Make the Wrong Things Right

Chapter 4

Today was the day that Michael and Justin had been eagerly waiting for. Their comic book had arrived fresh from the printers. Justin watched in anticipation as Michael sliced open the box. They each took out a glossy book and flipped through it. They both had matching smiles on there faces. Justin beamed, "This is so cool. I've never seen my work done in print before."

Michael held up the book. "You know how much this could be worth someday?"

Brian entered the shop. He leaned down to kiss Justin before he picked up a book himself and started flipping through it. "You two ready to make big bucks?"

"What if nobody likes it?" Michael asked.

Justin looked up from his book. "Why wouldn't they like it?"

Brian shrugged. "Queers can be vicious." He pulled out two party fliers and held them up. "But they can't resist a good party."

Justin took one of the fliers. The party was to be held at Babylon nine 'o clock tomorrow night to promote the sale of the new comic. Justin threw his arms around Brian. "This is so amazing, thank you."

Brian kissed him softly. "I believe in my investments and nothing but the best to present the comic."

Justin kissed him once more. "I have to get to class." Justin gathered up his things.

Brian called out to him as he neared the door. "See you tonight?"

Justin smiled, "You bet stud, later."

"Later." Brian smiled to himself; maybe things could workout between them.

Justin was alone in the art studio trying to finish up one of his assignments. He was listening to an old ABBA song on his Discman. He hummed softly with the music. His hand flew over the canvas. He was so absorbed in his work. He almost didn't notice when someone entered the room. Justin caught movement from the corner of his eye. He looked up to see Ethan standing there looking out of place and nervous. He had his violin case with him. Justin pulled off the headphones.

"Hi, Ethan right?"

Ethan came further into the room. "Yeah you remember. I really liked your stuff at the art fair."

Justin nodded. "Thanks."

"I know you have a boyfriend and everything but I was wondering if maybe you'd like to get coffee sometime."

"I'm committed to Brian. He means everything to me, so sorry but I can't."

Ethan sighed, "Well ya can't blame me for trying. I'll let you get back to work." Ethan left and Justin slipped back into the groove of his music and art easily.

When Justin got home Brian greeted him by pulling him into his arms. "I missed you."

Justin laughed "You saw me this morning."

"It was a long day." Brian stuck his hand down the front of Justin's jeans cupping his crotch and stroking his cock.

"You're hard," Brian whispered.

Justin threw his arms around his neck and kissed him. "Could it be the reason for that is your hand is down my pants?"

"Probably," Brian agreed.

Brian touched his face gently looking into those sparkling blue eyes. He grabbed him tightly and devoured him in sweet kisses. They pawed at each others clothes, the desire and need consuming them like a flash fire. They dropped to their knees to the hardwood floor. Brian bent Justin back till he was lying on the floor. Writhing on the floor they pulled off the other's clothes. Justin's hands slapped the floor wanting more, needing more. Brian's body covered his. They kissed and groped till they were both panting.

Brian rolled Justin over and brought him up so he's kneeling bent over on the floor. Brian grabbed his discarded pants and pulled a condom and lube from them. He prepared himself then thrust deeply into Justin. The ride would be a rough one. Justin's fingers entwined with Brian's. Brian thrust like a mad man possessed by lust. He was literally waxing the floor with Justin. The hardwood floor dug into their tender skin. Brian reached around Justin jacking him off roughly. Brian heard Justin moan and arched his back shooting his load onto the floor. Justin's release triggered his own. The floor was wet with their sweat and Justin's cum. They lay side by side on the floor panting trying to catch their breath.

Justin groaned rubbing his knees. "Do you think next time we can do it someplace softer? Man my knees are killing me."

"Yeah but I think it was worth it. Come on Sonny Boy, we gotta get cleaned up or we'll be late to the party.

