~~Song is "Three Libras" by A Perfect Circle~~

*threw you the obvious and you flew

with it on your back, a name in your recollection,

thrown down among a million same.

difficult not to feel a little bit disappointed

and passed over

when i've looked right through

to see you naked and oblivious

and you don't see me.*

Michael knocked on the door of the loft. There was no answer. He tried the door and it was unlocked.

He walked in a little and called Brian's name. Turning he saw Brian.

*but i threw you the obvious

just to see if there's more behind the eyes

of a fallen angel,

the eyes of a tragedy.*

This, was THIS why Brian had wanted him here? To see him fucking some guy.

Brian looked up from the person he was with and smiled at Michael.

Bastard, Michael said to himself, fucking BASTARD

*here i am expecting just a little bit

too much from the wounded.

but i see through it all

and see you.*

Michael looked at Brian with hurt and more importantly disgust etched into his beautiful face.

Tears that he had tried to contain overflowed, and feeling embarrassed he turned away.

You expected too much-he didn't bring you here for this-just think about it. Michael wanted to scream at his head to just shut up.

*so i threw you the obvious

to see what occurs behind the eyes of a fallen angel,

eyes of a tragedy.

oh well. apparently nothing.

you don't see me.

you don't see me at all.*

Michael left the loft quietly.

Maybe he should have thrown the obvious a bit harder.

As the door to the loft slammed shut Brian pushed the other man off of him

"Leave now" he yelled and the man could do nothing but just that.

Brian didn't know if he had done the right thing by pushing Michael away yet again, but he was scared he knew he couldn't tell him he loved him, what else could he have done?
