Title: A Healing Hand
Brian woke up first on the second day that Justin was home from the hospital. He made his self breakfast and reheated the soup for Justin. Justin had eaten two of the small helpings which would have been a regular bowl full for Brian. Justin had been feeling a little better, but drowsy which Brian knew it was the medicine. All of them had on it either make drowsy or help sleep. The pharmicist had told Jennifer he couldn't operate a vehicle while taking them. Of course it had gotten the man a look as if he was nuts since Justin was almost too sick to move on his own. He'd been strong enough to walk with some help and the fluid had been almost gone, but driving wasn't going to be on his lists of things to do.
After Justin had taken his pills and eaten Brian had given him the breathing treatment he had to take. Justin had wanted to watch a movie, but he'd only lasted the first fifteen minutes before he'd been asleep. Brian had sat there moving his fingers through Justin's hair while he'd slept for the first hour. He loved watching Justin sleep, it was one of his favorite things to do. He would have stayed longer, but the phone had been ringing. He hadn't wanted to wake Justin so he'd gotten it. He'd talked to Cynthia about picking up some of the ads he'd completed the day before. Brian knew he was going to have to get someone to stay with Justin the following day when he had to give the presentation. The client always wanted him since he had done the first proposal back when Ryder was still there.
Brian worked on some others, constantly checking on Justin who slept without a sound for the better part of the day. The doctor had said it would be better if he slept all he could which Brian had said he would. He had joked he'd tie him to the bed if he needed to make sure he slept. Justin had known he was joking, but the doctor had thought he was serious. He had walked in on them once wrapped up together. It wasn't like Brian would have sex with Justin while he was like this. It wouldn't be any fun if Justin passed out from sex and he had to take him back to the hospital. Also as sick as Justin was he wasn't getting hard any time soon. There life didn't need to revolve around sex just because they could be physical; well when Justin was better.
He had also made those calls to his lawyer and the locksmith. The locksmith had come over changing the one on the loft door. He had also called Matt, the guy that owned the building asking about the front locks as well. Matt was cool and he knew he preferred Justin over Michael. He'd actually asked him why hadn't he thrown Michael out years ago before he'd told him he could change the locks.
He'd had to give keys to the rest of the ones that lived there though. Which he'd gotten done without problem since it was the weekend and almost everyone was home. One hadn't been, but he'd left a note on the front door to buzz him and he'd give him the key. It was odd how people let you know they would take the guy, as in Justin, you were with over someone that had been coming there for years. Mrs. Willows had baked Justin and him a batch of brownies. She had said it was the reward for finally throwing ingrate out for good.
The third thing he had done was think about maybe getting Justin a dog. There were two people he knew had pets in the building. Matt actually lived in the building and had a dog which he'd asked about while was on the phone too. Justin loved Cooper and once when Matt had to go out of town he'd go down and walk him for Matt. Some times Justin would go down to see Cooper even if Matt was home. He had asked if he had to be worried once with Justin always going there. Matt had laughed and said less you think Justin's going to kidnap my dog then no. It was how Brian had found out about Cooper.

Debbie stopped in after her shift at the diner staying for a while. Justin woke up half way into her visit. Brian had helped Justin to the bathroom before he'd taken the opportunity to go to the store. Debbie promised they would be fine and she had managed to get Vic to the bathroom plenty of times when he'd been sick. He'd picked up the fruits and vegetables that Justin liked at his favorite store. He also got him a box of chocolate that Justin always bought when he went shopping. He had the rest of the things they had needed, but he'd wanted more of the vegetables since he'd used most all of them in the soup.
He had also been able to get Justin's lotion he preferred in the type for extra dry skin. He also got some things he'd been almost out of and found one thing he thought Justin might like. Justin loved drawing and painting, but he also had a few of the coloring books with the pictures already in them. He'd use his markers and colored in the pictures at times. He thought it might be nice and he'd gotten one with lots of animals in it. There had also been a fantasy animals one which he knew Justin loved dragons. He'd gone to the art store picking some of the things Justin liked using too.
He knew it might be a few more days before Justin could stay awake long enough to do them, but they would be there at least. Justin would frame a few of the pictures he got out of the books. They were beautiful, but he loved Justin's art work the most. He had a book of Justin's drawings that he had made. They weren't all the ones of him naked either, there were some with Gus and him. He had one of Justin and him, then other random drawings that Justin had done.
