JR & Michael, Mel, maybe Gus too, Jenny's first day of kindergarten

[sxysadie21.livejournal.com]

FILL – It’ll Be Okay. Jenny's first day of kindergarten, Rating: G

“Daddy.” She huffed out a huge sigh. Michael couldn’t help but look down at the little girl on the other end of his hand.

“JR.” He was trying to remain calm. But there was something so wrong with the idea that his little girl was starting kindergarten. He was more than happy the girls had come back to the States. But heart-breaking moments like this one made him think maybe it was easier, sometimes, when they were in another country. Then JR’s little hand squeezed his, and he knew he was wrong. Even the pain was better with them here. He smiled as he squatted down to her level.

“What’s wrong, princess?”

“I don’t wanna go.”

“Why not?”

“I want to say wif you ‘stead.”

“I’ll be here when you get out, and I’ll come pick you up. Promise.”

He glanced up at Mel, noticing she was fairing much better than he was, but even she looked choked up.

“But you’ll read the comics wifout me.” This seemed to genuinely concern her.

“I won’t. I promise. I’ll wait for you.” He forced a smile. “And there’s a new shipment in today! I’ll save them just for you.”

“But,” she pulled her hand out from Michael’s and crossed her arms in front of herself. “I still don’t wanna go.” She looked up at Mel. “Can you tell him I don’t hafta go?” Her eyes were pleading with her mother, silently.

Mel bent down next to Michael. “We talked about this. You have to go. And we will all be here when you get out.” She looked at her watch. She was going to have to push that meeting back. But she would be here.

Gus came flying out of the front door, his vintage Spiderman lunchbox Michael had given him for Christmas clutched in his hand. “Are we going or what?” He was grinning. “Do you think Dad will drive us? He said he would.”

Mel rolled her eyes as she stood up. “Gus, I think your father might have had a meet---“ She trailed off as Brian pulled up in his Stingray, her eyes rolling even harder than she knew was possible. “Of course.” She glanced over at Michael who shrugged.

Jenny’s bottom lip had made its way out and was quivering as Michael glanced back down at her. He held his arms out and she let herself be swept up in his hug for just a moment. Then her eyes focused on her big brother who was staring at her.

“Come on Jenny Rebecca.” He held his hand out. “It’ll be okay. We’re going to the same place.” Her eyes brightened up, and she used her hand to shove back from Michael.

“Okay!” She kissed Michael’s cheek softly and grabbed for Gus’ hand.

“Wait!” Michael and Mel both yelled. “You were going to ride with us?” Mel motioned towards the minivan.

“But Mooooooooooom,” She sighed. “Unca Brian’s car is way cooler. And it’s my first day.” Her tiny hands made their way to her hips.

Mel groaned. “Let me get the car seat for you, Brian."

Brian was torn between the utter horror of a car seat being put into his Corvette and the silent victory he had just won.

“You guys can follow behind us.” Brian smirked at Mel and Michael as he climbed into the car and shut the door. “Race you?”

JR and Gus erupted in yells of triumph while Mel and Michael both yelled out, “NO!”

Brian glanced in the backseat at both the kids in the rear view mirror. “Keep your hands inside the ride at all times and remember to tip your driver.”

Gus winked at JR. “Told you, it’ll be okay.”

She held her little hand out for Gus, who quickly grabbed it.

Brian/Justin, 5 years into their relationship, they finally have their first proper date.

[mander3-swish.livejournal.com]

FILL - Hopeless, Brian/Justin, 5 years into their relationship, they finally have their first proper date, Warnings: mostly fluffy silliness...a bit of 'twist' on the prompt.

It was all a setup.

He should have known this was not Brian's doing. It was one thing for Brian to randomly buy him a house and propose marriage, but it was altogether another thing for him to actually plan a *cough* romantic *cough* date night.

The other day when he got home from the studio, he found a single yellow tulip on the kitchen table that had a note saying he should meet Brian at 7pm on Friday night at Crave. He knew Brian was in town for business, but so far they hadn't had a chance to connect.
---
"I'm so glad you picked my new favorite restaurant," Justin gushed after embracing Brian when he got to the table.

Brian quirked his eyebrow, a mildly confused look on his face, but then quickly schooled his features once he realized what might be going on. He wasn't sure if he should kill Daphne or buy her some expensive thank-you present. Really, it all depended on Justin's reaction when he found out the truth.

"Of course. Only the best for my Sunshine," he teased. "Look, I have to be honest. I didn't exactlyplan this date. We've been setup... by Daphne."

