Title: Melody Coming from You
Notes: I love this prompt, but I'm finding it harder to write than I expected. Music is so integral to the show and I'm a HUGE fan of music and I've written a TON of drabbles loosely based on lyrics or songs titles...so many that I usually don't even say that anymore in my notes. This one is from The Damnwells song Golden Days, sort of. It's also based on a pic that ![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) besamislabios shared with me this morning. Since it's big, I'll put it behind a cut with the drabble. Also, hugs to Besa for her "not-beta."
And the condom goes to: Justin Taylor.

Title: Musical Pairs
Author: britin1729
Condom: Sunshine “Hey Brian?” Justin called, turning the TV down a few notches. “Hmm?” Brian grunted from the computer chair, where he'd been working studiously for the last two hours. “Know what I realized?” Brian cocked an eyebrow. “I'm afraid to ask.” “We don't have a song.” “A...song?” “Yeah. Like a song that's our song. You know...like couples do,” Justin said the last part quietly, waiting for a reaction. It never came, and after another half an hour, he decided to go out. “Meet you at Babylon?” he suggested. “Yeah,” Brian agreed, then hesitated. “Save the last dance for me.” |

Title: A Major (Pain in the Ass)
Author: britin1729
Condom: Justin
"Whose idea was it again to encourage Hunter to join the school band?” Michael called over the blaring of the trumpet from the living room. “Um...yours?” Ben reminded him. “I hate myself,” Michael muttered. “Why the fuck did he have to pick the trumpet?” “Because he found out Brian hates violin music?” “Fuck that. He's quitting,” said Michael decisively. “I can't take this anymore.” “We can't make him quit.” “The hell we can't. He sucks, and you know it.” “Hey guys!” Hunter called from the living room. “How am I doing?” Ben waited.... Michael sighed. “You're doing great, son!” |

Title: I Got Nerve
Author: britin1729
Condom: Justin
Everyone turned to stare, the delicious meal in front of them forgotten, as the ringer of someone's cell phone disrupted the chatter.
Emmett blushed and cleared his throat, hitting a button on his cell to shut up the musical ring tone. He knew something like this would happen. Naturally some idiot had to call during the weekly family dinner. He didn't even want to look at Brian.
“Was that...?” Melanie began.
“Hannah Montana?” Lindsay finished, fighting a grin. “Gus loves her.”
Straightening up in his chair, Emmett shrugged off their incredulous expressions, trying to appear dignified. “Hey, I got nerve.”

Title: Don't Let it Get Away
Notes: The lovely fun_demented asked for Spring tributes to B/J and I wrote this and posted it at my journal, but she says it fits the prompt, so I'm posting it here too. (((FunD))) No beta, all mistakes are mine.
And the condom goes to: Justin Taylor.
Joggers ran past and kids darted from their parents, running ahead to trail balloons on strings behind them. A tinny tune from an ice cream truck trilled in the background. Brian and Justin sat on a sun-drenched bench in Central Park in spring.
Justin didn’t hear the music or notice the people. He was intent on Brian, admiring the way the sunlight dappled his face as it streamed through the trees above them. His fingers flew across the sketchpad, trying to capture the moment. And when Brian smiled lazily at him, Justin realized it didn’t matter. He’d never forget. |

Title: Siren Song
Notes: For fun_demented. Happy Spring!
Condom: Justin
The music changed, and Brian headed toward the bar, but Justin caught his wrist and pulled him back.
“Dance with me.” Justin wound his arms around Brian’s neck and rained kisses along his jaw.
“I hate this song,” Brian protested, refusing to move.
“I know.” Justin smiled before beginning to sway slightly, constantly brushing his body against Brian’s. Closing his eyes, he threw his head back and rolled his hips to a beat that didn’t belong to the song blasting from the speakers.
But Brian could hear it. As his lips met Justin’s, he was dancing to the same beat. |

Title: It's a New Day
Notes: First drabble in ages and my first with my new name. I don't have icons that work anymore. :-( Big thank you to besamislabios for reading this for me. ETA: Now I have a new drabble icon, thanks to nerilka24! Thank you!
And the condom goes to: The lovely Justin Taylor.
Justin woke up, feeling stiff and sore and out-of-sorts. Without opening his eyes, he groaned and rolled over, grabbing at a pillow. He had an early class, but he needed just a few more minutes of sleep before he ventured down the hall to that cold box Ethan called a bathroom.
He dozed, then was pulled back into consciousness by the sound of Brian’s voice as he showered, singing off-key and sounding undeniably chipper. Justin grinned, remembering the night before. No more violin music, no more Ethan.
He was home. And that was music to his ears. |

Title: Language Barrier
Author: britin1729
Condom: Sunshine
In the beginning, Justin liked that Ethan told him everything he wanted to hear. Somehow, he'd forgotten that Brian said all those things, too...it was only different because Brian spoke a different language than everyone else. Justin also used to like that Ethan bought him flowers...delicate roses to be admired. He'd somehow forgotten that he was desperately allergic, and also that roses—however enticing—had thorns. Justin used to love that Ethan wrote him songs, beautiful compositions on his violin. Back in Brian's arms, every blissful moan, every sultry whisper against his skin...was music to his ears. |
