Justin sat down in class trying to focus on Mr. Tarpon’s lecture but he couldn’t. All he could think about was Brian. They had been going out for two and a half months and things were improving. The only thing was that Justin hadn’t invited Brian to meet the rest of the gang because he was scared. He was just scared that Brian didn’t want that. That Brian wasn’t as serious about his relationship as he had thought.

“Hey man,” the guy that had been sitting next to Justin said.

Justin looked up and raised both of his brows.  “What?” he asked.

“Class is over,” the guy said.

“Oh, thank you,” Justin told him and quickly collected his things.

Once Justin was out and walking in school, his mind started wondering back to Brian. What scared him the most was that anything could happen to Brian and there was nothing he could do to help him. Justin closed his eyes and tried not to think about anything. He just wanted to have his chance with Brian at being happy. Justin’s cell started ringing and he checked the display. He smiled when he saw it was Brian.

“May I help you sir?” Justin asked and heard Brian laughing.

“Yeah. I’m looking for someone,” Brian informed him.

“Who would that be?” Justin asked.

“It’s a guy,” Brian said. “He has this amazing blond hair, not too short not too long, just perfect so I can run my fingers through it. Then he has this amazing pale skin so soft to my touch.”

Justin smiled happily just to listen to Brian.

“He has this long thick cock with just the right flavor, a bubble ass for me to devour. This amazing mouth that I love to kiss and can do some pretty awesome things.” 

Justin closed his eyes and smiled. He was going to have to find a bathroom and jerk off thanks to Brian.

“Oh, but most important he has this wonderful blue eyes, so beautiful that I look into them and get lost. My whole being is lost when I look inside his eyes,” Brian told seductively. “Oh never mind. I found him.”

“Hello? Hello? Brian?” Justin asked into the phone.

“What?” Brian asked.

Justin jumped around his face full of shock when he saw Brian.  “Brian!” he shouted and hugged the taller man tight while grinning like a fool.

“I missed you,” Brian told him pulling him back so he could kiss him.

Brian kissed him slowly making sure he tasted Justin’s mouth thoroughly. He smiled and then licked Justin’s lips before he pulled away.

“When did you get back?” Justin asked.

“About an hour ago,” Brian informed him.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Justin asked him as they kept on walking.

“I could wait,” Brian told him shrugging.

“Did everything go okay?” Justin asked.

Brian looked at him and nodded.

“Good,” Justin told him.

This was what Justin didn’t like about his relationship with Brian. Brian’s world was something that he hated. But it didn’t matter because he didn’t hate it more that he cared for Brian. Justin smiled and looked at Brian as they walked to the Jeep. He kept looking at the man, frowning about what he was feeling. He was pretty sure that he was in love with Brian.

“Justin, what’s wrong?” Brian asked.

“It’s just. I want you to come meet my family and friends,” Justin said biting his lower lip.

Brian smiled.  “Are you sure?” he asked seeing Justin's face.

“Yes. Unless you don’t want to go and I would understand,” Justin assured him as he got inside the Jeep.

“Would you really?” Brian asked starting the car.

Justin nodded.

“Well, I want to go,” Brian told him.

Justin smiled and Brian saw it from the corner of his eye.  “They think you’re an appraiser,” he whispered not sure how Brian was going to react.

“How?” Brian asked a little amused.

“Well, I kind of told them you were in business and they assumed it was that by the description I was giving. I never corrected them. So that’s what you are,” Justin explained.

Brian nodded.

“I’m sorry,” Brian told him.

“What? What for Brian?” Justin asked puzzled.

“For being what I am,” Brian told him.

“You don’t have to be sorry, Brian. I love you just how you are, every single thing about you,” Justin said to him strongly.

Justin’s eyes opened wide and then closed shut when he realized what he had said.  Brian was happy to hear what had come out of Justin’s mouth.

“You love me?” Brian asked smiling.

“Well…I…what…I…” Justin stuttered.

“I love you too,” Brian told him.

“You do?” Justin asked smiling.

Brian nodded.  “How can I not?  You’re exceptional, baby and you’re all mine.”

Justin smiled and kissed Brian quickly. Brian smiled at him and kept on driving them home.

***

Brian looked at Justin and smiled. He looked around and breathed easier. Apparently they like him and he had nothing to worry about. He had been so scared that Justin’s family was not going to accept him. He couldn’t believe all the questions they had asked him already.

“Brian, how old are you?” Ben asked.

“Don’t be rude,” Debbie said to Ben.

“That’s okay, Deb,” Brian told her. “I’m twenty eight.”

“Isn’t he a little old for you, Justin?” Ben asked smiling.

Justin raised a brow and laughed when he saw Michael looking at Ben with an odd face.

“It’s just six years,” Justin told Ben. “Not twelve years, I mean…oh no wait…oops,” he grinned and Ben glared at him.

“Fuck you,” Michael sing sang.

Everyone laughed.

“Seven,” Emmett said. “You’re not twenty two yet.”

Justin shrugged.

