Sickness & Health, Good Times & Bad
Post 513, the story starts after Justin spent 18 months in NYC before coming back to Pittsburgh 6 months later. Justin & Brian’s relationship remained intact during the NYC sojourn. I do not own the characters just the situations.
Chapter 76
When Justin finally made it down to breakfast, John & Peter were sitting at the kitchen table with Alice & Charlie. Peter had downloaded his pictures from San Francisco onto his laptop. The boys were telling the Simpsons about their trip and everything they had seen. Neither Charlie nor Alice had ever been to California so they were enjoying the boys’ travelogue.
Alice started to get up when Justin walked into the kitchen. “Alice sit down. I can get my own breakfast.”
Justin cut a bagel and dropped it into the toaster before pouring a cup of coffee. Alice glanced over from the table. “Justin there is some fresh fruit cut up in a bowl in the refrigerator.”
Justin laughed. “Does Brian pay you a bonus for being sure I eat fruit every morning?”
“Nope. Your continued good health is my only reward.”
That caused general laughter at the kitchen table. Justin sat facing away from the table at the kitchen counter so no one could see the smile on his face.
John & Peter had thanked Justin and Brian many times for the San Francisco trip but Justin was interested in hearing them tell Alice & Charlie about everything they did during the trip. Justin was really touched by how the boys talked about all the things the uncles had taken them to see and what an awesome time both boys had during their time in California.
Justin kept turned away from the table now because he didn’t want to embarrass the boys by seeing how touched he was by what they were saying.
As the trip discussion wound down Justin got up to get some fruit. He could see Alice was watching him and held the bowl of fruit up high. “Getting fruit! Obeying orders General”
Charlie and the boys laughed while Alice tried to look stern but failed. John’s cell phone rang.
“Hi Grandmom Jen.”
“That sounds like fun. Yeah he’s right here. “
John took the phone away from his mouth. “Uncle Justin, Grandmom Jen wants to take Gus, Peter and me bowling on Friday. After bowling we’ll go to Target so we can get all out school supplies. Is that okay?”
Justin smiled. “Sure that sounds like fun. The only problem is that Gus won’t be with us until afternoon. Mom will have to check with Lindsay or Mel about Gus going with you guys.
”
John picked his phone up. He nodded as he listened to Jennifer.
“Grandmom Jen says she already cleared this with Lindsay. She or Mel are going to drop Gus at Kinnetik in the morning and after she picks us up we’ll get Gus on our way to bowling.”
Justin nodded. “Sounds perfect.”
John and Peter both had big smiles on their faces. John listened to Jennifer a couple more minutes.
“Okay. Thanks Grandmom. Bye, I love you too.”
Peter & John high fived after the call ended. Justin chuckled.
Alice got up from the table. “You boys are really having a great summer. I hope you are appreciating it.”
Peter spoke up. “Believe me Alice we know how lucky we are. This has been the most amazing summer of our lives. To continue the good times how about we get changed and go swimming?”
John nodded and the two of them headed up to their bedrooms.
Charlie went outside to work in the garden and Alice came over the kitchen bar.
“Justin, I told John and Peter that I am giving them dinner at five o’clock. Charlie and I will eat with them. After dinner we are going to take the boys, pick up our grandson, David, and go to the movies over in Moon Township.”
Justin smiled at Alice. “Thanks but you really don’t need to do that.”
“I don’t have to do anything but pay taxes and eventually die. You and Brian need some alone time after your trip. I’ve ordered a couple tuna steaks that I’ll marinate and you can sear those when Brian gets home. I’ll get a tray of vegetables ready to roast and you’ll have a delicious, easy to prepare dinner.”
Justin got up and gave Alice a kiss on the cheek. “That does sound great. Thank you! I’m going up to the studio.”

At Kinnetik Greg walked into Brian’s office for a meeting.
Brian was sitting in a chair in the seating area of the office. He motioned for Greg to sit on the couch beside him.
“So Greg. Sorry I wasn’t here for your first day but it was unavoidable. You’ll deal more, day to day, with Cynthia anyway. As long as she was here to welcome you on board everything should be okay.”
