Love Surprises All
Chapter 1: Thinking
Stewie sat in his room contemplating the thoughts swirling in his mind, thinking about the revelation he just discovered. In a way he always knew, he just wouldn't consciously admit it. At night his mind could wander. The dreams and fantasies were just that, stray thoughts that would go away when he opened his eyes and was back in reality. He stared out the window, thinking and thinking. He thought about the one thing that wouldn't leave. He was in love with Brian.
It seemed like a huge, life altering thing. Yet, at the same time, it was almost trivial to think that there was a time when he didn't love Brian. He was always there for Stewie when he needed him. He was a shoulder to cry on, a comforting hug, and the only one who could cheer him up on a bad day. He knew it could never happen, but he always had a glimmer of hope in his heart that maybe Brian felt the same way.
"Well, Rupert, I've thought about this long enough. I must tell him. I need to know how he feels. It's driving me mad. I can't hide it any longer."
Just as he finished the last of his words, Brian opened the door.
"Can't hide what any longer?" he asked as he stepped into the room.
"Oh n-nothing. Nothing at all," Stewie stammered as his face turned three shades of red. "Now get out of my room, you flea-bitten mongrel!"
"Ok. Geez. Don't have a conniption. I'm just here to tell you that dinner is ready." Then Brian turned around and left, closing the door behind him. Stewie turned back to the window and started to cry. As the tears fell, he thought to himself, how I hate yelling at him, hiding this from him. I can't take it any longer. But as strong as his thoughts were, he still could not bring himself to say the words he longed to say.
So, he muttered them to himself. "I love you, Brian. I love you so much." The words were barely heard over the fluttering breeze as a tear ran down his face.
