Epilogue

December 25, 2002 10:52 pm

It had been a long Christmas Day. It started off with breakfast at the Munchers and enjoying a highly energetic toddler who couldn't get enough playtime with his Daddies. It then continued on with a trip to Deb's where Brian continued to complain that his arteries were being clogged. Nevertheless, one stern look from Deb shut him up. Both her and Justin saw his attempt for what it was—an excuse to chow down once a year on fatty food.

Taking a long drag from the stash they were sharing, Justin passed the lit grass to his partner. Partner. The word still thrilled Justin to his core. It was going to be official. That was his Christmas gift from Brian this year. They were going to have official, notarized paperwork drawn up which would proclaim their domestic partnership arrangement. It wasn't marriage, but it was as close as they were going to get for a while. And he was thrilled.

It had been a hard year for the two. Proving their commitment to not only their friends, but to themselves was nothing short of trying. The endless jokes and wisecracks from the gang about their new status proved especially hard for Brian to deal with. His normal pain management of tricks and drugs were no longer acceptable—for neither Justin nor Brian. Both wanted to enjoy whatever time they had together fairly sober and lucid. They had realized life is just too short to waste it on insecurities and fears. So Brian tried his damnedest to be monogamous and remain faithful to Justin. While he faltered once or twice throughout the year, Justin understood how difficult a task it was for Brian. And he wasn't the only one to stray. Somehow they had managed to work through all the bullshit and they were once again celebrating a holiday season together. The second of a lifetime as Justin often proclaimed.

They were currently sprawled out on the bed under the blue lights. They were calming down after an explosive high with a shared smoke. The luminous lights radiating off the Christmas tree spread a warm glow throughout the entire loft.

After taking the last hit, Justin placed the burnt out smoke on the table and turned towards Brian's warm body. He was welcomed whole-heartedly into the arms he loved desperately.

"Mmm…it was a good Christmas."

"Yeah, it was. Especially Gus." Brian concurred with Justin.

"He's hitting just the right age to really enjoy Christmas," Justin let out a smile at the thought of the rambunctious toddler enjoying all his toys.

"I'm hitting just the right age to enjoy Christmas myself," Brian murmured as he slid down to place kisses along Justin's delectable chest.

A little chuckle escaped from Justin before he began to really enjoy Brian's ministrations. He began to let out tiny moans as Brian allowed his tongue to circle gently around Justin's navel before plunging in and out of the orifice more fiercely.

Placing love bites along the lower half of Justin's abdomen Brian slowly made his way down towards his ever more hardening erection. Choosing to tease Justin a little further, Brian slowly licked his way up and down his partner's penis. Enjoying Justin's moans of pleasure and the way his penis hardened more rapidly in his month, Brian continued his slow motions.

"Briiiian," Justin couldn't help but moan out. He was tightening his hands within the blue satin sheets and wanted nothing more than completion.

Enjoying his lover's frustrated state, Brian licked once more along the vein underneath Justin's cock. He couldn't resist the small chuckle and enjoyed the situation even further when the vibrations caused a shiver to run through Justin's body.

Finally taking pity on his young lover, Brian engulfed the head of Justin's cock within his warm and moist mouth. Sucking while allowing just the right amount of teeth to scrape along the sensitive skin on Justin's penis, Brian took the entire cock into his mouth. Justin couldn't hold in the moans bordering on screams as Brian sucked with extreme vigor. Allowing his tongue to join in, Brian moved up and down the hard shaft.

"Bri," Justin gasped out, "Oh, Bri…God, I'm close…so close!" Justin couldn't help but scream out as he finally reached his climax.

Brian swallowed down all that his lover had to offer him enjoying every last drop. After Justin was completely spent, Brian slowly kissed his way back up Justin's chest until finally sharing what his lover had to offer him in a fiery kiss.

"Mmm...Yummy," Brian whispered out.

Justin let loose a Sunshine smile along with an amused chuckle. "Like that did you?" he whispered out.

"Uh huh." Brian continued his ministrations by leaning down and suckling on the feast that was Justin's neck.

"Oh, Bri," Justin allowed his hands to run through the silky feel of Brian's deep chestnut hair. He ran his hands across the broad back until eventually returning to Brian's head to pull him up and into a deep kiss.

"I want you to fuck me…now," Justin huskily whispered out.

Brian let out what could be considered a rare true smile and leaned down to connect his forehead with Justin's. "Anytime." He then placed a quick peck to Justin's irresistible lips.

Taking his time, Brian lowered himself down to the bed and spooned behind his young lover. Reaching for the ever-present lube and condoms in the nearby end table, Brian retrieved the items and slowly got his lover ready. He then sheathed his cock with the condom and leaned in towards Justin. He placed his lips a mere millimeter from Justin's ear and whispered, "Ready?"

Maintaining the quiet that had enveloped this precious moment Justin turned slightly to look into Brian's deep hazel eyes that held so much emotion and quietly said, "For you? Anytime."

"Good." Brian couldn't help but chuckle at his lover's antics in bed. Even in the most serious of moments, Justin could find a way to lighten Brian's mood.

Placing a kiss to Justin's shoulder, Brian slowly entered Justin's quivering hole. Taking his time, Brian slowly slid in and out. Breathing heavily and having sweat break out along their bodies, the two men continued their rhythm of thrusting in and out. Justin gave as good as he got and pleasured Brian which was obvious from the older man's moans.

"God, Jus," Brian couldn't withhold his gasp of pleasure along with the moans that simply wouldn't relent.

"Brian…I love you so much!!" Justin gasped out one last time before climaxing.

The clenching of Justin's hole pushed Brian over the edge and he followed filling the condom to the max.

"Oh, God…that was…amazing," Brian leaned forward once again and placed a gentle kiss on Justin's shoulder. To Justin, it was those small actions that screamed Brian's love the loudest.

Brian carefully pulled out of his lover and tied up the condom before throwing it aside. Justin was barely able to turn his exhausted body into his lover's embrace. The two cuddled down and once again enjoyed the high of their post-coital cuddle. Completely exhausted from the extremely long day with their extended family and the passionate orgasm from their lovemaking, the two finally enjoyed some much needed down time. In many ways, Brian enjoyed the quiet moments with his lover the most. He would deny it to any one who asked, but he yearned for and greatly loved the quiet domesticity and normalcy of these moments. They made him feel the most loved.

Before finally allowing sleep to overcome their bodies the two whispered out some last words.

"Merry Christmas, Bri."

"You too, Jus. Love you," he quietly whispered.

Just as the previous year, the angel, which Justin had given to Brian, sat atop the tree and signified to all who saw it the love and precious family the two had created.

The End.
