~~Song is "Mojo Pin" by Jeff Buckley~~
*Well i'm lying in my bed
The blanket is warm
This body will never be safe from harm
Still feel your hair, black ribbons of coal
Touch my skin to keep me whole*
Brian was in bed, even though he should've been at Babylon by this time. He kept thinking about Michael.
He didn't want to have to face him, or anyone else for that matter.
*If only you'd come back to me
If you laid at my side
I wouldn't need no Mojo Pin to keep me satisfied*
He wished there was a way for Michael to be with him right now, and for all that had happened would be forgotten.
Because whenever something bad, like this, happened to him his first instinct was to go to Michael, and now he couldn't.
*Don't wanna weep for you, I don't wanna know
I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow
The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow
Black beauty I love you so*
Trying to turn his sorrow into rage Brian got up and threw a glass against the wall.
He stood there for a moment watching the shattered pieces glittering under the lamplight.
*Precious, precious silver and gold and pearls in oyster's flesh
Drop down we two to serve and pray to love
Born again from the rhythm screaming down from heaven
Ageless, ageless
I'm there in your arms*
Fuck it, he thought, fuck it, fuck it, fuck it.
He grabbed some clothes and got dressed.
*Don't wanna weep for you, I don't wanna know
I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow
The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow
Black beauty I love you so*
Twenty minutes later Brian was walking into a very crowded Babylon.
Spotting Ted and Emmet together at the bar, Brian reluctantly went over to them.
"Where's Mikey," he asked trying to sound non-chalant
"He said he wasn't going out tonight-wasn't feeling well or something like that" Emmet answered
"Fuck, just when ya think it's okay to tell a guy you love him he disappears."
Ted walked behind Brian and lifted his shirt, he began examining his back.
"What the fuck are you doing?" Brian asked getting very annoyed
"Trying to find the micro-chip box. I'll turn off the "Feelings" button for you. Are you going to sue whoever turned it on?" He quipped sarcastically.
"Fuck off Teddy, I'll see you two ladies later"
With that he rushed out of Babylon, gaining strange looks from both Ted and Emmet.
*The welts of your scorn, my love, give me more
Send whips of opinion down my back, give me more
Well it's you I've waited my life to see
It's you I've searched so hard for... *
He drove to Michael's apartment.
Opening the door with his key, he silently entered.
Scanning his eyes around the apartment not seeing Michael, he wondered if he was even there.
Looking into the bedroom he saw a figure asleep on the bed.
*Don't wanna weep for you, I don't wanna know
I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow
The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow
Black beauty I love you so
So, black black black black beauty... *
Relieved that he wouldn't have to talk to Michael, he slowly removed his shoes, socks, and pants.
Climbing into bed next to Michael, Brian did his best not to wake him up.
Feeling the new presence Michael moved closer to Brian.
Brian held him close and tried to fall asleep.
