Justin's POV
"I can't believe that fucking prick got us kicked out of Michael's funeral!" Brian said slamming the door.
I agree with him but I'm tired, the whole thing was a mistake. I wish I would've listened to Brian and we'd both just stayed home. As soon as we got there Ben picked a fight with Brian, well actually he started yelling at me. Brian of course stepped in, honestly, I was proud of Brian he tried to ignore Ben. But Ben just kept getting more and more aggressive, so for Debbie's sake we just left.
Brian has been fuming the whole time. Me not so much but that's only because of the anti-anxiety meds I took before we left. I knew I'd need them so I'm pretty calm, while Brian is still ranting I decide to make some tea. After I get the water boiling I take out two tea cups and set them up.
"Angel? Are you okay?" Brian asks noticing how quite I'm being.
"Yea I'm fine...maybe a little mellow thanks to the stuff the therapist gave me" I admit.
He grinds his teeth a little, Brian had accepted that we needed therapy. Although he didn't like the shrink giving me meds.
"You're not having a bad reaction to that shit, are you?" he asks calming down.
"No and I wish you'd ease up, their just to keep me from freaking out every time I hear something. Plus, you know I've taken worse." I said raising an eyebrow at him.
"I know" he said walking over and wrapping his arms around my waist. "I just..."
"You're just frustrated, I get it. I knew Ben was gonna be pissed but I thought he'd be civil. I mean it was Michael's funeral for fuck sake." I said.
"You know what would be great?" Brian purrs in my ear.
"Yes, but we're still healing up" I said turning my head to look at him.
He groans in frustration making me laugh.
"You know your ass is gonna be really sore when we're both healed right?" he asks taking the kettle off the stove.
"That a threat or a promise?" I ask wiggling my ass against him
"Definitely a threat" he said spinning me and kissing me
The kiss goes from playful to heated pretty quickly. I don't realize how out of control we're getting until Brian picks me up and puts me on the counter.
"Whoa" I said resting my forehead on his.
"Come on sunshine we've already broken the rules like three times" Brian said.
"Yea and we've opened your stitches once already" I said.
Before Brian could argue there's a knock at the door.
"Saved by the bell" I said as Brian helped me down.
When I open the door I'm not too surprised to see Emmett, Mel, Linds, Gus and Ted. I'm a little surprised to see Hunter though.
"We're so sorry about Ben" Emmett said hugging me, while Gus ran to Brian.
"Thanks" I said not knowing what else to say.
"Where's Debbie?" Brian asks.
"She stayed to calm down Ben. But she sends her apologies and Chicken Parmesan." Emmett said handing me the food.
"I honesty can't believe Ben went off like that" Mel said making Emmett, Linds and Hunter roll their eyes.
I guess they'd already talked about it on the way up, and I guess everyone was tired of talking about it.
"I know, I mean he's not the only one who was grieving. What an asshole!" Ted said
Well I guess not everyone's tired of talking about it. But I am, so I heat up the food Debbie sent and share with Gus. The two of us along with Emmett and Linds chilled and watched a movie. While everyone else bitched about Ben, he did say some pretty harsh things. But I'm so tired of being upset, and sad, and angry. I just want to be happy now.
Eventually everyone stops bitching and joins us. We all just relax for a while then I wander off to look over some of our wedding plans. Eventually Emmett joins me and we completely lose track of time. When we go to check on everyone their asleep, which makes me laugh.
"You guys should start charging us rent" Emmett said chuckling
"I'm sure Brian would agree with you. I wonder where he went" I said noticing that he's not here
"Well why you go find him I'll go get something to eat" Em said heading to the kitchen
I find Brian passed out in our room with a bunch of papers all around him. I pick a few of them up and notice that their all real estate stuff. A few things about Babylon, from the look of things he's not selling it.
"Don't be mad" Brian says sleepily.
"How are you gonna run Babylon from New York?" I ask
"I don't know I guess I'll find someone to run it for me. Can't bear the thought of someone turning it into a Starbucks or some shit." He said sitting up.
"I get that, what's all this other stuff?" I ask
"Renovations for the new place" he says handing me a paper with the picture of a beautiful building.
"This place is huge, you bought this whole building for us?" I ask in awe.
"Yup but don't worry we'd only live on the top two floors" he said.
"How many rooms?" I ask
"About six bed rooms, two on the bottom floor the rest are on the top floor. There are also two huge bathrooms on the top floor. One on the first floor, which also includes the kitchen, a dining room and a living area. Oh, and there are also two other rooms on the first floor. I was thinking about turning the bigger one into an art studio and the other into a little home office for me." Brian said sounding excited
"That's a lot of space for just the two of us" I said still a little shocked at the grandness of this place
"Yea well with all the sleepovers we're hosting lately, you never know when an extra room will come in handy." He said
"This place must've been expensive" I said biting my lip
"Don't worry angel when you start making all that artist money in New York, you can spoil me too." He said kissing me on the cheek and making me blush
"I'm gonna hold you to that" I said making him laugh.
"So, you and Em almost done planning?" He asks.
"Just about, now I'm mostly focusing on my vows. How are you doing with yours?" I ask.
"I'm done with mine and now that Em is free I can get him to help plan my surprise for you" he said shocking me again.
I haven't even started on my vows and Brian is finished and already planning a surprise for me.
"Should you be telling me about the surprise?"
"Why not you don't know what it is or when it'll happen during the wedding" he said shrugging.
"Well I have a surprise for you too although you won't like it."
"Okay" Brian said warily.
"I think we should have separate bachelor parties and I think we should hold off on sex until our honeymoon. To make it more special." I explain.
I can see that Brian is a little pissed but then he looks calm "fine but I get to plan the honeymoon and make it a surprise" he said smiling.
"Is this some type of punishment?" I ask suspiciously.
"No, it's compromise isn't that how relationships work?" he asks.
"Fine you can plan a surprise honeymoon. You know I'm starting to think that you just like making all the decisions"
"Not true I let you plan pretty much the whole wedding" he said.
"True" I said.
Suddenly he sweeps me up into his lap and kisses me "I can't wait to marry you Justin"
"Ditto" I said gasping for breath.
A/N: I know, I know it's been awhile :)
