Great story!
I kind of cheated - went and read all of it before comment here :(
but you know me :)
What surprise me was that I actually liked Claire here :)
Anyway, it was perfect New Year gift for me!
I wish you a wonderful year, Kim, happiness, sunshine and many new stories!
Author's Response: Thank you for reading and for the comments, Arakiss! I am happy that you liked it. It's a challenge keeping Brian IC here, but I'm trying to do that as much as possible, considering the circumstances. And thank you for all the support of my stories. I really appreciate that. ~Kim

well - that was just sweet - and hot - and fun - and I loved it!
now - let's see what happens in the light of day - hopefully Brian will be able to accept who he is - and the sweetness can continue?!?!?
Charle
Author's Response: Hi, Charle! Good way of putting it - light of day. That time when you begin to question what you've done the night before; much like Brian. There will definitely be some hesitation and confusion on his part coming up. I hope you continue to enjoy this one. Thanks for all the support and especially for commenting! Next part will be up today. ~Kim

Oh no Brian...don't hide now.
Author's Response: Hi, Tamara! Poor Brian...so attracted to Justin and scared shitless at the same time! They're about to be some angst introduced here coming up, but hopefully they can resolve any issues that arise.
Thanks for all the support and encouragement! Next part's coming up sometime today. Hope you have a good week, my friend. ~Kim

Lovely PWP. And then Brian's second guessing in the am. But, I noticed, no rejection of what happened. And he said they would meet the next morning. I am enjoying this story, can't wait to see the next chapter.
Author's Response: I'm so glad you're continuing to enjoy the story! Thanks for letting me know.;) As for 'no rejection,' well...I wouldn't call it rejection coming up, but there WILL be some rocky times to come yet before it's all said and done.;) I hope you hang in there with me, though, for the end.;) Brian still has some sorting out to do about his feelings here.
Thanks for reading, and especially for the feedback! It is much appreciated. The next part is coming up today. ~Kim

I saw chapter 4 posted the other day and was just coming to read that when I saw Chpater 5! Bonus!
Things certainly have move quickly with these two! It's a bit weird to see Justin as the experienced teacher and Brian as the pupil, even with the same age difference as we're used to in the show.
Great update!
Author's Response:
Hi, Trish! Thanks for continuing to read! Yes, I can see your point about that. Hopefully it's not TOO unbelievable. Brian's not sexually inexperiened by any means, but I think he's kind of been so accustomed to thinking along the same traditional/hetero lines (with his sister's matchmaking help) into thinking that's the way he should be that until Justin came along he really didn't think much about it. Hopefully I'm still managing to keep him pretty much IC despite that.
I hope you enjoy the rest. I will try to get the next part up shortly, but it will definitely be sometime today. Thanks again for all the support, my friend. ~Kim

'wwwooowww' to you too!
Author's Response: Hi, Therese! Thank you for continuing to read and comment! Brian's still not quite sure what to make of this strong depth of attraction for another man. He's still on a journey of discovery here, so there're some bumps left in the road. I do hope you continue to enjoy it. I may get the next part up before I leave for work today (hopefully). If not, it will definitely be posted sometime later today. Thanks again for all the support! ~Kim

Oh Kim. Justin in the driver's seat is extremely hot here. I was wondering how long it would take Brian to figure things out and be brave and it was quicker than I thought. I am so glad because this was so great. Sweet, hot, sexy and adorable all at once. Poor Brian, having to wait until age 40 to figure things out!!! I am SO enjoying this. Can't wait unti tomorrow.

Author's Response: Hi, Terri! I'm glad (as well as relieved) that you didn't feel it was rushed; thanks for letting me know.;) And yes, more to come today (wink, wink).

Gosh, you really went all out. Very realistic in MHO. The next chapter should be a doozy.
Author's Response: Hi, my dear! I'm glad you thought it was realistic. I definitely didn't want it to feel rushed, but after the furtive glances and more-or-less flirting going on over dinner, I thought it would not be out of the question for it to progress this way.;) And yes, let's just say they're not done yet (wink, wink).

