This chapter is only ten pages long but the next is going to be the last in the series so it will be much longer. I hope you all enjoy this one. I have to say this chapter is anti Michael so if you are not ok with that kind of fiction than please don't read this. Again thank you all for your support and understanding. Enjoy!
One month later ````````````````````` Brian’s POV: This last month has been the best time of my entire life. Justin and I have been spending every moment we can together, and the day after tomorrow we are leaving to go on vacation. God it’s going to be so great having him all to myself for two whole weeks. The first couple of days we are spending in Toronto, Canada; where I plan on asking a very special question. Then it’s off to Italy. Neither of us can contain the excitement we have for this trip. Don’t get me wrong we both love our little family but they are driving us straight up the wall. Yes me and Justin have been together every second that we can but one member or another it seems is always there with us. Oh and if I am not with Justin...someone else always is. I know why they are doing it. They are just scared that he might take off again. Which I would agree with but I know he isn’t going anywhere anymore because we have worked out the majority of our problems and what we haven’t figured out yet we are still working on. So even though I understand their fears, I also know they unfounded. Which I have told them time and again and I know that Justin has as well, but they always play it off with ‘it’s not that’. But we both know it is. We also know that they just want to spend time with him as well. But they never wanted this much attention in the past so it’s a little hard yo believe their lies. Anyways I know that it is driving me up the wall, I know that it is making Justin insane not to have any kind of alone time. Which I feel bad about but no matter what I do I can’t get them to take a break. So anyways Justin has had all his stuff from Chicago shipped out here. So he is completely home now, with all his belongings. The first week he was back he decided that he was going to need a studio especially with all the shows that are now set up for him for the next two years. That’s right folks my boy has shows booked for the next two years and in some of the biggest galleries. So we had Jenn looking for us, and as we went around looking at the different spots I realized something. I don’t want to be away from him at any length of time and him having a studio outside the loft would do precisely that...have me away from him for lengths of time. I know when Justin is painting he just tends to lose track of time and the next thing he knows its hours later sometimes even the next day. So I have decided that the only way around that is to get a bigger place for us to live. We discussed it and decided that we would have Jenn look for bigger lofts, two to three stories, and if we can’t find anything satisfactory, then we will look into houses. Yes I said houses. But Justin and I still prefer to have a bigger loft to the house. We both like the open space and no boundaries, that come with it. Jenn said that by the time we get back from our trip she should have a good list of places to choose from, and I have no doubt that she will come through. As I pull up to the loft and jump out to go up stairs I think about how great it is to know that he’s up there waiting for me. I feel my stomach do little flippies if you can believe that, which happens every time I get to this point in my day. I unlock the door and slide it open and step thru the door way and smell something fabulous. He’s so good to me. I look into the kitchen but I don’t see him there. “Jus?” I say as I move up to the bedroom and see the most gorgeous site in the world. “You’re late.” he states, slowly stroking his cock up, then down and rolling his fingers lightly over his balls, before moving back up. I feel myself harden instantly and start to pulse with that tingly ache. I grab my cock and squeeze it for a second. “I know but just think you have me all to yourself, for the next month.” I say as I make quick work of taking off these damn clothes. “Mmm.” he moans and closes his eyes for a second before reopening them, “I love the sound of that.” he says with a smile. I finally have my clothes off and I start to climb between his legs, as I move up his body he runs his hands thru my hair and down my cheeks. I lick his balls and smell his sweet scent, while I take one ball into my mouth before the other. When I am done with his balls I move up slightly to the top of his gorgeous cock, and slowly lick up one side and then down the other before taking him fully into my mouth. I feel him tug my hair and hear his breathing increase, and hitch as he hits the back of my throat. I move slowly up and down sliding my tongue over every inch of his cock, when he starts to move his hips I hold him down and start to increase my pace when I know he is right at the breaking point I move off and blow over the head of his cock, I watch him tense up and as he starts to cum I start to lick over his piss hole taking what I can, he