Sitting on the floor of his apartment, Justin looked through the few pictures that he had of himself and Brian. For a week he had been looking for something, some clue that when Brian said “make love to you” he meant it. Those words meant so much to him, and even though he knew that Brian didn’t lie, he felt like he needed proof.

Suddenly, the phone rang, rousing him from his thoughts. “Hello?” He answered.

“Hey, Princess.” Emmett’s familiar voice brought a smile to Justin’s face.

“Hey, Em.” Justin replied. There was something about Emmett, something in his demeanor that pulled Justin from any bad mood.

“Whatcha doin?” Emmett asked cutely.

“Just working on some stuff.” Justin replied, glancing down at the small pile of pictures, cursing himself for being pathetic.

“Well, get dressed. I’m taking you dancing tonight.” Justin could hear the smile in Emmett’s voice.

“Where are we going?” Justin chuckled.

“Where else, honey? Babylon!” Emmett exclaimed. “I’m picking you up in twenty minutes!”

Before Justin could protest, Emmett hung up. Justin took one last look at the pictures and decided that it might be a good plan for him to get out and go to Babylon; he hadn’t been there since leaving Brian.

“Oh my god! What am I going to wear?” Justin hurried into his small bedroom and began pulling clothes out of the closet. Since leaving Brian, he had stopped dressing to look sexy and he knew that he needed to if he was going to Babylon.

When Emmett arrived, Justin had just finished perfecting the messy look in his hair. “Well, well, well, doesn’t our little Princess look beautiful tonight.” Emmett leaned over and kissed Justin on the cheek. “Come on, honey, let’s go drive those boys at Babylon crazy.”

“What do you want, Mikey?” Brian asked, looking around the club for someone that he hadn’t had.

“I just talked to Emmett.” Michael looked panicked. “He’s on his way here.”

“Alert the media.” Brian replied dryly.

“With Justin.” Michael finished. He saw the change in Brian’s face, the tightness that appeared only for a moment, and he felt a stab of jealousy.

“Why is he bringing him here?” Brian asked sharply.

“I dunno.” Michael shrugged. “Wanna get a drink?”

“Mikey.” Brian ground out. “Can you please fuck off so I can find someone to fuck tonight?” Michael slunk away leaving Brian standing at the railing pretending to look for a trick, but in reality was watching for Justin.

Justin looked down at what he was wearing having talked himself into thinking that the snug jeans and tight black tank shirt looked awful. I look like I’m trying to be Brian, he thought to himself.

“Come on, honey. You look fabulous and there’s a whole club full of guys who can’t wait to get a look at you.” Emmett threw an arm around Justin and led him into the club.

“Hey, Justin.” Benny, the bouncer, said at the door. “Haven’t seen you here in a while.”

“Hey, Benny.” Justin slapped the bouncer on the back and followed Emmett inside. It seemed like as soon as he was inside, he and Brian locked stares. “Oh shit…”

“You alright?” Emmett asked, seeing Justin frozen in place. He followed the younger man’s line of sight and saw Brian standing at the railing. “Let’s get you a drink.”

“He’s gunna trick in front of me…” Justin thought to himself. “And there’s nothing I can do to stop the hurt.”

Later, as Justin swayed and moved to the music, he felt a touch on his lower back. As he turned to shrug off whoever it was, he saw Brian. “Bri…”

“Shh…. Don’t talk.” Brian pulled him close, inhaling his scent. “I wanna dance with you.”

And they moved together, their bodies in sync. They touched each other and pressed their bodies together. Hundreds of eyes looked at them, watched their passionate dance. Ever since the break up, the regular patrons of the club had missed watching the sexy couple seduce each other on the dance floor.

“What is he doing?” Michael asked as he, Emmett, and Ted watched Brian and Justin dancing, just like everyone else.

“Brian?”

“Yeah. I thought Justin was out of his life.” Michael looked a little bit pouty.

“What’s with the attitude? We all know that they still love each other.” Emmett said matter-of-factly.

“Justin cheated on him and then left him.” Michael, as always, was standing on Brian’s side and there was nothing anyone could say to change his mind.

“They’ll always come back to each other.” Emmett sighed as he watched Brian and Justin. Their hands were all over each other. Justin had his head thrown back as Brian ran his tongue all over the younger man’s neck.

“They’re going to fuck right there.” Ted predicted with a grin. He had always wanted to see Brian and Justin fucking, he knew it would be hotter than any porn he had ever seen.

“Do you really think they will?” Michael asked.

*****

“Let’s get out of here…” Brian whispered against Justin’s ear. He then ran his tongue over his lover’s ear. “I want to fuck you.”

“Bri….” Justin pulled away a little. “I can’t…” With that, he hurried off the dance floor and out of the club. Brian watched him exit before hurrying to follow him. When he got outside, he saw Justin resting his head against the brick wall of the building.

“Justin.” He said quietly, regretfully. Justin turned and looked at the beautiful man in front of him. His cheeks were stained with tears and his eyes were red.

“Please, don’t.” Justin said breathlessly. “I have to go.” As soon as the words were out of his mouth, the young man turned and hurried away hoping that Brian would not follow this time.

The next day at Chez Emmett…


“Hey, Princess?” Emmett said as he placed a cup of coffee in front of his friend. “Why’d you run away last night? Did you and Brian make up?”

“He never came back?” Justin asked, suddenly looking into Emmett’s eyes.

“No.” Emmett said. “Everyone there thought that Babylon had it’s Prince and Princess back.”

“I couldn’t do it, Em.” Justin nearly started crying. “I just couldn’t let my dick lead me right back to Brian.”

“What about your heart?” Emmett asked. Justin said nothing, just looked at his hands and started to cry.
