Has anyone read a story in which Brian and Justin are living together at the loft (and possibly monogamous), and in which Brian gets drunk, Mikey takes him home and tries to take advantage of Brian's drunken state in order to give him a blow job, only to be discovered by Justin and subsequently thrown out of the loft by a very pissed off blond? For the life of me I can't remember what story that is, and it is really bugging me at the moment.

Molly had already warned him that Craig had already invited himself over for Christmas. Justin was not yet ready to be in the same room as Craig, and he knew without a doubt that Brian felt the same way. He would much rather spend the day at Deb\u2019s. Besides, Gus would be coming, and Justin wasn\u2019t about to deprive Brian of what little time he got to spend with his son. Justin let the phone go to voicemail knowing that his mother would be calling back any second anyway. She never let him ignore her for long. \u201cRight on time,\u201d Justin thought when the phone rang again. Without looking at the display he flipped it open.<\/font><\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><o:p><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">&nbsp;<\/font><\/o:p><\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">\u201cHey mom.\u201d<\/font><\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><o:p><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">&nbsp;<\/font><\/o:p><\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">Justin was greeted with silence from the other end.<\/font><\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><o:p><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">&nbsp;<\/font><\/o:p><\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">\u201cMom are you there?\u201d<\/font><\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><o:p><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">&nbsp;<\/font><\/o:p><\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">Justin heard some heavy breathing before the other caller hung up.

Brian had suggested going to the cops, but then aside from Carl neither really had much use for the cops after the way they had been screwed over after the bashing. Justin figured the caller would either identify himself soon or give up. There was no point in worrying about. Of course Brian insisted that if the calls continued after this week Justin was getting a new number and that was the end of it. Justin had learned to pick his battles, and he had already decided Brian was right. One more freaky call and he would be taking the bus to the nearest Verizon store.<\/font><\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><o:p><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">&nbsp;<\/font><\/o:p><\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">Heading to the diner for his shift his phone rang again.

He felt so many emotions boiling within him. He felt SCARED\u2026 ALONE \u2026 LOST. The one thing he didn\u2019t feel was confused. Oh no, he wasn\u2019t confused. He knew exactly who he was, what he was. He was gay. And that scared him. Not because he thought it was wrong, or was afraid of his feelings, but because he was afraid of what his parents would do when they found out. He had been hiding it for so long, but he was afraid his mother was beginning to suspect. Did he want her to know? Is that why he had been leaving things out in his room where he knew she would find them? Things like his sketchbook? His sketchbook was private, full of his private thoughts and desires. Yet he would leave it out in his room when he wasn\u2019t there. And he had no delusions as to whether his mother went though his stuff when he wasn\u2019t there. He knew she did. After all, he was her son, and their relationship lately seemed to have become strained. He knew she wanted to know what was bothering him, but how could he tell her? How could he make her understand that he would never have a girlfriend, never get married, never give her grandkids? How could he make her understand that he was gay?<\/font><\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><o:p><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">&nbsp;<\/font><\/o:p><\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">And God, how that made him feel alone. He hadn\u2019t told anyone, not his parents, not his sister, not even his best friend Daphne. Sure Daph probably suspected, but he still hadn\u2019t told her. He hadn\u2019t confessed his fears, his concerns, his secrets. Having no one to share these things with made Justin feel isolated. He knew he could tell Daphne\u2026should tell Daphne. She would support him, encourage him. But he couldn\u2019t. Not yet. There was something he needed to do first, find first. But what was it?<\/font><\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><o:p><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">&nbsp;<\/font><\/o:p><\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">He felt so lost. Not physically. He knew exactly where he was. But emotionally he was a wreck. He knew he was looking for something, searching for something. But he didn\u2019t know what that something was. He just knew that something was missing in his life and that he wouldn\u2019t be complete until he found that missing part of himself.<\/font><\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><o:p><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">&nbsp;<\/font><\/o:p><\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">Justin continued walking down the street. There were so many people here\u2026strange people. Why did he come here? What made him think this could possibly be a good idea? Suddenly all his feelings started rushing up and he had to stop. If he took another step he just might collapse under all that he was feeling. He leaned against a post. Suddenly he was surrounded by light. It made him feel warm and safe.<\/font><\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><o:p><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">&nbsp;<\/font><\/o:p><\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">He closed his eyes and when he opened them the most gorgeous man he had ever seen was walking toward him. \u201cOh god, oh god, what do I do, what do I do?\u201d he thought.<\/font><\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><o:p><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">&nbsp;<\/font><\/o:p><\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">\u201cWhere are you heading?\u201d asked the man.<\/font><\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><o:p><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">&nbsp;<\/font><\/o:p><\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">\u201cNo place special,\u201d Justin replied.<\/font><\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><o:p><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">&nbsp;<\/font><\/o:p><\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">\u201cI can change that.\u201d<\/font><\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><o:p><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">&nbsp;<\/font><\/o:p><\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">And looking into the man\u2019s eyes Justin knew exactly what it was he had been searching for.

