I DO NOT OWN THESE CHARACTERS…. THEY BELONG TO SHOWTIME! PLEASE DON'T SUE ME!
Aww…here I go w/ the shmoop again…. RATED S/F FOR SHMOOPY/FLUFFYNESS
When Brian woke up the next day and saw that Justin was still sleeping beside him, he carefully got out of bed and went to see if Gus was awake.
He was going to need all the help he could get if he was going to make this proposal perfect.
He wanted to do this at sunset, on the beach…
Basically he wanted to go for the most ridiculously romantic cliché proposal that anyone has ever seen.
This was going to make all other proposals look like crap.
But even though this was going to be ridiculously romantic, it was still going to be in the Brian Kinney style.
He opened the door to Gus's adjoining room to find him already awake and watching Sponge Bob.
It was a habit he had gotten into with Justin.
Whenever he was over, they would wake up and watch Sponge Bob in the morning before he went to school.
"Oh…hey dad," Gus said when he say his father standing at the door.
Brian walked into the room and locked the door.
He wasn't going to take any chances that Justin would wake up and come barging into the room and ruining the surprise.
"Ok Sonnyboy…I need your help with something," Brian said as he sat down next to Gus.
"Sure…what is it?"
" I need you to keep daddy busy today"
"Ok…
Where are you gonna be?"
"I'm gonna be here"
"Um…dad… we didn't have to come all the way to Hawaii for you to bum it around the hotel…
You could have just stayed home and done that"
"Very funny smart ass…
But I'm not going to be bumming it…
I have to set something up…"
" What are you setting up?"
"I'm gonna propose to daddy tonight."
"OH MY GOD DAD! THAT'S GREAT! OH MY GOD I CAN'T WAIT TO
: Muffled yelling:"
Brian clapped his hand over Gus's mouth to stop him from yelling.
"Shhh…
He's still sleeping… and I would like to keep this a surprise if you don't mind!"
"Oops…
Sorry…ok…so what do you want me to do?"
" I want you to keep him busy for the day…
Go sight seeing, go to the beach, go shopping…
I don't care what you do…
Just make sure he's back here at six…
And no later or sooner…
Got it?"
"Yea dad…I got it…"
Ok…now get to it…go wake him up..."
Gus ran out of the room and Brian had to stifle a laugh when he heard a loud groan followed by a "MOTHERFUCKER!"…coming from the other room.
" Brian!" yelled Justin from the bathroom, " we're leaving in about five minutes…why aren't you dresses yet?"
"I'm not feelin too good today Sunshine…
I think it was something I ate yesterday…" replied Brian.
"Oh baby…I'm sorry…do you want me to stay here with you?"
" NO! I mean…no… its ok...I'll be fine… I just need to sleep it off…you and Gus go have a good time."
"Ok baby…we'll see you later…come on Gus!"
"Bye dad…feel better…"
As Gus walked out the door behind Justin he shot his father a knowing look
And suppressed a laugh when Brian winked back at him…
Once the door was closed and locked and Brian was sure that Justin was not going to be returning to the room anytime soon, he started making the arrangements for the proposal.
He called the concierge and made arrangements for a special sunset dinner to be made just for them.
It would be ready and set up on the beach by five thirty.
When that was done, Brian went to his suitcase and opened the flap of fabric at the bottom…
This is where he had hidden his tux.
He called room service and told them to pick it up and have it pressed and that heads would roll if it were not back in his room by five o'clock.
Now that that was taken care of…
All Brian could do was wait…
Somewhere on the island…
Justin looked at his watch and saw that the time was three o'clock.
He and Gus had been sight seeing, they had been to the beach, and they had gone shopping…
Now Gus was dragging him into another yet another store and he was getting damn tired…
It's not that he doesn't like shopping…
Because god knows he does…
It was one of his favorite pass times…
Especially when he was spending Brian's money…
But seeing that Brian was sick back at the hotel mad this little excursion not as fun.
"Gus…
I think its time that we go back to the hotel…
I called dad and he didn't answer so I'm kinda worried…"
"NO! I mean…no…I'm sure he's fine…and there are so many more stores in this little strip mall that we haven't been in yet…."
" I swear to god…
Having two sets of gay parents has scared you for life…
You're starting to become a label queen like your dad…"
"Look who's talking Mr. Gucci sunglasses…"
Justin brought his hand up to adjust said Gucci sunglasses and continued talking…
"We need to get back to the hotel…NOW…."
But Gus wasn't paying attention to him whatsoever.
He was too busy looking at a brochure for a helicopter ride over a volcano…
Great…this thing takes two hours… Gus thought.
"Oh daddy…." He said in a singsong voice….
"NO!