Greg smiled. “Cynthia was great and Jason in the art department has been a big help.”
“I do want to make something absolutely clear to you. I’m not completely sure what reservations Justin had about hiring you but you were smart to work those out with him. You need to know that my son and Justin are the most important people in my life. There are other people I care about but no one come close to Gus and Justin. I also trust Justin more than anyone else in the world. I know he always has my best interests at heart and I feel the same way about him. Going forward never underestimate Justin’s influence not only in my personal life but in my professional life as well.”
Greg nodded. “I understand that now. I did underestimate Justin’s role here at Kinnetik during my interview. If I needed any further proof of his influence here I have gotten reinforcement in the art department. Pretty much everyone has mentioned Justin’s involvement with them.”
“Cynthia and I hired Hal overruling Justin’s reservations about him. Justin never let us forget that so neither of us wants to repeat that error. Hal was jealous of Justin and always thought Justin was trying to replace him as head of the art department.”
Greg chuckled. “Jason told me that Hal felt that way. He told me that he told Hal a couple times that if Justin wanted to be head of the art department Hal had no chance of stopping him. Jason knows that Justin has no desire for the job. I asked Jason if he was disappointed about not being considered for the job but he told me he was happy doing what he is doing.”
“I pretty much monopolize Jason for my campaigns.”
“Yeah I got that message from a few people. I’d like to try some other guys for some of your stuff. I have been working a little with Jason on the Franklin stuff over the past couple days. We should have something to show you tomorrow if you have time.”
“I’ll have time for that. I’ll let you know which stuff of mine you can farm out to someone other than Jason. Justin thinks Leon has a lot of potential.”
Greg checked his notes. “Yeah I agree. There are a few other people that just need some encouragement to really go to the next level. I have to tell you the last couple days have been great. Pretty much everything at the hospital was the same thing over and over. All the creativity here is energizing.”
Brian laughed. “Well I’m sure after a few weeks you get over that feeling. When you do run into problems don’t hesitate to go to Cynthia. She knows everything about Kinnetik. Are all Kevin’s docs okay with our medical insurance?”
“Roxanne is still checking a couple of them but so far we’re good.”
“Well again if you run into any problems let Cynthia know. She enjoys chewing up and spitting out paper pushers whenever she can.”
“Cynthia told me she learned that from the best.”
“I won’t often repeat this but she has perfected it and is now better at it than I ever was.”
Both men laughed and continued their discussion.
*************************************************************************************
At home Justin was doing some preliminary work on the last PPG mural when his cell phone rang. He glanced at the display and answered the call.
“Hi Mary.”
“Hi Justin. I hope you had a good trip to San Francisco and a successful show.”
“Both the trip and the show were great. What can I do for you?”
“Josh and Peter have been plotting. I have been informed that on Saturday we are going to play miniature golf followed by an early dinner and a movie. Josh says that is what he and Peter thought was the best plan. Actually Bill and I are fine with it. I’m just checking to be sure that is okay with you and Brian.”
Justin smiled. “I think I can answer for both of us and that sounds fine. What time should Peter be ready?”
“We’ll pick him up around one o’clock and why doesn’t he just spend the night with us and we’ll bring him home after breakfast on Sunday.”
“Sounds good. Thanks Mary. I’ll let Peter know he has permission to go with you guys.”
*************************************************************************************
At Kinnetik Ted hung up with Jennifer who had painters that were available to paint Nina’s room tomorrow. His phone rang almost immediately.
“Hi Teddy it’s Blake.”
“What’s up honey?”
“I’m at the furniture that Brian recommended. They have a perfect bedroom set for Nina and they can even deliver it on Saturday.”
“That sounds good.”
“The set has a vanity that matches it and of course Nina loves it!”
“That also sounds good.”
“Well…”
“Blake baby what’s the problem?”
“The whole thing will cost over three thousand dollars. I never dreamt it would be so expensive.”
Ted chuckled. “Well since Brian recommended the store you should have been prepared for big ticket prices. Just put it on your American Express. They’ll probably want ID from you but that price is fine. Nina will have that furniture for a long time and we can afford it. Jennifer told Brian about the rent that Viola can afford and Brian is accepting that as the rent without us having to pay the difference.”
