A/N This is a shorter chapter and I'm sorry Brian isn't included much at the moment but be patient because he soon will!
Chapter 2
Justin hurried back to Ethan as he tried to forget his traumatic experience with Brian Kinney. He didn't want to think about how gorgeous the man was and he definitely didn't want to think about the possibility of Ethan cheating on him. He finally reached the back stage and spotted Ethan packing up his violin whilst talking to some people that were higher in the music industry and could hopefully get him more jobs and places to perform at. Justin ran over to his boyfriend and almost knocked him over as he hugged him for what seemed like forever.
"What was that for?" Ethan looked at Justin confused. "Is everything alright?"
Justin just looked at him wondering if Ethan really had cheated on him like Brian had said, but as he looked into his eyes he couldn't see anything but love covered with beauty. "Nothing," he lied, "just missed you that's all."
"You missed me? You only went to the toilets, you were gone about five minutes." Ethan stared at him even more confused.
"I know, but I still missed you." Justin looked lovingly at him and Ethan decided to forget about Justin's odd behaviour for the moment even though he knew that something was definitely troubling his partner. "So I saw you talking to the managers, how did it go?" Justin asked eager to change the subject.
"Well, they said they want to represent me and help me become more widely known, play at more venues, that sort of thing." Ethan replied grinning, obviously pleased with the outcome of things. "Only the thing is, I'll be travelling a lot more, going to loads more places and they said that as I build up my representation amongst everyone and maybe become more famous, then I can play in bigger places like New York. So unless you travel with me then I wont be spending all my time with you."
"You don't need to spend all your time with me anyway, and you have to think of your career so this is a fantastic opportunity!" Justin answered truthfully.
"Thanks Justin, I'm glad you're okay with it. I'm still gonna spend all my spare time with you though so don't think you're getting rid of me that easily!"
As they left the building they both walked past Brian Kinney, both noticing and recognising him for different reasons but neither letting on to the other that they knew him or had any connection to him what so ever. Their walk back to their apartment was spent with them talking romantically towards each other and holding hands as they recalled many of the life changing events that had occurred earlier that day. Justin thought about how the strange man at the hall had put so many insecurities into his head about Ethan's fidelity and why he would even suggest them if they weren't true. He also wondered if he should voice any of his uncertainties to his boyfriend just to see if he knew anything about the gorgeous man that he had met.
Later on that evening Justin decided that it would probably be for the best if he told Ethan what had been making him behave so oddly, as if he didn't he would be worrying about it all night and he doubted he would get any sleep at all. They were snuggled up on their sofa just relaxing and cuddling when Justin decided to speak. "Ethan," he began, not sure of exactly what to say, "I met this guy earlier, this stunningly handsome guy." He waited for Ethan to respond.
"Oh?" Was all the response he got from him.
Justin stopped snuggling and sat up so he was facing his lover. "He said that he saw you at one of those clubs in Liberty Avenue a couple of weeks ago."
"What? That's bullshit; you know how I feel about those places. I've already told you before that all I want is to be with you, I don't care about going to bars or clubs so did you really believe some stranger saying I went to one?" Ethan replied a little harshly trying to defend himself but he looked Justin in the eyes as he spoke.
"Of course I didn't, I just wondered why he'd make something up like that if it wasn't true. I do believe you Ethan but I just got a bit freaked out. He even said he fucked you in the backroom." Justin looked at Ethan waiting for an answer and trying to read him, to see if there was any hint of him lying.
Ethan laid back and started to smile his smile that he knew Justin found irresistible. "He did, did he? Well, you know what I think? I think he saw me performing on that stage and wanted me so much that he's trying to find anyway of getting you off of me so he can have me all to himself. He's probably jealous that you have me and he was obviously willing to go extreme lengths to get you to distrust me by telling you that sordid story that is in no way, true."
"Well I'm glad to know that you're still as modest as ever." Justin replied sarcastically. "And I'm also glad to know that what he told me wasn't true, I was getting worried for a moment there."
"Hey, you have nothing to worry about. Remember, I love you Justin, with all my heart and I'm not gonna let some freaky admirer stop you from loving and believing me, even if he was as gorgeous as you made out." Ethan smiled tenderly at his boyfriend as he suddenly picked him up bridal style and carried him into their bedroom, ignoring Justin's protests and pathetic begging to put him down.
"Ethan put me down, seriously!" Justin begged as he grinned and landed as Ethan released him, quickly flipping his lover onto the bed and straddling him, securing him so he couldn't move. "I think after that long discussion and you getting me so worried, I think you ought to make it up to me and show me just how much you love me." Looking at his boyfriend he smiled seductively as he spoke and waited for Ethan to respond. What he got in return was a cheeky grin and suddenly finding himself being flipped back over so now it was Ethan who called the shots. Justin relaxed under his lover's touch and all memories and worries that had been eating at him disappeared as he melted into the embrace of the one person he believed truly loved him.