Once Brian had gotten back to the loft he'd found Debbie and Justin both sleeping on the couch. The TV was on some random channel with a movie he'd never heard of. He put the groceries up before fixing the bed with fresh sheets and pillow cases. His house keeper came twice a week to do most the cleaning, but with Justin sick he didn't want him to lay on the same sheets or pillow cases for long. He didn't think he could go into double pneumonia now that he was healing, but you never could tell.
When Debbie had woken up Justin had been sleeping away. She hadn't wanted to wake him so she had left without saying her goodbyes to him. She had however talked to Brian about Michael. She hadn't bought Michael's sob story when he'd come whining to her the night before. She'd known that after what had happened the first time that it was possible her son had once again said something that ticked Brian off. With what Justin had told her she knew that Michael had needed to be tossed out again. She loved her son, but it was so uncalled for the way he was treating Justin.
She had told Brian that she supported Justin and him on whatever he decided to do. She wasn't about to tell either one of them they needed to forgive her ungrateful son. Justin had been worried she'd knew when he brought it up. She'd heard the fear in his voice that she might choose Michael over them. It wasn't going to be the case though. She had agreed with Brian on the comic book too. She had read it and had thought that it was almost word for word of Justin and Brian's life.
Since Michael didn't know about Brian planning on buying his share out Debbie said she wouldn't say anything. She did know how to keep some secrets. She knew people thought she had a big mouth and would tell all. It wasn't true though because she still had one secret she carried that only Vic knew about. Brian too of course because he was the one on her papers for deciding things if anything should happen. She wasn't about to leave that in Michael's hands to handle. Her son may think that, but if that call ever came it was Brian that would be getting it.

Lindsay had called feeling better, but still not wanting to give Justin anything she might have lingering. Gus had talked to Brian for a little and Justin too. He wanted to see them both, but they had promised once Justin was better they'd all do something together. Gus had finally been happy with that letting his Mama talk next. Melanie talked to Justin for a little, but when he'd started yawning she'd known he needed to rest. She knew how it was with pneumonia since she'd had it once in college. It had been miserable back then, but she knew Justin was in good hands now.
She had let Justin know like Lindsay had that they did not think like Michael did. They had been at Debbie's the night before when Michael had shown up. They had been stunned that Michael thought he had more rights in Brian's life than Justin did. It was obvious that Brian loved Justin. They had heard from Debbie that Brian finally told Justin. What had gotten them was Michael going off about Justin should have died. It had worried Melanie since she'd been thinking of considering him for a donation. The second he had said what he had she had told Lindsay that there was no way Michael would ever be in the running to share a child with.
If they needed any legal aid on what they were planning on doing with the comic book they could ask her too. Justin had been glad to hear it, but he had also been tired so hadn't said much about it. He'd actually fallen asleep before he'd said his goodbye. Brian had taken the phone telling Melanie that Justin had gone back to dream land which they'd agreed was best. It was also when Brian had let her know that Lindsay's key wouldn't work on the door since they had gotten them changed. He hadn't wanted them to think they were being banned too.
It had relieved him that they weren't on Michael's side. Melanie had actually apologized if he ever thought from something she said that they didn't want Justin in his life. They thought Justin was perfect for him even if there were times Brian wasn't at his best. They could see he cared about Justin which Brian did say he wasn't going to let Justin ever think he wasn't loved by him again.
Jennifer had stopped at the loft while Justin had been sleeping. It was also when Cynthia had come to collect what Brian had finished. Jennifer had agreed she'd stay with Justin the next day for the two hours Brian needed to go in the office. She had agreed he didn't need to be left alone even if he'd said he would be fine that morning to Brian. Brian had been thankful for the food that Cynthia had brought too. He didn't mind soup, but eating it at every meal he couldn't do. Justin had woken up for the bathroom right before they'd left. Brian had seen the slight smile when Jennifer said she'd see him the next morning. He had also been happy to see some of the muffins that Cynthia had brought again. Justin had wanted that more than the soup.

The next person that had come to see Justin was Emmett. Brian had to keep reminding Emmett that Justin wasn't up for being bounced around. Emmett had been so happy to see Justin he'd kept hugging him too. When Justin had needed to go to the bathroom for the other reason Emmett had said he'd do it. Brian had finally given up knowing that Justin wasn't complaining about anything. Emmett had brought over a beautiful quilt for Justin that he'd found in a store. It had so many different things on it that someone had sewn onto it. There had been dogs, cats, horses, owls, and in one spot there had been a pod of dolphins. Justin had pulled it up over his head with a happy sigh.