practically sits up at the sensation, “Bri...” he gasps out at the end, as he falls back to the bed. I move up his body placing soft kisses all the way till I can sink my tongue into his mouth, I lay completely on top of him moving my arms around his back and holding him tightly to me. He loves to feel my weight on top of him, squishing him to the bed. As I start to rock my hips, rubbing my cock against his already hardening dick he wraps his legs around my waist, squeezing me with his thighs, and rocking with me. God I feel like I’m on fire and I just have to have him. “Baby, I need you.” I say in a whisper, against his lips, not stopping my movement as I move to kiss his neck and shoulder, as he rubs his face against the side of mine. “You have me... you’ve always had me.” he whispers back, and I know he’s telling the truth. Ever since that first night, he gave himself to me fully and completely forever. I know that and I know that no matter what the past held he has me, and I have given him, myself fully and completely forever. I lick from his shoulder to his lips and we kiss, slowly with so much passion I can feel it in my toes. I feel under the pillow for the condom and lube that I know is there, then pull back reluctantly. I rip open the condom and slip it on, I open the lube and put some on my fingers and move back to kiss him as I carefully open him up. When I know he’s ready I pull back once more to move my cock against his hole, as I move past the first ring he grabs at my arms tightly with the pinch of pain before I hear a low moan of pleasure and continue my in. When I’m all the way inside of him I have to stop to regain my control before I cum. Jesus what he does to me. He slowly lets go of my arms and I move my arms under his and hold onto his shoulders, I lay my forehead against his and he wraps his arms around my neck, holding me tightly to him. I open my eyes and see that his are closed and he has a slight smile playing across his lips. “Baby?” I whisper, and he opens his eyes and I see his smile grow, “I love you.” “I love you too.” he says as he squeezes his arms around my neck to bring my lips back to his. I start to move slowly, we rock together and continue to kiss until he pulls away and we practically gasp for air. Our moans playing against the walls of the loft are like music playing in the back round. “Deeper...faster, Bri.” he gasps and the sound makes my body start to shake. With my hands holding his shoulders I use that to push him onto my cock as I slam into him, picking up my pace I feel myself falling over the edge just as he says, “I’m cumming,...oh god Brian.” “Oh yes!” I grunt as I fill him tighten around me holding me inside of him as I cum. We lay there together all wet and sticky until I feel myself calm down a little bit to move shakily to the side, and pull off my condom and drop it into the trash can at the side of the bed. I grab the towel I see laying by the trash can and wipe myself up then wipe him up as well. Throwing the towel to the side when I’m done. I lye back down and he instantly moves to my side and into my arms. We wrap ourselves around each other, and I have this sudden feeling of perfect timing. ****************************************************************************** Justin’s POV: I climb into Brian’s arms and we wrap ourselves around each other after a soul shattering round of love making and I say that cause there is no other way to describe it. God it was amazing. We have been so completely happy together since I got back. We are looking into a new place because he said he didn’t want to be away from me, if he could prevent it; and since he could he was going to, by us buying a new place. It’s so exciting, we are starting a whole new life together. I don’t think I have ever been happier in my life. Not to mention we are going away together to Italy for two whole weeks. I can’t wait. Just me and him, together with no work or family interruptions. Don’t get me wrong I love my mom and sister and extended family as well, but ever since I got back I have been on like a twenty four hour watch. It seems I can’t take a piss without one of them standing over my shoulder watching. It’s kinda ridiculous actually, but I know they are just worried that I’ll take off again; even though I swore up and down that I would never do anything like that again no matter what the circumstances. Oh well maybe when Brian and I get back and we buy our new place and settle down maybe they will back off and everything will go back to normal. Ok so maybe normal is to much to wish for, since this family is no where near normal at anytime; just the settled down part would be nice. Everything has been so crazy lately with me coming back and then getting all my stuff moved back here, then the setting up of all the shows with my new manager Tom Walker. Which I still think is amazing, but still a little scary. However having Brian here with me and us making the decisions together so we can be together for it all; well lets just say it’s all pretty amazing. I also got a new psychiatrist, who Frank says is almost as good as he is. Which is kinda great because now me and