Author's Notes: I wrote a... I have no clue what it is! and I began to think, 'umm... this would be great as a Queer As Folk fanfic.' So here it is. The 'qaf version' of This Man.
Author's Notes (2008): Now that I'm older, and hopefully wiser, I have a word for this piece: Vignette. The original version of this work was a generic piece I had written, but now, years later, I'm still very proud to see this work as a QAF piece. Please enjoy it.
This Man
Justin wants this man. This man that acts, feels, looks perfect. This man that protects himself from anything that might happen. He knows how the world works. He sees what happens to those who aren't prepared for it to do backflips. Brian's eyes are bored with the knowledge he holds.
Justin needs this man. This man that keeps his hair so short. This man that looks impeccable in cutoffs and ratty tees. He looks too good for wherever he is. He knows he does. Brian's vanity adds to his attitude of not giving a shit.
Justin loves this man. This man that pretends to feel nothing. This man that holds himself aloof from everyone else. He seems so unapproachable. He gives out an air of arrogance. Brian's pride crossed the border into concietedness a long time ago.
Justin knows this man. This man that is flawless, but not taintless. This man that is the ideal of what Justin desires to be. He has been tarnished by the outside. He feigns to be impervious to emotions, but Brian's soul cries more than Justin ever has.