Brian hadn't known that Emmett had already had the thing washed at first. That had worried him, but when he'd asked Emmett had asked if he thought he'd ever endanger his baby. Brian knew that Emmett wasn't going to do anything to Justin. He was only being over protective, that had been Justin's words. Since Emmett had to rush off to do some other things he hadn't stayed long. He had promised to return and spend more time with Justin. He had wanted Justin to eat up all the food so he'd get ever more better. Justin had been smiling which Brian figured was a good thing. Emmett had also left Justin a new sketch pad in case he didn't have enough paper.
Once Emmett departed Justin picked the kitchen table to eat. He had wanted to sit up for a while somewhere that wasn't the couch or bed. He'd gotten hot under the covers so Brian had let him shower to cool off some. He hadn't even asked Justin about the chair this time he'd brought it in there doing like he had before. Justin had felt better afterwards which he'd enjoyed the massage that Brian had given him by rubbing in the lotion. He'd laid on the bed on two towels falling asleep it had felt so good. If he had felt better he'd been sure to have gotten hard from it.
Brian hadn't wanted to wake him up, but he'd known Justin needed to eat and take the pills. Justin's hand had been doing better so he'd told Brian to fix their food while he got the tangles out of his hair. Though Brian hadn't, instead he had done it which had also felt good feeling Brian's fingers moving through his hair after he'd gotten it brushed out. Brian had spent time massaging the side of his head as well. It had been hurting and he couldn't take the migraine pills he had with one of the ones he was taking now.
While Brian had been brushing Justin's hair he'd asked him if he had been serious about the dog he wanted. Justin had looked at him like he'd lost his mind he was sure. Though he had asked Justin for an honest answer about it. Justin had thought about it before he'd said yes, but they didn't have space for a full grown dog that would be wanting to run around and play. He said he could go back to being friends with Cooper once he was better.
Brian had already figured he could take Justin to see a dog when he was over this. If they got a smaller dog that wasn't hyper or barked all the time he wouldn't mind it around. He had always wanted a dog as a child his self. He'd been told no and the so called dad he'd had hit him upside the head for mentioning it. It would be nice to give maybe an older dog a home. It might be unwanted by someone because of it's age, but they could love it no matter how old it was.

The meal had heated Justin up even more plus he wasn't feeling cold like he had since before Brian had found him. Brian had insisted on putting the fuzzy house shoes on Justin that Emmett had also brought over with the quilt. They looked like some kind of animal feet with lots of fake fur on them. They even had fake nails coming out as if one could claw someone. He hadn't wanted Justin going barefoot or plain socks on.
Justin had put the gloves back on because the tips of his fingers were still cracked from dry skin. Ted had been the one that suggested wearing them after putting on something so it would keep it from being rubbed off. Justin's finger tips were sore and a couple had bled from being dry. Justin had said he got that way in the winter most of the time anyway, but it was worse now. His knuckles had cracked on one hand.
"I want to do something besides sit and lay." Justin said when Brian slipped a fresh hoodie over Justin's head. The one that he'd put on after the shower hadn't smelt like Brian enough for his liking. So Brian had worn one for a while so it would before switching it with the one Justin had on. "I know I can't go outside until I go back to the doctor, but is there anything we can do. I'm sore all over still which doesn't help when I lay or sit." He pouted wrapping his arms around Brian. When he was sick he loved cuddling even now when he was nineteen.
Brian wasn't sure what they could do if Justin hated sitting and laying. The medicine made him dizzy and feel like he was drunk. He kept having to steady him when Justin was walking. He had rolled off the couch once as well thinking he was in the bed. He thankfully hadn't hit his head though. Brian had moved the coffee table after that while putting some cushions down in case Justin did it again. It had freaked Justin out for a few minutes too since he'd forgotten where he was at. He'd calmed Justin's worries before he'd gotten him back in bed after the roll off. They had laid on the bed for half an hour at the time.

"Which do you hate the most sitting or laying?" Brian asked not wanting to keep Justin up too long.
"Laying, it makes my nose feel all stuffy and my head aches from getting stuffy. If I'm sitting up it isn't as bad." Justin said.
