"Little Mikey doesn't want Brian to see me anymore." Justin said angrily. "And now Brian wants to keep whatever the hell is going on with us a secret."
"He told you that?"
"No. Michael came over. Brian wouldn't let him in and he lied. He said he had homework and that Daphne had her boyfriend over." Justin fumed. He was pacing the room. "Michael told him that he should go out and pick up someone so he could forget about me!"
"What did he say to that?" Anthony dropped the pair of shoes he had been carrying and led Justin over to the couch.
"He said ‘Not tonight'." Justin hissed. He had gotten himself more and more worked up during the walk back to his apartment and he was sure that he would never speak to Brian again.
"Okay." Anthony paused. "I can understand why you're angry. If I was in your position, a place I never plan on being mind you, I'd be mad too. However..."
"You're going to defend him!" Justin raged.
"Calm down, Hulk." Anthony chuckled. "Listen, turn this around, if I had asked you, or if I know Michael at all he probably demanded, so if I demanded you not see him, what would you do?"
"You'd never do that!" Justin protested.
"But if I did. Would you tell me where to stick it? Or would you wait until I was over it to tell me that I had no right to tell you who you could and couldn't be with?" Anthony knew that what he was saying would turn Justin's anger around.
"Dammit!" Justin groaned. "So I acted like an ass..."
"Not necessarily." Anthony countered. "He didn't tell you that he wanted to keep it a secret from Michael, which would have been the decent thing."
"How the hell do you know so much stuff about relationships? You've never touched a relationship!" Justin hated that Anthony was being the calm, knowing one in the situation.
"Guess I'm just enlightened." Anthony teased. When Justin smacked him in the arm, he chuckled. "I can look at this from the outside, stupid. You're pissed because shit's not perfect with Brian like it was with Jonny at first, and even with Chris in a fucked up way. Well, news flash, the ones that started perfect didn't work!"
"Why aren't you telling me to go out and trick like all the rest of the homosexuals in the world?" Justin asked. He had been waiting for Anthony to tell him to do that, ‘go out and find someone to fuck' was his answer for every problem.
"Honey, I know you too well. You're not like that. You have all that romantic shit that you learned in suburbia ingrained in you, and you haven't been jaded enough for fucking to be the answer yet." Anthony said with a shrug. "Besides, I can tell that Kinney likes you."
"How can you tell?" Justin looked vulnerable.
"Kinney is a lot like me. And the only way I would act like he acts with you is if I actually wanted more than a guy's tight ass and hard cock." Anthony grinned.
"I'm glad we're friends." Justin smiled and leaned against Anthony, who put an arm around him and pulled him close. "Still don't get why we never fucked though."
"Come on, J." Anthony pulled him closer. "If you ever wanted to, it wouldn't have been difficult to make me give in... however, that would send our friendship right into the shitter."
"I know." Justin smiled. "I think this is why you don't need a relationship. You get all the sex you want, and then you have me to come home to."
"You're probably right." Anthony said with a chuckle, but only half joking.
"You go out, I'm gonna go to bed." Justin pressed a quick kiss to Anthony's lips before disappearing into the bedroom.
"Night." Anthony said quietly before standing and retrieving his forgotten shoes.

"Well, don't you look miserable this morning." Daphne observed when Brian came out of his room the next morning. "At least I know you took my advice."
"Not so much." Brian grumbled, pouring himself so coffee. "We were well on our way to fucking and then Michael showed up."
"Did he throw a fit?" Daphne asked, amused.
"I didn't let him come in. I made excuses. Justin got pissed that I wanted to keep shit a secret." Brian took a big gulp of his coffee after shoving his hand through his hair.
"And...?"
"And what? He stormed out."
"And why didn't you tell him that you would inform your so-called best friend that he could either deal with it or fuck off?" Daphne couldn't believe Brian was letting Michael rule his life.
"He's my best friend, Daph."
