“Emmett!”

“What honey?” Emmett walked towards Michael who’s looking out the window.

“Those boys from down the street, they’re back.”

Emmett saw three dark-haired boys, standing naughtily in front of his Aunt’s house. The tallest looked mischievous, the smallest wore an evil grin, and the one in the middle…

He’s the gang-leader. The mastermind.

The tallest coached the smallest to walk up the door, brown bag on his right hand.

“BOYS!!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?!?” A loud voice sent the boys running for their lives.

A woman chased them, ears literally fuming.

“And I thought Mom was scary.”

He’s cold, tired and hungry. Another night, another struggle to survive. He turned his head as two people entered the restaurant behind him. He automatically walked towards the huge window of the establishment. He stops himself from pressing his face on its surface to closely watch the waiters as they serve their patrons. He swallows as a plate of spaghetti approaches the table near the window. He catches a glimpse of himself in the glass; eyes full of longing. Shame, guilt and anger filled his being. He turns around, stuffs his hands in his jean pockets. It’s time to work…

He heard his stomach growl. He hadn’t eaten since last night after Justin left. He’s been filling his empty stomach with coffee and shots as if to fill the void within him. He thought of going to the diner but didn’t really want to watch everybody suppress themselves from mentioning Justin in front of him. So he ordered pizza instead. But it didn’t look appetizing. He got up from the couch walking towards the kitchen seeing Justin cook his Jambalaya. He felt empty. He looked at the phone by the kitchen counter; hesitated for a minute then picked it up.

Another condom for Kinney.

Your roommate left for the night to a bar in the Village. She asked if you wanted to come but you decided to stay. You called the number for the Chinese restaurant that’s posted on the fridge. You silently wished you were at the diner. With him. You sat in your empty room, feeling as empty; waiting for your food which you knew you wouldn’t be able to consume. You’re too occupied, thinking of the home you left more than 24 hours ago. Then, your phone rang. Your heart skipped a beat when you read his name on the ID…

“Why are we here again?”

“I want Chinese food.”

“How did you find this place anyway?” Brian watches a busy river of people brush pass the Corvette.

“Your ‘magic potion‘? Got it right from across that restaurant.”

Brian adjusted in his seat. 

“What’s wrong?”

“I think this place’s really mystical.”

“What’re you talking about?”

Brian took Justin’s hand placing it on his crotch.

“A joy forever?” Justin said suppressing a laugh, feeling Brian’s throbbing cock. Brian rolled his tongue on the inside of his cheek.

Justin lowered his head towards Brian’s crotch.

“What about lunch?”

“Just buy me dessert afterwards.”

It’s sunny outside. The birds are chirping, the bees are buzzing-street kids screaming insults at each other?

It’s a very important day for him. Everything’s just so gay.

‘Don’t let them ruin it.’

Emmett looked out the window and yelled at the kids on their street. ‘Probably the same kids who trashed Brian’s Jeep.’

One of them threw a rock at the window as he closes it.

He didn‘t care but glad wasn't hit on the head. He looked at his reflection in the mirror, turned around, did a Marilyn Monroe impersonation before blissfully pinching his cheeks.

“Nice implants!”

“What the fuck’s that chirping sound?” Brian looked up the sunny sky.

“They’re called birds,” Justin obnoxiously replied.

“That’s something to be gay about,” Emmett tilted his head.

“Are they hard and throbbing?” Brian said sarcastically.

“Justin meant flying birds, not cocks.” Michael said.

“Where‘s the bathroom?” Brian looked around.

“Here’s some toilet paper, there’s a bush over there,” Justin pointed to a row of wild plants not far from their tents. Brian was dumbfounded.

“Blissful night ahead of us. Mosquitoes everywhere,” said Ted.

“Hard ground for our bed,” added Ben.

“Aren’t you glad for the Liberty Ride?” said Emmett.

“Ethan!” Smiling, Justin whispered as he met a dark-haired young man by the entrance of the dance floor. His spirit soared up high. When their lips touched, Justin felt the void within him being filled. But no, not completely. However he decided it would do.

Their faces parted. Justin turned around and there he was...glaring at them. He took his mask off…Justin looked straight into Brian’s eyes but couldn’t read him. 

“Just say it Brian…just say it,” Justin hoped.

But Brian just stood there. Justin choked as numbness overpowered him; he took Ethan’s hand. It was time to move on…

TIMELINE: Post Episode 220

It’s the first day since Justin’s been gone. The pristine loft’s all to himself again. It’s heavenly quiet, but it feels like hell. Anywhere he turned, there he was; young, blond, beautiful… He ached inside for him.

