Debbie came down the stairs and watched as Vic went after the girls who were running all around the living room.  Vic looked up at Debbie and smiled.

“You have to come here, Deb.  I’m too old for this.”  Vic told her and sat down.

Debbie smiled and walked over to him.  “You've been playing with them the whole day, Vic.”  She smiled at him happy that he seemed so content playing with the girls.

“They don’t get tired.”  Vic told her.  “When are they going to bring the boys?  I want to see them.”

“I don’t know.”  Debbie told him.

“They are turning out to be so beautiful.”  Vic said smiling as he watched Victoria.

Debbie smiled and nodded.

“I’m so happy that I could meet them.”  Vic told her.

Debbie’s smile wavered a bit.

“I think I am going to lie down for a while.”  Vic announced.

“Are you okay?”  Debbie asked worried.

“Just a little tired.”  Vic said.

Debbie nodded and watched him go.  She knew that Vic had been tired a lot lately.  She closed her eyes and prayed that her bother was okay.

“Why am I here?”  Justin asked.  “Brian and I are okay.  Better than ever.”  He smiled thinking about his relationship with Brian.  Things were better than ever and he was happy.  They were going to be just fine.

“You are here for moral support.”  Chris told him.

“Okay.”  Justin said as he looked around the place.

“Hello.”  A guy with a weird hairdo said to them.  “I’m Pierce.”

“O…kay.”  Justin said.  “Nice to meet you.”

“How can I help you?”  Pierce asked smiling.

Chris stayed silent, staring at Pierce’s hairdo.  

“He wants a haircut.”  Justin told the man when Chris didn’t answer.  “Something that would make him hotter that he is.”

Chris smiled at Justin and pushed him slightly.  He was glad that he had Justin with him when he was feeling down.  The blond always managed to cheer him up.

“What about you?”  Pierce asked Justin.

“No.  You don’t want his partner coming to hunt you down.”  Chris said.

Justin smiled knowing that it was true.  Brian loved his hair long.  He liked having it long too for when the brunet tangled his fingers in it while they fuck.  It was so hot.  “Just a couple of centimeters.”  Justin suggested.  

Pierce nodded. “Follow me.”  Pierce told them.

“Are we having fun yet?”  Justin asked.

“I’m on a mission, Justin.”  Chris told him.  “I’m going to get my man back.”

Justin was tempted to ask when had he lost Michael but just kept quiet.  “I guess you are.”  Justin told him and shook his head.  Justin was having fun watching Chris.  He thought that his friend was crazy if he needed help to get Michael.  Everyone knew that Michael was crazy for him.

“Next we are going shopping.”  Chris told him.

“Okay.”  Justin agreed.  He looked at his watch.  Brian was at the house waiting for him.  He had to take the kids to Debbie’s house to see Vic.  “I do need some new clothes.” 

Chris smiled.  “Do you think Mike would notice me then?”  Chris asked.

“He notices you now.”  Justin pointed out.  “You are acting so weird.  Did you know that?”

“I know he does.  Everything is okay.  Even sex is great but not like before.”  Chris told him.

“Before what?”  Justin asked.

“Before the accident.  I mean, when I had the casts we would have sex and he was really careful.  But now I’m much better and I want him to stop treating me like I am going to break.  I want him to go wild when he sees me.  I want to be his everything and I want for Ben to go the fuck away.”

“Okay.” Justin told him.  “We can get you something really sexy.  Then dance with someone else in front of him and that will get him going.  It’s going to be a night to remember.”  Justin didn’t know how truthful his words were going to be.

Emmett and Ted came into the diner and sat down across from Michael and Brian.  Good afternoon.”  Emmett whispered.

“Morning.”  Michael said.

Michael looked at them weird but kept on eating his lunch.

“What’s with the two of you?”  Brian asked and took a sip of his coffee.

“Not much.”  Ted told them.

“No, there is something going on.”  Michael said.  “You guys are hiding something.”

“Oh, Ted.”  Emmett said.  “Just tell them.”

Ted looked at Emmett and frowned.

“What is with the dramatics?”  Brian asked smirking.

“Okay.”  Ted said and cleared his throat.

“We are together.”  Emmett said quickly before Ted could talk.

Ted looked at Emmett with wide eyes.  Then he looked at his friends and nodded.

“As in, sitting here right now?”  Michael asked.

“As in, we fucked last night.”  Ted said.

Brian started coughing as soon as he heard that.  He swallowed the piece of bagel he had been eating and shook his head.  He cleared his throat and then grabbed his coffee, taking a sip from it.  Michael just stared blankly.  He wasn’t sure he had heard right.  

