RP: Oliver and Derek's Party
Who: Public (add your tags if they are there)
Where: pool side at the hotel
When: Sunday, May 26, 2013
Summary: They celebrate Derek's birthday

Brian was determined to make this birthday a success whether Derek wanted or not. Oh sure, technically it was for Oliver and Derek, but their friends understood why this was for Derek, at least when it came to Brian and John.

He got in touch with a local restaurant and had to make a run to pick up trays of food. He would have loved to arrange everything through the restaurant, but he couldn't imagine Derek enjoying the fancy dishes served there. Instead he went for a little simpler menu. He also got cakes for both and desserts of different time. Nell couldn't exactly bake here, but Brian still got the ice cream cake (no alcohol) and alcohol to go with it. Derek could bitch and moan, but Brian would make sure that they covered all of their bases down to fruit, vegetables and milk, because the man was superstrange, but making him happy made John happy and that was all that Brian cared about.

With everything set up, Brian could lie by the pool and get a tan while ogling all the good looking men. It was indeed a good party.

Rolling his eyes, Brian reached for the towel he'd ignored when he got out of the pool at tossed it at Mike's head. "Yes I know Jedi Masters. I can even remember seeing them in the theatre during the original release." Reaching for his beer, he tossed the remainder back and set the empty back down. "I'm pretty sure we can probably rent the movies from the hotel and watch them on a real television," he added, chuckling. "First rule of criminal behavior: only do what you have to do or you'll get caught. You have much to learn, young padawan."

Brian snorted. "Nah, you're still lucky; you're just not getting lucky."

He thought for a minute and then shook his head. "Maybe. But, truth is, my sergeant was right. I never wanted it to be Dom. Until Race Wars, when all the shit hit the fan, I was still holding out for it to be anyone else. And, like I said, a few assholes make it a bad situation for everyone. I didn't feel the bond in LAPD, but it's the Feds I'd blame for fucking everything up, rushing to get their collar no matter what corners they had to cut, going back on the deal. If I was going to bother holding on to that kind of shit." He'd made the same mistakes there, thinking he could fix things from the inside, go straight, when he should have known better, should have known they weren't going to get a fair shake. It was why he'd left Bakersfield. Why he'd been so tempted to stay in Miami with Rome. You got your lot in life handed to you as kids and the black marks followed, no matter how much you tried to shake 'em, no matter how much the good outweighed the old mistakes. He'd finally made peace with that.

Glancing towards Deeks and Marks, he shrugged. "Is what it is. Like you said, we made our choices and ended up here. I have my family, my team. I wouldn't mind a friend, possible future or any other qualifiers you want to tack onto that," he teased. "But, I got no beef with any of them. If we get home and they get between me and my family, then we got a problem. But, as long as they don't fuck with my family, no problem. They can talk Brothers in Blue all they want. It doesn't bother me. I couldn't find what I needed there. If they did, that's good for them. I found it elsewhere. S'all good."

Mike grabbed the towel laughing. "So you are that old. I'll keep that in mind, Yoda." He nodded. "We could do that, but where is the thrill. You've got to break the small rules to get them, not the big ones. And besides a good agent knows when the risk of getting caught is low. With Brian... Oh wait, maybe I should watch with him and then I'll really get lucky," he said with a grin.

"Sounds to me that you found who you are, even if I feel like I should defend the Bureau here. Since its a nice day and arguments take too much energy, lets assume that I did and you answered in kind." He really had no interested in defending an entire agency. There were also bad apples and he wouldn't defend people he didn't know. "I'm more interested in the team we have now." He chuckled. "Some people get antsy with the lack of qualifiers, but a friend sounds good."

He sighed. "You know that the way to fuck with your family is to go back to your family, right? And it won't come from them. If we get home, then maybe you'll take some help and advice from people who truly understand federal agencies, until then, we can work on this Jedi Master/Padawan thing we have going."
