Challenge #115: Brian
Title: Bent Warning: Set early s3; angst; un-beta'd Condom: Daph
In the past, rage was the one emotion with which Brian had been on speaking terms, but not these days: not since Justin moved in with the street performer. And that acceptance doesn’t make Brian a hero. It just keeps him sane, one breath at a time.
Romance had been the one element of sexual attraction that Brian rejected. But what else would you call this, Brian sitting outside Liberty Diner, on a rainy night, waiting for Justin’s shift to end so he can offer him a ride?
But he does it. Because it’s the only way he can breathe.
