Title: No More Regrets
Author: ![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) noteverything
Prompt(s): December 30: "It wouldn't be New Year's if I didn't have regrets." ~William Thomas
Notes: Thank you so much to not_yet_defined for both her beta and encouragement. I really thought I'd never be able to write another drabble. But this is such a good cause, I'm glad I could. Happy New Year!
Time and time again, Justin had proven Brian completely wrong.
"I don’t believe in love, I believe in fucking...” That one was out the window so quickly that Brian spent the next five years pretending he hadn’t seen it fly past.
“The only thing worth celebrating is achievement...” Sure, that’s why Justin got a new car and a painting of his *own* cock on his 23rd birthday.
“No excuses, no apologies, no regrets...” That one took longer. But now, on New Year’s Eve, dressed for Babylon, Brian was online, booking the next available flight to New York. No more regrets. |

Title: In a Fucking Mall
Author: noteverything
Prompt: December 9: Shopping. If I read it correctly, someone said they'd donate $50 for this prompt. I hope this works.
Notes: Again, so many sloppy kisses and thank yous to not_yet_defined. It was serendipitous (lol!) that you were here this afternoon!
“What are we doing?” Brian’s voice was clipped.
“We’re trying to decide on JR’s present,” Justin said, in a cheerful voice that only made Brian more irritated.
“No. What the fuck are we doing in a fucking mall looking at fucki-” Brian’s rant was cut off by a tug on his coat.
“Daddy, will you go look at the fountain with me? It’s all decorated and I think I saw an elf!”
Justin gazed steadily at Brian as he glanced up, then smiled down at his son. He scooped Gus up, heading toward the fountain.
“Of course we can, son.” |

Title: Coming Home
Author: jule1122
Prompt: Home for the holidays
“Debbie threatened my remaining ball if I didn’t find out when you’re coming home for Christmas. Apparently she’s planning a tree trimming party.”
“I’m not coming back for Christmas,” Justin answered after a long silence.
“Okay,” Brian dragged the word out, but didn’t ask for an explanation. “But you have to tell her.”
“Brian,” Justin said with a mix of exasperation and amusement. “You’re supposed to ask why.”
“Why?” Brian rolled his eyes.
“Because I’m not leaving after Thanksgiving.”
“Debbie will be thrilled to hear that,” Brian fought to keep his voice even.
“She better not be the only one.” |

Title: Fun and Games
Author: jule1122
Prompt: Batteries not included
Brian pushed the didlo the rest of the way in and sat back, admiring the way it looked, stretching Justin’s hole, filling him. Brian watched as Justin’s skin flushed, and he arched his back, tugging unconsciously at his bonds while adjusting to the feel of the dildo.
“Fucking move it,” Justin ground out when Brian made no move to touch him.
Brian smiled and began lazily stroking his own cock. “Sorry, Sunshine, I’m a little busy right now. Next time request one that vibrates if you’re going to be so impatient.”
“Next time, your ass is mine.”
Brian just laughed. |

Title: Do Unto Others
Author: jule1122
Prompt: Baby, It's Cold Outside
Hunter rushed from the diner to the bus stop. He couldn’t believe how cold it had gotten since his shift start eight hours ago.
He was just about to enter the shelter when a teenage boy stepped up close to him.
“Can I warm you up while you wait?” he leered.
“Not interested.” Hunter turned away, but he couldn’t ignore how thin the hustler was, how he shivered with only a worn sweatshirt on.
“Here take this,” Hunter shrugged off his jacket, leaving his tips in the pocket. The bus would be there soon, and Ben had an extra coat. |

