won’t have to stay at a hotel when you come.” Brandon said. Justin smirked. “I’m really sorry.” Brandon said getting up. “Take care of him. Tell him I love him.” Justin nodded and watched as the older man left. He looked at the floor and for the first time his eyes watered and the tears ran freely. *** Justin kissed the back of Brian’s neck as he caressed his boy’s ass. He bit on the magnificent skin and started to make his way down on Brian’s body. Brian gripped the sheets and closed his eyes as he felt Justin’s tongue circling his hole. “Jus.” Brian moaned and pushed back against the blond once his boyfriend’s tongue was inside of him. Justin licked, nipped and kissed Brian’s asshole. It was like he couldn’t get enough of it. He eventually pulled away and started sucking on Brian’s ass cheeks. He moved down and bit Brian’s thighs. “Fuck me. Please.” Brian moaned. Justin turned Brian around and smiled. He kissed the brunet’s neck and then moved up to lick Brian’s jaw. He could feel Brian trembling under him. “You are so beautiful.” Justin told him in a rough voice. “Please.” Brian begged. “I need you inside of me.” “Hold on, baby.” Justin said as he caressed Brian’s face. Justin kissed Brian hard letting his tongue explore Brian’s cave. He loved the taste of the brunet. Justin stopped kissing him and started to leave a saliva trail down Brian’s neck until he reached one of the brunet’s nipples and sucked on it hard. “God.” Brian moaned, going wild. Brian tried to touch himself, but Justin stopped him. “Mine.” Justin growled. “Okay. But please do something. Fuck me, suck me or jerk me off. I don’t care.” Justin smiled and just moved to the other nipple. He finally reached Brian’s navel and tongued the cavity a few times making Brian moan and trash in the bed. “For fuck sakes.” Brian hissed. “Do something.” Justin giggled and let his tongue run wild from Brian’s navel to his pubic hairs. He filled himself with Brian’s scent. He pulled back and watched the brunet as he kneeled on the bed over his boyfriend. He smiled and collected Brian’s pre cum and then sucked it off his finger. “Justin.” Brian moaned. Justin knew he was driving the brunet wild. He moved a little so that he could lick the inside of Brian’s thighs and just when Brian thought that the blond would get to his erection, once again he was deceived. “Justin!” Brian screamed. “I need you.” Justin smiled and started biting Brian’s legs. Brian was giggling. He was ticklish in the weirdest of places. Justin smiled and grabbed one of Brian’s legs, kissing Brian’s feet. “My cock is the one that needs attention.” Brian protested and then started laughing again when Justin started sucking his toes. Justin sucked on Brian’s toes for a while before he moved to the other foot. “Goddamn it, Justin!” Brian hissed. “Fuck me already.” Justin smiled and got on top of the brunet. He rubbed their hard cocks together. Brian wrapped his legs around the blond. “I know what you are doing.” Brian said his eyes filling with tears. Justin brushed the tears that fell down away with his thumb before he moved to grab a condom and the lube. Brian knew that Justin was trying to learn every part on his body. He knew that there was no need for that since Justin had done that before. He just hated the fact that the blond was doing it now because soon Brian was going to be gone. “Don’t think about it.” Justin whispered as he let one lubed finger slip inside Brian. “Oh.” Brian moaned. “Think of this.” Justin murmured. Brian was thrusting back to meet Justin’s fingers. He closed his eyes and let himself be lost in the sensation. He pouted when the fingers left him. He was about to protest until he heard the breaking of the condom packet. He smiled widely when he felt the head of Justin’s cock pushing to get inside of him. “Yes.” Justin moaned once he was fully surrounded by Brian. Brian started crying. “Shhh.” Justin told him. “I need you.” Brian told him. “I know baby.” Justin said as he started to move slowly. “You’ll always have me.” Brian grabbed onto Justin. He didn’t want to ever let go. Justin started sucking on Brian’s neck. He wanted to mark the boy. He wanted everyone to know that the brunet belonged to him. They rocked slowly against each other wanting to enjoy the moment. “I’m so close.” Brian moaned as he thrust up to meet Justin’s shoves. “Come for me, baby.” Justin told him and he started jerking off the brunet. “Justin!” Brian screamed and splashed his cum all over them. Justin threw his head back, arching into Brian, as he came hard. He gripped the brunet under him tightly as he experienced his orgasm. “Brian.” Justin whispered as he came down from his high. “Baby.” Brian smiled and kissed his man. Justin pulled out of him and got rid of the condom. Brian smiled and got closer to Justin. “That was beautiful, Justin.” Brian said. Justin nodded and pulled closer to Brian if that was even possible. “I don’t want to go back.” Brian told him sobbing again. “Please, don’t make me go back. I want to stay with you forever.” Justin smiled and held Brian closer. He wished they could stay in the cabin forever hiding from the world. “It will be okay.” Justin assured him. “How do you know that?” Brian asked. “I can’t live without you.” “Maybe this is good for us.” Justin said. Brian pulled away from Justin. “How can you say that?” Brian asked. “I won’t stop loving you. And it’s not like we are breaking up.” Justin said. Brian took a deep breath and sat up. “I just don’t want to leave.” Brian said. Justin sat up in the bed too and put his arms around his baby. “I don’t