It's strange to say about a death fic but that was really beautiful. I can see Brian and Justin reacting like this. My two favorite parts: I'm frozen in place like a fucking idiot. and Only Justin seems to be thriving on all the bullshit. He has his game face on and he's dealing. I have this odd notion that it is the calm before the storm. But I can't for the life of me imagine what that storm might look like.
