Disclaimer: Nope Not Mine.

A/n: Mikey, upon leaving Brian and Justin went to the Post Office, and picked up some earlier, more mint conditions of Captain Astro and had dropped them off at the store that he planned on opening at 11. He then just headed over to the diner to chat with his mother and wait for Brian..., and Justin.

Chapter Two: I like this...for once.

Micheal walked into his mother's diner and scoped the place out knowing very well Bri wouldn't be there yet. But neither was anyone else. For a change.

Micheal walked up to the counter and waited for his mom to stop and talk. It didn't take long.

"How is my baby doing?" Deb asked with a motherly concern and a cheerful smile slowly faltering on her face.

"Oh you know same old, same old." Mikey said while hanging his head.

"Well does it have anything to do with that friend of yours, Brian, and his beau?"

"Can I just have some coffee and a side of pancakes with and even larger cup of coffee?"

"Avoiding the topic, classic sign of denial--"

"I'm not in denial I'm lost as to how Brian has changed so friggin much, no doubt thanks to Justin."

"Listen Mikey, I hate to say this, but if you've noticed the change too. And since I have noticed it too and have to admit it appears to be a change that has made that friend of yours more human, more alive--"

"I know but why couldn't it have been me who changed him like that."

"Listen Mikey while your food is being cooked, heed my advice, and just watch it around them. I know you love Brian, but I think Brian loves Justin. You will always be his friend, not even Sunshine can take away all those years you two have been friends. If it cheers you up, Brian does love you, just not that way."

"You done."

"Yep, and here's your coffee and pancakes. When are they coming?"

"How'd you--oh never mind-- um, they said to give them an hour, so about ten minutes." Micheal said while gulping down his coffee.

Deb leaned over and took her son's head in her hands and kissed his forehead.

"What was that for?"

"You are just so Cute." His mom said while walking away to refill other customer's coffee.

~~~~~~~~~~Twenty minutes later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ten minutes after their expected arrival Brian and Justin stumbled into the diner laughing and whispering to each other.

"Well hello there Brian, Sunshine." Debbie said while trying to give her son a chance to compose himself.

"Hello Debbie!" They said in unison and in a sing song tone.

"What are you doing up so bright and early?" Debbie asked while they all headed to the counter where Mikey was finishing his fifth cup of coffee.

"Mikey asked us to meet him." Brian said answering Deb and sitting down on one of the stools to the left of Micheal.

"Hey Mikey!" Brian said while turning to face his friend.

"Did you have to bring him along?" Micheal said quietly to Brian, while eyeing Justin out of the corner of his right eye.

Brian looked to his left where Justin was sitting and busy giving his order to Debbie. Then he turned to look at Micheal and realized something was up.

"Hey Justin order me some coffee, me and Mikey are gonna go talk."

"Sure thing." Justin said while Brian kissed him on the cheek and vice versa.

"Oh going French are we." Deb said while she and Sunshine laughed and Micheal and Brian headed to the back of the restaraunt.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~In the back of the Diner~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So tell me what you wanted to talk about?"

"What's up with you and Justin?"

"Very blunt today are we."

"My mom has it in her head that you love that kid out there." Mike said while pointing towards the door that led back to diner.

"So what do you want me to say?"

"I want you to say you have come to your senses and that you're just messing with that kid, that you don't love him!"

"Micheal, you know me better than anyone, have I ever loved anyone other than you?"

"I used to think not, but lately you two have become inseparable. I invited YOU earlier, not HIM." Just as he said this, Justin had opened the door to find Brian and had heard the last part.

Justin stopped just in the threshold of the door and stared at the other two. His eyes seemed to harden a bit and he turned on his heel and ran from the Diner.

Brian had turned to face Justin and had seen his eyes and was about to go after him, when Mike held him back by the arm.

"Can't you see Brian you've changed? You're willing to sacrifice your identity for some kid. All he has to do is get angry or cry and you run to his aid." Micheal spat out desperately.

"Well what am I supposed to do, even after everything he's still just a kid, and he has a hothead (temper people!) and would do something stupid. I can't just stand around and watch it alright. Now if you'll excuse me." Brian said while jerking his hand away from Mike's hold on his forearm and ran out into the diner looking for Justin, but he had already left.

"Damnit!" Brian swore as he left the Diner.

Debbie had watched the whole thing, and had even called out to Justin as he ran by, but not even two hot nude men could have stopped him. Moments later, Brian had run out, obviously in search of Justin, and after no avail. he had rushed onto the street.

"Uh do I even have to ask?"

But all Micheal did was look at his mother in a pathetic manner and grabbed his coat and headed to his comic store.

"Boy drama," Debbie explained to the other patrons of the Diner and then made a loud sighing noise as she began to serve people again.