Frank can become real friends. I like that idea, he is such a great man and he and I are always talking now. Oh and Danny proposed to Lynn two weeks ago. They are getting married in three months. She called me practically screaming it over the phone about twenty minutes after he proposed. I ended up screaming with her. I mean come on they’re perfect together. She said that I have to be there. I told her I wouldn’t miss it for the world. Then she said good otherwise she would have to make a stop in Pittsburgh on her way to her honeymoon and chop off my nuts. Why is it that women always go for the nuts? I don’t know. When I got off the phone with Lynn and Danny I went straight over to Brian at his computer and asked him if he would go with me. God I was so nervous. I know he is changing and everything but I thought for sure he would tell me hell no, about going to a wedding of all things. But he didn’t he had a smile and said that it was great and that he couldn’t wait to meet them. Frank is going to be there as well so Brian will get to meet them all at once. I can’t wait to see them all again I miss them so much. We talk all the time but still it’s not the same as being able to see them everyday. I miss that. But what can I say that’s how life goes. We will always be friends and we’ll just have to try harder to see each other more often. Let’s see what else? Well I signed over my rights and shares to the comic to Michael about a week ago and I am so thankful. All I really wanted was out of that situation with him. I didn’t take any money from it. Which surprised everyone. Especially Brian. He was kinda of upset about that because he felt I should have taken what was mine. But I just told him truthfully that I didn’t want it nor did I need it. Finally he just let it go. We haven’t heard from or seen Michael for about three weeks, which has been a god send if you ask me. When I signed everything for the comic it was at Melanie’s office and then everything was just delivered to Michael. Pretty great hunh? I didn’t even have to see him for that. All this not seeing him has been great for me. But I know that it is probably getting rough on Brian not having his best friend around. I’m going to have to talk with Michael and see if we can’t come to some kind of understanding for Brian’s sake. I’ll call him tomorrow and try and set something up. “Jus?” I hear Brian whisper. I have my head on his chest, and I start to trail circles over his stomach with my finger nails when I say. “Humm?” “Marry me?” I think I hear him whisper... but that can’t be right. I stop my circles and sit up using my elbow so I can look over him. “I’m sorry, what?” I say a little perplexed. Boy my mind is playing sick games with me. “Marry me?” he whispers again. I shake my head trying to let this sink in. What the fuck is going on? Then something hits me. He must think I’m going to run away again or something. But I thought that if nobody else knew that I wasn’t going anywhere at least he knew and understood. I sit up all the way and cross my legs and look at him. “Brian, you don’t have to do this. I thought you understood that I wasn’t going anywhere?” “Justin, baby I know you’re not going anywhere. That has nothing to do with why I’m asking you to marry me.” I feel my brow furrow. “I don’t understand then.” I say. He takes my hand and sits up and cups my chin making me look directly into his eyes. I see so much love in there. Everything that I ever wanted to know from him is staring right at me. “I wanna spend the rest of my life with you Justin Taylor...” “And we are going to spend the rest of our lives together. We don’t have to get married.” I try telling him. I know how he feels about marriage. “I know we don’t have to get married. But I want to. I want to marry you.” he tells me. I look down at our hands trying to figure this out. But he doesn’t give me but two seconds before I feel him take my chin and make me look back into his eyes. “Look into my eyes Baby? What do you see there?” he asks me and I look.... I mean really look and what I see makes my jaw drop open, and breath catch. “You really want to marry me.” it’s not a question, anymore. “Oh my god” I gasp out. “I can’t believe this is happening.” “Well believe it baby.” oh did I say that out loud. I put my hand over my chest when my heart feels like it’s going to pop right out of my chest. I take a deep breath and blow it out, I can’t believe he just proposed. I can’t believe it. I shake my head again. “Well Jus? Will you marry me?” he asks again and I look into his eyes and see him losing his certainty. I can’t believe I haven’t answered yet. “Yes!” I say with a huge smile. “Yes?” “Yes!” I say nodding my head. Right then he grabs me and takes me into his arms. We squeeze each other holding on tight. “You said yes.” I pull back a bit, sunshine smile probably permenitaly on my face. “Did you really have any doubt?” “Well I was beginning to wonder at the end there.” he says with a true smile. I laugh. “You just caught me a little off guard there, and I thought I was going to have a heart attack.” we both laugh about that. “We’re getting married!” I say as I realize it