ok, more coherent squee now after a second reading and more tears...
First, god Justin can't catch a break! Another coma, another struggle to be an artist. Protective!Brian round two works for me though ;)
Second, this part just, omg, just *HURTS* - One day his search included a stop at the request of the police, it wasn't the first time. It wasn't him, Brian reassured himself as he vomited in the alley behind the morgue.
Third, this moment is perfection - It took less than 3 seconds for him to cross the distance. Less than 4 to feel whole again. Warm body in a cold sterile room. Living. Breathing. Speaking his name. Justin.
Finally, this moment is somehow even more perfect than the one I just called perfection - He just tried again. And again. Until he got what he wanted. He didn't feel angry this time. He just felt lucky.