“Could you stop staring at us like we are from another planet?”  Ted asked.

“Fuck.”  Brian was sure he was never going to see something stranger in his life.  It was plain crazy and he wasn’t going to think about it. 

“You are serious.”  Michael said.

“Don’t tell me.”  Brian looked from Ted to Emmett and smiled.  “You settled for each other, not being able to find anything better.”

“Shut up, Brian.”  Michael told him.

Brian rolled his eyes.  He looked at Ted and Emmett and frowned.  He knew it wouldn’t last and they were going to end up hurting each other.  Friends didn’t fuck friends, plain and simple.  

“How did it happen?”  Michael licked his lips.  He couldn’t picture Ted and Emmett together.  He hadn’t been expecting it.

“It just did.”  Emmett told him smiling from ear to ear.

“It was amazing.”  Ted told Michael.  “Fucking heaven.”

Emmett smiled widely.  Michael broke into a smile, happy for his friends.

“Could we not talk about this anymore?”  Brian grabbed his cup and showed it to Karen to let her know that he wanted a refill.  “My ears are going to start bleeding.”

“Hey.”  Lindsay said coming in with Abe.

“Hi.”  Michael told her.

“Da!”  Abe said running up to Ted.

Ted picked him up and kissed him.  Emmett and Ted informed her that they were together.  She congratulated them.  Brian kept complaining about the whole thing.

“Just be happy for them.”  Lindsay told Brian.

Brian rolled his eyes and took one last sip from his cup of coffee.  “I’m going to go.”  Brian said getting up.  He put his money on the table and then kissed Michael goodbye.  He kissed Lindsay and said goodbye to the guys.

“Where are you going?”  Michael asked as he followed Brian to the door.  “You practically just got here.”

“But Justin is all alone with the kids.”  Brian said.

“At the house?”  Michael asked frowning.

Brian shook his head.  “He is at your mother’s house.”  Brian explained.  “She said she and Vic wanted to see the kids.”

Michael nodded.

“We’ll catch up later.”  Brian told him.

“Sure.”  Michael saw Ben coming into the diner and smiled at the man.  

Brian turned around to look at him and rolled his eyes.  He sometimes wondered if Mikey was fucking Ben.  He looked at his friend and shook his head.  His friend was just so good to everyone but his heart belonged to someone; a blond.

“Hey.”  Ben smiled at Brian who just left.  “Michael.”

“Ben, what are you doing here?”  Michael asked.

“People eat here, Michael.” Ben told him smiling.

“Right.”  Michael said.  “It’s just that you don’t come here often and never so early.  Never mind me, come on.”  He walked to the booth and introduced Ben to Lindsay.  

Lindsay’s order came up and she gathered her things.  “Well, I have to go.”  Lindsay said getting up.  “Say bye, bye to Daddy.”

Abe giggled and hugged Ted’s leg.

“Bye, Daddy.”  Abe told him.

Lindsay picked the boy up and left with him.

“That kid is wonderful.”  Ben said.

“Yeah.”  Michael agreed.

“Thanks.”  Ted told him.

“So.”  Emmett said looking from Ben to Michael.  “How exactly did you two meet?”

“I went to buy some comics at his store.”  Ben said smiling at Michael.

Emmett looked from Ben to Michael and knew something was up.  “Do you have boyfriend?”  Emmett asked.

“Why do you care?”  Ted asked and saw the look that Emmett was giving him.  The taller man was trying to tell him something without saying the words.

Michael rolled his eyes.   He frowned and looked at Emmett, wondering why he wanted to know about Ben’s life all of the sudden.

“No, I don’t.”  Ben told him.  “I have someone in mind, though.”

“I see.”  Ted said as he watched Ben looking at Michael.  

Michael was staring at his plate and didn’t see the look.  Emmett and Ted looked at each other.  They each knew what the other was thinking; the professor was after Michael and the shorter man was clueless.

“So, are we going to Babylon tonight?”  Emmett asked changing the subject.

***

Michael finished washing his hands and smiled at Ben.  Ben took a step forward and Michael frowned.

“Ben?”  Michael asked not sure what the man was doing.

Ben pulled him in by the waist and kissed him hard.  Michael kissed him back but then stopped and pushed him away.

“I can’t.”  Michael told him.

“Why not?”  Ben asked.

“I already have someone special in my life.  I’m sorry.” Michael moved away.  He took a few short breaths to try and relax.  He couldn’t believe that Ben had kissed him.  