Cruel, cruel Predec2! That was mean leaving us on a cliffie! Especially with your categories.
Seriously, great handling of a delicate situation. Not canon of course, but very believable.
Now I have to go goggle Kinky Boots to see what it is.
Author's Response: Hi, my friend! Yes, I know (hiding under desk). But hopefully tomorrow's update will make up for it. (wink, wink). I know it's a complicated balance, keeping Brian as much IC here as I can, but with the plot there's got to be some growing/learning involved, as well as a journal of disovery, for our normally self-assured man. I hope I can keep him believable for the remainder of the story. I'm glad that you still enjoyed this chapter.
Thanks for reading, and for the comments. I will have the next part up tomorrow.;) ~Kim
P.S. Kinky Boots is basically a play about accepting people for who they are; not what we want them to be. it's a musical with a lot of dancing and singing, and the guy who played Lola in this tour was powerful. His solo literally brought tears to my eyes; it was so powerful. Great play.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! AHAHAHAHAMAZING! Last chapter was all cute and adorable! and then this chapter was all sexy and steamy and yummy. PERFECT! Justin is amazingly patient and understanding. I love Justin in this story, and how considerate he is of Brian's on feelings. Can't wait to read the next chapter.
Olivia
Author's Response: Hi, Olivia! I'm so happy (and relieved in a way) that you liked this chapter. I know Brian is normally such a dominant person - and in some ways he still he is here - but to keep him true to this story, he needs to be a bit more on the restrained side, so not sure how everyone will react to this. Next chapter, too. But it is a progression - and Brian is still learning here. He knows what he wants - and WHO he wants now - but he needs a little coaching by a certain blond first.;)
So glad you liked this update! Will have the next part up tomorrow. Things won't be all smooth sailing between them just yet (have to throw just a bit of angst in there to keep it interesting, but you know how I like to make them happy eventually).
Thank you for continuing to read and review! I appreciate that so much. ~Kim

'You can't make someone change their sexual orientation just by cooking them some linguini!"
LOL. That was my favorite line.
I find myself checking the site periodically for a update. I started reading the first chapter thinking it sounded familiar and realized I had watched the beginning of the movie this was based on (What Happens Next) but never was inclined to finish it until reading your fic. I like what you've done with it.
:)
Author's Response: Hi, Sandra! So good to see you reading this one.;) It was a good film, and my beta actually persuaded me to adapt it to B and J. It's hard to keep Brian IC in this story as a result, but hopefully I won't let him stray too far away.;) I hope you enjoy the rest of the story; the next chapter's coming up.

I feel bad that Mrs Kinney didn't get to go and see her friend. Maybe the dogs will get "together" before Justin and Brian. I wonder if Brian will run scared now and not show up in the park for a couple days. Great story, as always. Bill
Author's Response: Hi, Bill! Not to worry; they will see each other again (the dogs, I mean - ha!). You're about to find out when they meet up again, and it might just surprise you.

'Met any interesting guys yet?'' Where do you you find them?'
For whom is Brian asking?
It's funny how a person can be oblivious to attraction of another when it's staring them in the face so to speak. All the signs are there.
How funny! 'Mrs Kinney'' to annoy his well meaning sister. Well it certainly did.
Author's Response: Hi, there! I'm delighted to see you reading this one.;) Poor Brian - experienced in the world of hetero sex, but he has no clue what he's doing, other than he knows he's attracted to a different sort of blond now.;) But he's about to get a lesson (wink, wink).

