Challenge #48: Angst
Title: Gone
Author: Catcayman
Timeline: 513
A/N: I've missed you all, as I've been without internet access for weeks. *sobs*
Condom Goes to: Brian

The cars from the street below made a muted rushing noise, not that Brian usually noticed. Somehow it seemed to match the throbbing he felt in his head. His fingers moved slowly over the sheets next to him. He left his hand on one spot, feeling any lingering warmth dissipate. When his own sweat had dried, he tried to move.

Hours later, his fingers still absently running over the spot Justin had been, Brian eventually dragged himself up. Walking silently over to the windows of the loft, he looked out, rested his head against the glass, and closed his eyes.

"Brian sad is worse than puppies at the shelter."

It sounds funny but it's true. He's this Mr. Tough and I-don't-give-a-fuck kinda guy, most of the time he's acting like an assh*le; so when you see him sad and heart broken, it's really difficult. Coz then that guy that everyone wants to nurture and love comes out, and you kinda have no clue how to deal with him. Heh, at least that's how I feel.