“He wouldn’t have to know.”  Ben pointed out.  “Or you could leave him.  We could be so happy, Michael.  We get along so well.”  He wanted Michael with him.  “We are meant for each other.”

Michael smiled and nodded, acknowledging that what Ben was saying was partly true. They were great friends and got along amazingly well and maybe if he didn't already have Chris they could have shared something.  But there was no doubt in Michael’s brain that he and Chris were the ones meant to be. 

“I would know.”  Michael told him.  “And I would never cheat on him.  Not him.”

Ben frowned.

“You are a wonderful man, Ben.”  Michael told him.  “But I am in love with someone else.  I know we get along great but we are just friends.  Let’s just go back, okay?”  He didn’t wait for an answer.  He exited the restroom and walked to the bar where Ted, Emmett and Brian were.  He ordered a beer and hoped Ben would keep a distance because he liked him but just as a friend.

“Hey.”  Emmett said looking at Ben.  “It’s the hunky professor.”

Ben smirked and ordered a drink.  “Do you want to dance, Michael?”

“Nah.  I’m okay.”  Michael moved away from Ben and stood next to Brian.

Brian looked at Michael with a raised brow but didn’t say anything.  By the look on his friend’s face, he knew that something was bothering him.  He ordered a drink and made a mental note to ask Michael about it later.  Then he saw Ted and Emmett kissing.  He frowned and turned his back on them.

“I love you.”  Emmett whispered to Ted.

Ted smiled and muttered in Emmett’s ear.  He looked at the dance floor and saw Justin and Chris.  He smirked and shook his head as he look at the two blonds.  “It’s twelve thirty.”  Ted said as he looked at his watch.  “Do you know where your blond twink is?”

Emmett frowned as he looked at his lover.  Ted smirked and nodded towards the dance floor.  Emmett looked and smiled at what he saw.

“Hot blonds in sight.”  Emmett said and smirked as he looked at Justin and Chris.

“Holy shit.”  Ted gasped. “They look fucking hot.”

Brian turned to see what the fuck they were talking about.  His eyes opened wide when he saw HIS blond dancing, with barely any clothes on.

“Do you guys know them?”  Ben asked.

“That’s Justin and Chris.”  Emmett said.

“Oh, yeah. Who is Chris?”  Ben asked knowing who Justin was but not the other guy.

“Who the fuck is that guy touching Chris?”  Michael asked angrily.  He turned his head to the side to look at Brian but the brunet was already making his way to the dance floor.  He didn’t waste any time and went to get his partner too.

“What are you doing?”  Brian asked Justin as he pulled the blond to him.

The guy that had been dancing with Justin frowned.  He wasn’t going to let anyone take the hot blond away from him.  Justin just smiled at Brian widely.

“Dancing?”  Justin told him.

“Where are your clothes?”  Brian asked.

Justin arched a brow as he look at the tight, black leather pants with the blue see-through shirt and smirked.  “I’m dressed, Brian.”

“Barely.”  Brian told him.  “You are never wearing these pants in front of anyone ever again and I am so burning that shirt.”

Justin just thought that Brian was cute.

“Hey, are we dancing or what?”  The guy asked Justin.

Brian pulled Justin into his arms and glared at the guy.  He looked at Justin’s leather pants and see-through shirt and glared at them like they were the enemy.

“I don’t care.”  Michael said to Chris.  They had been arguing as well.  “We are going home now.”

“I’m having fun.”  Chris pointed out.

“Yeah.  We're having fun.”  The guy behind Chris told him.  “Fuck off.”

“You take your hands away from my partner!”  Michael hissed and pulled Chris to his side.  

The guy moved forth and pushed Michael.  Michael glared at him and then pushed back.

“What are you doing here in this?”  Brian asked unaware that Michael had started to fight with the guy that had been dancing with Chris.

“Chris made me do it.”  Justin said giggling.

“Hey.”  The tall guy hissed as he looked at Brian and Justin.  “Get lost.”  He had been dancing with the blond and he wanted more.

“Fuck off.”  Brian told him and then all hell broke lose.

“Here's more ice.”  Debbie said handing it to Chris.

“Are you okay?”  Chris asked as he kissed Michael on the cheek and then put some ice on it.  

“No.”  Michael told him.  

“Don’t worry, Mikey.”  Brian said as he put some ice on his left eye.  “They hit us but we ended up beating the hell out of them and walked out with our men.”

“He rhymes now.”  Emmett said.  “I think he has a concussion.”  He whispered.

Justin laughed and shook his head as he ran his fingers through Brian’s hair.  Brian looked at him and smiled.  He took the blond’s hand and interlaced his fingers with his baby.

