Gusmas 2011: Romanced & Sonnyboy Title: Romanced Series: Recovery Author:museme87 Prompt(s): Dec 13th—don't sell me short Notes: For the 37-drabble story challenge. Post-2.02 dance scene.
"You really did all that?"
Brian rolls over, half-asleep, to face Justin. Initially, he isn't even sure what Justin is talking about, but those confused, yet love-sick puppy eyes give him a clue. Prom, and everything that came out this afternoon with Daphne.
"Yeah."
"But you hate anything even remotely romantic."
Yes, he does. Not necessarily for the reasons that everyone might think, though. He hates romance because it's breeder-defined. His ideas aren't the same as theirs, and he won't live his life by them. But that doesn't mean he can't, for the right person.
"Don't sell me short, Sunshine."
Title: Sonnyboy Series: Recovery Author:museme87 Prompt(s): Dec 14th—like father, like son Notes: For the 37-drabble story challenge. We're now between the dance scene of 2.02 and the post-bashing sex.
Nothing's wrong. I'm fine.
They're words that Brian has come to loathe since the bashing. He'd assumed that moving Justin in with him again would have a negative effect on their non-relationship, that he'd remember all the little reasons why he didn't want Justin around to begin with.
In the end, it's not the random sock on the sofa or wet footprints on the bathroom floor. It's those mother fucking words.
Justin isn't fine. He's just putting on a show for everyone and bottling it up inside.