He was finally home, and his life would never be the same again.<\/font><\/p>&lt;\/div&gt;<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","comments":"https:\/\/nazdre.livejournal.com\/1599.html?view=comments#comments","category":["brian\/justin","qaf"]},{"guid":"https:\/\/nazdre.livejournal.com\/1508.html","pubDate":"Tue, 06 Nov 2007 01:26:51 GMT","title":"loss","author":"nazdre","link":"https:\/\/nazdre.livejournal.com\/1508.html","description":"&nbsp;I just found out a kid I used to know, whose sister I went to school with died the other day. He went to sleep and didn't wake up. I can't remember how old he was, but since I am 26 he must have been around 23. It's so hard to comprehend. This makes the second boy in my life to die in the last year. It totally sucks. I mean, you hear that they didn't wake up, and when they are in their 20s you right away think drugs...but whether or not that is truly the case I don't know. All I know is this is the second brother of a friend to die. The first murdered in cold blood, and the second possibly by his own hand, either accidently or on purpose. I just don't know what to think....","comments":"https:\/\/nazdre.livejournal.com\/1508.html?view=comments#comments"},{"guid":"https:\/\/nazdre.livejournal.com\/1240.html","pubDate":"Thu, 20 Sep 2007 00:44:59 GMT","title":"you know you are obsessed with QAF when...","author":"nazdre","link":"https:\/\/nazdre.livejournal.com\/1240.html","description":"You know you are obsessed with Queer As Folk &nbsp;when: <br \/><br \/>1) The name Ethan starts to get on your nerves <br \/><br \/>2) You work in the Hunnewell Building and you almost tell someone that you work in the Honeycutt Building <br \/><br \/>3) You are watching Newsies and start making comparisons between Jack Kelly and Brian Kinney and realize that they actually do have quite a lot of similarities <br \/><br \/><br \/>These things have all happened to me...is that sad?","comments":"https:\/\/nazdre.livejournal.com\/1240.html?view=comments#comments"},{"guid":"https:\/\/nazdre.livejournal.com\/886.html","pubDate":"Sat, 14 Jul 2007 04:13:11 GMT","title":"Meeting Randy Harrison","author":"nazdre","link":"https:\/\/nazdre.livejournal.com\/886.html","description":"Okay, so my friend Lindsay and I went to see One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest tonight. It was great and Randy was FANtastic! He put in a stunning&nbsp;performance and it was amazing to watch. After, there was a staff party where the cast members&nbsp;came out and greeted the audience members and gave autographs. We got Randy's! We had to stalk him a little first though. He kept ignoring us. Though to be fair he probably just didn't see us as half the audience was begging him for autographs and pictures.<br \/><br \/>We were so scared we were going to get lost and miss the play (and Randy!). We had some divine help in finding the place. We were sent two men during our voyage to help us in finding the theater. So,&nbsp;to the two men who aided us in our quest I just want to say \"We thank thee\".","comments":"https:\/\/nazdre.livejournal.com\/886.html?view=comments#comments"},{"guid":"https:\/\/nazdre.livejournal.com\/733.html","pubDate":"Wed, 18 Apr 2007 02:28:28 GMT","title":"Virginia Tech","author":"nazdre","link":"https:\/\/nazdre.livejournal.com\/733.html","description":"The killings at Virginia Tech just seem so senseless and unreal. How something like this can happen again and again just makes me sick. How the campus police could fail in issuing a campus wide warning and shutting down the campus I don't understand. While the first two deaths were tragic the second shooting could have been avoided. My thoughts and prayers go out to Lynette and Yvonne and Dr. Alameddine, family of Ross Alameddine, 20. I can't imagine the pain you are all going through and the prayers and well wishes of my family are with you. Ross, you were an amazing kid and the idea of you being gone just seems surreal. Know that we will all miss you a great deal.","comments":"https:\/\/nazdre.livejournal.com\/733.html?view=comments#comments"}]}}