“I wish I could have seen it.”  Debbie told them smiling.

“It was great.”  Emmett told them.

“Then Ben got into it too and two of the other guy's friends.”  Ted told them.  

“We beat their asses.”  Ben said.

Debbie looked at him and just nodded.  She was happy that Ben had helped them but she still didn’t like the man too much.  There was something about him that told her that it would bring Michael trouble.  She could see that the man wanted her son.

“We all got kicked out anyway.”  Ted shrugged and got up.

“They told Brian he could come back.”  Michael pointed out.

“Figures.”  Emmett said.  “I…”

“Shhh.”  Debbie said.  “That’s one of the girls.”

They stayed quiet but still they heard one of the girls start to cry.  Debbie went up to get her and came back with Victoria and Fiona. 

“Oh, what’s wrong with my girl?”  Justin asked picking up Fiona.  The little girl buried her head on her father’s neck and went back to sleep.  He smiled and rubbed her back.

“I didn’t know you guys had kids.”  Ben said looking at Justin.

Justin smiled and nodded.

“Yeah.”  Debbie said and handed Victoria to Michael.  “They are great parents.”

“They have five of them.”  Emmett whispered to Ben.

Ben looked at Justin and Brian and shook his head.  He then looked at Michael who had Victoria.

“This is Victoria.”  Debbie said.  “My granddaughter.”

“She is our life.”  Chris smiled as he looked at his daughter.

Ben just nodded as he looked at Victoria.  He looked at Michael and felt his heart breaking to pieces, seeing the man he loved and his family.

“So.”  Justin said. “I think we should go, Brian.”

“I’ll go get Illona.”  Brian got up and kissed Justin’s lips and then kissed his daughter’s head.

“We should get going too.” Ted said taking his jacket along with Emmett’s.

Debbie hugged Emmett and waved at Ted.  

“We’ll see you later.”  Emmett called to the others as they left.

“Bye, Ma.”  Michael said kissing his mother.  He looked at Chris who was picking up some things.

“Bye, Deb.”  Brian told her as he came back down and covered his daughter with his jacket.

Justin walked behind Brian pulling out the keys to the car.  Their boys were staying with Lindsay and Mel.  They could pick them tomorrow in the morning.  Chris was the first one to exit then Michael.  Ben was still lingering at the front of the house.

“Do you live here alone?”  Ben asked Debbie who was outside waving goodbye at everyone.

Debbie shook her head. “With my brother.  He is upstairs sleeping.”  Debbie told her.

Ben just nodded. “I’ll leave you, Deb.”  Ben told her.  “It’s late.”

“What do you want with my son?”  Debbie asked.

Ben stared at her before he regained his voice. “Nothing.”  Ben told her.

“That’s a lie.”  Debbie said.  “You're after him.”

“Was.”  Ben informed her.

Debbie frowned.

“I’m not trying to cause problems.”  Ben told her.  “I didn’t even know he had a daughter.”

“That’s because you don’t know him.”  Debbie told him.

Ben sighed.  “I’m getting to know him now.”  Ben pointed out.  “I…I want to be his friend.  He told me that, that’s all we are.”

“That better be all.”  Debbie told him.  “If you do anything to screw up his life, I will rip your cock off and stick it up your ass.  Goodnight and thank you for helping the boys.”  Debbie closed the door and Ben shook his head.  He buried his hands in his pockets and headed home.

“Do you like that?”  Brian asked as he licked Justin’s neck.

Justin laughed and nodded.  He let his hands roam Brian’s hair, pulling it, caressing it, tangling his fingers in it.  He smiled as Brian kissed his neck and then started sucking it.  He could feel the tingling sensation all over his body.  His eyes closed automatically as Brian kissed his lips.  His grip on Brian’s hair tightened and he let out a moan that died in Brian’s mouth.

“We have to be quiet.”  Brian muttered.  “We don’t want the girls waking up.”

Justin just nodded and wrapped his legs around Brian.  “Fuck me.”

Brian smiled as he reached for the condom and lube.  He opened the lube and put it on his fingers.  He pushed two fingers inside the waiting hole and watched as Justin’s face transformed into one of pure pleasure.  Brian would never get tired of fucking Justin.  It was not possible.  

“Now.”  Justin groaned.

Brian bit his lower lip as he opened the condom.  He put it on and used some lube on himself.  He grabbed Justin’s legs and pushed them up onto his shoulders.  He entered the blond hard all the way.  Justin held on to him, taking deep breaths as the pain washed over him.  Brian kissed him hard and pulled back.  His breath was hitting Justin as the blond’s hit him.  That special smell hitting him and making his body tremble; fueling his body with need.