"Yah, and he's being a jealous asshole." Daphne was happy that she finally got to say it. She had been wanting to tell Brian what she thought of Michael for a long time.
"Daph!"
"Listen to me, Brian." Daphne gestured to the chair across from her at the table. When he sat down and looked at her, she began speaking again. "Michael will get over it, he's a big boy and he has too much invested in your friendship to give it up because you don't obey his every demand. Justin, on the other hand, doesn't have ten years invested in you."
"So you're saying that I should tell Mikey to go fuck himself?"
"Exactly. I think it's time little Mikey heard it." Daphne wasn't sure if she'd gone too far, but at that point she wasn't really sure if she cared. Brian needed someone to tell him that Michael wasn't much of a friend.
"I don't want him to hate me, Daph. I don't intend to listen to him, I just want to keep it a secret for a while. I want to wait until Michael gets over the whole Anthony thing." Brian was conflicted.
"I'm just warning you that if you do this you may lose Justin entirely." Daphne sighed. "Some people just aren't okay with keeping their relationships a secret. Justin, apparently, is one of those people."
Brian pondered what Daphne was saying and thought back to what Justin told him about his first boyfriend. Justin's exact words echoed in his head "It was never really my idea to keep it a secret anyways. I wanted to tell my parents as soon as I hooked up with my first boyfriend."
"You're right. He's not the type to keep it a secret." Brian let out a sigh. "Looks like Mikey is going to be mighty pissed off with me."
"For a while. He'll get over it." Daphne reassured her roommate.
~knock, knock~
"I'll get it." Daphne chimed, walking over to the door. She hoped that it wasn't Michael, she definitely didn't want to be around for that particular scene.
"Hey, Daphne." Justin said with a smile as soon as she opened the door. "Is Brian here?"
"Yah. Come on it." Daphne smiled. It looked like things were going to be okay between her friend and the little art student. She secretly hoped that Michael still got his though. "Bri! You have company."
"Hey." Brian said quietly when he saw Justin standing there. He calmed a little when he saw that Justin was smiling.
"Hey." Justin replied. "Can we talk?"
"Yah, of course." Brian nodded. Daphne took her cue and decided that she should give them some time alone.
"I have to go study." She said as she grabbed her backpack. "Don't do anything naughty." She kissed Brian's cheek and left the apartment.
"Uhm, do you want to come sit?" Brian asked. He wasn't sure what the conversation was going to be like, so he didn't know how to approach. Justin nodded and made his way over to the couch. "Can I get you anything?"
"Let's just talk, alright?"
"Yah, sure." Brian sat down next to him and looked him in the eye. He waited for Justin to speak first, long moments passed before Justin opened his mouth.
"I was so pissed at you last night." He chuckled. "I was fuming all the way home. I couldn't believe that after how well things were going, you'd want to keep it a secret."
"Justin..." Brian began to explain, but Justin cut him off.
"Let me finish. I went home and talked to Ant. He basically told me that I was being selfish and stupid. I realized that he was right. I shouldn't have overreacted like that. You were only trying to keep us going on without hurting Michael's feelings."
"I'll tell him to forget it." Brian said. "It's not as important as you and me."
"You don't have to." Justin said firmly. "We can keep it a secret until Michael gets over all the shit with Ant."
"How about this? I don't want to keep it a secret either. So how about we keep it a secret for two weeks, tops? If he's not over it in two weeks, he'll just have to deal with it." Brian suggested. When he thought of the idea, he thought it would prove something to Justin, but after saying the words he realized that he really didn't want to keep things a secret.
"I like that plan." Justin reached over and pressed a kiss to Brian's lips. "Could be fun to sneak around like we're doing something really naughty." Brian laughed and returned Justin's kiss, but stopped before they got too into it because he thought he should try harder to take Daphne's advice.
"Are you hungry?" He asked Justin, trying to sound casual.
"No." Justin shook his head. "Can I ask you something?"
