His Lean and Meaness

Debbie’s
POV:
“Sunshine! What are you doing
here?”
“I
work here don’t I?”
“Of
course you do honey but I thought you’d take the night
off”
“Deb
I’m okay really I am and I need this job”
“Well
ok if you’re sure; Hunter’s on tonight let him handle the
heavy stuff”
“Hey
you don’t have to treat me like a baby, I can
pull my own weight, besides I get enough of that at
home”
“What’s
the asshole making you pull
now?”
“Stop,
he’s just hovering again”
“What
do you mean hovering again when did Brian ever hover over anyone unless in
bed of course”
“Deb
you of all people should know him better than that; I don’t know
what’s with all of you, you say you care about him
but…”
“We
care Sunshine but the asshole…”
“See
that’s what I mean he’s not an asshole, sometimes maybe but not
all the time”
”What do you mean honey?”
“After
the bashing he was always hovering around me doing little things for me,
taking care of me, giving me whatever I wanted”
”Except him”
“That
was different, he’s different now”
“Yeah
meaner”
“That’s
not true, he took care of me then and this
weekend”
“Oh
really”
”Yes really”
“Well
you can tell me all about it later we have customers waiting…what’ll
ya have honey?”
This
kid is so hung up on Brian I hope he doesn’t get hurt again.
He’s so sweet and trusting
I still think he has his head in the clouds, just like my poor
Michael. Oh well I hope Justin
wises up; still I have seen some changes in Brian I know the asshole loves
him maybe he’s even told him this
time. Well Sunshine certainly
deserves to hear it. Phew
it’s busy here tonight I’m glad Justin
came to work.
“Hunter
can you clear that table?”
“Sure
Deb”
“Hi
Ted”
“Hi
ya Deb, sure is busy tonight”
“Yeah
no booth I’m afraid”
“No
problem I’m solo”
“What’ll
ya have?”
“How
about a chicken caesar salad”
“Since
when do you do salads?”
“Since
I got used to eating with Brian and Cynthia”
“Well
isn’t that something, ok I’ll put your order in;
coffee?”
“Yes
thanks”
“How
was it at the loft; get to hear some down and dirty
sex?”
“No
Deb it was a real eye opener”
“What
the asshole do now?”
”Brian?”
“Who else?”
“ Ya know Deb you really have
to stop calling him that, he’s really not that bad and he’s a very
gracious host”
“Let
you watch huh”
“No;
he made up the futon for me, got me extra blankets and even laid out clothes
for me the next morning and then the two cooked
breakfast”
“Well
I’ll be damned”
“Yeah
who knew”
”I bet it was all Sunshine”
”No it was all Brian”
“Well
will wonders never cease”
”I’ve grown to appreciate the man, I’ve seen a little of what
Justin sees in him and he’ll do anything for Justin”
”I’ll bet as long as he gets his cock
sucked”
“Well…”
“Aha!
I knew it he had that kid suckin’ him off after he almost got killed
wait till I get my hands on him”
“No
Deb, it wasn’t like that, it was Justin”
“Justin?”
“He
woke up with a nightmare…”
“Poor
Sunshine I didn’t know he still got them”
“Well
he whomped Brian good in his sleep”
“Bet
Brian was pissed”
“No
not really he woke Justin got him calm but Justin couldn’t go back to
sleep, so he helped him”
“Helped
him how?”
“He…”
“Oh…bet
Sunshine had to pay him back”
“Nope”
“No?”
“No
he said that was for him then the two went back to
sleep”
“Amazing”
“That’s
exactly what I thought; Deb Emmett’s been right all along these two
have a very deep connection that no one will understand but I got to see
it first hand and believe me I was the biggest skeptic and now I’m
convinced”
“Ya
know Ted I kinda knew that but sometimes”
”I know we’re so used to Brian fuckin’ up big time then somehow
fixing it big time that we never get to see the real Brian, well I have seen
and I’m proud to call him my friend”
“Now
who’d want to be your friend Theodore?”
“Oh
I don’t know some tall lean and mean asshole”
”I have no idea to whom you’re referring…Deb can I get some
coffee?”
“Coming
right up honey”
Amazing
well if Brian can convince Ted that he and Justin are in love it must be
true, the asshole.
“Hey
Sonny Boy”
“Hey”
“Let
me get that for you and where’s Hunter,
you’re a waiter you shouldn’t be bussing this heavy
stuff”
“Brian
don’t you’ll get your suit all dirty”
“That’s
what dry cleaners are for, don’t argue with
me”
“I
never could”
“Oh
yes you can and you do all the time that’s what I
lo…(whispering) love about
you”
“Silly
old man”
“I’m
not old I’m Rage remember”
“My
hero”
“There
and please let the kid do this, ok, for me just for a few more days then
you can go back to being your stubborn little self”
“Ok
Bri for you”
“Hey
Deb where’s
my…”
“COFFEE…here
asshole”
“Humph”
Amazing
Brian Kinney bussing tables in an Armani suit never in a million years did
I ever think I’d live to see that; perhaps Ted’s right I do have
to give him respect. He is a
hero, grown up to become a real man with love and goodness in his heart;
I’ve known it’s always been there but I guess it just needed a
little Sunshine to let it out. Well
his lean and meanness is always full of surprises but somehow he doesn’t
surprise Justin it’s like he knows that Brian will do the right thing,
just like the Stockwell thing or with Jason
Kemp. He seems to know how to
fix things. I guess he does deserve
our respect.
“Hey
Deb wake up, where’d ya go, I’m hungry”
“What’ll
ya have ass, uh kiddo?”
“I’ll
have what he’s having”
“Chicken
Caesar coming right up”
See
full of surprises.
