One day after his morning shift at the dinner, Justin was walking home to the loft. Even though he tecnically lived with Daphne, he knew in his heart that his home was with Brian. Which meant that right now, that was the loft.

He was walking home alone, and it was starting to get late. Evening had started to settle over the city, darkness creeping in. Justin shivered. He couldn't quite shake off the feeling that somebody was watching him.

He tried to shake it off as best he could, but walked a little quicker. All he really wanted was to get home to Brian. He hadn't had sex all day, and was starting to get horny. Okay, so he'd started to get horny three hours ago.

Justin got out his cell phone that Brian had bought him, and dialed Brian's number.

"Hey Sonney Boy," said Brian.

"Are you home from work yet?" asked Justin. He knew Brian had a big important meeting coming up, and he'd been working a lot lately, which meant less sex.

"Yeah, I just got home," said Brian. "Do you want me to order dinner or did you already eat at the dinner?"

"You can order dinner," said Justin. He frowned when he heard voices in the background. "Do you have some body there?"

"What?" asked Brian.

"Do you have a trick there, Brian!?" Justin demanded, fighting back tears.

"No, Sunshine! Of course not. It is just Mickey, I promise. He was just going home." said Brian.

Justin sniffled. He knew he sometimes overreacted about things but he couldn't help it. He loved Brian and it bothered him when he made love to other guys.

"Don't cry," said Brian soothingly. Then he lowered his voice so Mickey couldn't hear him, then whispered "Baby."

Justin smiled. Brian knew that Justin loved it when he called him that. Justin had to promise to never tell anyone what Brian called him, but he didn't mind. It made him feel special, like it was their little secret. Yeah he called him twat and sunshine and sonny boy, but he did that in front of other people. This one was all theirs.

"I'm okay," said Justin. "I just wanted to here your voice. I guess I'm getting a little freaked out out here by myself."

"Do you want me to come and get you?" said Brian sweetly. "Mickey just left. I'll come."

Justin laughed. "Oh, yes you will. When I get home."

Brian smiled. "Okay. I'll see you when you get here then."

"Okay. See you. I love you," said Justin quietly.

"Yeah," said Brian. It was as close as Justin was going to get to hearing the words, he knew. "Later."

"Later."

Justin hung up and pulled his jacket tighter around him. He could admit it. He was starting to get really freaked out, and he wished he'd let Brian come get him. Maybe they could have even fucked in Brian's car.

"Justin!"

Justin jumped at the sound of his name. He spun around to see the face of his biggest mistake looking at him.

"Oh, fuck," said Justin, and tried to walk faster, not wanting to talk right now.

"Justin," said Ethan. Justin wished he would leave him alone, but Ethan had been stopping by the dinner to visit every week since they'd broken up. Justin knew now that Brian loved him in ways the fiddler could not, and never had, but Ethan couldn't seem to get that.

"Justin, listen to me!" begged Ethan. Justin sighed and stopped in the middle of the sidewalk.

"No, YOU listen, Ethan!" cried Justin. "I am NOT going to come back to you! I love Brian, don't you get that?"

Ethans eyes flashed. "Brian," spat Ethan. "Justin, you KNOW Brian never loved you."

"Of course he did," said Justin. "He never hurt me like you did."

"I told you it was one mistake!!" yelled Ethan.

"Not that!" cried Justin. He looked around and lowered his voice. "Don't you remember the bruises, Ethan?"

Ethans face darkened. "I never wanted to hurt you, Justin," said Ethan quietly. "Look, I know you don't believe me, but I am still in love with you, Baby. I promise I won't mess it up if you just come back home."

Justin turned coldly on his heel. He had nothing more to say to the man. "I AM going back home. To BRIAN."

"Brian will never make you happy!!" Ethan yelled. "He will never treat you like I did!"

"Thank God," said Justin quietly. He thought it was over. He heard footsteps behind him, but before he could even turn around, his hole world went black.

A/N: Plz tell me what you think!!! XD