There was quiet on the other end of the line for a few moments. “Wow! Why would he do that?”
“Brian can be very kind. He just doesn’t like a lot of people to know it so don’t do anything crazy like thanking him. Plus I think he is a little afraid of Jennifer.”
Blake laughed. “If you’re sure about this furniture I’ll buy it. Nina will be over the moon. She has told everyone who even looked her way that her Teddy Man is buying her Princess furniture.”
The two men said good bye and Ted took out his handkerchief and dabbed at his eyes. He hoped he would never have to disappoint Nina.
Brian called Justin’s cell a little before 6 PM to let him know he was on his way home. Justin put the tray of vegetables that Alice had prepared into the oven. He went upstairs and changed into a dark blue speedo that Brian loved him to wear. He pulled on a shirt that he knew was a perfect shade to make his eyes pop and went back downstairs to the kitchen.
Justin heard the garage door open and went over by the kitchen door. When Brian spotted Justin standing there he smiled. The look on his face changed as he took in what his partner was wearing. Justin watched Brian’s eyes narrow and darken. Brian leaned over and delivered a searing kiss that made Justin a little breathless.
Brian looked around the kitchen. “Where are John and Peter?”
Justin’s smile widened. “They ate earlier with Alice and Charlie. Alice and Charlie took them and their grandson to a movie over in Moon Township. The show should be starting about now and afterwards they are going out for ice cream.”
“Remind me to tell Ted to give them a bonus!”
Justin shook his head and chuckled. “Go get changed. These tuna steaks have been marinating all afternoon. I have the pan ready to go so I just had to sear them and take the vegetables out of the oven and dinner will be ready to eat. I thought afterwards we could spend some time in the hot tub.”
Brian delivered another kiss before going upstairs.
When Brian reappeared in his own speedo and a black sleeveless shirt, Justin was spooning the roasted vegetables into a bowl. The tuna steaks were each sitting on a plate.
“Bri there’s a nice bottle of Chardonnay in the refrigerator. Why don’t you open that and get some plastic glasses. It is such a nice evening I thought we would eat on the patio.”
Brian did as Justin suggested while Justin assembled plates, flatware and the vegetables on a tray. They enjoyed their dinner and Brian enjoyed playing footsies with an amused Justin while they ate.
Once dinner was over both men removed their clothes and walked over to the hot tub carrying their plastic wine glasses. The sat next to each other with Brian’s arm firmly around Justin holding him tight. Their hands explored each other’s bodies while they kissed.
After a short time Justin climbed onto Brian’s lap and slowly lowered himself on Brian stiff cock.
Brian took a quick breath as his cock was sheathed in Justin’s soft warm rectum. Justin sat still for a few minutes while they continued to hungrily kiss each other. As Justin started to slowly move up and down Brian kissed every part of Justin’s body he could reach. Justin’s hands explored Brian’s body rubbing and lightly pinching the areas he knew would drive Brian wild.
As Brian felt his climax coming he grabbed Justin’s cock and stroked him to climax and as Justin’s smooth, warm tunnel squeezed down on his cock Brian climaxed. Both men were left breathless as Justin resumed his seat beside Brian. They looked at each other and chuckled as they retrieved their wine and settled back and relaxed.
Brian ran his fingers through Justin’s hair. “There is no one like you Sunshine. That was amazing.”
Justin rested his head against Brian’s shoulder. “Alice and Charlie deserve a really big bonus!”
They both laughed before Brain leaned down for another kiss. Brian got out of the hot tub to refill their wine glasses. He came back and sat next to Justin who leaned against him. Brian put his arm around Justin and pulled him close.
Justin sighed in contentment. Brian smiled at him. “It’s been a while since we had the hot tub to ourselves Sunshine.”
“It has, do you mind very much?”
Brian was quiet for a moment. “Yes and no. We have to be sure and carve out time for ourselves but having the devil spawn here hasn’t been too bad.”
Justin swatted Brian’s arm. “Do not call your nephews devil spawn. They are actually very nice boys!”
