Warnings: Angst, Drama, Message: I am a huge Brian and Justin Fan so please bear with me in the story line with Jason and Brian. Justin will find out soon, no worries. Brian's POV Brian sat behind his desk at Kinnetic wonders what his ex lover was doing here and the worst part is the fact that the family is going to start asking questions soon. They actually saw him blush at a comment and saying hi and using his old pet name. I know they are all going to wonder what’s going on with Justin and him the fact that they have had little contact with one another in the past two years I mean yeah they talk but never more than once a month and only by email. Before Brian has a chance to give it anymore thought a bing is heard through the office as it signals that he has a new email. He opens his inbox and checks who it’s from; of course it’s from Justin why would he think this day would get any easier. Jartist@yahoo.com Bkinnetic@Kinnetic.org Hey B, Just checking in, I’m good and u? Later, J That’s how it was now; short, sweet and nothing to reveille what the other might be thinking. It was easier to hide behind their masks and shallow words of none expression. I would usually look behind the words and so would he but for once there is no need, these words mean nothing. Brian is interrupted from his thoughts by Cynthia "Yeah, Cyn." "There is a Jason Denton to see you." "Um…fine send him in and hold all calls." "No problem boss." Brian leans back watching as Jason walks into the office and for some reason he feels nervous but he won’t let that show. This man walked away from him and he started a whole new life. "Please sit." Jason sits in the chair across from Brian with a small smirk of his own. "Nice place." "Thanks, I like it." "You look good Brian." "Cut the shit Jason! What the fuck are you doing here?" "I told you I wanted to see you." "Right! Let’s see I haven’t seen or heard from your pathetic ass in 18 years so why now?" They are interrupted with a knock on the door. "Brian I’m sorry to interrupt but Michael is line one and he says it’s important." "Take a message Cynthia and I will get back him to later." "Ok." "You shouldn't ignore poor Mikey like that." "What I do or not with Michael is none of your fucking business so why are you here?" "I wanted to see you." "Really." Brian takes a dramatic walk over to the mini bar to make Jason wait and instill you has the power in this conversation. "Surprising when I haven’t seen or heard from you in eighteen years so let’s try again," Brian looks at Jason right in the eyes. "Why are you here?" Earlier at the diner after Brian had left "Who was that?" Emmett's gossip juices were running full force. "I’m not sure maybe an old friend?" Debbie answered. Michael looks at the food on his plate. "What do you know?" "Just that this could be trouble." "Should we call Justin?" "Not yet, but we should all keep an ear and eye out." They get up after agreeing to keep a collectively secret eye on Brian and walk to there individual destinations. Debbie seems a little worried about the new person she can’t remember ever seeing Brian react like that to someone; she pushes all thoughts away thinking he must be just an old friend. New York Justin sits on the couch in his two bedroom apartment that he shares with Daphne. When Daphne transferred last year he was so excited to actually have someone he loves close by. After being in New York for a year and living with a roommate that was less than thrilled to have him there because he was gay. He told her that he wanted to move into somewhere else like Chelsea but he slowly learned that was impossible even when Brian offered to help him out the rare time they talked, so instead he told him not worry. That’s when Daphne told him that she would be going Med school at NYU and her parents were letting her rent an apartment in Chelsea and before she even finished the question he was screaming “yes” so, now they were living together; her going to med school and him getting ready for a solo show during Christmas. "Justin are you home?" "Yeah, I’m on the couch." Daphne walks over to where he is laying on the over stuffed couch. "Comfortable?" "Extremely." Daphne comes over and lies on the other side of the couch. "How was your day Picasso?" "Ok, yours Doctor Chambers?" "Rough, did you umm…?" "Yeah I did." "Did he answer? Did you say more than I’m ok?" Justin sits up and looks at her. "Why should I put myself out there when I have barley heard from him in the last two years we are lucky to talk every three months?" "Bullshit, you two barley talk three times a year, you have been here two years and you guys act like you are just passing acquaintances instead of what you really are." "And what pray tell are we?" Justin raises his eyebrow. "Two stubborn assholes who love each other." "Whatever, like I said I am not going to put myself out there so he can just hurt me in the long run. Yes, I love him and I always will but I don’t know if he even wants me anymore." That never stopped you before and are you going to tell him about the show?" "I uh… (Lets out a long sigh) I don’t know anymore." Back at Kinnetic "Look, I have shit to do come by my place tonight at nine." "Are you sure?" "Yeah, I guess." Brian writes down his address and hands it to Jason but Jason takes his chance and kisses Brian gently on the side of the mouth. "Tonight." "Yeah." Jason leaves Kinnetic and Brian falls on the couch wondering what the fuck he is going to do, when Cynthia comes in." "Brian, who was that?" "Jason Denton." "I know his name Bri, but who is he to you?" Brian looks her in the eye. "Trouble."