A thousand emotions rushed through Justin's mind: surprise, confusion, irritation, exasperation, relief, understanding, love... He reached across the table, holding onto to Brian's hand. "Thank you for being honest with me.

"Now, are you gonna help me get back at Daphne?" Justin wore a huge devious smile that Brian couldn't help grinning back at.

They schemed all through calamari appetizers and a bottle of red, but all they could come up with was making out and fucking all over the apartment while Daph was there or likely to catch them in the act. However, they didn't think that was very revengeful as she would probably end up enjoying it all a little too much.

"Shit. I think we're losing our touch." Brian lamented.

"Oh! Hey! I bet the best way to get back at her is to not say anything at all. She'll probably burst at the seams wanting to gloat about her awesome 'plan' for our date."

"Well aren't you just a clever devil."

Justin rolled his eyes. "And you're ridiculous. Let's just get dessert to go and we can get started on ignoring Daph while not sharing our cheesecake with her."

"You're having way too much fun with this now. Don't you think you owe her your debt of gratitude for finally getting a chance to go on a 'real' date with me. I'm quite the catch, I'll have you know."

"So what, now you're defending her? Betrayed by my best friend AND my boyfriend in the same night." Justin of course was only feigning the queen out, but it was fun joking around about it.

"Are you done?"

Justin nodded and Brian leaned in, kissing him deeply and hoping it would distract him enough to forget about Daphne's demise for a while.

A/N: The meaning of yellow tulips has evolved somewhat, from once representing hopeless love to now being a common expression for cheerful thoughts and sunshine... so the sentiment works either way...

Prompt from yvonnereid
Which famous celeb/charater would the boys/girls like to fuck?

Alternative first meeting of Brian and Justin.

[galehot.livejournal.com]

Fill-The Challenge, Brian/Justin, Alternative first meeting [Part 1 of 2]

Notes: Thanks to mander3_swish

There was a conversation taking place the was lasting much longer than most did on at Woody's on nights likes these.
“I say he could,” Michael said.

“Michael, you have to admit that it would be unheard and… not very Brian,” Ted said, contradicting him.
“He couldn’t because it goes completely against his character, his nature,” Emmett contributes.

“Excuse me,” Brian interrupted. “I’m out of condoms, so why don’t you choose anyone here so I can show you what I can do?” Brian said, ending with a pull on his beer.

The boys agreed that it should be someone who doesn’t frequent Woody's and didn't appear to be Brian’s type. They made surveyed the bar, searching for the perfect candidate. Everyone knew when they saw him enter.

“Him!” they all said, nodding towards the young man who was headed to the bar.

Brian furrowed his brow when he saw him, “Are you serious?” he complained. The gang all smiled. He grabbed his jacket and said, “After today we're never having this conversation again, is that clear?” They all nodded in agreement.

He threw his jacket over the bar, startling the young man and leaned in to talk in his ear. “I’m going to stick my nine inch cock in your tight little ass, all night long.” After he said it, he immediately thought that it wasn't necessarily the best way to start a nice conversation with a stranger, but it had always worked out before, so why not?

The young man looked at him sideways with curl to his lip. “Get lost.”

Brian blinked at the answer that obviously was induced by some kind of drug that caused the man to somehow not properly appreciate Brian’s sex appeal. “What did you just say?”

“Not interested. Drop that shit on some other stupid brat who cares.”

Brian blinked again. “Your manners are for sh…” he started to rant.

“Listen, man. I told you I do not care,” the young man said, a mere inches from his face. Brian was fascinated by the light blue eyes, golden hair, fair skin, provocative mouth, and full symmetrical cheekbones. Not bad looking.

His first strategy obviously hadn’t worked so he needed to change tactics. “Had a bad day?”

“What makes you think that my refusal had any to do with my mood and isn't directly correlated to the simple fact that I don’t find you attractive?”

Brian was beginning to wonder if any of the boys had hired this guy to make fun of him, “I definitely think you need to get laid. Urgently.”

Laughing, he turned to face him, “I doubt that you’re that lucky.”

Brian laughed too. The kid had guts. He moved his stool closer. “I’m Brian,” he said and asked the bartender for a beer.
The young man shook his head and continued to focus on his beer. “Still not interested.”

“You would me,” Brian said. “This is the first time someone has rejected me since…since…”

“Memory loss is a clear sign of premature aging. How old are you anyway? …34…35…?”

Brian’s eyes narrowed. “What the fuck is wrong with you? I just turned 30, asshole!” he replied angrily and asked for tequila. “Did Emmett hire you?”

