Michael sat down and sighed.  He looked at Brian who was moping around the apartment and wanted to strangle him.

“Brian!”  Michael whined.  “Let’s go out.  Your birthday was two weeks ago.  Stop moping already.”

“I’m not moping.  I do not mope.”  Brian told him.   “I just don’t want to go out today.”

“Or yesterday or the day before that.” Michael pointed out. “Please let’s go to the diner at least. They have a new waiter. He is hot and we can go check him out together.”

Brian raised a brow.

“How hot?”

“I don’t know.  Ma, was the one that said he was hot.  Come on, go change and you can check him out.”  Michael said.

“Mikey, don’t you know is bad to listen to your parents when it comes to relationship or anything near it?”  Brian mocked.

“Please Brian.  Let’s go.”  Michael whined.

“Damn it!  Alright, just stop nagging, Mikey.”  Brian told him.

Michael smiled, happy that his friend was coming around.  Each year it was the same thing.  Brian would mope before and after his birthday.  If he only knew that he looked as beautiful as ever.

“Are you ready?”  Michael asked knocking on the open door and looking at his friend who was primping himself.

“Give me a second.”  Brian told him.

“You look fine.  Let’s go.  I’m hungry.”  Michael said.

Brian nodded and took his keys and wallet.  He followed Michael out of the apartment and tried to stop thinking about Justin.

“Oh my god.  Deb, look at that.”  Justin whispered and pointed at a guy who was just sitting down.

“Do not point.”  Debbie told him.

“He’s pregnant.”  Justin told her. “I’ve never seen a pregnant guy before.”

“Where have you been living?  A hole?”  Debbie asked laughing.

Justin shook his head and kept staring at the guy.

“I live in Straightville.” Justin told her and moved to finish cleaning the counter.

Debbie smiled at him and shook her head.  

“Do you have a boyfriend?”  Debbie asked.  “Because I have a son.”

Justin laughed and shook his head.  The bell to the diner rang and Brian and Michael came in.

“Michael, come here.”  Debbie shouted.  “There is someone I want you to meet.”

Michael kissed her on the cheek and smiled.

“Justin, this is my son Michael.  Michael, this is Sunshine.”  Debbie said smiling.

Brian was fuming.  Justin was his and there was no way in hell that Debbie was going to make Michael and Justin a couple.  Just then Brian wondered why he was thinking that way.  Justin was free to do whatever he wanted, but still it bothered Brian.

“Hey.”  Brian said and smirked at Justin.

“Hey.”  Justin said smiling.

“Do you guys know each other?”  Michael asked noticing the looks Brian and Justin gave each other.

Justin nodded.

“Can I talk to you?”  Brian asked.

“Can I take a break, Deb?  It will be just a second.”  Justin said.

Brian took Justin’s wrist and pulled him to the restroom.  He couldn’t believe that Justin was actually there.

“What are you doing?”  Justin asked.

“What are you doing here?”  Brian hissed.

“I work here.”  Justin told him.

“Since when?”

“Like a week.  After I came out of the clinic, I came here.”  Justin told him.

Brian nodded.

“Does it bother you that I’m here?”  Justin asked.

Brian didn’t answer.  He just bent down and pressed Justin’s lips to his.  His hands grabbed Justin’s hips and pulled him towards him.  He couldn’t resist grabbing Justin’s ass and give it a squeeze.

“Brian, fuck me.”

Brian pulled back and smiled.  He walked with Justin to the stall.

“No wait!  What the fuck am I doing?”  Justin asked.  “We can’t do this here.  They will know.”

“So?”

“I work here, Brian.”  Justin said giggling.  “What do you say I come see you tonight after work?” 

Brian shrugged.

“I might have plans.”  Brian told him.

“Well, I’ll come by and see if you are there.  If not, I’ll just go home.”  Justin told him.

Justin got on his toes and kissed Brian on the lips.  Then he smiled and left the bathroom.

“Sunshine!”

“Debbie?”  Justin asked as he took his pad.  “Is there something wrong?”

