Brian, after lying on the couch for a good ten minutes arguing with himself, came to a conclusion.

"Okay, I'll call him. A call, a nice, 'How are you, Justin?'," Brian thought as he rolled off the couch and stood up, languidly, "What if he's mad, well, he has rights to be, I have to fix this. I made a mess, ruined everything I had with him. Do I even stand a chance against this violin playing fool? Who does he think he is to step in to our relationship and steal Justin away from me?" Brian remained calm, although he was itching to call Ethan and give him a piece of his mind.

Brian walked steadily over to the phone, which lay on his counter. He dialed Justin's number, which he didn't even have to think of before setting his fingers to the buttons. He patiently waited while the phone rang several times.

"Hello?" answered a winded Ethan. Brian could hear Justin panting, and knew what that meant.

Without saying a word, Brian disappointedly hung up. With nothing to do now, he sat down on the couch again, and thoughts of Justin came drifting back to him. The first time they met with their first time, Justin running away to NY when he left Brian's door open and he was robbed, showing up at Justin's prom and dancing with him, all those times visiting Justin after the bashing, Brian neglecting Justin on his birthday and him meeting Ethan.

No wonder Justin was with Ethan and not Brian. Ethan showed that he cared. Brian realized how horrible he had been. Even if something like a birthday was trivial to Brain, it meant a lot to Justin, and Brian could have recognized that and done something about it. He had to get him back, but how. Was he in love with Ethan? Would he come back to Brian? Brian knew he'd come back, he knew he had control over people.

"The only way that I'm going to win him over is if I find some way to get Ethan out of here." Brian thought to himself. "Ethan, perfect little romantic, violin playing Ethan. Then there's me. Successful, hottest thing around, I'm paying for his education for God's sake."

Brian angrily walked into his room, undressed, and after admiring himself in the mirror for a few seconds, clad himself in a typical Brian Kinney outfit and proceeded to the door. He planned to go to Justin's place and to create some kind of scene, which would eventually make Ethan look like the bad guy, then Justin would be his to hold again. The way it should be.