again and I launch myself at him planting kiss’s all over his face while telling him...” I love you, I love you, I love you!” finally I kiss his mouth and he grabs my head holding me there and plunges his tongue into my mouth. I’m sitting in his lap with my arms and legs wrapped around him, when he pulls away, and starts kissing down my neck I hear him mumble “How long can dinner hold?” oh damn I completely forgot. “Fuck dinner.” I say. He looks up at me. “I’d rather fuck you.” he says with a smirk. I chuckle a tiny bit, but when I feel his hands against my ass pushing me against him, and then feel his hips move and our hard cock’s rub together it turns into a moan. When he pulls back my eyes shoot open and I see him wave the condom and my smile returns as I watch him slide it on his dick. He grabs my hips and I sit up and pull my legs back so I’m on my knees before I feel his cock at my opening I put my hands on his shoulders and slowly lower myself onto him. “I love you.” I hear him say and I look at him and smile. “I know. I love you too.” I say and then we lose ourselves in our love making. ****************************************************************************** Brian’s POV: We’re lying here trying to catch our breath since we came together and suddenly he sits up and looks in my direction. “I have to pull dinner out of the oven.” he says and then smiles and leans over to kiss me. I raise my hand to put on his neck so I can deepen the kiss, but before I can reach he pulls away and jumps out of bed and dashes into the kitchen. God he is hot running around naked. When I hear him start to rustle around in the kitchen I get up and open up my top drawer, and pull out a little pale blue box. I got our rings at Tiffany’s. I think he’ll love them. Their two platinum bands on each ring, and when you slip it on the inner part stays still then you can actually spin the outer ring around the other band. The part you can turn has a Celtic lovers knot then as it goes around it turns into the words Your’s Completely Forever; with a B for his and a J for mine. I thought they fit us perfectly. Complex yet simple and beautiful. Yeah I think he’ll love them. I hear him padding across the floor coming back to the room, and I turn with the box open looking to the walk way waiting for him. “Well we definitely fucked up dinner. It is totally burnt. Not that I really care though. But I am kinda ...” he trails off as he enters the room and looks at me standing with the box. He points to it. “Is that...?” he trails off again I can see he has started to shake a little so I walk over and stand just a breath away from him, with the box right in front of him. “Our wedding rings.” I say taking his from the box. “Do you like them?” I ask. “Oh god Brian,” he says and then looks up to me and cups my cheek with his hand.” they are beautiful.” I smile and take his hand from my cheek and slide his ring on his finger. “Don’t cry Baby.” I say as I wipe the tears from his face, he looks at me smiling that sunshine smile before he looks at his ring, “I can’t help it I’m just so happy right now. I never thought we would be married. I dreamt for it yea. But never actually thought it would happen.” he says as I hold out the box for him to take my ring. I toss the box onto the bed and hold out my hand for him to slip my ring on. His hands are shaking and as he slips my ring on my finger. I pull up my hand and look at the ring and it catches little flickers of the light from the kitchen and sparkles. I look into Justin’s eyes and smile as he does for me and I take him into my arms. “We’re married.” I hear him whisper and I pull back. “We’re not married.” and I can see his face fall so I quickly add. “We are going up to Toronto Canada, the day after tomorrow and getting married legally.” he looks dumb founded. Then he just jumps into my arms, again saying over and over that he loves me. “I love you too.” The rest of the night was spent making love with only a quick break to order some Chinese food and eat before we spent the rest of the night in each others arms. I hadn’t planned on proposing until we were in Canada but it just seemed like perfect timing with him lying in my arms that I just couldn’t pass it up; and now I’m so glad I didn’t. It really was perfect. We didn’t get up till late afternoon the next day and I had to run a million errands before we could leave the next day. So while I went and picked up the dry cleaning and pass ports and dropped off some papers for Melanie to have ready for us to sign when we got back from our trip so that we could be completely legal and what not here in the U.S. I left Justin to pack us up so we could go out to Babylon tonight. His request not mine. He wanted to spend the night out with our friends, our last night here. Which I reluctantly agreed to. What can I say I wanted it to be just me and him but I guess since we wont have to see them for two weeks I can manage one night with them. Plus I’ll get to have Justin by my side and I also get to dance with him something we haven’t done since before he left. I don’t think either of us were ready to face Babylon again, until now that is. And