Challenge #58 Chairs
Title: Playing with Chairs
Author: Philflam
Timeline: Sometime after 513
Condom: Brian

“What the fuck?”

Brian walked into his loft to find his four Milan leather chairs covered by his $800 duvet. “Justin, Daddy said a bad word,” giggled Gus.

Justin stuck his head out, “Hi, Lindsay brought Gus by.”

“We made a fork,” said Gus.

“A fort, Gus. Every kid needs a fort, right?”

Then Justin realized that Brian’s father had probably never built a fort or anything else with his son. “Come on in.”

Brian ducked to get in, in his Armani suit and Prada shoes, and sat cross-legged amongst toys, popcorn, and soda. Justin had never loved him more.

	This made me grin and be very happy. I love it when Brian surrenders and finds his inner child, which he would only do for Gus and Justin. “We made a fork,” said Gus. Loved this bit, when my younger son was 5 he said the same thing. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Brian has proven that he'll do anything for Gus and Justin. Glad the "fork" line brought back good memories. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I love thinking that this gave Brian a chance to feel like I used to when playing under my gramma's dining table covered by a big sheet. He missed so much of those kinds of things, thanks! teri (Reply to this) (Thread)
