Title: Creative Break

Warnings: Really angsty in the first paragraph...
Condom(s): 1 to Justin
Creative Break
Brian had barely seen Justin in three days. He came out of the studio long enough to grab something to eat and practically swallow it whole on his way back to whatever had him so possessed. On the fourth day Brian was surprised when Justin, freshly showered and smiling broadly pulled the covers back and joined Brian in bed. “Fuck me.”
“I have a meeting in less than an hour.”
“Fuck your meeting.”
“Finished the painting?”
“I’m nowhere near done. Fuck me.”
“So you’re disappearing when we’re done?”
“Probably.”
Brian shrugged and figured whatever meeting he was missing could wait. |

I.
Michael sat in one of the uncomfortable hospital chairs, elbows on his kneed, his head supported only by his hands as he waited.
He’d been here before. The same gnawing feeling in his stomach. The same feeling of dread clouding his judgement.
Taking a deep breath he glared across the hall at the window to the room where he had spent the past few days. The beeping monitors and steady rise and fall of a chest were getting to be too much. It was excruciating.
“Michael, are you okay?”
“Is he okay?” He asked, looking up concerned. “Is something wrong?”

“Where’s Hunter?” Michael asked Ben, noticing the time, surprised he had shown his face, demanding breakfast.
“Haven’t seen him”
“It’s time he was up!”
He climbed the stairs to his room and knocked loudly.
“Time to get up!”
No answer.
He opened the door.
Hunter was curled up in a ball and moaning.
A feeling of panic passed through his body as he moved to the bed.
“Hunter?”
“Fuck off!”
“Hey!”
“Go away!”
“What’s the matter?”
“I spent all night throwing up!”
“Shit! Is there anything you need, anything I can do?”
“Yeah. Promise you will NEVER cook dinner again!” |

A/N: WARNINGThis is a DEATH DRABBLE
Condom: Michael
The phone rang at midnight waking me from a deep sleep.
It took me a few minutes to realize I was still dressed, on the sofa, not even making it to our bed.
I lifted the receiver.
He had taken a turn for the worse…I’m sorry
Something inside me died at that moment.
I dragged Hunter from his bed, pushing him out the house, screaming for a taxi.
The corridors were devoid of life as I reached his room.
He looked as if he was sleeping but I knew those beautiful brown eyes would never light up my life again. |

Cold!Brian
Justin pulled into the garage to find Brian sitting on the step leading to the door. He was barefoot, his teeth were chattering.
Justin grabbed the bags from the back and looked at Brian. “Did you come out for a cigarette and forget your key again?”
Brian shook his head.
“You forgot your key and your cigarettes?”
Brian nodded, his teeth now clicking audibly, his toes a bit blue against the concrete floor.
Justin opened the door and kissed Brian, yelping as Brian’s frigid hand moved under his shirt. “Maybe it’s time to quit smoking.”
“Or to get keyless locks.” |

Title: Silent Stillness
Notes: pendulumchanges beta'd this for me. *smackles Pend* I wanted to write today and I have a weakness for parallels, so this came to mind, based on "Quiet Surrender" the other day.
And the condom goes to: Brian
The loft was dark and empty and still. Brian stared at the door for a long time, wishing it would open and Justin would come back in, yet knowing it wouldn't happen. He walked to the bar and poured himself a drink, feeling the walls closing in. Sighing, he thought of all the things he could have said or could have done to keep Justin from leaving. But he couldn't say them -- wouldn't say them -- so now he was here, alone again. And this time he knew that Justin wasn't coming back. He closed his eyes against the settling stillness. |

Time seemed to stand still.
I had been playing this moment over and over in my mind since the day I had told him to leave.
Every version was different and they all flooded through my mind, tumbling over each other, as I stood staring at him.
He looked exactly the same as he had the day he left.
I didn’t know why that surprised me.
The steroids had taken control of his mind, which in turn told his body that they were what he needed.
But he was still Ben.
Then and now.
Still the love of my life.

I started the cooking classes. Two evenings a week.
They began as something to fill the empty hours but I soon found myself looking forward to them.
I came home with pages of recipes to try and felt an amazing amount of pride when something turned out to be not only edible but surprisingly good.
I couldn’t wait till Ben came home so I could show off my new talents.
Everything I did or saw I squirreled away in the back of my mind to tell Ben.
He was always in my thoughts.
My belief he would return never faded.

