Chapter One: A Little Domestic
"No, leave me alone" he heard someone whine "come on, you need to turn the TV off and come eat your breakfast so I can get going" another voice tried to reason "no!" the first voice insisted, Brian heard the second voice sigh and mutter something he couldn't quite make out.
Brian rolled over and opened his eyes when he sensed his partner standing by the bed, the younger man sighed exasperatedly and said to his lover "I give up, he doesn't want to listen to me, maybe he'll listen to you" he spoke the last part pointedly, Brian groaned, the last thing he wanted to do was to get out of bed and have to deal with his obviously grumpy son.
"Please Brian, I'm tired and running late, if I don't leave soon I'll miss my flight" the blond said trying to coax his partner out of bed so he could leave, he had a flight to Los Angeles in a few hours and he really didn't want to miss it. Justin knew that Brian wasn't exactly looking forward to spending a week looking after Gus on his own, but that was just what he was going to have to do, the eight year old was living with them for a month and a half while his Mothers got things sorted out in Canada for the move back to Pittsburgh, they had moved there when Gus was a preschooler, but had recently decided to move back, giving the nine year old and his little sister more time with their respective Fathers.
Grudgingly Brian got himself out of bed, pulled a pair of jeans on and made his way into the living area of the house he and Justin had bought the year before, Justin had insisted that they needed more room so that Gus could have a room and space for any future children something that Brian had been set against, but Justin had eventually won him over, this was in fact the very reason the younger man was heading to California, that was where the surrogate who was carrying their babies lived and the twins were due any day now.
Not wanting Gus to miss any school, they had decided that Justin would go alone while Brian stayed behind to work and look after his son. Gus was lying on the couch, his feet kicking as he watched the TV an activity he was absolutely fond of, Brian walked up behind the couch he lent down and swatted his son's bottom once to get his attention smack, "Hey Sonny boy, didn't I just hear Sunshine tell you to turn that off?" he asked, indicating the television.
Gus frowned at his Dad not liking that he was going to back Justin's decision that his TV time should be limited and meals should not be had in front of it but at the dining table or kitchen bar. "But I'm watching it" he said, the whine evident in his voice, Brian tried to ignore the annoying whine and replied "Aha well now it's time to stop and eat, we've got to drive Justin to the airport".
The kid grumbled some more but decided after seeing the annoyed look on his Dad's face to turn it off and go and eat his breakfast like he'd been asked many times this morning. "Good choice" Brian said, following his son into the kitchen to have his own breakfast before taking Justin to catch his flight.