“What?” the young man asked, “Didn’t you just said you’re Bred?”

“Brian…Bred is a shit name.” Brian said defensively.

“Brian, Bred, Brittany…who cares?” sneered the young man.

“God, you’re unbearable.”

“Why are you still here? Don’t you have friends or anyone to eat up that bullshit about your nine inches?”
Brian grabbed the young man’s hand and placed it on his jeans. “You can see it for yourself if you want.”

brian/justin, AU justin's a mechanic... and
someone with a fancy corvette stingray pulls into the shop one day....

[xheartrockx.livejournal.com]

FILL - Turn Of A Screw, Brian/Justin, R (will most likely get NC-17), [Part 1a/?]

"Hey Justin, can you check out front? There's a new customer," Charlie calls from his office where he is on the phone with one of their suppliers.

"In a minute," the blond answers from the back of the shop, his voice strained as he tightens the lug nut on a Toyota. When he is done, he wipes his hands on his coveralls and heads out front.

Leaning against a sleek convertible, a young man takes a drag from his cigarette. He has his back turned to Justin who clears his throat to get the guy's attention. "Hello, can I help you?"

The customer turns around, one eyebrow raised. While he stomps the remainder of his cigarette with his boot, he gives Justin a once-over. "I don't know. Can you?"

Justin grins. It's his standard reaction by now, he gets that kind of a look a lot. Except this particular one isn't the usual mix of curiosity and surprise; there's also a kind of leer to it. "You have a car, this is a shop, I'm a mechanic, so... I'm pretty sure the answer is yes."

The other man, lean and tall, eyes him for another second, then he gives a miniature nod. "I just bought it." He gestures at the car. "I want you to run a check on it."

"Engine, rust, the works?"

"I have a car, that is a shop and you claim to be a mechanic, so..."

Justin's grin widens. He likes that guy. And not just because 'hot' doesn't even begin to describe him. "Alright. Can you roll her into the garage for me? Then we'll have a closer look at that beauty."

His costumer quirks an eyebrow, obviously catching on to the double entendre. He doesn't answer, though, but slips behind the wheel, all long legs and fluid motions. Justin can't help but lick his lips, and it's not just because of the car.

The engine roars to life - a full, sonor sound - and the dark haired man pulls the car into the garage until Justin signals him to stop.

"Pop the hood for me," he instructs and pulls a flashlight from a pocket in his coveralls. While he opens the hood, he watches his costumer from the corner of his eyes, how the brunet literally unfolds himself from behind the wheel. "Alright, let's have a look."

"Are you even old enough to be a mechanic?"

Justin shakes his head with a grin. "I have a driver's license and I'm allowed to vote."

His costumer eyes him. "Still doesn't answer my question."

"Why don't you let me have a look at your car, and then you'll be the judge of my capabilities? If you're not satisfied with the service I provide, I'll get my boss to take care of you."

"I'd like you to take care of..." There's a pause, and that leer again, "my car."

Justin feels a blush creep on his cheeks and he has to clear his throat before he's able to speak. "I'm Justin, by the way."

"Brian."

Ben, Brian Years of Michael's incessant bothering and their love for him have made them into friends. Any sort of friendship fic!

[mander3-swish.livejournal.com]

FILL - Other People's Lives. Brian & Ben (mentions Michael). Friendship!fic...of sorts.

prologue link (http://drabylon.livejournal.com/376096.html):
"What the hell is going on?!" Michael cried out.

"Michael! What are you doing home so early?" Ben asked when his husband burst into the apartment. "Brian was just... photographing me, I swear! Nothing else happened."

He walked over and tried to pull Michael into an embrace. "They're all for you. I wanted to surprise you for our anniversary."

"Then why are you BOTH naked if it's so innocent?" Michael asked, near tears.

"Mikey, everyone knows I've already had the Professor."

"That's not really helping," Ben said, chiding Brian. "Michael, let me get you a coffee and I'll explain everything."

...Earlier that day at the gym...

Brian was doing his normal, regular work-out when Ben walked up to him.

"Can I give you some advice?" Not waiting for a reply, but noticing the role of Brian's eyes, he dove right in. "Keep your elbows in when you're lifting in that position. You'll get twice the benefit in your triceps and shoulders."

"Thanks for unsolicited tip, Professor. Why do I feel like you want something in return?"

It was true. Ben had been thinking about it for awhile, but didn't really know how to broach the topic without getting the typical Brian Kinney snark thrown at him. "I was hoping for some tips... some, er... a knot tying tutorial."

