~~Song is: "The Boy With The Thorn In His Side" by The Smiths

*The boy with the thorn in his side

Behind the hatred there lies

A murderous desire for love*

It had already been a month and Michael and Brian were still together. And besides the little fights everything was perfect between them.

Debbie was escorted into Brian's office.

"Hello, Debbie. Always good to see you" Brian said with a sickly sweet smile.

"I didn't come here for bullshit, Brian. I came here to talk about Michael."

The smile came off his face. "Mikey's a big boy he can take care of himself and he's got me if he needs help"

"Brian....you'd better listen to me. You and Michael have been together for what-a month now? And it all seems okay, but how long until...."

"How long until what?"

"How long until you hurt him? It's bound to happen, you know that right?"

*How can they look into my eyes

And still they don't believe me ?

How can they hear me say those words

Still they don't believe me ?

And if they don't believe me now

Will they ever believe me ?

And if they don't believe me now

Will they ever, they ever, believe me ?*

"I love him, Debbie" Brian said sincerely

"I know, you've shown that enough, but Brian are you absolutely sure you won't hurt him? 'Cause if there's even a slight chance of his heart getting broken than you'd better fuckin' stop this"

*The boy with the thorn in his side

Behind the hatred there lies

A plundering desire for love*

"I'd like you to go now, Debbie"

"I will, just think about it"

"Thank you" Brian said angrily.

When she left Brian threw a book at the door.

*How can they see the Love in our eyes

And still they don't believe us ?

And after all this time

They don't want to believe us

And if they don't believe us now

Will they ever believe us ?

And when you want to Live

How do you start ?

Where do you go ?

Who do you need to know ?*

Goddamn her, he thought, does she always have to fuck everything up? But she was right, I don't want to hurt Michael.

Brian sat there pondering what to do. He had to end this thing with Michael, but Brian didn't know how to let him go. He'd just have to figure out a way.
