Hustler Justin XIX
Whore In A Hoody







He turns away from me and I let him. What’s left to say? He’s alone. I want to tell him he has me, but he doesn’t, not really. I’m back at Ryder on Monday, and somewhere in between catching up on my work and dazzling new clients, I need to write a book. I glance over at him, curled up and shaking. I cover him with the duvet.

“We can still fuck.”

I don’t know what to say to that so run my fingers through his hair and go back to the sofa with scotch and a pack of cigarettes.



~~~210~~~
I pull myself together. He doesn’t need this shit. I don’t have time for this shit. I join him on the sofa and take a cigarette out of the pack. He hands me a glass of scotch and I have to admit that sometimes, it’s nice to be treated like an adult instead of a child, or a pet. “I’ll be okay.”

He nods. I don’t think he believes me.

“I’ve managed so far.”

He doesn’t nod at that. I don’t think he agrees. I lean my head on his shoulder. “You can come visit me.”

His body gets tense.


~~~211~~~
Visit him? Make an appointment? Pay him? I don’t know how to respond so I don’t.

“You helped me out, and you don’t want anything difficult. I’d give you a discount.”

I’m going to strangle the twat in about twenty seconds but I find myself nodding. Tossing him a couple hundred dollars and making sue he’s safe both seem like good ideas.

“Just call first, okay? I’ll make sure you have the number.”

I picture walking into a scene like the one that left him marked and flinch. He feels it.

“I just mean that… clients hate to be interrupted.”


~~~212~~~
“Justin…”

I know what he’s about to say. “Don’t, Brian. We keep going in circles.”

He nods and we spend the rest of the night staring at the television, or watching the smoke swirl from a cigarette. When I can’t keep my eyes open anymore he helps me to bed and sometime in the middle of the night he curls up behind me and fucks me gently. Kissing my ear. Whispering things I think he’s hoping I won’t remember. I come before he does but only by moments. When we fully wake up, hours later, he’s grumpy and I’m excited.


~~~213~~~
The furniture is being delivered between noon and four. We start with the grocery store. It’s ten thousand tiny decisions. I wonder if he even knows what he likes to eat, or how to cook.

We finally make it out of the store with the essentials. Peanut butter, bread, milk and a couple of other things I insisted on. He’s putting it all away and waiting for the delivery guy when I realize he doesn’t have dishes, or… anything. He says he doesn’t care. “Justin, I’ll be back.” He nods seriously. I wonder if he believes me. Why would he?


~~~214~~~
He’s not coming back. That’s okay. I didn’t expect him to. It’s almost five when the furniture guys arrive. They assemble everything and it’s starting to look like someplace that’s worth the money. The reception area is formal but it’s supposed to be. I’m startled when Brian walks in.

“The door’s not locked.”

I shrug.

The doorman is behind him with a big cart full of stuff.

“For me?”

He nods, and starts opening boxes.

“You know, I can’t really cook here. The place can’t smell like…”

“Plates, microwave, coffee pot. I’m not anticipating you becoming he next Martha Stewart.”


~~~215~~~
I’m ready to go home but the thought of leaving makes my stomach churn. “You have an appointment book yet?”

He nods.

What’s Tuesday look like?

He rolls his eyes. “It’s wide open.”

“I’d like to see you.”

“Morning or evening?”

“After work, say eight?”

“You work late.”

“I have a lot of catching up to do.”