“How do you know Brian?”  Debbie asked him.

“He’s my friend.”  Justin told her and Brian passed by him with a smile.

“I see.”  Debbie told her.  “So what are you doing tonight?  My son is going to a club.  Do you want to go with him?”

“I can’t, Deb.  I have a previous engagement.”  Justin told her.

“Oh okay.  Maybe some other time then.”  Debbie said.

Justin nodded and left to attend Michael and Brian.

“So what do you guys want?”  Justin asked.

“I’ll have my usual.”  Brian told him.

“I don’t know what your usual is Brian.”  Justin told him.

“Something with protein in it.”  Brian told him.

“Brian!”  Michael screamed.

Justin laughed.

“You can get on the table and I’ll just…”

“He’ll have a turkey sandwich, on wheat, no mayo.”  Michael intervened. 

Justin laughed and wrote it down.

“What about you, Michael?”  Justin asked.

“I’ll have a cheeseburger with fries and a coke.”  Michael told him.

“A man after my own heart.”  Justin told him.

Michael smiled and Brian frowned.

“It will be ready pretty soon.”  Justin said and left.

“He is so fucking hot.”  Michael said.

“Yeah, well, he has a boyfriend.”  Brian said.

“He does?  Oh.”  Michael said.  “How do you know?”

Brian shrugged.

“I just do.”  Brian told him.  “So what are you doing tonight?”

Michael forgot completely about Justin and started talking to Brian.

***

Brian looked at his watch and frowned.  He would have sworn that it was ten fifty an hour ago.  He grabbed Emmett’s hand and checked his watch.

“What are you doing?”  Emmett asked.

“Just checking what time is it.”

“Don’t you have a watch?”  Emmett asked him.

Brian nodded.

“Okay.”  Emmett said and mouthed the word ‘weirdo’ to Michael.

“So do you guys want to go to Babylon?”  Michael asked.

“Oh yes.”  Emmett told him.

“You guys go.  I have to be someplace.”  Brian told them.

“But weren’t you going to bring us back?”  Emmett asked.

“Tell Ted to pick you up.”  Brian said and he took a sip of his beer before he put it down.

“Brian, come with us.”  Michael told him.

“I can’t.”  Brian said and walked away from his friends.

He wanted to see Justin.  He couldn’t understand what was so special about the blond.  He was supposed to be following certain rules but already he hadn’t been able to keep them.  He didn’t want a relationship but that’s exactly where he was headed if he kept seeing Justin. He shook his head and watched as a guy got in front of him and smiled seductively.  He could still be the hot stud he wanted to be.  


***

Justin was saying goodbye to Kelvin when he smelled himself.  He reeked of fries and burgers. He shook his head and decided that maybe he should go home since Brian wasn’t probably going to be there anyways.  When Justin got outside and looked up he almost screamed with happiness.  Brian was waiting outside on his jeep.

“Hey.”  Justin said smirking.

“Hi.”  

“I thought you had plans.”  Justin said opening the door.

Brian smirked.

“Things change.” 

Justin nodded and closed the door.  He turned on the radio and started to search for stations.

“Could you not do that?”

“Why?”  Justin asked not looking at Brian’s expression.

Brian rolled his eyes.

“It bothers me.”

“Fine.”  Justin said turning it off.

“I didn’t tell you to turn it off.  Just don’t play with the buttons.”  Brian said.

“It’s already off.”  

Brian looked at Justin and throwing him out of the jeep crossed his mind.

“It’s still moving.”  Justin told him indignantly as he saw the look Brian was giving him.

“What?”  Brian asked startled.

“You think I’m annoying.”  Justin said.

“I didn’t say that.”  Brian told him.

“But you thought it.”  Justin said.

Brian gripped the steering wheel.  He couldn’t believe he had walked away from the trick at Babylon to be with Justin.  He was convinced that Justin was nuts.  Justin smiled and then put his hand on Brian’s thigh.

“Stop fighting and drive.  I want you to fuck me.”

Brian looked at the blonde and nodded.  He thought it was bearable to be with the foolish kid after all.
