R.I.P. Paul Walker, Heaven has a new angel
Chapter Four
Dom was looking at Giselle as she tried to worm her way into his life, into his bed but it wasn't happening not now or ever because he only had eyes for one man and that man held his heart forever and always. Giselle had assumed that the lover that he lost was female but she was wrong and he made sure she knew it when he told exactly what he looked for in a partner.
"Starts with the eyes, he's got to have those eyes that look through the bull shit to the good in someone. Twenty percent angel, eighty percent devil, down to earth and ain't afraid to get a little engine grease under his nails."
Giselle had been startled by that answer and Dom was satisfied by that because while he thought that she was just a rebel chick in with the wrong crowd he also wasn't going to betray Brian by proving himself to her or anyone. Dom was a man who didn't care about gender but she didn't need to know that because even he was available both emotionally and physically he would not go for her at all.
Dom left and he drove back to the house. When Dom had started going after Braga's organization the FBI had caught him and offered him a deal. They told him that if he did brought them Braga alive then they would pardon him so he agreed mostly because he knew that it was what Brian had died for but in return they gave him a wide berth which he knew they were only doing because they felt bad about Brian's death. The cross hanged around his neck underneath his shirt and it would stay that way. The cross belonged to Brian because he was the one that held his heart and now that he was gone no one besides him would be wearing this cross ever again. He pulled into the garage and was suspicious of the two cars out front that he had never seen before so he walked into the house. There in his living room stood Brian's best friend Roman Pierce and a man he had never seen before. He had never met the men but he had talked to the one man on the phone when he had answered Brian's phone for him. He remembered that conversation like it was yesterday.
"Brian," Dom said signaling that it was him and that he was safe.
"No I'm not Brian I'm his best friend and you and I need to have a little talk asshole," a voice stated, "You listen good here buddy. I saw Brian months ago after you had left when we worked to bring down Carter Verone and get me a pardon and it wasn't pretty. He was skinny, haunted, and upset. I don't know what happened and I don't care but I swear to god if you hurt my brother I will find you and kill you and trust me Toretto no one will find the damn body."
Before Dom could say anything to defend himself he heard Brian yell and a rustling. He listened as Brian yelled at Rome for interfering into his relationship and that he had no right. Dom laughed when he heard his lover and Rome argue because it was reminisent of the way that Dom and Vince argued. Hearing this made Dom realize just what he was doing to Brian but he had no choice on the matter. He could at least take comfort in the fact that his lover had friends and family around to support him when things went wrong.
"I warned you that if anything happened to my brother I would kill you and now Brian's dead. You better give me a reason not to kill you right now asshole?" Rome growled and the other man clearly his lover by the way the acted around each other was holding him back by his arm.
"Rome calm down man," the other unidentified man tried to sooth.
"Don't tell me to calm down Tej when the man I grew up with, the man I called a brother for almost thirty years is dead because he wanted to bring the man he loved home," Rome yelled.
"You're right I deserve to die not Brian but I can't change what happened, I can only avenge the man I loved," Dom said and this was one of the reasons he didn't like to talk a lot. Dom wasn't a man of words but of actions and usually Brian was there to buffer any misinterpretations that his actions caused but because Braga the blonde was gone leaving a black hole in everyone's life.
"So who killed him?" Rome asked looking him in the eye.
"Brian made a deal with the FBI. He would help them take down Braga, a drug dealer, and they would pardon Dom. We don't know what happened all we know is that something went wrong. Dom's infiltrated the group and the FBI told him that if he brings in Braga alive he gets a pardon," Mia said walking to stand beside her brother.
"Braga won't be going in alive Mia," Dom said not looking at her.
"But Dom," Mia tried to argue.
"Don't Mia. He killed Brian and if anyone thinks for a fucking second that he is going to just walk away from that then they are sadly mistaken," Dom yelled shocking Mia because he never yelled at her not even when he was at his worst.
"Dom," Letty whispered coming up to take Mia in her arms, "Brian died trying to get you a pardon."
"That pardon means nothing without Brian," Dom said and walked away.
Dom was feeling too many emotions to even think about at the moment. He was upset because Brian was gone when he shouldn't be, no the blonde should be here with him and keeping him from doing something stupid not six feet under. He was also guilt-ridden because he agreed with Rome in that Brian's death was his fault. Maybe if he had broken up with the man then Brian would still be here but call him selfish for the life of him he could not let the blonde go even when things had gotten tough. Dom sat down on the bed and took a black t-shirt out of his bag. It was one of the few things that he had left of Brian and he wasn't letting it go. Dom took off his boots and collapsed on the bed, curling around the shirt. He had one hand holding the shirt to him like it was a pillow and the other rested over his hipbone where the scar he had shared with Brian rested. Soon Dom welcomed sleep as the scent of his lost lover lingered on the shirt.
~RIP Paul Walker~
Brian sighed as he looked out over the island. In the past week Owen had moved the team three times before finally settling on Athens, Greece. Try as he might Brian still couldn't remember anything about his life and every time he tried to Owen always interrupted in some way which was starting to annoy him but he chose to keep his mouth shut because there was something about the man that scared him. The first day or two Brian didn't mind all the attention he was getting from Owen but now it was starting to scare him because it was like the man was obsessed with him, like he thought Brian was his and while Brian may not have any memory of who he was that didn't mean he was going to let some asshole treat him like a piece of property. The blonde sighed and ran a hand over the scar on his hipbone feeling a strong connection to it and he had didn't understand why nor did he know where it had come from. All he knew about the scar besides his strong connection to it was that it calmed him down when he would get upset. Soon Brian was going to have to deal with Owen he just hoped it would turn in his favor.