Reviewer: DavidR (Signed) · Date: January 09, 2016 05:37 AM · On: It's Just Dinner...Right?
Thanks for the chapters. I do need to be a little careful here
as I don’t want to get into trouble with MW and the readers. I do
have a friend who has a French Bulldog with enormous ears.
Each time I meet my friend with his dog, I start out with the usual
comment, “that can’t be a dog.” His reply is simply a bunch of
curse words.
I also have a friend who has a Pug. Each time I go into his
apartment and see the dog sort of bent sideways sleeping and
sure enough snorting repeatedly, I always say “oink, oink.” Of
course my friend’s reply is also mostly curse words.
Before I get into trouble with MW Admin and before Justin
pops out of my screen and recites a PSA about those two breads,
I do admit that my friends love their dogs and the reverse, the
dogs love their owners. But I couldn’t help but laugh when Brian
called Justin’s dog a piglet. That is exactly the way I see it.
Anyway, thanks for the story. I do enjoy reading it.
DavidR
Author's Response: Hi, David! I'm always delighted to hear from you, and I had to smile at your comments. I think French bulldogs are so cute, although I've never owned one of that breed. But I AM a huge dog lover. Maybe that's why I like having them featured in a lot of my stories. Low maintenance, and I don't have to walk them in RL - LOL! Quite a coincidence that you have friends with both kinds of dogs. Pugs have that really strong, curly-Q sort of tail that is so unique, and that snorting sound! I grew up with a best friend across the street whose family would only have pugs. They're cute, but I'm sort of a lab or golden retriever sort of gal.;)
Thanks for reading so far, and for taking the time to comment! I truly appreciate that.;) The next part's coming up this morning, and let's just say that things are about to heat up a bit.;) I hope you continue to enjoy it! ~Kim

Love this - Brian is like a flower - slowly opening up to face the sun - and sun in Justin. (Oh that was corny - even for me....LOL) It's nice to see Brian and Justin building a friendship first - it's a good base for a long lasting relationship - of course good old lust is the cherry on top.....
Author's Response: Hi, Monica! Ha - that's okay; I kind of liked the analogy! You may find out the pace is definitely about to pick up here, so if it's not a long courtship/friendship, I still hope you like the direction it takes in the next chapter. It certainly won't be all smooth sailing for these two; that much I can reveal.;) '

Happy to be able to read the next installment!
Kinda hard to imagine Brian as a shy, insecure 40 year old virgin! Hopefully Justin will remedy that soon!
Author's Response: Hi, Trish! Well, he would only be considered that when it comes to Justin; I'm sure he's had his share of hetero sex up until now, but this is definitely new territory for him. And I'm not sure I see him as shy for the most part; hesitant and unsure about what he is feeling for Justin, but definitely able to speak his mind in other cases. At any rate, I hope you enjoy the story. Thanks for reading and for the comments. ~Kim

Great beginning. I don't usually like AU but this is a really interesting premise. Can't wait to see where you go with it. You are breaking records with your fast updates!! Bill
Author's Response: Hi, Bill! Well, it's funny how everyone's interpretation of AU differs, but I'm assuming you mean b/c Brian is portrayed here as straight (or at least he's deluded into thinking that - ha!). But I'm glad you're going to give it a try. And while I wish I could be this speedy with ALL my stories (i.e., my two WIPs), it's only because I had it completely done before I started posting it. I'm going to try my best going forward after I finish my two WIPS to finish any new multi-chapter stories first, or at least have most of it done. I just feel too bad when I can't update them regularly like you are so good at doing with your own story.;) And, of course, out of courtesy to the other writers, I won't post more than one chapter a day of this story until it's completely finished.
Thanks for trying this one out! I hope you continue to enjoy it. And BTW, thanks, too, for your kind words about the site, and for the support. As Bob said, we are very lucky to have you as a writer on here. :) ~Kim

A part of me wants to save a few chapters but let's be honest, ain't gonna happen! Way too delicious!!! Come on, Brian, you won't be able to resist that bottom!

It's wonderful to see Daphne in this tale. I have to agree that it seems odd that Brian at 40 would have no clue he might be gay. Love the dogs, love the dinner. Just have to wait and see where you go with this.
Author's Response: I always loved the feistiness of Daphne's character, and how she stood up for Justin on the show. She will be both a confidant as well as a solace to him coming up.