"Sure." Brian replied, nodding.
"Why haven't we had sex since that night after Woody's?" He asked, catching Brian off guard. He wasn't sure whether to tell the truth, it was kind of embarrassing. "Uhm, do you not want to?" The vulnerability in Justin's voice made up Brian's mind.
"No, I definitely want to. I've been holding back." He took a deep breath. "Daph said that if I wanted this to be something serious I should wait."
"So you want this to be something serious?" Justin asked, grinning.
"Twat." Brian pinched his tummy. "What if I do?"
"I think you should take me to bed immediately." Justin said in way of an answer. He crawled onto Brian's lap and straddled him. "Please." He asked, trying to look as cute as possible.
"Are you sure? This won't ruin things?" Brian had more self control than ever and knew that if the blond said yes, his restraint would break and he'd have the other guy naked in a flash.
"I'm sure." Justin smiled softly before leaning down to capture Brian's mouth in a heart stopping kiss. Brian's hands found Justin's hips and he lifted him off the couch, never breaking the kiss. Justin wrapped his legs around Brian's waist as he was carried to the bedroom.
Brian broke the kiss for a moment as he lowered Justin to the bed. Before joining him there, he pulled his t-shirt over his head. Justin smiled and reached up to run his hand down Brian's chest, slowly exploring every inch until he reached the waist band of Brian's jeans. He quickly unbuttoned them and slid them down over his hips.
"You're so beautiful." He whispered before placing a kiss to Brian's stomach. "I've never seen a guy who is as beautiful as you." He moved his lips down over Brian's stomach until he reached the base of Brian's cock. Being just as gentle as he had been on his stomach, Justin pressed kisses down the length of Brian's shaft.
"Oh god." Brian breathed, closing his eyes. He tangled his fingers in Justin's hair as the boy moved his mouth teasingly over his cock.
"You like that?" Justin asked seductively before capturing the head of Brian's dick in his mouth and sucking gently. When Brian cried out, he knew had his answer.
Brian groaned as Justin pulled back. Pushing Justin farther onto the bed, Brian pulled the blond's shirt over his head and began caressing his chest. "God, you're so pale." He whispered leaning down to run his tongue along Justin's collar bone. "You have no idea how hard it's been for me to hold back from you."
"No need to hold back now." Justin assured him, pulling Brian's mouth to his own. They lost themselves in the kiss and continued exploring each other's bodies. Brian rolled onto his back and pulled Justin on top of him, reaching down to cup his ass.
"I need to feel you." He mumbled against Justin's lips. Justin stood and quickly removed the rest of his clothes, returning to the bed and to Brian as soon as he was naked. Brian pushed Justin down onto his back and climbed on top of him. Justin immediately slipped his legs around Brian's waist and pulled him down to kiss him.
"I want you inside me, Brian. We can take it slow later. Right now, I just need you inside me." Justin panted. Brian was happy to oblige.
Brian reached over and grabbed a tube of lube and prepared Justin quickly. Confident that he was ready, Brian positioned himself at Justin's entrance and pushed gently. Both young men moaned as they were joined.
"God! Brian!" Justin exclaimed.
As Brian started moving inside his lover slowly, Justin pushed back against him and they soon found the perfect rhythm. They moved together, growing more and more lost in each other. Brian grasped Justin's hips in one final deep thrust before exploding inside the younger man. Feeling Brian's climax, Justin let his own wash over him, covering his belly in his cum.
Both men, spent, collapsed onto the bed. Brian grabbed a towel and gently wiped Justin's stomach before pulling him near and closing his eyes. He was in heaven. Justin snuggled closer to him and sighed.
"Are you okay?" Brian asked, opening his eyes.
"That was amazing, Brian. I've never felt so alive." Justin smiled brightly. "How do you do this to me?"
"Must be meant." Brian smiled and pressed a kiss to the back of Justin's neck. "It was amazing for me too."
