82. Drabble: Sunshine Yellow
Title: Sunshine Yellow
Author: itwaslovetome
Theme: Colors
Notes: grayskyblue betaed. Thanks! Brian’s POV.

We’re walking back from Gus’s room after checking out how the painters I hired are doing. He points to another room I tell myself I’ve kept empty not because I kind of thought it might make a nice studio space for Justin, but rather because it’s too damn… bright in there.

“You should make that room yellow,” he says.

“And why,” I say, smiling, “would I take interior design advice from a six year old?”

“Because…” – I can’t tell whether he’s ignoring me, or not getting that the question was rhetorical - “…that’s the Sunshine Room.”

I’ll inform the painters.

	This is really cute. But where is Justin? Like why isn't the room filled already? Brian is acting too nervous for Justin to be nearby and/or secure in his life. Funny how so much came across, to me, with so few words. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	itwaslovetome 2009-07-17 07:33 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you for the feedback. As for where Justin is, I was sort of imagining he had left for NY quite recently and Brian is just starting to move into Britin... but being Brian, he's all "not really counting on Justin returning but still leaving room for him"... much like the empty drawer when Justin comes back from CA. ;) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Gus is SO Brian's son! He knows just like Brian does(although Brian tries to hide his thoughts even from himself sometimes)that Justin will be there some day to claim that Sunshine Room! Love this! (Reply to this) (Thread)