“So where did you go to college?” Ted asked.

“Penn State,” Brian told him.

“What was your major?” Melanie asked.

Brian swallowed and even though he was lying he had to say something.

“Business,” Brian told them.

“Where were you born?” Emmett asked.

“Here,” Brian said.

“Do you have any family here?” Vic asked.

“My parents died in a car accident,” Brian told them.

“I’m sorry to hear that,” Debbie said.

Justin grabbed Brian’s hand and squeezed it. He had heard all of this before and much more.

“Do you have any kids?” Michael asked.

“No,” Brian said looking at Justin who chuckled.

“Do you play the violin?” Michael asked.

“What?” Brian asked.

“No he doesn’t,” Justin said laughed. “It’s a long story. I’ll tell you later.”

Brian nodded.

“Do you want another beer, Brian?” Debbie asked.

“No that’s okay. One is fine. I don’t like to drink,” Brian told her.

“Oh, okay,” Debbie said smiling.

“God, Justin, is he fucking perfect?” Ted asked.

Justin looked up at Brian and Brian at Justin and they both started laughing.

“No, but the two of them are fucking weird,” Ben said.

“Some respect would be nice,” Debbie told him.

Ben shrugged.

“Shouldn’t you be in bed?” Justin asked.

“Ah, like the brother you never had,” Michael teased.

Justin rolled his eyes.  “Don’t mind me if I start puking now,” he told him.

Ben scoffed and got up to go to the bathroom. After a while Michael followed him.

“So what are your intentions with Sunshine?” Debbie asked as she sat for a second or two.

“Woman, leave the man alone already,” Vic told her

Brian looked at Justin with a little smile. He pushed back a strand of hair that had fell on Justin’s face.  “I plan on making Justin very happy,” Brian told them.

Justin smiled at Brian. Brian leaned forward and started kissing Justin.

“Oh god. Not them too,” Melanie protested.

A couple of them laughed. After a while Michael and Ben came down and Debbie announced that the food was ready but no one moved to go to the table. They were still talking.

“So tonight you can come with us to Babylon, Brian. It will be fun,” Ted said.

“We’re going to celebrate that Emmett is getting old,” Ted quipped.  “You will be next Michael, everyone gets older and older.”

“At least I’m not a dickless walking corpse like you Theodore,” Michael spit out.

“Soon you will be thirty old years of age,” Ted said smiling. “Welcome to the club.”

Brian laughed. Michael looked at him and glared.

“What? You’re probably as tedious as Ted,” Michael said.

“But at least I have a big dick, right baby?” Brian asked Justin who nodded turning a little red.

“Stop ganging up on poor Teddy,” Emmett yelled even thought he was happy they weren’t ganging up on him.  Thought he didn’t have to worry about that for a few more years.

Michael and Brian smirked at each other.

“My god. I want to go deaf,” Melanie said.

“I’m having fun,” Brian whispered in Justin’s ear.

Justin smiled and kissed him. Michael watched Justin smiling at Brian and felt a little overprotective. He looked at Ben that was looking at him with a knowing smile. Ben wouldn’t be jealous because he understood him.

“So what are we waiting for?” Justin asked as he saw the look that Michael was giving him. “I’m hungry.”

“Go suck your boyfriend. You’ll get protein,” Michael teased.

“Michael!” Lindsey yelled. “My god.”

“He already did on the way here,” Brian told him. “I think he’s going to need something more solid.”

Brian laughed with Justin. Michael smirked at the face that Melanie did.

“Great we have a house full of smart mouths,” Debbie yelled with a smile. “We’re waiting for a couple of guests.” 

“Who? Everyone is here,” Justin said.

“Not everyone,” Vic told him.

Just then the door opened and Jennifer walked in with Molly.

“Mom?” Justin asked surprised.  He got up and walked over to his mother.

“How have you been baby?” Jennifer asked as she hugged her son.

“I’m okay,” Justin told her and looked at Brian. “There is someone I want you to meet.”

“Oh yeah?” Jennifer asked.

Justin waved at Brian to walk to where he was.

“Hi,” Brian said.

Everyone was trying to pretend like they were not interested.

“Mom this is Brian. Brian this is my mom,” Justin said looking at his mother.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you,” Jennifer said shaking Brian’s hand.

“Likewise,” Brian told her.

“Brian’s Sunshine’s boyfriend,” Debbie shouted from the kitchen.

Brian held his breath.

“He’s cute!” Molly yelled.

Jennifer looked from Brian to Justin. She looked at her son closely and then looked back at Brian.

“Yeah, he’s a handsome man,” Jennifer agreed.

Everyone was surprised that Jennifer hadn’t said anything else. She would always say something about Justin’s boyfriend that would make Justin mad with anger. They weren’t good enough for her son and oddly enough none of the relationships had lasted just like she had predicted. Each time the guy would hurt Justin and somehow she always knew. They looked back at Brian who was smiling a little. They all thought that Brian was the perfect guy and Jennifer had just confirmed it.
