I DO NOT OWN THES CHARACTORS…. THEY BELONG TO SHOWTIME!! PLEASE DON'T SUE ME!!!!!!!!!!
8 years later….
"Dammit…we always say next time and it never works," said Justin, as he tried to get the
water out of his ears.
" Well at least he learned to knock every time now," replied Brian,
" You know…I think therapy is really doing him good.
You know…after the last time…
Yea….
You were right…
it does traumatize a kid…
and I have the therapist bills to prove it…"
as they walked out of the bathroom, a 10 year old Gus greeted them..
" Guys..
My therapist said that if you keep doing that when I'm here…I'm gonna go crazy," said
Gus.
" Oh stop being a little drama princess," said Brian , " grab your stuff…we need to get
you to softball practice.
You were late last time and your mother had my balls on a silver platter.
Damn.
What is it with munchers and softball…I don't get it,"
" Brian," Justin yelled from the bedroom, " Stop queening out and take the kid to practice
already.
Remember what Mel did to you the last time he was late.
You couldn't walk right for a week."
" Yea yea yea…I know…lets go Gus," Brian said.
Before he left, he went into the bedroom and gave Justin a little swat on the ass.
" And I'll see you when I get home."
" I HEARD THAT! "Gus said from the living room.
"Bye." Said Justin.
"Later"
" The therapy sessions are really paying off dad…
Dr. Reynolds said I'm making really good progress," said Gus, on their way to practice.
" You better be making progress," replied Brian, " That guy costs me $500 an hour.
For what I'm paying…
you should be cured by now."
" Are you gonna make it to my game on Saturday?"
" I'll try Gus. But we're really busy at work right now.
But you know that if I cant make it, Justin will be there.
Ok?"
" Ok.
Um dad?"
"Mhmm"
"Is Justin like your husband or something?"
"Um…
I guess you could say that…
but don't you ever tell him I said that.
Why do you ask?"
" Because…
if he's like your husband…
then how come I've never heard you tell him you love him?
Mama and mom say it all the time."
" Justin and I feel like we don't need words to tell each other how we feel.
We just show each other…
and that's exactly the same as saying it."
" Dr. Reynolds says that its nice to hear it sometimes…to reassure yourself."
" Well Dr. Reynolds can suck my di….I mean that's nice.
But Justin and I show we love each other in other ways."
"Like what?"
"Like what?
Have you seen where we live??
I bought those apartmentsdownstairs just so he could have his own studio space.
If I didn't love him would I have done that for him?"
" I guess not"
With that they pulled into the parking lot of Gus's school and parked.
" Thanks dad…I'll see you at four."
"Gus…
Actually Justin is gonna pick you up today so I'll see you when you get back to the loft."
" Ok dad…See ya!"
" Later"
As Gus ran to meet his teammates,
Brian pulled out of the space and back onto the road.
That little talk with Gus had gotten him thinking.
It had been ten years since he met Justin.
And he really did love him.
Maybe it was finally time to tell him that.