Brian had an idea after that going with Justin to the living room. He put a cushion behind Justin's back after he got him to sit on the floor. He'd tried for the couch, but Justin had said it was too comfortable. He would fall asleep in no time if he sat there and that wasn't what he wanted to do. He also knew he would fall asleep instantly if he was against Brian. Brian had given him a kiss saying he would make sure he didn't. Brian picked out one of Justin's favorite movies that wasn't The Yellow Submarine putting it on. Justin leaned against Brian with one of the blankets wrapped around both of them. Justin smiled when he saw that Brian had put on The Fast and The Furious. Justin smiled one of the ones that earned him his nickname which got Brian to smile.
"I thought you'd like this. If you get tired we can finish later." Brian said kissing Justin. It didn't last long since he didn't want him to have a coughing fit from lack of air. It was the first one in a few days. He'd also hadn't wanted to hurt his lips, but they looked better today. He only saw one spot that looked really chapped. He had to keep pulling it out from Justin's mouth because he kept biting on it. He thought Justin always looked cute when he did that, but not when he was sick and could bleed.
"I love you so much right now Brian." Justin said once the kiss broke.
He loved The Fast and The Furious movie and wanted them to make more because it was so good. He might have gotten Brian to go with him to the movies when it had come out in theater. It had been the first public thing he'd done after the bashing. It had been the last night it was in theaters too. There had been no one else in the place which he'd wondered if Brian hadn't have done on purpose. No one knew that Brian had gone with him though and they might have fucked once they'd gotten to the Jeep. It had been funny when the horn had gone off while he'd been riding Brian's dick. He'd been so hard after all the action in the movie. Right now if he wasn't sick he knew what he'd want to be doing.
"You're welcome, love you too." Brian said putting his arm around Justin watching him watch the movie.
Brian remembered going to the movies to see it. Justin had been so happy he'd literally jumped in his arms when he told him they were going. They had fallen backwards on the couch flipping it over. Justin had shown him just how happy he was too for over an hour. After the movie he'd helped Justin take care of the problem he'd had too. He hadn't wanted to admit he had enjoyed it then, but he could now. That night had been one of his better times when they'd known that Justin was going to be okay. This movie always reminded him of that, it was why he had put it on even if Justin wasn't up for sex. It had also been a reward back then for Justin actually being able to go out in public again.

Through out the movie Justin stayed awake even if he felt like he was going to fall asleep at times. He knew the movie by heart since he'd seen it almost seven times now. However, he loved watching it and only with Brian. It was one of the things he'd left when he walked out because it held too many memories. Brian had bought the thing the day it came out and they'd watched it three times. They'd also fucked after the first time then during the second and third times. There were three other times they'd done it as well.
Brian had been glad that Justin stayed awake for the whole movie. He'd seen him almost nod off during some of the slow parts of the movie when was mostly the cops. It felt strange not being inside Justin while watching the movie like he usually was. He knew it wasn't the time and he had noticed Justin wasn't hard. It was defiantly a sign that he wasn't fully recovered yet besides the coughs here and there Justin let out. Brian took the movie out promising Justin they'd re-watch once he did feel better.
Once they got to the bedroom Justin was almost asleep on his feet from the medicine really kicking in. Brian was glad he'd given him the other breathing treatment before the movie. It hadn't been quiet twelve hours but Justin had said it was before the movie since he wasn't waking up to do it in the middle of sleeping good. Brian hadn't argued it was what Justin wanted so he had given it to him. He also didn't feel like waking him up if he was sleeping.
They got under the covers, Justin had wanted the quilt that Emmett had brought, lying there for a little. Justin had gotten Brian to take his shirt off wanting to sleep with his face against Brian's bare chest. He preferred sleeping naked, but Brian wanted him to stay clothed for his healing.
"I promise you the second I think you're ready to go without clothes I'll strip you down myself." Brian smiled moving his hand over Justin's back.
"Thank you for tonight, the movie, even if you hate doing couple things. I'm happy and I know you love me." Justin said placing a kiss on Brian's chest near his heart.
"I love you too, love seeing you happy. You want to do something just ask, I'm learning. Never want you to feel like I don't care again. It nearly cost me you permanently." Brian said.
"I want you and only you always." Justin smiled closing his eyes before he fell asleep.
~TBC~
Thank you all for the reviews and kudos so far more to come Wednesday. Hope you liked the others reactions and decisions on Michael.
