Part two
"How many years until we get out of high school Mikey?" Brian asked as he was lazily being pushed on the swing by Michael.
Michael looked off into the distance and watched as the sun began its decent "Only a year"
Brian sighed and looked at his best friend standing behind him with his hands on the stained links and put his hands over them "I don't see why you won't just let me drop out. We can go to New York and be Go-Go boys in Chelsea"
"Uh . . . No you heard what Mysterious Marilyn said. You're going to graduate with honors, go to a good college, a university, and then own your own advertising agency one day and I'm going to own my own comic book store"
Brian scoffed "Mysterious Marilyn is a fake fortune telling drag queen from Raleigh. You actually believe him?" he asked beginning to swing himself higher.
"Well . . . Yeah I mean she said that I'd make a comic book and that it would become a movie. A movie . . . How wild would that be?" he asked sighing hopefully
Brian sighed, that was Michaels problem he was too trustful. I guess that why he fit perfectly into the brunettes life so he could keep him from getting hurt by people willing to take advantage of his naivety.
"Yes Mikey but she also said your partner would be some guy named Justin. Who the hell is Justin? Do we even know one?"
"She said he'd be your boyfriend too" Michael added knowing it'd piss him off. Brian had gained a lot of height by then and Michael knew what he was going to do. "Brian don't do it!"
"Dare me?" he asked smiling mischievously as he swung ever higher.
"No come down" he pleaded as Brian slowly stood himself up "C'mon the last person that jumped died"
"That's the thrill of it Mikey" he said "I'm gonna do it"
"No BRIAN!" he yelled anxiously "Please? Okay Mysterious Marilyn was wrong"
"And?"
"We don't know a Justin and never will"
"Okay" he said
With that it looked as if Brian was going to comply and get down gracefully but instead he bent his legs and jumped. Michael let out a high scream as the 6'1 brown haired beauty landed neatly on the ground a few feet away, laughing.
"You asshole!" he yelled pushing him "You could've died"
"But I didn't Mikey, isn't that all that matters?"
Michael looked at him and sighed as Brian slid his arm around his shoulders "I guess so but don't do that again okay?"
Brian pressed a kiss on the top of his head "Okay Mikey"
Michael let out a pitiful groan as they began to walk around the park "Maybe you're right I mean a gay comic book hero in a movie?"
Brian lit a cigarette and ruffled his black hair "You never know Michael, maybe the world will be much different years from now"
Michael smiled his signature bright smile, the one that tugged at Brian's heart strings and one that he felt he'd seen before but couldn't put his finger on where. He tried to think of it as Michael went on about the latest Captain Astro comic book, as he was he noticed a small boy walking around clutching a teddy bear looking scared and trying not to cry.
"What's wrong with that kid?" he asked
"And then captain Astro- What kid?" Michael asked
"That one over there" Brian said pointing at the blonde boy that looked around five.
"Poor thing" Michael said "He must be lost lets help him"
Brian knew Michaels weakness was children, and any other day he would've tried to drag him away and let someone else handle the problem, or stay behind while he helped. But there was something about this kid that made Brian follow Michael over.
"Hey" Michael said "You lost?"
"I can't find my mommy and daddy" he cried "I lost them"
"Would you like for us to help you find them?" he asked
"Duh Michael" Brian said
Michael scowled at him before wiping the boys tears and nose. Brian could've sworn he'd see this boy before somewhere. "What's your name?" Michael asked
"Justin" he said softly
"I'm Michael and that's Brian" Michael informed taking his hand "C'mon lets go find you mom and dad"
"No Mikey" Brian said "When you're lost you stay in the place you were lost at. You don't go looking eventually they'll come here. You were in the boy scouts you know this"
"Actually I got kicked out" he said" But I guess you're right"
Brian stood on the swing and looked around for a blonde couple, he didn't know if they were actually blonde but looking at the child he felt it was safe to assume.
"Where were you? I mean before when you got lost?" he asked jumping down. The boy pointed to the child swings across the park. "So that's where we need to go"
"Okay" Michael said grabbing his bag.
The little boy motioned to be picked up so Brian did so and wiped the snot from his nose. "Don't worry snotty, we'll find them" he reassured in the most caring tone he'd probably ever spoken in, and tickled the child's stomach. For the first time he smiled. His smile was bright and amazing and now Brian remembered or at least he thought he did. Could he be that baby? There were millions of blonde babies in Pittsburgh, this couldn't be him? Could it? They were over by the swings in no time, Brian placed Justin on one and gently began to push him while Michael surveyed people.
"I think we should go looking Brian it's going to be really dark soon" Michael suggested
"I don't like the dark!" Justin announced tears springing to those crystal blue eyes of his "I WANT MY MOMMY!"
"Great going Mikey" Brian snapped not wanting to deal with the crying and snot that had finally stopped before Michael said anything. "If you wanna look go and look"
"Okay" he said running off in the distance while Brian took to comforting the child, even though nurturing and things associated with it wasn't his thing. He was getting nowhere fast before he noticed the child's stuffed bear lying in the sand.
"This yours?" he asked
"Yeah" he said instantly stopping his tears
Brian looked over it and had to admit it was cute. "He got a name?"
"Gus" he said
"Gus hmm?" he said "Well Gus says that if you stop crying right now Mikey will come around the corner with your parents any minute now"
"They will!" he asked enthusiastically
"Yeah, So are you going to do it?"
Justin nodded furiously and took the teddy into his arms and hugged it tightly. Brian pinched his cheek then went about pushing him again, he seemed to enjoy going higher and higher and asking questions even though it'd be a cold day in hell before he admitted it, he enjoyed doing pushing him and answering his cute questions. Finally ten minutes later when the street lights were coming on Michael ran over to them with a couple, a tall blonde woman and a light brown haired man.
"MOMMY!" Justin screamed just about to fall out of the swing. Brian took the liberty of doing so before he hurt himself. When he got a look at the woman himself he instantly knew that this Justin was the same one he'd held when he was twelve years old and that the woman crying and cradling him was Jennifer. He remembered she'd brought him pizza that day nearly five years ago. He remembered so vividly because after Jack had tore him away from his conversation with her he'd put him in the hospital that night. It was clear while she was thanking them that she didn't remember him but he sure as hell remembered her.
"Thank you, Thank you!" she cried again and again clutching Justin as he clutched back.
"Thank you boys" The man, obviously his father said shaking hands with both of them.
"I only took my eyes off of him for a second" she sobbed trying to explain. The man tried to comfort her as Brian and Michael stood there uncomfortably. Once the tears were dry she got up to thank them again.
"Here boys" she said taking out two twenty dollar bills and handing it to them.
"Oh no I couldn't" Michael said giving her back the money but Brian thanked her and pocketed his.
"I insist, you boys are great it was nice of you to step up and help out our son" She then hugged both of them, tightly and with a final thank you and goodbye they were off walking away looking like the worlds most perfect couple. Brian watched them as they got into their car and drove off while Michael congratulated himself and Brian for a good deed well done. But as Michael began to talk fast about heading to the comic book store before it closed only one word repeated itself in Brian's mind: Sunshine.
