Accomplishments
Brian Kinney still maintained that only accomplishments were worthy of
celebration and not trifling little things such as birthdays or anniversaries.
But like many men who had added wisdom and maturity to their talents as they
grew older, Brian Kinney wisely agreed to celebrate the tenth anniversary, more
or less, of his partnership with one Justin Taylor and the tenth birthday of his
son.
It took little convincing of Brian on Justin's part, a superior blow job here,
an excellent and exhausting fuck there, and then one look from those ocean blue
eyes and it was all over. Brian Kinney knew he was had and in more ways than
one. Brian also knew that he'd be rewarded with endless fucks and blow jobs, but
more importantly was the overwhelming sense of love and contentment from Justin
that wrapped around Brian like the warmest of blankets. It took years of
struggle but Brian finally felt worthy of it, and in his own way, was able to
return it.
For Gus, a celebration of this magnitude was a little trickier. Not only did Gus
have to convince his father that letting him come to the Pitts and stay for a
few weeks was a good idea, Gus had to also convince his moms. Not an easy feat
when one of his moms was Melanie Marcus. Gus had not only inherited his father's
hazel eyes and good looks and was well on the way to inheriting the Kinney (and
Peterson) height, but Gus also inherited the Kinney intellect and talent for
negotiation. Gus was soon on a plane heading for Pittsburgh.
The celebrations themselves were typical, a huge birthday party for Gus and a
romantic night out for Justin where Brian presented Justin with tickets for a
cruise. That night Justin took the word celebration a little too literally.
Brian drove them home and poured a tipsy Justin into bed.
But it was afterward, when the fanfare had all died down that it truly was
brought home to Brian. Gus had one more week with them, Justin was preparing for
a show and Brian was working on a campaign from his home computer. The loft was
abuzz with noises of everyday life. Brian looked up from his computer; Gus was
taking a break from his games of crash, burn and destruction to watch Justin
sketch out an idea for a painting. Justin, with his gentle, patient ways, was
happily discussing his thoughts with Gus. Gus, with a sweetness that Brian never
had when he was ten, soaked up Justin's attentions like a sponge.
Brian caught Justin's eye for a moment. Justin smiled, a smile only for Brian;
the smile that made all the struggles worth it. Brian smiled back then broke out
into giggles when he saw that Gus had caught their exchange and in typical
pre-teen fashion, rolled his eyes and laughed. Justin laughed too, ruffling Gus'
hair before going back to his sketch.
That's when Brian knew he was right all along. It was only the accomplishments
that were worth celebrating and he had the two most important accomplishments of
his life right in front of him.
Happy 10th Anniversary Moonshadow Tribe!