They lovingly soaped each other up. They caressed each other's body. There was nothing sexual about it. It was pure love they had for each other shining through. Brian toweled Justin off, one of his many guilty pleasures that he enjoyed. He loved toweling off his baby soft skin which turned pink from the shower. They dressed in similar outfits. Brian wore all black of the finest silk. Justin wore black pants but his top was baby blue. A color Brian loved to see on him.

Brian reached into his pocket and pulled out a small box. Justin watched him in silent awe. He got down on one knee and slowly opened the box. "Justin, will you stay with me and be my partner? I'm not asking for marriage. I'm not ready for that yet. Maybe some day, but right now I just want you to always be by my side."

Justin dropped to his knees in front of Brian, tears streaming down his face. "Yes, I've always wanted to be with you forever and ever since the moment I first laid eyes on you."

Brian wiped at Justin's tears. "Allergies again?"

Justin smiled a watery smile. "What else could it be?"

Brian took out the smallest ring and placed it on Justin's finger. The Celtic knot ring gleamed even in the loft's dim light. Justin took the larger ring and placed it on Brian's finger. Justin placed a kiss on the ring and his finger. Time stood still as they kissed with fiery passion. Brian whispered the words Justin had been longing to hear. "I love you, Justin."

Kneeling on the floor they hugged each other tight. "I love you too, Brian."

On the ride over to Babylon Justin couldn't bear to pull his eyes away from the glowing band around his finger. He felt if he looked away it might disappear and that this was all a dream. Brian had said he loved him. His body felt warm and tingly all over. He'd always known Brian cared for him but sometimes you need to hear the words too. He wondered what drove Brian to say them. He knew it must have taken a lot because Brian would never say those words lightly.

The couple arrived at Babylon arm in arm. The party was already in full force. Almost immediately Justin was torn away from him. Everyone wanted to congratulate the budding artist. Brian didn't mind being on the sidelines. He was proud of Justin and this was his special night.

Brian went off to talk to Michael. "Looks like your comic is a success."

Michael beamed. "I can't believe it; this has been like a dream of mine forever."

"Mikey, I wanted to be the one to tell you this. Justin and I are together, officially." He held up his hand and showed him the ring. Brian could see the hurt on his best friend's face. "You'll always be my best friend but Justin is going to be my top priority from now on. Don't give Justin any of your shit either. You never liked him from the start but the comic brought you two together. I hope you can work out your differences."

Michael looked sadly away. "I'll try."

Justin was getting jostled around by everyone congratulating him. His mother was squeezing him. "I'm so proud of you, Justin."

Daphne grabbed his hand when she saw the ring. "Justin, oh my God, is that what I think it is?" Justin smiled "Brian gave it to me tonight. Were officially partners in a relationship."

Daphne kissed his cheek. "I'm so jealous."

When the reenactment of the comic was about to take place Brian made his way over to Justin's side and put his arms around him. "You don't have to watch if it's too much. I don't want it to upset you."

Justin looked up into his hazel eyes. "It's ok, just hold me." They watched the scenes from the comic play out over the stage. Justin commented, "That guy kind of looks like you. Where did you find him?"

"Through a modeling agency."

"The guy playing JT looks nothing like me."

Brian bent down to nibble on his ear. "No one could look as beautiful as you do."

"Aw Brian, you're so sweet."

Brian grabbed his butt. "Let's keep that between us, shall we?"

When the show was over and the music started thumping Brian led Justin out onto the dance floor. They treated the crowd to the Brian and Justin show. They were all over each other, grinding their hips together. The glitter fell all around them and they were sparkling with it. The couple never looked hotter or more beautiful.

Brian picked Justin up and held him up like he did once so long ago. He held him aloft like the prize he was. Justin smiled down at him. Brian let Justin's body slowly drag against his body as he brought him back down. They danced the night away. This was their playground, their kingdom. No one dared to interrupt them. No one wanted to face Brian's wrath. One look at him and every one could tell he was truly, madly, deeply in love with the little blond twink.