“It’s not his fault!”
“Stop defending him Mikey. He made the choice to use that stuff”
I sighed. I knew that no words would make Brian understand. He could only see what Ben’s actions were doing to me not the reasons behind them.
But whatever Brian’s thoughts were I was just pleased he was here for me at the moment.
This was just the first day of what I knew were going to be many for me to get through alone.
The knowledge that deep in my heart I knew Ben would come back to me would keep me going.

The morning dragged. Customers came and went. I worked on auto-pilot, answering questions, stocking shelves, my mind filled with thoughts of Ben.
I’d picked up the phone a dozen times, my fingers poised to dial his number but always stopping at the last moment.
At midday I put up the closed sign, ignoring the irate knocks on the door.
I picked up my cell, finally finding the courage to punch in his number, holding my breath, not knowing what I would say if he answered. All I got was a recorded voice saying ‘this number is unreachable at the moment’

The shrill ringing of the phone woke me from a deep sleep. I fumbled in the dark, knocking something off the bedside cabinet before finding the receiver.
“Hello”
“Mikey?”
“Yeah”
“You ok…you didn’t call me!”
I sat up, realizing instantly that was a bad idea. My head ached and my mouth felt like it was stuffed full of cotton wool. I took a sip of water before answering Brian.
“Sorry Brian…I forgot”
“Ok. You want me to come over…bring something for breakfast?”
The thought of food made me feel nauseous and I wondered if I was coming down with something.

A feeling of sadness washed over me. We had so much going for us and if it ended up like this it made me feel like a failure. No matter how many times I told myself Ben had made the ultimate decision I knew I would still feel I had let him down. I could only hope he would get the help he needed. If he wasn’t prepared to do that, this was the beginning of the end for the hopes and dreams we had for a future together. Fuck Paul! Fuck this disease! Fuck needles filled with unseen poison!

“So…what are you doing here....Trouble in paradise?”
I expected a smirk to accompany his words but for once it was missing. He knew me well enough to know when to leave the domestically jokes aside.
“Yeah…something like that. I told Ben to choose between me and the steroids…”
“And seeing you are here…and not at home fucking your brains out…I don’t have to ask what his decision was”
The warnings that Brian had given me weeks ago came back to haunt me. I had listened to them but chose to ignore them. Any decisions made had to be mine alone.

Deathly and unwanted silence.
Words were not needed. I had my answer.
“I want you to go”
My voice was barely above a whisper but the shocked look on his face told me that finally something I had said had reached him.
“Michael…you don’t mean that…we can work this out….”
I shook my head, not trusting myself to speak.
“Michael…baby…I love you….”
His voice, those words were almost my undoing. It took every ounce of strength I possessed not to crumble and give in.
“Just go Ben….if…if you decide that what we have is worth salvaging…then we will talk again”

TITLE: "HOLD ON"

TIMELINE: Episode 122, Gap-filler
A/N: I wrote this drabble on October 11th, 2007 and posted it on another community. I asked Happier_Bunny if I can post it on here under the week's challenge and since it is a re-post, I wasn't going to award any condom. Bunny said it's alright to award a condom; I'm glad - Brian needs it this week. This was not beta'd.
For Kinney, ofcourse.
The white silk drenched in blood almost slipped from his hand but he caught it on time.
He looked at Justin, lying on the stretcher.
His grip on the scarf tightens as his grip on hope loosens.
Hold on…hold on…The mantra in his head plays.
The ambulance takes off.
It was the same scarf that almost took his life while he celebrated his birthday…
His death bathed by his young lover’s life.
His whole being’s numb.
Tighter he holds on to the scarf. Tighter he holds on to Justin. Tighter he hold on to his hand, cold; lifeless.
Hold on…

“You are destroying yourself and us, it’s as simple as that!”
“Michael….listen to me….. please!”
I knew if I gave in now he would convince me once again that everything would be alright. He would offer the same excuses I had been listening to since Paul died and he decided that the same fate was going to befall him.
He couldn’t or wouldn’t see that he was nothing like Paul. He had always taken care of himself, done everything right but his mindset was such that no words from me would change it and I knew it was decision time.