"You and I both know you've already received the hands-on version of everything I know about knots."

"Fine. A refresher course then - minus the fucking." Ben hesitated before going on because there was one more part to this favor. "And, if it would be at all possible, I would really appreciate it if you could photograph me, ropes and all... A little private anniversary present for Michael."

"Kinky," Brian interjected.

"So will you do it?"

"I'm sure we can work something out. What are friends for, after all?"

---

"Come on Ben, give me something to work with here." Brian was trying to get Ben into model mode, but it wasn't working. "Just create a character, get into his head, and emote." He repositioned himself on the bed, hovering over Ben who he had skillfully tied to the Novotny-Bruckner marriage bed. "Think why you're doing this; think of Mikey, but please god don't tell me about it... This is more than I ever wanted to be involved in your sex-life again."

"I just feel so awkward, so exposed," Ben reasoned. "I can't help it."

Brian jumped off the bed, coming up with an idea that might work... or it might make things even more awkward. He took off his shirt and shucked his jeans, then picked his camera back up and returned to the bed.

Ben was staring at him wide-eyed and looked even more nervous. "One of my profs in college said that sometimes it's not enough to just picture everybody naked; if everyone was naked, the nudity could be the great equalizer," Brian said, trying to explain the sudden striptease.

"I think your prof just wanted to get into everyone's pants."

Brian/Lindsey -- high school; Brian figures out he likes boys

[sxysadie21.livejournal.com]

FILL - Two Guilty Smiles, Lindsay/Brian, Rating: R for language, perhaps?, [Part 1 / 1] Thanks to: aaa_mazing for helping me with this one. I know it was rough! :)

Lindsay wasn’t sure how to tell Brian that she wanted to end their “dating” of the last few months. She loved him. She had thought she was in love with him at one point. But then she spent that weekend retreat with Art Club snuggled up with Vanessa and realized that perhaps those feelings she just couldn’t place for the last few years made…sense, finally.

They met up, as usual, after Brian was done with soccer practice. She smiled at him, a half-smile, a guilty smile. “Hey,” she stood on her tiptoes to kiss him cheek lightly.

“Wendy,” he grinned, a smirk, a guilty smile. She could tell something was up. He knew something.

“How was practice?”

“The coach was busting my balls.” I think perhaps I liked it a little too much.

“I’m almost done with my painting for the student art show. Are you still planning on coming?”

“Provided that you can keep yourself from turning into Van Gogh, I’ll be there.”

I should tell him. Right now. She took a deep breath, and looked over at him, his hair freshly washed and disheveled. His grin could light up an entire room. I must be crazy.

When they reached his car, he paused, after tossing his soccer bag into the trunk. He leaned with his hand on the open lid, and let his eyes take in all of her. She’s wonderful. Fucking of course she is. I must be fucking insane to blow this.
But..well..I’d rather be blowing the gym teacher. So I have to. “We need to talk.” He closed the trunk softly, letting his eyes look over at hers for just a second.

Fuck. He already knows. “Brian. I’m so sorry.”

“What the fuck for?” He crossed his arms. “None of this is your fault.” She can’t possibly know. I’ve only told Michael. And he’s too afraid of me to say a fucking word. Well, and then there was David, in the locker room. But he’d be stupid as shit to say anything. Because I have no problem telling the rest of his football buddies how much he likes being on his knees.

“It is. I should have told you earlier.”

He cocked his head, rolling his lips into his mouth for just a moment before running his fingers through his hair. “Told me what?”

“That I don’t want to,” she paused, before letting the rest of the words fall out of her mouth quickly, “date anymore. I just can’t. It isn’t fair.”

She was almost in tears, and Brian’s heart was racing. He hated to see her in any pain whatsoever. He cared about her. He cared for her. “What happened?” He moved closer, wrapping her in his arms and pulling her in for a long hug against his chest.

“Vanessa and I, at the art retreat.” She was almost sobbing. “It just happened. And I liked it. I liked her.”
He pulled back, his eyes dipping down to look directly into hers, a smile playing on his lips. “Are you telling me you don’t like boys?”

She nodded, before burying her face in his chest. He laughed loudly. He should have tried harder to stop it, but it was too late.

She pushed back against his chest, crossing her arms and glaring at him. “Why is that so funny?” I thought he at least cared. Why is he laughing?

He was still laughing. “Because,” he reached out, pulling her back in again and running his fingers along her hair gently. “I was going to tell you I do. Like boys that is.”