Author's Response: Hi, Carol! Thank you for reading, and especially for the feedback; that is deeply appreciated. I'm happy that you are enjoying this characterization. It's hard for me to keep Brian IC in this situation, but hopefully I will keep him as close to the character we know as possible. I think he can still have doubts about his sexuality and still maintain a lot of the same qualities we all recognize in him. I'm glad, too, that I can post daily. I feel terrible about not being able to do that with my two WIPs, but once they are done, I'm going to try hard NOT to post any multi-chaptered ones until they are at least done, or mainly done, so readers don't have to wait so long in between my updates. But I WILL get the other two finished; I am always dedicated to doing that, and have never left one unfinished yet.;)

just a rereview from last one. The listeners really loved this from beginning to the last word. They liked the differenc Brian ans how he evolved to the Brian they know and love. Hope you are ok. You mentioned being on meds. You take care of yourself you hear. We all are worried and don't forget we love you as you are part of our family/ lol
Author's Response: Hi, dear friend. ;) You are very kind to leave feedback on here for this one. I'm glad the 'peeps' enjoyed it.:) As for the meds, I'm basically healthy physically; mentally, well, I guess that's another issue that would take up much too much space here to fully explain, but I'm doing okay. I can't tell you what it means, though, to know that you care and are concerned. I so wish one day that we could meet so I could tell you and the others how much your support and encouragement have meant to me. Some days just hearing that from you and other faithful readers is the only thing that gets me through the stress and insanity of RL, so never think I do not appreciate it. I do beyond words.

Author's Response: Thank you so much, Terri! Yes, I know; very unusual for me (unfortunately) to be able to post daily. But going forward - after my two WIPs are done, both of which are close to completion - I'm going to try to either have all the chapters written, or at least most of them so readers won't have to wait so long in between updates. I feel so bad about that. I always finish every story I write, but with everything on here as an admin and RL, it's extremely difficult for me to update quickly. So I'm going to try and do better about that moving forward. I'm glad that I can post this one daily, though, and I'm very happy that you're enjoying it.

I don't like how your story is making me act. I'm feeling ridiculously giddy and squealing like a school girl. This is why I don't read fanfiction at my internship and especially why I don't read it during lunch- (I share an office with my supervisor.) I'm just breaking all my rules today.
Because-
I squealed when Brian mentioned pflag. I squealed when Justin asked if Brian missed him- and then Brian said no (perfect). I squealed when Justin got all shy and asked Brian to dinner...the questions and looks my coworkers were giving me..... I can't handle this mushy stuff.
tomorrow....sigh... I'll be up and ready to read the next chapter (because I'm hooked)

Mmh, a new story of yours! I would have read the first chapter any way, but than I found your anouncement that you will post a new chapter every day. Happy me - I'm not good in waiting for new chapters :-)
I like your Justin, and I like Claire and even the dogs. I like the light, a bit humoristic tone, the more feel-good than all-angsty start. Thank you for sharing!
Author's Response: Hi, Steff! I'm so happy you're going to be reading this one, and I'm glad that you are enjoying the characterizations in this story. I know how you feel, too, about WIPs. I'm guilty of that myself, with two presently, but except for one-shots here and there, I'm going to try and make my own, personal New Year's resolution not to post multi-chaptered stories until they are either all complete or near to complete. I don't like the guilt I feel when I can't update as quickly as I would like, and I'm sure it can get frustrating to readers when there's a while in between updates. But I always finish my stories, and those will be no exception.
I hope you continue to enjoy the rest! I'll have the next part up in just a little while. Thanks for reading, and especially for commenting! I greatly appreciate that. ~Kim

It's interest to find that , I assume, Brian's nephew is gay. And that Brian missed Justin when he didn't show. Plus we learn that Emmett cuts hair. Not to mention that Brian isn't ready to admit he's gay too.
Author's Response: Hi, there! As always, I'm grateful to you for reading and especially for commenting. :)
I thought Emmett with his styling flair would make a great hair stylist. Maybe I'll have to try and write another fic with him as that.;) I hope you're continuing to enjoy the direction this story is going; I'll have Chapter 3 up tomorrow. ~Kim

Oooo....this is going to be good! I can't wait for the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you, Tamara! Just posted Chapter 2. Brian's getting in deeper and deeper (wink, wink). Hope you continue to enjoy it, my friend. ~Kim