A body lying next to him moved. “Get out,” he told the man coldly as he got out of bed; the same man he danced with last night after Justin left with his new lover.

“Wha-?”

“Get the FUCK out!”

The man hurriedly left, cursing him under his breath. Brian lit a cigarette; felt a tear coming, but he didn’t let it fall.

CONDOMS: One for Kinney, the other one for Sunshine.

He couldn’t fall asleep. He wanted his warmth, needed his heat. 
‘Come home, Justin…’ 
Tonight is the beginning of the end. 
‘He loves me…in ways that you can’t.’ His words dug holes in his brain, punctured his chest and…whatever lies within. 
‘It’s not three yet.’ He hoped. 
He heard the door opening and closing. Brian waited in the dark, footsteps echoed as Justin walked towards the bedroom. Brian watched as he undressed, then made a room in bed for him. As he wrapped his arm around Justin he thought, ‘He’s not with me anymore…I’m losing him…’ and closed his eyes.

~~~~

He opened the door. The quietness of the loft is insanely deafening. The blue lights above the bed that is usually on is now off he noticed. Cold sensation washed over him. He walked towards the bedroom; he’s still up. Their eyes met. 
Tonight’s the beginning of the end.
‘In ways that I won’t,’ was his reply to him earlier. His words dug holes in his brain, punctured his heart…
He took his clothes off. Brian pulled the covers for him; he crawled in bed with him. As Brian wrapped his arm around him, he thought, ‘I’m leaving him…I’m leaving…’

Another condom for Kinney.

It’s his first night away from home. Away from Brian. The body that’s laying next to him is so familiar and yet so strange. No leg nor arm over him. No hard hand on his nape. No hazel eyes to watch over him as he drifts into a slumber.

Tonight he listens to a steady breathing instead of the ‘funny-little-wheeze’ due to a deviated septum according to Michael. He smiled in the dark, turned to the person next to him; funny thoughts of Michael in his head, when he realized who he’s with. A single tear rolled down his cheek…

TIMELINE: Filler for Episode 110.

Five pairs of eyes stared at Brian’s Jeep.

“I guess one of us will have to walk back to Pittsburgh,” Brian said. “Any volunteers? Ted?”

Ted gave him a fuck-you-Kinney look.

“Who’s driving?” Justin asked.

“Fine! I’ll drive!” Mikey wasn’t too happy. “Emmett, Ted, take the backseat again..”

“Sunshine, ready for a BUMPY ride?” Brian grinned. Michael rolled his eyes.

“I don’t know which is worst, driving for five hours straight or watching you two suck each other’s face off.” Justin sat on Brian’s lap as they make-out.

“Em, do you have a camera?” Ted nudged Emmett who was half-asleep.

Kinney owns me this week. Condom goes to the King of Denial.

He smelled the bouquet; so vibrant. So red….just like how he feels inside.

“Shall I wrap them for ya?” Asked the old florist. He looked at the old man then back to the open petals staring at him. Sunshine would be thrilled. He know he’d be happy…

But a more powerful emotion washed all his good thoughts. On his hand all he see is a bleeding heart. How do you handle such feeling? Such fear?

“No thanks.” He firmly answered then walked away.

Condom goes to Kinney

Justin’s leaving. He’s prepared for it. But not from the pain. He stepped on the dance floor, and there he was; his full lips he knew so well touching another guy’s.

He took his mask off. For a few seconds he revealed himself, he let the pain bathe him.

Their eyes met. ‘I do love you…more than anything…’ He wanted to tell him but instead he hid behind Rage‘s mask; tough and powerful.

He will dance the pain away.

Sharp knives cutting him from the inside out; but he will not let him see it. He will not let it.

EPISODE: 206 

There are two things in this world that terrifies Emmett: bris (well at least , the ‘welcoming part’), and, yes, Zach O’Toole (at least his ’tool’). He didn’t tell Mikey and Ted, but the night he met Zach, he fell right on the floor like a sack of dirty jock-straps.

“Ohmygod! You ARE Zach O’Toole!” He exclaimed as he regained consciousness.

“Well, this is a first,” replied Zach who was sitting right next to him on the floor, fanning his humongous hands over Emmett's face. “Usually my cock’s inside a mouth before someone passes out.”

Emmett swallowed and blacked-out again.
