Chapter Two: A Rude Awakening

Three figures could be seen walking down Liberty Avenue as the sun shone brightly over head and the street was busy with people heading off to work or heading home from their one night stands. These three however were none other than young Mr. Taylor, Mr. Honeycutt and Debbie. They were fine watching with idle conversation until Justin dropped the bomb about his big plan.

"You did what?" Debbie shouted in disbelief as she walked with the other and then stood in front of Justin to get him to hault in the middle of the side walk while Emmett was left to gawk at the plan.

"I'm denying him for a while, that's all." Justin replied. "What's the big deal?"

"Honey I thought you wanted him to get to stop tricking not be pushed into it even further." Emmett said with concern in his voice.

"Guys I know Brian. The minute he knows he can't have something the more he wants it. I need him to get the picture that if he really just wants sex than he can go and trick all he wants so he won't need me tying him down. I've tried leaving him, staying with him, giving into his ways and talking to him about it but nothing seems to be working. This is the only other option I have left." Justin said with a slightly defeated tone as if he was pleading to the world for this idea to actually work.

"Well I hope it turns out for the better sweetie" Debbie told him as they arrived at the diner to serve the customers awaiting a tasty breakfast.

The group went about their usual routines of Justin serving the food, Debbie doing the same and also helping Vic with the food while Emmett sat with Ted and Mel and Lindsay talking about the latest case Mel was heading up. All seemed fine there until a very irritated looking male came through the door of the diner and the group went silent. Brian looked like he hadn't slept at all and tried to walking as calm as possible as he spotted sunshine bent over the counter to grab the next try and do his job. Brian took one look at that blonde boy ass and had to surpress a moan. The kid was going to pay heavily for this little game.

Justin felt a pair of hands yanked his hips back against Brian and heard the husky voice growling in his ear. "You care to explain that little note you left me this morning?" he asked, clearly not impressed with the turn of events Justin had picked up.

"Brian I'm working, I don't have time." Justin said as he tried to dismiss the subject but clearly that wasn't going to be as easy as he had hoped.

"Oh I think you can make time." Brian said as he took the other's hand and dragged him from the diner to the jeep parked out back.

It wasn't long before Justin found himself pressed to the side of the car and Brian looming over him with a very serious look in his eyes. "What is going on?" he demanded, not so much asking but ordering Justin to explain.

"Why are you so upset? I just don't want to-"

"I know what you fucking want Justin, Monogamy! A marriage! La-la-land with a fairytale ending! Well guess what sunshine I can't do that!" Brian shouted, everyone in the diner could hear them clearly.

"And why not?" Justin yelled right back, not being one to let people walk all over him anymore. "I wanted you to at least think about what you did to me each and every time you walk out that damn door to be with some trick. You're telling me I'm not good enough! So if I'm not good enough to fuck then you shouldn't get to have me at all!"

"Justin you know-"

"No Brian I don't know!" Justin corrected him, "One minute you tell me you love me, the next you're fucking some guy in the back room of Babylon or let alone in the bed we share together. You get pissy if some guy looks at my ass while I'm working yet you think it's not right that I get upset when you Cheat! Yes Brian it's called cheating when you fuck someone while in a relationship with someone else." Justin glared and walked around him and away from the car. "But obviously you don't want a relationship so I guess you can do as you bloody well please."

"Justin!" Brian called after him only to get the finger as his sunshine walked back into the diner and got back to work. Brian groaned as he leaned on the side of his car and took out a cigarette. He hated this. He knew the younger boy was right but didn't he see that it was hard for Brian to commit. The kid had to cut him some slack. This had been his lifestyle for the better part of 12 years and now he was to change it in such a short amount of time? He smoked as he thought it over and sighed. He hadn't actually fucked anyone since he and Justin got back together after the engagement fiasco. Sure guys had sucked him off, given him hand jobs and stuff but why was that so bad? "Fuck..." Brian got in his jeep and drove to work, knowing full well his day had gone to complete shit.

Once back inside Justin went back to his work and tried to focus but his mind was far off from the diner or his orders and customers. This was so stupid, why did he even try? Emmett was right. Brian was probably on his way to pick up some trick as he stood here filling up this woman's coffee cup. He tried to hide the emotions clear on his gorgeous face but failed miserably and the gang caught on. It wasn't long before he felt a hand on his shoulder and Lindsay brought him over to the booth where everyone was talking. "Guessing the plan backfired honey?"

"More like exploded into a million piece and shatters went in every direction..."

"Does he always have to be such an ass?" Mel asked angrily as he sipped her coffee and Lindsay rubbed her arm.

"That's Brian for you." Michael said as if the news meant nothing. "Does any of this really shock anyone? Honesty Justin what did you expect?"

"Michael!" Deb scolded and wacked him upside the head.

"No he's right Deb, what else can I expect from him? This is Brian, the man I love no matter how much I hate it." Everyone was quiet for a long while before Justin looked to Deb. "Would you mind if I check out early? I'm gonna go try and apologize for the idea I guess." Justin hung up his apron and got his stuff.

"Ah, ah , ah!" Emmett stopped him, "Not until we go shopping like we planned. Mr, Kinney can wait while we go and have our fun day. Come on." Emmett smacked his butt and took him to the car where Emmett drove off with the boy in hopes of cheering him up.

Brian sat in his office completely distracted. It was a good thing he didn't have any pitches of meetings today. What Justin had said to him was starting to actually impact him. But it wasn't Brian's style to give a shit about other or their emotions. A groan fell passed his lips as he slammed his head down on his left in front of him. "Damn that kid." He said as his stubbornness dissolved and he called up Cynthia. "Can you do me a favour? Get me a huge bouquet of white roses and calla lilies, then get some chocolates too i guess."

"Important date?" she teased.

"Just do it."
