He knew exactly what room to go to, but first he stopped by the kitchen to get some food, easy to eat food, whatever soup Debbie might have and some calm tea, just the way Justin liked it, and maybe a piece of bread with some preserves that Justin used to like. Debbie was thrilled to see him and much to his surprise knew he'd be back for Justin one day. She had seen them together and saw the change in Justin. How is it that the palace's baker saw it and their king didn't?

Brian walked into his room with the tray and was at first pleased that Justin was asleep, then he could put the tray on the table next to the bed and surprise him, but then he wasn't pleased. Justin looked sick, really sick. He was thin anyways, but his skin was even paler than before, not a healthy pale at all. The curtains were still closed, such a shame, he could have used the sun. And from what Brian could notice under the bedcovers, he looked thinner than usual. Well, certain activities were out of the question for a while, but if Brian could convince Justin to come back, then he would wait as long as necessary for Justin to be healthy again.

Brian smooth's Justin's hair back. It's not as smooth as he remembered, but then again, the boy, man, probably needs a bath. He resists the urge to kiss him, not wanting to start anything that Justin shouldn't finish.

"Justin."

"Brian." Oh, how Brian had missed that voice, even if it does sound strained.

"Justin, wake up, I want to see those beautiful blue eyes I've missed so much."

"Brian…I…missed…too…" He can tell Justin is still asleep, and even though he looks like he's about to cry, he hasn't seen anything so beautiful since, well, since he was banished. Maybe he will have to take matters (meaning Justin) into his own hands.

"Justin *kiss* I want you *kiss* to wake up *kiss* and look at *kiss* me, please."

Justin's eyes are fluttering, trying to open, feeling something on his face, and he knows that voice, this is by far his most realistic dream yet, usually it's a distant sound, and this sounds much closer and can feel it too. Oh great, that probably means he's crazy if it sounds and feels more real.

He opens his eyes and is momentarily stunned to see Brian, his Brian, it can't be, he's gone, has been gone for years, he reaches out a hand, assuming it will go right through the most beautiful wonderful apparition he's ever had.

And he gasps and stares wide eyed when his hand meets real warm skin.

"Good day, Sunshine."

"B…Brian…that's really you."

"Yes it is me, I was told some disturbing news and I had to come see you."

At first Justin smiles, then the smile fades and turns to panic and fear.

"No Brian, you can't be here, you were banished, what are you…"

"Justin, you need to calm down and listen to me… are you listening?"

Justin nods, still worried, but always trusting in Brian… always. Deep breath, here goes.

"Justin…King Arthur… he isn't king anymore…wait… let me finish…Arthur…died…I found out 2 days ago when Michael came to tell me, along with the fact that Guinevere is going into a convent and I don't know what's going to happen to Camelot, but I own a small farm house in Scotland, that's all mine and has room for one more, along with my horses and other animals. You need to get better, you look sick and so thin, and I can't think of anything better happening right now than you leaving here, leaving Britain and coming to live with me, for however long you want me."

"I…Brian…I remember Guinevere…saying something about a convent…I don't remember about Arthur. I'd say I wish I did, but he hurt me when he banished you, I hurt so much…good Lord in Heaven, Brian, you're here, I hurt, I really hurt, I don't want to hurt any more, I don't care where we go just take me with you, I can't be without you anymore."

And with that Justin launches himself into Brian's arms, not quickly as he is weak, but fast enough to throw Brian off balance and Brian gets toppled down to the rug with Justin on top of him. They both feel so good in each other's arms that they both sigh. Brian can feel that Justin isn't as skinny as he thought, but it's enough… he needs food, lots of rest, fluids and some sun, and of course, Brian's thinking, lots of love, in every kind he can possibly give Justin.

"Justin, my sweet wonderful Justin. I've missed you so much. More than I thought possible. I love you, I love you so much, I've never stopped and I never will. I am so sorry I didn't come back, but I couldn't. As soon as I found out the my banishment was over because of Arthur's passing I came straight away."

"Brian, I know you couldn't come back, I was so lonely. I didn't know if I'd ever be whole again and I knew I couldn't leave to find you. I love you, so much, it feels so good to be in your arms, never let go, don't ever let go. Please don't let me go."

"I promise Sunshine… forever."

"Forever, Brian… my Brian…my real Knight in, well not shining armor, but you do look amazing with your long hair and beard. One would hardly recognize you, but I will always know you no matter where we are or who is there or what we are doing."

"Your Knight, your Brian…and my Sunshine…once we get some food in you and expose you to more sun light. I'm glad you like my new look, I needed it so I could come back without be recognized."

Brian helps Justin up and helps him back in bed before going to pack all the things from Justin's room they'll want. Brian has Justin pick which works of art to take with them. Oddly enough he only takes a few, one of which being the tapestry of his village from Brian's old room, that brought them together the first time. Brian loads up his carriage with his horses, after they've rested a few hours. Debbie has given them more bread and baked goods and preserves and cured meat than they could use for the next year. Justin feels good to finally be going with Brian. He knew they would never have another reason to be apart. Brian hired one of the ranch hands from Camelot to drive them back, at least for a couple hours (with the driver's horse tied in back) so Brian could have a little private time with just Justin before going home, and what a superb thought that was.

They had both forgotten how good it felt to hold each other, but no more, not once more would they ever allow anyone to come between them. Justin is cradled in Brian's lap, feeling safe and secure for the first time in years. With his arms around Brian's neck and Brian's arms around his waist.

"Now before you fall asleep or I get too busy telling you about my house, our home, there's one thing that I've been wanting to do for a while, and now I finally can."

Justin picks up his head and looks in Brian's eyes, face so close, he can tell before Brian even closes his eyes, but as their lips meet, it's that same shock they got the first time. That sense of absolute right that nothing could ever feel this good, but they do, always have and always will. Justin moans softly into Brian's mouth, both remembering not only the feelings between them, but the realization that neither have done anything even close to this since the last time they saw each other. Justin is moving his hips slightly, desperately trying to find something to rub on, the pressure and anxiety to ejaculate, when he hasn't wanted to for years, he feels ready to explode any second. Brian's not doing much better with Justin moving his hips, which is rubbing his erection repeatedly.

"Brian…touch me…please."

"You as well…Sunshine…been too long…"

"Far…too long."

In no time at all their pants are down, Justin is facing forward in Brian's lap grinding down hard on Brian's erection while Brian wraps his hand around Justin's sex. Panting, grinding, moaning, groaning, they scream out each other's names as an orgasm as powerful as their first time come rushing out of them, over and over, until they collapse back in the seat.

"It feels so good to hold you Sunshine. I love you so much, more than you'll ever know, the past few years have been hard as hell, and I didn't know if we'd be together again."

"This is the first time I've felt safe and happy and pleased in years. I am looking forward to our life together. And I love you more than you'll ever know, too, so maybe we both love each other equally."

"Maybe Sunshine, maybe… but I'm still never letting you go."

And that smile, that sunshine smile that Brian had missed so much, was back, just like that. Brian vowed right then and there to spend the rest of his natural life making that smile appear on Justin's face.