I’m still a little reluctant about the memories that it’s going to bring. But you know what I realize in all this? That with him by my side I can literally do anything, and conquer any fears I have. As I do believe I have proven. God I can’t wait for tomorrow. We’re gonna get married. ****************************************************************************** Justin’s POV: Brian just left about 2 minutes ago and if I want to get a hold of Michael and get us to talk before Bri gets back I gotta get on it now. So I pick p the phone and dial the number for the comic store. It rings three times before I hear Michael answer. “Rage comics how can I help you?” he says very nicely which I’m sure if he knew who this was it wouldn’t be that way at all. “Hello Michael...” I say. “Oh what do you need?” he says evenly, ok right to the point just the way I like it. “I was wondering if you could come over here? So we could talk.” “Talk about what? You got what you wanted. Brian to yourself.” he says indignantly. “Michael that was never what I wanted.” I say in a tired voice, I’m so tired of this same old fight, it’s stupid really. “Oh please.” he says, all whiny and I hate whining more than anything. “Well think what you want you always have. However I thought we could discuss a truce of some sort, for Brian’s sake.” I say quickly. I don’t want to deal with him when he’s like this but I know Brian needs his best friend. “Really?” he questions. “Of course.” I say in ‘duh’ tone. Jesus. “ look I know how important you two are to each other, and all I ever wanted was for Brian to be happy, and I think that he needs his best friend as much as he needs me.” I say truthfully. “Ok well give me a couple of minutes to close up the shop and I’ll be over there.” “Alright. I’ll see you when you get here then.” “Alright.” and we both disconnect. While I’m waiting for him to get here I get a start on the packing. Brian of course has a ton of clothes that he wants to take with him. I swear the man would take his entire closet with him if he could. I however don’t have as much so I go ahead and get my stuff done first and by the time I’m done with mine the buzzer is going off signaling Michael’s arrival. I run over an buzz him in, which is actually really nice since usually he would just let himself in with out so much as a knock. He’s walked in on us having sex to many times to count, and trust me something like that can wear on a persons nerves after a while. When there’s a knock on the door I open it up to Michael same as ever. I step a side and he passes by. We go and sit on the two chairs in the living room, I go ahead and jump in; why not just get this over with. “I know that we both don’t particularly like each other. But the fact is, is that we’re both in love with the same man.” he looks at me with big eyes. Everyone knows come on here but it is also an unspoken taboo type knowledge. Well I can tell you I’m sick of it. “Now I can’t say that I’m sorry that I’m with Brian, but I can say that I know how hard it is to be in love with him, and that I am sorry that you are hurt over Brian and I being together. I don’t want you to hurt, that was never my intention.” “Like you care.” he says. He sounds bitter and I can understand it. “Believe it or not I do. I don’t like to see anyone hurting. No matter what the circumstances.” “Can we just get to the point here?” he asks annoyed. “We need to just get over ourselves and learn to live with the placings we have in Brian’s life..” “That’s easy for you to say you have everything I ever wanted from him!” he practically yells at me. “It should be me Justin not you. I have been there for him for over 16 years! Loving him, taking care of him, sacrificing my happiness for his, making sure that I was always there whenever he needed me.” he says getting up and pacing in front of me. “So because you were there being his friend, I don’t deserve to be where he chooses me to be in his life?” he stops and turns to me. “Yes!” he says throwing his hands in the air. “Well that’s just bull shit.” he’s insane. “No it’s not; it’s the truth damn it.” “You know what Michael to bad.” “What?” “Too fucking bad. Life isn’t fair so suck it up.” I say evenly. “Look you little shit...” “No! You look...” I say standing up right in front of him. “I have every right to be with the man I love, with out getting shit from you every five seconds! Brian has a right to be with the person he chooses to be with, and just because it isn’t you doesn’t change that fact.” I move over to the bar to get a drink, to calm my anger just a bit. As I pour myself a shot of Beam I can feel his eyes on me. “You know your right.” “Hunh?” I question turning around to face him. He’s standing with his arms crossed over his chest. “He does have a right to be with whoever he chooses which is why you should’ve stayed gone.” oh my god. I just shake my head at him. “Your unbelievable.” “Why because I know the truth about your relationship?” “Right sure you do.” I say antagonistically. “Oh you know I do that’s why you hate me so much.” I already know what he thinks of our relationship. So I just roll my eyes at him. “He’s only with you