I can already tell that I'm going to fall madly in love with this story. It is amazing! I love this portrayal of Claire and I love semi straight Brian and confident gay Justin!! Yes!?'!!! I can't wait for what you concoct for the next chapter
Author's Response: Hi, Olivia! First of all, thank you for being one of our writers on the site. We love having new authors on here, and I'm glad you are continuing to post stories. I have so little spare time right now, it's hard for me to play catch up with my own reading, but hopefully I can do that soon.;P)
Thank you for reading this one, and for the feedback! And yes, while Justin is going to have some moments of angst coming up, he's going to be in the 'driver's seat' off and on here (wink, wink) until a certain hesitant older man figures it all out.;) I do hope you enjoy the rest of the story! Part Two is coming up shortly.:) Thanks again. ~Kim
P.S. Love the lyrical author name, BTW. :) Too cute.

oh Kim - I needed a giggle tonight - and this definitely fit the bill
poor Brian - believing he is straight - whatever will he do as he find that this blond bundle of joy is everything he never knew he wanted - can't wait to see him figure out how it all works...*wink wink
and Mrs Kinney - what a hoot!
so much fun - thanks for that
Charle
Author's Response:
Hi, my friend! Always delighted to see you reading a story of mine.:) I'm so glad this one gave you a smile. Yes, it's definitely a departure from Brian's norm; hopefully, though, I'm still going to keep him IC as much as possible. There's the rub, though; how do you do that when all his life he's been led to believe he's straight? But he's about to find out how wrong he is. (tee, hee). And don't worry; Justin will give him the 'help' he needs coming up. (wink, wink)
Thanks so much for reading, and especially for commenting, Charle! I appreciate so much. Ch. 2 will be posted shortly. *Hugs* ~Kim

This is a great first chpt Kim. I'm very excited to read the rest.
Can't wait until Justin "unstraightens" Brian.
Also love Mrs Kinney. You certainly know how to write good dog
Author's Response: Hi, Kearney! I'm delighted to see you reading this one.;) Thank you for the feedback, also. I'm glad that you are enjoying it so far.

Interesting premise, looking forward to reading more.
Author's Response: Thank you for reading, and for the comments, Kimi! I'll have Chapter Two up tomorrow. ;) It should be about 8 chapters in all (it IS finished). ~Kim

I've enjoyed your writing and the storyline a lot. It's quite unusual to hve a straight Brian in a story and I can't wait to see his interactions with Justin.
Author's Response: Hi, Lauren! Well, let's just say that Brian thinks he's straight; he's soon going to find out that's not exactly the case. *g*
I'm glad you're enjoying the story so far. I'll have the next part up tomorrow. Thank you for reading, and for the comments. ~Kim

Well that was fun. Brian is definitely a late bloomer. It's going to be an interesting journey for the boys. Love Deb as the housekeeper. Brian naming the dog Mrs Kinney - what a hoot....LOL
Author's Response: Hi, Monica! Well, let's just say that Brian is going to be a fast learner.;) Glad you liked the name he picked out for his new companion, and I just couldn't resist putting Debbie in that role; it was too perfect. Thanks for reading, and for the comments! I'll have the next chapter up tomorrow. :) ~Kim
Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: January 06, 2016 04:27 PM · On: Meet Mrs. Kinney
Now this is what I call different. Brian, retired, over 30. Claire his 'younger sister' married 9 times? Deb a housekeeper. When you had a trainer mentioned I thought ahhh Justin. Wrong! I like how they meet and both have dogs. French bulldog and pug - at least they are both short. I look forward to seeing who else shows up. Michael? Emmett? Ted? Lindsay or Melanie? The possibilities are endless.
Author's Response: Hi, my friend! Yeah...don't think Claire's the best person to give out lovelorn device - ha! Can you imagine the joining of a pug and a French bulldog? Would not be pretty - LOL!
Thanks for reading this one. It IS complete. I will post another chapter tomorrow. And yes, there will be at least one more well-known character being introduced in a different role. :) Thanks for the comments! ~Kim