“I know. How is that possible with Claire as a mother? I don’t want you to spread this around but I actually enjoy them at times. They were interesting to watch in San Fran. They were so wide eyed so much of the time.”
Justin laughed. “This morning they were showing Alice and Charlie the photos Peter took and telling them about the trip. It was really nice to hear them talk about what a good time they had.”
“Hmmmmmm. Did a blonde somebody get allergies while listening to that conversation?”
“Almost but not quite. By the way Gus is getting dropped off at Kinnetik on Friday morning. My mother will pick him up to take him bowling with John and Peter. After bowling they are going to Target to get back to school supplies.”
Brian was a little surprised. “How did you go about getting permission from that outing from the munchers?”
Justin shrugged. “Mom arranged it. I think there must be a story there.”
Brian laughed. “Mother Taylor was hard at work today. She got me to accept ridiculously low rent on an apartment for Theodore’s ward’s grandmother. He wants her closer to him and Blake.”
Justin gave Brian a gooey eyed loving look. “Sunshine do NOT look at me like that. It was your mother’s plan I just agreed.”
“Yeah. You are a regular Simon Lagree.”
Brian started to tickle Justin who quickly retaliated. They went to neutral corners still laughing.
Justin looked across at Brian. “Could we be serious for a moment?”
“I can be serious Sunshine. I’m not sure about you?”
“There’s something that I’ve been thinking about for a while. Even before the boys came to live with us but more now that they are here.”
Brian groaned. “You know how I dread those words from you, “I’ve been thinking”. That usually doesn’t signal anything good.”
“Brian I mean it I want to be serious for a couple minutes. There’s something I want you to think about. I don’t want you to say anything right away but just think about what I’m going to say.”
Brian smirked. “Can I guess what you want me to think about?”
Justin nodded. “You’ll never guess.”
“You want to talk about having a baby.”
Justin was wide eyed with amazement. “How could you know that?”
Brian moved over next to Justin and pulled him close. “Sunshine I know that I something you have always had in the back of your mind. Since John and Peter have been living here I could see your brain working. Gus is getting older and may even enjoy a baby brother or sister.”
The tears over flowed Justin’s eyes and ran down his cheeks. Brian hated that!
“What’s with the tears? I’m saying I am okay with this.”
“I know. I love you so much and you are so wonderful. I can’t believe you know what I wanted to talk about.”
“I’m going to change my mind if you don’t stop with the tears right now!”
Justin’s answer was to kiss Brian.
Justin got a sunshine smile on his face. “I don’t want to mention this until we have everything all set up and a surrogate is actually pregnant.”
Brian nodded. “I agree. Also I want an anonymous donor egg, no one we know. A donor egg from a blonde so we can have a little Sunshine running around here.”
Justin agreed. That bit of business out of the way it was time for another round of sex. Afterwards they went up to the Master Bath and had a shower. By the time the nephews got home, Bran and Justin were dressed in shorts and T-shirts sitting on the patio sipping wine.
*************************************************************************************
Ted and Blake had a less enjoyable evening. They moved some princess things into the third bedroom where Nina would sleep for the next couple nights. They moved everything they could out of the front bedroom and pushed the larger pieces of furniture into the middle of the room so the painters could get to the walls without a problem.
Nina enjoyed watching Ted and Blake work and kept talking about her new princess furniture that would be coming on Saturday.
Fortunately the excitement of the day tired Nina out. She was happy to get a quick bath and was asleep before Teddy Man read her two pages of a storybook.
Ted and Blake were in bed shortly after Nina went to sleep and asleep quickly.
The next morning Ted got to the office really early so he could get some work done before picking up Viola. He had told Cynthia what his plans were for the day and she told him to take all the time he needed. When he picked up Viola the movers that Jennifer arranged were already there and packing up Viola’s possessions. She had marked the things that were to be moved to the new apartment and which things were to be discarded.
She told Ted he could just drop her off but he insisted on going in with her and agreed to be the contact person for the hospital. Viola hugged him when Ted when he left which embarrassed him but also pleased him.