because he feels sorry for you, and he thinks you’re his responsibility. That’s the only reason and you probably just left so that everyone would give him shit and that way when you came back he would have to take you back.” I fill the laughter just burst out of me, “I’m sorry...” I try and straighten my self up but it’s no use and the I just laugh even harder. “What the fuck are you laughing at?” he yells at me and I just shake my head, and try to control it. It takes another couple of seconds but I do get myself under control and face him again. “You can’t be serious. Do you hear yourself?” I ask him. My god he can’t really believe the things he says. “You know I’m right.” he says totally serious. “I know your insane.” I tell him just as seriously because if he believes what he says thewn he truly is. “I’m not insane!” he yells back at me. “If you believe that Brian would stay with anyone over pity or any other reason other than wanting to be with that person; than yes your seriously insane.” I tell him “maybe you should see someone about that.” I know I’m antagonizing him but I can’t seem to help myself. “You’re the one who needs help! Thinking that a man like Brian could really want to be with you every day. He’s way to intelligent, and sophisticated for you. Don’t you see that? Plus I know he loves me, he’s just not ready to give up all his crazy ways to settle down with me.” “Oh my god.” I say in awe. “Do you really think these things?” I ask him. “Of course I do. He shows me in little ways what he really wants and who he truly loves, and he knows that when he’s ready I’ll be there waiting for him.” he’s serious. “I don’t know what to do with you.” and I don’t I mean if these are the things that he is thinking than what am I to do? I didn’t know that he was so delusional. “You know what Justin, I’m tired of you constantly telling me what Brian wants and needs. I’m what Brian needs, and what he wants.” I feel my eyebrows go up. “See you know it, your just trying everything you can think of to postpone the inevitable. But I can tell you right now that no matter what you do he will always be mine and soon very soon he’s going to realize that he doesn’t have to take care of you that your not his responsibility and he’ll come to me and we’ll live our lives together.” “Oh boy.” I mumble under my breath. I thought we could come to an understanding about Brian but maybe I was wrong. “So why not do yourself a favor and give up the fight now?” he says siting back down in the chair. “I’m not going anywhere Michael so I think you better get used to me being around.” I tell him, as I take my drink and down it. When I look at him again he’s got a murderous look in his eyes and I can see where he’s looking. At my wedding ring. Shit! “What the fuck is that?” he says quietly. Pointing to my left hand. Fuck I don’t know if Brian wanted to let everyone in on this yet. Well it looks as though I don’t have a choice now. “Brian asked me to marry him, and I accepted.” I say simply. He gets up quickly and is in my face before I can move, grabbing my hand. “What did you do?” he says grabbing at my ring. I start to struggle to get my hand away from him. “I didn’t do anything. Let me go!” I yell at him yanking my hand away before he can get my ring off but the glass I was holding falls out of my hand shattering on the floor, and unfortunately I don’t have any shoes on and when I move to get away from him I step right into the glass and I feel the shards going into my feet. “Fuck!!” I say as the pain shoots thru my feet. I look down and see the blood seeping onto the floor and I have a quick flashback to when I slit my wrist, I shake the thought away quickly trying not to go into a panic attack now is definitely not the time for it. “Give me that ring!” I hear Michael yell at me and I turn to look at him as he grabs for my hand again, I turn and try to get away from him. But I slip on the blood and glass on the floor and fall to the ground hitting my head and I feel the pain pulse thru my head making it impossible to do anything but turn myself into a ball. “That’s my ring.” Michael says and I he takes my arm away from my head and rolls me over grabbing for my left hand and I try to struggle away from him but the pain in my head is so strong it makes my whole body weak. I do however keep my hand closed for as long as I can before he yanks me up and slams me back down, I feel my head slam into the floor again and everything goes black. ***************************************************************************** Brian’s POV: I actually got everything finished up in just an hour. I was actually surprised but there wasn’t much traffic. So everything was just a lot faster. I pull up to the loft and as I get out I see Michael running from the entrance and I jump out of the Jeep, something’s terribly wrong here. I yell at Michael as I see him crossing the street towards his car he turns towards me and I can see the surprise on his face as he turns away from me again I see a truck out the corner of my eye. “Michael!!” I yell one more time as I run towards him. He turns to look at me but see’s the truck first and freezes.