He nods and I can tell he’s really looking forward to some time alone. Surprisingly, I’m not. He settles into his room, and I hear him lock the door as I pull his door shut. Making sure it’s locked before I walk away.


~~~216~~~
this is what I dreamed about all those months on the streets, I reach for the sketchbook he insisted on buying, and a set of charcoals. I pull my knees up in the ridiculously large chair and just draw. Isaac always said it was a waste of time, we could be practicing, or networking but sometimes I just ignored him. Practice was always longer and harder later, but it was worth it. I wish he hadn’t taken my sketchbooks with him. When I can’t keep my eyes open I crawl into bed pulling the thick duvet up to my chin.

Yay!

I like Brian making an appointment to see Justin. It *was* a good idea...

I think it was a good idea too. I think Brian will sleep better knowing that he has a specific time when he'll be able to see Justin again.

I hope there's a small part of Justin that looks forward to that appointment.

Oh, I'm so glad to see Justin drawing, and cuddling up into his very own bed! As much as I love it when Brian takes care of him, he'll never get better until he learns how to meet his own needs in a non-destructive way. I'm glad Brian is going back to work too (and that he's made an appointment!). :-)

Brian needs to get back to work. Brian needs to have an appt. to see Justin for his own peace of mind. and Justin, drawing in a big chair, cuddling up under a warm blanket... this is all part of his dream. Now if he can have that dream include daily safety without people hiring him to harm him... we'll be all set.

What [info]tweedygal and [info]secretsolitaire said.

“The door’s not locked.”

Brilliant twist/inversion on "There are no locks on the door".

In fact, one of my favourite things in ths story is how you keep reusing canon dialogue, giving it new meaning.

Yeah, i play with canon dialog in this because it's in my head, and yes, i'm skipping around the seasons too, but it's to remind us who they are (which i shouldn't have to do) but they are both a little different than we know them in canon.

Thank you for continuing to read and reply.

I'm just now getting caught up with this story, and I have to say how much I am loving this story. :)

I'm so glad you're caught up and enjoying it. I'm still enjoying writing it. I'm really working them towards a point where they can be "team Britin"

thank you for reading.

Grrrr, Isaac. He took Justin's sketchbooks?!?

I have mixed emotions about Brian scheduling an appointment with Justin. I'm glad that he'll use the opportunity to see Justin again, but the idea of him being a "paying customer" at this point is sad.

I'm hoping that Justin having his own space with his room and his chair, and getting back to his art will help him to realize that he's worth more than how he currently sees himself.

Yes, if we weren't already sure Isaac was evil, he didn't really like for Justin to spend time sketching AND he took Justin's sketchbooks.

Brian really didn't have an option. He could make an appointment or he could risk not seeing Justin and he chose, in his opinion, the lesser of two evils.

Justin's in a safe place where he can be somewhat independent and sketch and maybe even explore other media (he wants an easel, remember?) so that's a start.

I am glad that Justin did lock his door, at least he has a bit of self preservation left. That and his sketch pad. I really hate Isaac more with each installment. Taking Justin's sketch pad and telling him not to draw? WTF!

And I am glad briam made an appointment with Justin. Although I kinda think that Brian may show up unannounced.

Justin made it clear that Brian really shouldn't show up unannounced... but that doesn't mean Brian's going to listen... and yeah, since you're not supposed to like Isaac, i think it's okay th really hate him.

All Justin's ever wanted was to be able to lock himself behind a door, but he only intends to do it for short periods of time... you know, between clients.

i kinda think it's sad that he's got this whole apartment and it's all set up for clients, only one tiny space is actually for his use, but then, i'm weird like that.

Isaac took his sketchbooks with him!?!? For some reason that outrages me almost as much as the other stuff. It just seems like such a complete violation and invasion. I HATE Isaac.
Have I mentioned how much I love this story though? I also appreciate how often you're updating!

yeah, i'm updating, on average, twice a day... so that's like, a lot.

Isaac is not a good man.

and taking justin's sketchbooks IS a violation, and mabye one justin cares about more than the other stuff, because Justin has all this twisted reasoning behind the rest of it.

As much as I hate seeing Justin leaving Brian's loft, somehow, things don't look as bad as they could. Knowing that Brian will definitely be seeing Justin very soon helps.

It helps Brian too. I think he'd like to keep an eye on Justin. I also think Justin needs an eye kept on him in this story.