He stopped at the diner on the way back to Kinnetik to pick up some lunch. Debbie gave him a big hello. Michael and Ben were sitting in a booth having lunch so Ted went over to say hello.
Debbie put his order in and came over to the booth. “So Ted when do we get to meet the new addition to the family?”
Ted smiled at how accepting Debbie was of Nina becoming part of family. “We’re pretty busy for the next couple days. I just dropped Nina’s grandmother at the hospital for her chemo treatment. There are painters at the house painting Nina’s room pink. Mover are coming to take my old bedroom set to Viola’s new apartment near our house. On Saturday Nina’s new princess bedroom set gets delivered and Viola will get released probably on Saturday afternoon.”
Debbie looked concerned. “You guys have a lot going on. How about you come to dinner on Sunday. Michael and Ben are coming for dinner and they’ll have JR with them.”
“I’ll have to check with Blake but that sounds good. Nina is starting at Fort Pitt School on Monday so it would be great for her to meet JR so she knows someone on her first day.”
Michael frowned but Debbie was excited. “So you really need to come. We’re eating early around four so the kids can get to bed and be ready for school the next morning.”
Ted thanked Debbie, picked up his lunch and headed to Kinnetik.
“Ma why did you invite them for dinner. We don’t know anything about this girl they have living with them. I’m not sure she is the right kind of person to be friends with JR.”
Both Ben and Debbie stared at Michael. Debbie gave him a quick slap to the side of his head.
“Who the fuck are you, Mr Astor? She is a little girl who has had some rough times but there is no reason she and JR can’t be great friends.”
Ben didn’t say anything but Michael could tell his partner was not happy with him. “Okay. I guess it will be okay. Ted is so cheap, I’m surprised he is willing to pay the tuition at Fort Pitt.”
Ben did speak up now. “That’s pretty harsh Michael. Since we haven’t paid any part of JR’s tuition I don’t think we should criticize anyone else. We are lucky that Justin and Brian have been so generous.”
Michael nodded. “I don’t think Justin has much to do with paying any tuition. It’s Brian who makes all the money with Kinnetik.”
Debbie shook her head. “Justin makes more money with his art than you do at your fucking comic book store. Brian wouldn’t pay anything if Justin didn’t agree to it.”
There were customers that needed attention so Debbie moved away before Michael could say anything in reply.
Ben turned to Michael. “You need to get over this fixation you have with Justin not being an equal partner with Brian. Do you feel less of a partner because I make more money than you?”
“No of course not but Brian is different.”
Ben shook his head. “We can’t discuss this because I don’t want to argue with you. I think Brian is grateful to have Justin in his life and you should be happy that your friend has someone who loves him so much.”
Michael didn’t say anything.
Ted ate his lunch at his desk while he worked. His cell phone rang and he saw the call was from Jennifer.
“Hi Ted. I just wanted to tell you not to worry about getting the apartment set up for Viola to come home. Alice and I have our plan for Saturday morning. Debbie is going to drop off some frozen lasagna and chicken soup and Alice is bringing some vegetable soup and stew that she has frozen. I bought a soft mattress pad for the bed and some Ensure and soda for her to drink. Alice has a bedspread and sheet set that she only used once. Charlie told her it was too flowery and he would sleep in the guest room if she kept it on the bed. It even has some curtains that match so we’ll get the bedroom set up for her.”
Ted was overwhelmed. “Jennifer you don’t have to do that. You have never even met Viola this is way too much for you and Alice to do.”
“Ted I didn’t call for your permission I called to let you know that you and Blake need to concentrate on Nina and getting her settled into your household. Alice and I are happy to put the finishing touches on the apartment.”
Ted wasn’t sure what to say. He knew that Jennifer would do what she wanted regardless of what he said. “Well that is really nice of you. I’m sure Viola will be really grateful and I am grateful too.”
“Ted, we’re all family. No need for any thanks and there is no obligation to us. I’m looking forward to meeting Nina. I’m very happy for all of you.”
Ted thanked her and disconnected. He had a million emotions running through his head so he concentrated on his work to calm himself.
