Holy Crap! Are you trying to emotionally scar me?!?!?!? I thought you had killed him off, then he was just missing. But then damn, he was missing?!?!? sobs and sobs and sobs and sobs.
OK...now that my heart rate is back to an acceptable window, this was amazing. Major angst, though beautifully written major angst, IMO also. Justin hurt and alone somewhere, Brian combing the city. The morgues. Just kill me now.
It took less than 3 seconds for him to cross the distance. Less than 4 to feel whole again. Warm body in a cold sterile room. Living. Breathing. Speaking his name. Justin. *transition to happy sobs now*
Thank you, though I must be a glutton for punishment, because I LOVED this.
