Brian Kinney couldn't remember the last time he'd felt so loved. Lying in his best friend's arms felt so right and safe. It was almost unreal. There was only one thing that could make situation more perfect. Brian wished beyond belief that he could find the words to tell Michael his true feelings; the words were there, they just wouldn't come. "Yo Bri. What's going on in that head of yours?" "Oh nothing really. It's just that I've been calling your name for the past minute and you seem deaf to my voice." "Sorry, Mikey. I was just thinking." Brian pulled away and sat up "You must have been deep in thought for you not to hear me practically yelling."Michael replied, muting the TV "Yeah. I was." Brian couldn't meet Michael's eyes. He knew that if he did, Michael could easily get him to confess his feelings. "Well..." "Well what?" "What were you thinking about?" "Nothing much." "Ha ha! Come on Brian, it's me. Your Mikey. When have we ever kept anything from each other?" "I'm not keeping anything from you." "Uh huh. Seriously Bri, what is it?" "It's not important." "I'll do this all day if you want. We can keep going 'round and 'round until you tell me what's bothering you." "Mikey." "Brian." Brian stared at the carpet and whispered, "You." "What?" "You, okay? I was thinking about you." "What about me?" "Nothing." "Brian, don't get me started!" "I love you." "Yeah, so, I love you too. That's nothing new. Always have, always will." "No, I'm in love with you." "That's not funny Brian!" Michael exclaimed, getting out of the bed "I'm not trying to be funny." he replied quietly" "Who do you think you are, Brian Kinney? You can't just tell me you're in love with me today, and then decide to take it back tomorrow! Do you understand me?" Brian stood up to face his pacing best friend, "Look at me Mikey. I would never lie to you. I love you. Forever." "Promise?" "God yes." "Good. Because I didn't want to do this until I knew you meant it." With that, Michael engaged Brian in an earth shattering kiss that left them both speechless and weak in the knees. "Wow..." was all Brian could mutter Michael smiled, "And just for the record, I love you too."