In Brian’s office, Jason and Greg were showing him the ad boards they had worked up for Franklin Pharmaceuticals. Brian was scheduled to meet with the company next Thursday. He was very pleased by the boards and had only a couple of very minor changes that he wanted made.
As they headed back to the art department Jason turned to Greg. “Don’t get used to that easy a meeting with Brian. He usually has a lot more to say and it isn’t good stuff.”
Greg laughed. “I’ll keep that in mind. Meanwhile good job on these boards.”
*************************************************************************************
Justin received an email from Barry Joyce with a photo attachment of their office lobby. He included the dimensions of the area where they wanted to hang Justin’s art work. He got out his sketch pad and worked on some ideas for the painting.
While he was drawing Justin’s cell phone rang. It was Sidney Bloom asking if Justin would come to the gallery the next day. Since it was just a little over two weeks until the grand opening Sidney wanted to have a meeting to be sure they were prepared.
Justin agreed that was a good idea. He told Sidney he had half a dozen paintings that could be included in the opening art show. Justin said he would bring the paintings with him the next day.
Justin thought about the conversation he and Brian had last night. He needed to have a follow up conversation with Brian when he was not in a post coital haze. Justin needed to be sure that Brian was truly on board with having a baby before they moved forward.
When he went down to the kitchen for lunch, John and Peter were eating their lunch at the kitchen table.
Justin grabbed some stuff out of the refrigerator to make himself a sandwich. Alice offered to make his sandwich but Justin just looked at her and shook his head. John and Peter had guilty looks on their faces so Justin knew they had let Alice make their lunches which made him chuckle.
“You guys should not play poker for money until you can manage better poker faces.”
When Justin sat down with his sandwich and glass of iced tea John looked over at him.
“Patrick and I were talking and we need to get together and do some soccer drills so we are ready for soccer team tryouts. Can he come over here this weekend or can you take me to his house?”
Justin chewed for a few minutes and considered his options. “Since Gus will be here this weekend I’ll call Mrs O’Brien and see if she can drop Patrick and Kevin over here after lunch and we’ll take them home after dinner.”
“That would be great; thanks.”
After putting their lunch dishes in the dishwasher the nephews disappeared. Justin called Roxanne on his cell and arranged for the Saturday get together for the boys.
Alice spoke up once the arrangements were made. “I’ll make some gluten free cookies for Kevin and I have a few of his rolls frozen so I’ll get those thawed tomorrow.”
“Thanks Alice. Also thanks for last night. Brian and I had a great evening to ourselves. Hope you guys enjoyed yourself.”
Alice smiled. “It all went really well. You and Brian need to be sure you take time for yourselves. It is easy to forget to do that.”
Justin smiled. “Yes ma’am.”
He pretended not to see the annoyed look on Alice’s face as he placed his dishes in the dishwasher and went back up to the studio. Justin called Roxanne and made arrangement for Patrick and Kevin to spend Saturday afternoon at the house.
John decided he would make dinner for the family tonight using one of the recipes from his cooking classes. Alice over saw the preparations but John really didn’t need any help. Brian called to say he would be home around 6:30 and when he walked in the door John was just putting the finishing touches on his Beef Wellington with roasted fingerling potatoes and cauliflower.
Once Brian changed into his at home clothes, the four of them sat down to dinner. Brian and Justin each cut their meat and somewhat warily put it in their mouths. As they chewed they turned to look at each other.
With a huge smile on his face Justin looked across the table at his nephew. “John this is really delicious.”
Brian also looked at John. “Kiddo you made this all yourself? No help from Alice?”
John had an ear to ear smile on his face. “I did it all myself. Alice answered a couple questions I had but I made the whole dinner.”
Both his uncles told him again how great the dinner was. He shrugged off their compliments but they could tell how pleased he was. His life had not given him many opportunities to feel proud.
Since John had done the cooking Justin said that he and Peter would do clean up. Brian announced that after such an extravagant meal he was going to spend some time in the home gym. Justin did manage to whisper in Brian’s ear to remember he had a hard workout the night before. John and Peter didn’t know what Justin said but Brian’s evil laugh let them know they were probably happier not hearing the comment.
