Chapter 4-
Um, I'm sorry this took so long. I am a little disturbed because I just found out that my friend attempted suicide. I only found out a few hours ago, and it is scaring me a little. I was thinking he dropped school, but he didn't. I might not post for a little bit, until I know he's okay, and not…you know…
Brian awoke to find Stefan's head on his shoulder. Normally it would be the other way around, especially in relationships where he was the smallest one. He enjoyed this feeling. This gave him a feeling of strength, rather than the normal weaknesses that he felt. He smiled and kissed his lovers forehead. Steve stirred, but didn't wake up. Brian smiled, but gently reached downward and slapped Stefan's ass. Stefan smiled into his sleep, but still didn't wake up. Brian made a face that was a combination smile and frown, but then it went to a huge grin as a thought crept across his delicate face. He leaned down and whispered into Stefan's ear, "Stefie, I'm pregnant." Stefan's eyes shot wide open and he jumped up. "What?!" He shrieked in panic. Brian began to laugh at the sight of Stefan, naked and scared shitless. Stefan realized what Brian had done, and lunged at him, pinning him to the bed. "You little brat!" He growled, making sure not to give the wrong impression. Brian let out the last of his giggles and moved a hand to Stefan's and looked deep into the younger man's eyes. "Stefan, if it were physically possible to have your children, I would do so in a heartbeat." Brian said. Stefan looked at him in bewilderment. He couldn't even speak. This was so, so… different. Brian looked away ashamed. "You know, maybe that wasn't the appropriate thing to say. I shouldn't have, and I'll never mention it ag-" Stefan cut him off with a kiss. Brian whimpered in surprise. He hadn't been expecting this form Stefan! But, it was good all the same. The couple broke the kiss and Stefan sat up and cuddled Brian to his chest, and whispered into his ear, "I want you to have my children." Brian smiled. If only it were physically possible. If only. They dragged themselves to their feet and into Brian's shower. Stefan gently lathered Brian's hair and tilted his head back to rinse it. Brian wanted to do the same but he couldn't quite reach Stefan's head. He put on one of his famous puppy dog pouts and looked up at him. Stefan took pity and got onto his knees to allow Brian to wash his short blond locks. He leaned his head against Brian's chest, both of them content for the moment.
They met up with Steve later that day at the mall. Stefan had agreed to take Brian shoe shopping, realizing later what he had gotten himself into. Good thing they were stars and made a ton of money, because they knew one way or another, they were not leaving the mall without at least one pair of shoes. They walked right past the FootLocker that was there and kept on going until they hit a larger shoe store. Brian skipped happily inside the entrance. "He's just like a little schoolgirl, I swear." Steve muttered. Stefan grinned. "Yeah, but you know he's a good friend." Steve looked at Stefan. "Is he also a good lover?" He asked, softly. Stefan nodded. "The best." Steve looked down, looking a little bit miserable. Stefan noticed this. "Steve? Are you okay, love?" He asked. Steve nodded. "Yeah. I-I'm fine." Stefan shrugged, but kept it in the back of his mind. They found Brian in one of the vast aisles of women's shoes. He was trying on a pair of platform sandals, but he didn't like how his feet looked bigger in them. He discarded them and chose a pair of black platforms, and smiled. They went well with his leather. They'll look good with my *other* leather, too. He thought with a coy smile on his face as he looked over at Stefan who was busy with a rather large pair of workboots. "You know, Stef, if you so wanted that punk look, you could wear that with one of your dresses." Brian said. "Yeah, I know." Stef said, a huge ass grin on his face. Brian rolled his eyes. Then he spotted someone outside the store. He ran up to the cashier and threw down some money. He grabbed his bag and ran up to the pretty blonde and smiled. It was a girl, or at least it seemed that way. "Hey, lovely. What's your name." She giggled a little. "Tanya." She said. "Well, I am Brian, and I'm in a relationship now, but you see, my friend isn't." He said. Tanya looked disappointed. "Which one is your friend?" She asked, looking in the direction of Stef and Steve. "Uh, both, but the short one with long hair is the lonesome one. The tall one is mine, thank you." He said. She gave a disgusted sigh and walked away. Steve knew what had happened, and turned the other way. Brian ran up to his friend. "Steve, wait. I- I didn't-" "Shut the hell up, you ignorant bastard!" Steve shouted. Brian's eyes filled with tears. He had been called that many times in his life, but never by his best friend. He dropped his bag and ran out of the mall, not caring anymore. Steve shook it off and stalked away, leaving Stefan in an awkward position. He didn't know which one to comfort. He decided that Brian would be okay, and Steve needed it. Steve had snapped before, and set fire to the tour bus, but nothing worse than that. Stefan thought about how long it had been since Steve let out any of his rage, any sadness. He ran after his friend to comfort him.
Brian was out of breath by the time he reached his flat. He didn't bother locking the door. After all, who needs to lock their door, when no one gives a rat's ass? He thought, his mind in a blur. He went into the bathroom and stared into the mirror. "Stupid, ugly little wretch!" He growled at his reflection. He then opened his medicine cabinet. He grabbed a bottle of pills, took a few and swallowed. He repeated the action several times, with different bottles until he felt woozy. He stumbled out of the door and fell onto his couch on his stomach. He began to shake violently and then he started to vomit. Oh God! What the hell have I done? These were his last thoughts as he finally passed out.
I don't know what my bud did for his attempt at suicide, but this was the best option for putting it with Brian's story. Please review!