No way in HELL are you getting me on that ting!" Justin replied.
Btu it was too late…Gus was already waiting in line for tickets so he could do nothing but pay for them…
Sick or not Brian…your ass in MINE for this…Justin thought just as the helicopter took off…
Back at the hotel...
Brian was putting the finishing touches on his hair when the phone rang…
" Hello?"
"Dad…
Hey…
Were on our way back to the hotel…"
"Does he have any idea?"
"Nope…
I just have to wait for him to be done puking then we'll be on our way…"
"Wait…
Puking?
What did you do today?"
"We took a little trip over a volcano and he kinda got a little air sick…
Oh…and by the way…we owe the helicopter company three hundred dollars for the cleaning bills…
It wasn't pretty…"
"Oh god…
Well make sure he gets back here in one piece please…"
"I gotta go… the retching stopped…he should be done…see ya!"
Brian looked into the mirror…
Then at the clock…
Then back into the mirror…
It was five o'clock…
And Gus and Justin were going to be back here soon…
He walked out of the bathroom and to the elevator…
When he got to the beach, the dinner was being set up and all was going as planned…
Brian reached into his pocket and took out the ring box.
He opened the lid and looked at the ring…
It was perfect for Justin…
Masculine…but still kinda feminine…
FLASHBACK STARTBrian stepped into Tiffany's and looked around at all the sparkling jewelry.
He had to find the perfect ring for Justin…
It had been sixteen years and it was finally time…
He loved Justin with all of his heart…
And nothing would make him happier than to be with him forever and make it official.
He looked through the glass cases at all the rings, searching for the perfect one…
Then he saw it…
It was a platinum band with sapphires that were the same color as his eyes set in it.
He would love it…
He motioned to the girl to take it out of the display case and he asked for Justin's size and bought it on the spot.
Brian Kinney he thought as of tonight…you are officially off the market.
Brian walked out of the store feeling happier than he had ever been…
He was finally going to go through with it…
And Justin would never see it coming…
FLASHBACK ENDBut that never happened…
The night Brian had bought the ring was the same night they had fought and he had stormed out of the house…
But now it was time…
Brain had told Gus to call when they got back and as if on cue….
His cell phone rang…
It was just a short call from Gus telling him that Groom to Be was now on his way to finding the note and would be there shortly.
He hung up and looked out at the ocean…the sun was about to set and everything was going to be perfect…
Back in the hotel room…
Justin got into the room and all he wanted to do was see how Brian was feeling…
But there was one problem…
There was no Brian…
All there was was a note…
J-
Meet me on the beach at six o'clock
Love B
Huh?
Justin wondered what Brian was up to but he changed his clothes and went down to the beach.
When he got there, he could see a person standing in front of a table filled with food…
When Justin got closer, he realized that it was Brian and that he was wearing a tux.
Where in the hell did he get a tux? Justin wondered.
"Brian…what's all this?" he asked but Brian didn't answer…
He just took Justin's hand and led him to the table.
They ate the wonderful dinner that the hotel had prepared especially for them…
The sun was setting and it was show time…
Brian got up out of his chair and went over to Justin who watched him inquisitively…
He looked into Justin's eyes as he got down on one knee.
" Justin…
I love you with all of my heart…
You are the only person who could ever get through to me…
And you stuck by me through all the crap that has happened to us…
And even when I was being a complete asshole…you never gave up on me…
No matter how hard I tried to push you away and how many timed I told you to just get out of my life and never come back…you still did…
You never took any of my bullshit…
You knew that deep down inside there was an actual person that could love you the way that you loved me…
And from the first time I saw you I knew that I would never be able to get rid of you…no matter how hard I tried…
And now I'm ready to make it official…
Justin Taylor
Will you marry me?"
(I'm literally flipping out myself as I'm writing this!)
Brian opened the ring box and put the ring on Justin's trembling finger.
"Oh my god Brian! YES! I will marry you!"
Justin jumped out of the chair and wrapped himself around Brian.
They kissed and kissed and kissed until soon they were both out of breath.
They pulled apart and Brian opened his mouth to say something.
"Ok Sonnyboy…
You can come out of hiding now"
Justin turned around to see Gus walking down th beach with a big smile plastered on his face…
And then it all hit Justin…
"You knew about this!
That's why you wouldn't let me come back to the hotel!"
"Ding Ding Ding! We have a winner!" Gus said.
Gus went over to his dads and they pulled him into the hug.
They were a family now…more than they were before Brian had popped the question…
And now they were going to make it official…
Guys.. I was literally flipping the fuck out when I was writing this! I hope it made you all squishy inside like it did me….
Next chapter: The announcement.
MUAH! (Hugs and kisses from me!)