want you to leave.” Justin assured him. “But it’s the way it has to be. It will be okay. We are meant to be. No matter what, we will be together again. And no one is taking you away from me.” Brian smile widely. “Make love to me again.” Brian told him. Justin smiled and pulled Brian closer. Doing exactly what his brunet wanted at that time. *** Ted pulled back and smiled at Brian. Then came Emmett who hugged the brunet tightly. “I’m going to miss you, baby.” Emmett told him. “I will call you.” Brian told him. Emmett nodded and moved away. “Come here, kiddo.” Debbie yelled. Brian smiled and went to her. He gave her a big hug and then one to Vic. He looked at Lindsay and Joy who were behind crying. He walked over to them and kissed each of them on the cheek before hugging them. “We are going to miss you.” Melanie told him. Brian hugged her and lifted her up. “Thank you for being there for me.” Brian whispered. Melanie smiled and pushed the tears back. Matthew kissed Brian on the lips quickly and then hugged him. “You are going to be okay, man. You and Justin are going to be okay.” Matthew assured him. Justin pulled Matthew away from Brian. “We are going to discuss the extraction of one of your balls later.” Justin teased with a smirk in place. “Now move away.” Matthew smiled as Justin started pushing him back. Michael shook his head and put his hand on Brian’s shoulder. “Hey, Michael.” Brian said. “I’m going to miss you.” Michael nodded and hugged the brunet. Ben hugged the teenager too and told him that it would be okay. Justin extracted Brian from the taller man and pulled him towards him. “When I turn eighteen, he cannot say anything about my life. I can do whatever I want.” Brian said to the blond. “I can join the army and vote and get married.” “Let’s hope you don’t plan on doing that all the same day.” Justin teased. Brian smiled, but his smile turned into a frown. “You’ll take care of Pussy, right?” Brian asked. Justin sighed and then nodded. “Are you sure you don’t want to take her?” Justin asked. “No. I want her to keep you company.” Brian said. Justin smiled and caressed the brunet’s face. “I love you.” Brian said with his eyes close as he felt Justin’s hands caressing him. Justin kissed him hard. Daphne came out of the house holding her favorite plant. She looked at the boys and her heart broke. “I will call you.” Justin told him sniffing. Brian smiled and nodded. They hugged for the longest time until Brandon called Brian. Justin took a deep breath and let go of the brunet. “I love you too.” Justin told him. “Um, goodbye.” Brian said. “Nah. I’m seeing you again. Goodbye doesn’t work here. Later, baby.” Brian smiled widely and nodded. “Later.” Brian said. Justin kissed him one more time before he let go of the brunet. “Bye.” Daphne said hugging Justin. Justin smiled and kissed her. He rubbed her belly and she smiled. “You take care of them. All of them.” Justin told her. “Of course.” Daphne assured him. “Okay.” Justin said letting go of her. Brandon said goodbye to everyone. He got in the car and started it. The three of them looked at each other with sad smiles. Brian frowned and undid his seatbelt turning back. He waved as the car started to leave. “Fuck.” Justin hissed. “It will be okay.” Michael told him. Justin didn’t say anything as he saw the sad look on his boyfriend’s face. “We are going back to Debbie’s house.” Emmett said. “Are you guys coming?” “In a minute.” Justin whispered. Justin took a deep breath as he saw the car getting smaller and smaller. Michael put his arm around Justin’s shoulder and Ben held Michael’s other hand. Emmett got in Ted’s car with Debbie and Vic. Matthew, Lindsay and Melanie were taking a ride with Joy. They left the place, leaving the three men standing there. “It’s going to be okay.” Michael said. “I love him.” Justin said pouting. “I know.” Michael said. “No. I mean I love him. I really, really do.” Justin said letting a tear escape him. “No matter what happens, I will always love him.” Ben looked at Justin and smiled. “I’m never going to love anyone like I do him.” Justin said smiling as he remembered Brian’s words, echoing in his head. “That is so sappy.” Michael said. “I know.” Justin said laughing. “What do you say we take a detour to Woody’s?” Ben asked. “Yeah.” Justin said taking a deep breath. They turned around to get in the jeep. Michael smiled at Justin and Justin smiled back. “So, what does this mean for you guys?” Michael asked. “We are going to call each other until we are sick of listening to one another.” Justin said. “Which means never.” Michael said as he looked back at Ben. Ben laughed. “I’m going to go visit him whenever possible.” Justin told him. “Which means he will be gone on weekends.” Michael said, looking once again at his boyfriend. This time Justin and Ben laughed. “I’m not letting go of him. This is just something else life is throwing at us.” “And you will beat it.” Ben assured him. Justin knew that he would see Brian again no matter what. Life would go on, but no one was going to stop him from loving his brunet. He would just have to adjust. He would even go as far as the moon to spend a minute with his boyfriend. He loved him and he knew that Brian loved him back just as much. They were going to get through the separation.
I hope all of you enjoyed this. This is the end, but not really. I’m working on the continuation. Don’t worry. I want to thank CuJo for keeping an eye on me. Sometimes I write the strangest things ever and she is always there to point it out to me. Then we have a good laugh about it, ah, she’s the best.
