Previously on Queer as Folk: Justin comes back from New York and Surprise's Brian

Brian arrived back at the Loft around seven. Justin was sitting on the floor in the living room sketching out the loft. He was smiling for the first time in 6 months. Brian smiled and walked up behind him and kissed his cheek pulling Justin's headphones out of his ears "I brought dinner from Debbie. She says you look to skinny" Brian laughed as Justin got up and kissed him walking with him to sit down at the table. Brian grabbed plates and set up the table and Justin started to serve them. Smiling he sat down across the table. Brian shook his head and walked over to Justin pulling him out of the chair he moved him closer. "We are not strangers we won't eat like strangers" Brian sat down and started to eat the tuna casserole. Justin looked down and stopped eating.

"I missed you "He whispered for the first time in a long time.

"you to" Brian said looking at him eating slowly. Justin shook his head and laughed and started eating.

"I find it amazing that I have only been back for a day and it's like I never left. I've been Miserable without you but everyone tells me you're at Babylon every night enjoying yourself" Justin said bitterly.

Brian dropped his fork on his plate and looked at him "Well they are wrong I wasn't enjoying myself I was filling the empty fucking hole in my chest" He snapped and stood up walking away "The worst thing I ever did was let you walk out that door and Into New York. I mean for fucks sake I asked you to marry me and we were so fucking close and then Lindsay and Melanie made me feel like crap like you were giving up your dream to be an artist when in truth we could have opened up a fucking Gallery here and I could get the people from New York here and God damnit" Brian snapped throwing his glass across the room smashing it against the wall. Justin didn't notice the glass as he stood up and walked to Brian placing a hand on his chest he leaded up and kissed him softly.

"You were trying to put me first its okay I forgave you a long time ago. I knew it wasn't only your idea.'' Justin smiled and hugged Brian "the good thing is that I'm back and"

Brian cut him off " This time we are going to do it right no screw up's no one getting in the way I will make your dreams come true and we will do it from here and from Britin."

Justin stared at him and stepped back in shock "Y You kept Britin?"he laughed and ran his hands through his hair" you kept our Palace?" He laughed in disbelief

"I figured I already bought it why not keep it I mean I knew that I would come for you eventually. It hurt too much to be without you and you loved it so I kept it" Brian looked down and pulled Justin close kissing him. Justin moaned and backed them up into the bedroom.

Brian smirked and started to undress himself as Justin did the same. Smirking that Brian Kinney " I'm a bad ass " Smirk. He took Justin into his arms and made slow passionate love to him. Brian would never admit it to anyone but Justin was the only one he ever was gentle with.

The next morning Brian woke up with Justin safely in his arms. He looked down at his body and for the first time he saw the Bruises and cuts that marked his skin. The cuts were really bad on Justin's arms like self-inflicted wounds. Brian leaned over and looked at them more closely and saw that they were in fact self-made. He could tell the bruises weren't though. Shaking his head Brian kissed Justin's arms turning him so that Justin's head rested on Brian's chest. "Damnit Justin " He whispered closing his eyes he fell back asleep knowing Justin was safe with him.

Justin woke up a bit later and smiled at Brian. He didn't notice that Brian was holding his hand but when he did he pulled away and sat up. Brian woke up and sat up. "I already know I saw them when I woke up the first time around five"

Justin looked down and closed his eyes " It's complicated ok Brian I was in a really bad place after I left here" He whispered closing his eyes tightly " I know I shouldn't have but it was a release from all the pain and it was safer then drugs" Justin looked back at him. "I love you " He whispered tears in his eyes.

" I love you to but you can't do it anymore " Brian moved beside him and pulled him close " What about the bruises.?" He asked looking at him

" I was robbed before I left " He laughs" they only took what I had on me then beat me because I didn't have enough" He shook his head and stood up walking to the bathroom he started to take a shower.

Brian looked down and closed his eyes. It was time he confessed about him coming out. Brian walked into the bathroom and slid in behind Justin and hugged him "When I came out I never told my parents. I told my sister and some friends at school." Brian closed his eyes and kissed Justin's shoulder. My friends turned on me and attacked me after school the day I told them. I was 13 years old and my only friend after that was Mikey" He hugged Justin tighter. "I was scared shitless. I wanted to tell my parents but I knew they wouldn't understand. My father was a drunk who hated faggots and my mother was to Christian. "Brian looked at Justin who had turned to face him. " you're the only other person besides Mikey who knows that happened. The only other person besides Mikey that I trust with my life, Justin you are important to me to important and when you do things like this" He lifted up Justin's arm gently " It makes me want to cry and I don't cry for anyone " he whispered and kissed Justin lovingly and passionately. He pulled him close "I want you to be around for a very long time" He whispered in Justin's ear.

Meanwhile at the Novotany – Buckner residence Michael was pissed off and flaming Jealous. " How could he do that how could he just sit there and take him back like he had never fucking left like he had never hurt him. I swear to god if it was me I would have slapped the little fucker." Michael snapped pacing back and forth in front of Ben who was trying so desperately to understand why Michael was upset.

"Michael Justin didn't leave because he wanted to He left because Brian wanted him to live his dream but dreams change people change. Like Hunter for example He used to be an asshole that didn't give a shit about anyone including himself and now look at him. He's an A B student in High school." Ben said looking at him. " I mean you have to give it to them they have been through some nasty shit together."

Michael looked at Ben like he was going to kill him "Oh sure take the assholes side because he's been fucking wounded. I swear He's only going to end up hurt again. "Michael sat down and rubbed his temples leaning into Ben.

Hunter lay on his bed in his room unable to hear his dad's. Hunter grabbed his phone and called his girlfriend that he had yet to tell his parental unit about because he wasn't sure if it would last. She was positive like he was and he was happy that she had accepted him and his past. "Hey Sarah "He whispered into the phone rolling over onto his side.

"Hey" She responded

"How are you?"

"Good Hunter is everything ok?" she asked sounding worried

"Yea fine just don't want dad and dad hearing me" He laughed

Sarah smirked and laughed "Yea I know how annoying that is"

Hunter shook his head "would you like to go to the movies with me on Friday?" He bit his lip nervously for her answer.

"Hell yea anything to get me out of this damn house" She laughed

"alright I'll see you tomorrow " He whispered

" Bye" She laughed and hung up the phone.

Hunter rolled onto his back and smiled " today is a good day" He laughed getting up he took a shower and got dressed running down the stairs he grabbed his bag and shouted that he was going to see some friends from school.

Next time on Queer as Folk: Justin and Brian start planning the wedding of a life time. Michael and Justin fight. Brian gets angry.