Title: Sounds of the Season
Author: jule1122
Prompt: A Christmas Carol
Brian was in the middle of bitching out the moron who thought “cute and cuddly” was an acceptable approach to advertising when he heard it.
The faint sound of bells had Brian shaking his head wondering if he was more hung over than he realized. Then he heard voices singing a horribly off-key version of “Jingle Bells.”
As the singing got louder, Brian realized the majority of Kinnetik’s staff was walking through the hallway in Santa hats fucking caroling.
“Cynthia!” Brian bellowed into the intercom as “Jingle Bells” became “Sleigh Ride.”
No answer, but Cynthia waved when she passed by. |

Title: It is the Season 35 - Making Changes
Author: rainbow1907
Prompt: December 30 - "It wouldn't be New Year's if I didn't have regrets." ~William Thomas
Beta: Many thanks to my wonderful beta LJ User buckeye5! All remaining mistakes are mine.
Author's Note: Drabble Series for drabylon dollars!
They lay side by side on their bed, basking in the afterglow of a most satisfying round of love-making and sharing a smoke.
“We’re going to have to cut back on our cigarettes soon. We can’t smoke around the baby,” Justin remarked.
“Uh-huh… maybe.”
“How do you like James?”
“Hmm, not really… Adrian?”
“Absolutely not! Maybe Julian? I think I’d really like that name.”
“Julian Victor Taylor-Kinney? Not bad. I could get used to that.”
Brian sighed. “We missed out on so much with Gus. If I could go back in time and change that I would in a heartbeat.”

Title: A New Tradition
Author: jule1122
Prompt: What have you done today to feel proud
Emmett flipped the switch and watched the tree light up. “Ta Da! What do you think?” he asked eagerly.
Debbie stared at the tree, tears shining in her eyes.
She’d listen to him agonize over whether to choose a real tree or a winter white artificial, ad patiently debated the merits of art deco versus Renaissance ornament schemes.
Then one day she showed up at his condo with pesto penne and several boxes. “These are some of Vic’s ornaments,” she explained. “We both have so many; I know he’d love for you use them.”
Debbie squeezed his hand. “It’s perfect.” |

Title: Moving Forward
Author: jule1122
Prompt: University of Pittsburgh photo
“They want an answer tomorrow. Am I saying yes?”
“I don’t know.” Ben seemed excited, but Michael wasn’t sure. “You love Carnegie Mellon.”
“I do, but this is a great opportunity. Carnegie Mellon’s a liberal school, but some of the administration isn’t. They’ve made it clear I won’t be advancing no matter how popular my classes are.”
“You didn’t tell me that!” Michael interrupted angrily.
“It doesn’t matter,” Ben said calmly. “University of Pittsburgh is a good school, and their giving me a lot of latitude in designing my curriculum.”
“Dean Bruckner,” Michael smiled. “I like the sound of that.” |

Title: Unwelcome Reminder
Author: jule1122
Prompt: Fathers and sons
“Kinney,” Brian grabbed the phone and kept working.
“Brian.”
“Mother,” Brian winced.
“There will be a mass for your father on Sunday. I thought you might want to come.”
“Little late for that. He’s been in the ground for over ten years.”
“Don’t be vulgar,” Joan snapped. “The mass is to commemorate his life. Claire and the boys will be there.”
“I know you’re dunk, but you must be high as well,” Brian laughed. “There’s not a damn thing about dear old Dad’s life worth commemorating except perhaps his death.”
The only response was the sound of the dial tone. |

Title: Surprise!
Author: jule1122
Prompt: A phone call
“I’m getting married!” Daphne practically shrieked over the phone.
“Wow, Daph. That’s. . .”
“Sudden? Crazy? Romantic?” Daphne interrupted. “I know! And it’s only been six months, but I’m sure, positively, completely sure.”
“I was going to say wonderful,” Justin spoke quickly when Daphne paused to breathe.
“Oh,” Daphne sounded disappointed. “Do you mind if I practice the rest of my speech? I don’t think my parents will take it so well.”
“Ummm, Daphne,” Justin stopped her several minutes later. “You might want to leave out the part about multiple orgasms.”
“Just wanted to make sure you were still listening,” Daphne giggled. |