“Mine.”  Brian kissed Justin letting his tongue reach inside the blond and tasting his baby.

Justin grabbed the sheets as Brian started to fuck him.  He opened his eyes and gasped as Brian hammered inside him.  The air left his lungs as Brian pushed hard inside him.  The brunet was fucking him hard and fast, not stopping for a moment.

“Fuck.”  Brian groaned, his eyes closing as the sensations coursed through him.

Justin worked Brian as best as he could.  He met each of the brunet’s thrust while adding a few moves of his own.  He gripped Brian as hard as he could, throwing the brunet off a few times.  He grabbed his cock and started jerking off.  He moaned when Brian’s hand joined him.  He groaned, his head moving up to kiss Brian.  He pulled away and licked Brian’s skin.  He smelled him and went crazy with lust.  He loved when their sweat mingled and the smell of sex was all over the room.   “God.”  He yelled feeling electricity hitting his balls.  

“Cum for me.”  Brian said in a hoarse voice.

Justin arched from the bed.  He screamed Brian’s name, feeling the brunet’s cock run past his prostate.  He splashed his cum all over them before he plummeted down on the bed.  Brian gripped Justin’s hips tight, feeling the blond squeezing him.  He kissed Justin and spilled his hot jizz inside the smaller man.

“Jesus.”  Brian smiled and opened his eyes slowly.  “You are fucking fantastic.”

Brian kissed Justin’s neck as he pulled out of him.  He got on his knees as Justin moved away from him.

“Wild.”  Justin muttered as he turned face down on the bed.  He was purring and he knew it.  He stretched out feeling the burn in his ass and he smiled widely.  He still could feel Brian inside of him.

Brian got rid of the condom.  He watched Justin who was falling asleep on the bed.  He frowned and wondered if he should say anything about what he was thinking.  He moved closer to the blond, his upper body making contact with his man.  “Are you happy?”  He asked above Justin’s ear.

Justin moved in the bed until he was resting on his side and looking at Brian.  “What kind of question is that?”

“Since you were really young, you've been stuck with me.”  Brian pointed out.

Justin rolled his eyes as he dropped onto his back.  “This is about your birthday coming up, isn’t it?”

Brian shook his head.  “This is about you.”

Justin moved closer and caressed Brian’s face.  “I like being here.  I’m happy here and I haven’t missed out on anything.  I love you Brian Kinney.”  He kissed the brunet and pulled back to give Brian one of his biggest, brightest smiles.

“Okay.”  Brian wrapped his arms around Justin, kissed him one more time then smiled as he fell asleep.

Justin smiled as he got comfortable in Brian’s arms.   He knew that Brian was asking him because of the night they had.  He never dressed so provocatively to go to Babylon without Brian.  He knew that Brian had gotten jealous and he liked that.  He liked knowing that he could do that to Brian, that the brunet still wanted him. He smirked, thinking of buying more clothes like that to make Brian jealous.  It would be an interesting ride.   

***

Debbie went up the stairs with a smile.  She couldn’t wait to tell her brother what a night the boys had.  She knocked on the door and waited.  Usually Vic was up really early in the morning.

“Vic.”  Debbie said and opened the door.

Debbie walked over to the bed and frowned.  She pulled the covers away and stared at Vic.  He had his eyes closed, a little smile playing on his lips.  She frowned, not liking the feeling that she got.

“Vic.”  Debbie whispered.  “Oh god, Vic!”

Debbie touched her brother and gasped, feeling the cold skin under her finger tips.  She grabbed his shoulders and shook him.

“No!  No!”  Debbie shouted.

She pulled back and took a couple of breaths before she ran out of there.  She reached the phone with the intention of calling someone but she just didn’t have the strength.  She sat on the floor with her arms around herself and cried.  The house was quiet except for her sobs; they echoed all around the house.  All the time, the only thing she could think of was that she was so relieved that Vic had died like that; in his dreams and apparently in a good one.  She would have died to see him in a hospital fighting for his life.  She wouldn’t have wanted to see him suffering.  It would have been so hard to deal with.  

After a couple of hours of sitting on the floor crying, she calmed down.  She looked down and found the phone in her hands.  For a moment nothing made sense.  She let the phone drop to the floor and gasped at the sudden noise.  She looked around the house and then everything hit her.  She knew why she was on the floor with a broken heart.  She took a deep breath and tried not to think about Vic.  Reaching for the phone again, her hands trembled.  She dialed a number, not sure whose; she needed to call someone and tell them what had happened.