“Michael…let’s talk about it”
“No! We’ve talked before. I talk. You listen. Then you just go and do it again. Enough is enough”
The light-headedness hit me again and I sat down. I wasn’t sure if it was due to the blood loss or the helplessness of the situation. I had tried everything to get Ben to talk to me, but he kept withdrawing further and further into the world of steroids. I wanted the Ben I had fallen in love with the moment I saw him back. I just didn’t know if I had the strength to fight anymore.

And the condom goes to: Brian
The loft seemed huge and empty and still as Justin sat alone in the dwindling light, feeling like he was already gone. The walls closed in, confining him to a place he could no longer stand to be. He wanted nothing more than for Brian to ask him to stay and yet there was nothing he expected less, so he packed his bags once more. He’d been here before and just like then, it felt like he’d never be here again. They’d tried it time after time, and everything always came down to this. A heavy stillness, a quiet surrender. |

I glanced at the clock. 6pm and no Ben. So much for his promise to cook tonight.
I looked at the blank pages in front of me, which should be covered with ideas for the next issue of Rage and knew, once again, I would have to explain to Justin why I had nothing for him.
I put it aside knowing that if we wanted to eat I would have to be the one to cook.
I walked to the kitchen, opening the fridge, scanning the sparse contents, finally grabbing some carrots and potatoes and throwing them into the sink.

AUTHOR: Doppelganger44
TIMELINE: 513 - what if.
A/N: I was in my office sitting, bored as always (eventhough there are tons of work to do), when I thought of an idea for this week's challenge, so I started writing it whilst my paper works awaits for me. It is kind of inspired by this ficlet ("The Journey") I wrote for Xie's Justin!Love challege (this is not a repost). Then I read CATCAYMAN's drabble "GONE" and I just got soooo sad *weeps* So, here it is. This was not beta'd.
For Kinney...
He opened his tired eyes catching a glimpse of his alarm clock. It’s 11 pm.
He’s gone.
He buried his face deeper in his pillow; breathing in the scent he had left behind. His naked body felt the chill that was the weather outside – and within him. Today is when it starts; nights will be spent like this - cold and quiet.
Without him.
His fingertips caressed the empty space next to him.
Deafened by the silence that echoes in the loft, he didn’t notice the door slid open. A figure approached the bedroom and achingly watched him.
“Brian…”

“You’re not supposed to leave without telling me.”
“Nuh uh, we changed the rules.”
“How did the walk home go?”
“I freaked out like five times, but I got home.”

Condom Goes to: Brian
The cars from the street below made a muted rushing noise, not that Brian usually noticed. Somehow it seemed to match the throbbing he felt in his head. His fingers moved slowly over the sheets next to him. He left his hand on one spot, feeling any lingering warmth dissipate. When his own sweat had dried, he tried to move.
Hours later, his fingers still absently running over the spot Justin had been, Brian eventually dragged himself up. Walking silently over to the windows of the loft, he looked out, rested his head against the glass, and closed his eyes. |

Michael fought against sleep but it was almost impossible to keep his eyes open. Every muscle in his body ached from sitting, sleeping in this chair.
He shook his head, clearing it, his eyes focused on the rise and fall of Ben’s chest.
The only sound to be heard in the room was the beeping of the machines.
He craved that sound.
It meant Ben was still with him.
It was what kept him sane.
He even heard it in his head when sleep finally took over.
He wondered if it would ever leave him.
He somehow doubted it would. |

Hunter pulled his coat tighter around his thin frame trying to ward off the icy wind. Shadows cast dark outlines over the walls, scuttling noises followed his every step.
His foot came in contact with something unrecognizable and he jumped as a hand reached out for his leg. He kicked it off, ignoring the string of abuse which followed as he tried to make himself invisible in the darkness.
They had said midnight.
Why did they want him?
Would he let them down?
Was it worth the risk?
A scream shattered the silence, making him shiver.
He decided it was. |

Siren’s wailed, flashing lights giving the night an eerie feel. Thick black smoke filled the air, voices drifted, loud and shrill around him but his eyes were firmly fixed on his beloved Michael. Face bruised and bloody, his creamy white skin scarcely visible. Someone pushed him and he turned. Whatever they saw on his face made them take a backward step. He reached for Michael’s hand, grasping it, wondering, hoping he could feel his strength, let it seep into his battered body. Their wedding rings clashed and he let out a moan. He could not, would not, lose him now. |
