~~Song is "Last Goodbye" by Jeff Buckley~~
*This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But it's over
Just hear this and then I'll go
You gave me more to live for
More than you'll ever know*
Michael stopped kissing Brian.
"Wait.......what the hell are we doing?" He gasped still trying to get some air.
"Do I have to answer that?"
"Brian, are you even sure?"
"About what?"
"You know damn well what!"
"Michael, I've always wanted you to be......happy, I guess, and now I'm pretty fucking sure I can make you happy, so yes I'm REALLY sure. Sure in myself, in you, and in us"
"You know what you are Brian."
"A lost cause, a hopeless situation..........." He jested.
"You're utterly romantic" Michael stated seriously-with a hint of a smile creeping onto his face ,"And I'm absolutely savoring those words, but do you think we should do this? I mean me and you."
Brian was taken aback.
"What-are you saying you don't want to be with me?"
*This is our last embrace
Must I dream and always see your face
Why can't we overcome this wall
Well, maybe it's just because i didn't know you at all*
Michael looked guilty.
"Maybe that is what I'm saying."
"Don't you love me, Mikey?" Brian sounded lost.
"You have no idea much I love you....."
"Then tell me, show me, something..."
"What about Ben?"
"What about fucking BEN?" Brian calmed himself and sighed "I'm going to leave now, try to forget this ever happened"
*Kiss me, please kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
You know it makes me so angry 'cause i know that in time
I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye*
Brian dressed and then he kissed Michael, thinking sadly this would be the last time he got to kiss him like that.
With a look that said goodbye in so many words, Brian turned and left the room, seconds later Michael heard the front door slam shut.
*Did you say 'no, this can't happen to me,
And did you rush to the phone to call
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind
Saying maybe you didn't know him at all *
Michael covered his face with the blanket. He wanted to be strong. He had almost given in to Brian, but he knew he couldn't not with him and Ben still together, and not with Justin still in love with Brian.
Ben entered the apartment after a late class and called Michael's name.
*Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memories
Offer signs that it's over... it's over *
Michael came out of the room, looking disheveled.
"What's wrong? You don't look so good? Is is, uh, is it Brian?" he asked tentatively.
"God, yes." Michael answered a little angry.
"Wanna talk about?"
"He told me he loved me and...."
Before he could finish Ben cut in "And you're leaving me. I kind of saw this coming"
"What! I'm not leaving..........I thought about it" Michael ended the sentence in a whisper.
"Well then why are you here? You'll hurt me more if you stay with me, I know you'll be happier being with him. So go. Fuck, I'll take you to him if you want."
Michael was shocked. "Y-You'd do that, for me?"
"Of course, Brian's not the only one who loves you, if this will make you happier then I'll let you be happy"
Michael ran to the wonderful man in front of him and hugged him. "I do love you, Ben"
"But not like you love him-I know, so is it off to Babylon to find him?"
"I think so, are you sure you want to come?"
"I need to find a new guy too, you're replaceable"
Michael laughed, he loved how Ben immediately made the change to just friends with one sentence.
He got dressed quickly and they were out the door.