After the kitchen was cleaned up Justin got John and Peter to help him move the paintings he wanted to take to the Bloom Gallery from the studio to his SUV. Brian spent an hour exercising before showering. When he came back into the kitchen; Justin, John and Peter were sitting at the counter drinking big glasses of milk while eating some of Alice’s homemade cookies.
Brian stared at them horrified. “Really I spent an hour working off calories and you guys have been sitting here scarfing down cookies.”
Justin shrugged. “Well we haven’t been eating them for the entire hour.”
John and Peter laughed as Brian stood there shaking his head. “One of these days Sunshine all those fat cells lying dormant in your body are going to explode and you’ll weigh 400 pounds!”
Justin just shrugged again and shoved another cookie into his mouth. Brian turned and walked out of the kitchen leaving behind his laughing nephews and unconcerned lover.
Justin got off his stool. “You guys make sure you clean the counter and put the glasses in the dishwasher.”
He walked down to the study, certain that was where Brian has stormed off to. Justin opened the door without knocking and walked in the room. Brian was concentrating on his computer screen.
Justin came over and leaned against the desk next to Brian. “So will you still love me as much when I weigh 400 pounds?”
Justin say the corner of Brian’s mouth twitch but his eyes never left the computer screen. “I’m not so sure I love you too much right now.”
“Brian you know you so adore me!”
That forced a chuckle from Brian who grabbed Justin and pulled him down onto his lap. “Justin Taylor you are too sure of yourself!”
Justin turned his head to give Brian a quick kiss. “No Brian Kinney! I am sure of you.”
Brian still had a smile on his face but shook his head as he looked at the blonde on his lap. “You know you won’t be this cute when you weigh 400 pounds.”
Justin smiled. “But you will still adore me.”
Brian chuckled and pulled Justin face down for a long, hard kiss. Justin pulled away after a couple minutes to catch his breath.
“See I knew you so adored me.”
Brian pushed Justin off his lap. “I still have some emails to answer. Run and play little boy.”
A laughing Justin walked back out to the hall. John and Peter were in the media room playing a video game. He challenged the winner. When Brian was finished with his emails he came to the media room door just as John won against Justin.
“Bedtime Sunshine. You have a busy day tomorrow so you need a good night’s sleep.”
“Yes sir; oh lord and master.”
John and Peter were laughing again at the uncles interactions as Justin got up and ran out of the room and up the stairs with Brian in quick pursuit. Once they were in their bedroom Brian grabbed a laughing Justin and threw him onto the bed. After he locked the door he joined his partner on the bed and made short work of Justin’s clothes as well as his own.
Half an hour later the two sated men lay in each other’s arms laughing softly and talking before they drifted off to sleep.
The next morning Brian got up at his normal time and was surprised while taking a shower when Justin joined him. A blow job later a very happy Brian got dressed and went downstairs for a quick breakfast. Justin went back to bed.
Later in the morning Melanie dropped JR at school before driving to Kinnetik with Gus. She parked and took Gus into the building. When they got in the lobby Melanie headed towards the receptionist but Gus had a different plan.
“Follow me Mama. I know the way to Daddy’s office.”
Gus gave the receptionist a wave as they walked towards the stairs. She called out “Hello Gus.”
Gus stopped at Carole’s desk. “Hi Miss Carole. I’m here to see my Daddy. This is my Mama.”
Carole gave him a big smile. “Hello Gus. Hi Melanie. Brian told me you would be dropping Gus off. Go ahead in the office he’s expecting you.”
Gus led the way and pulled open the office door before running over to Brian’s desk where he got scooped up by his Daddy for a hug and kiss.
“Hi Melanie. Thanks for dropping off Sonny Boy. Jennifer should be here in about an hour or so to pick him up for Bowling and school supply shopping.”
Melanie nodded. “Thank Jennifer for us. Gus you be a good boy for Grandmom Jen. We’ll see you after school on Monday.”
With a wave goodbye Melanie left for the law office.
Brian showed Gus his new San Francisco coloring book on the conference table in his office. An excited Gus went work to work coloring while Brian went back to work at his desk.
