His Lean and Meaness
Epilogue
Michael’s
POV:
Well that’s it, the new sketches for Rage. And guess what Rage saves JT again. My new villain has these powers to bust things up with his eyes, makes buildings and trees of course explode and tumble down. How imaginative. There he is Rage, saving his JT from under the bricks then takes him back to the lair to heal him on the restorative bed.
One
day maybe Zephyr will get what he wants, until then I guess I’ll take
what I can get. The drawings
are really good and we went into a second printing of the first two
issues. Who knows maybe we’ll
make some money I mean real money.
“Hey
Bri”
“Hey
Mikey”
“Me and the Boy Wonder here have been going over the latest
drawings for Rage”
“Hey
Baby”---kiss---
“Any pictures of my
cock?”
“Of
course there are wouldn’t be Rage if he didn’t get sucked off at
least once an issue”
“Well
boys at least you have your priorities straight”
“Brian
if your ego get any bigger you won’t fit through
the door”
“Justin
it’s not my ego you have to worry about”
“Cut
it out Bri”
“Just
teasing Sonny Boy; anyway gotta go I can hear someone else needs Rage to
help them out; see ya later Sunshine?”
“No
not tonight I have the dinner shift and then some studying at Daph’s;
tomorrow?”
“Yeah
that’s good; how ‘bout you Mikey can Zephyr have dinner with
Rage?”
“I’m
in, Ben’s got a late
class”
“Good,
7 ok?”
“Works
for me”
“Later”
“See
ya later Bri”
“Later
Baby”---kiss---
“What
was that all about, hearing someone who needs
Rage”
“Oh
Lindsey called him earlier she has a gallery function and needs him to baby
sit”
“Really?”
“Yup
he loves it”
“He
does?”
“Yes
he does; Michael I know you like it when I give you my drawings for Rage
but please try not to put me down in front of
Brian”
“I
don’t know what you’re talking about”
“Yes
you do; look I could care two shits what you think about me, the only one
who’s getting hurt here is Brian”
“Brian?! I would never hurt Brian he’s
my best…”
“Best
friend I know, well you do hurt him a lot he wont admit it to you but I see
it all the time; one day you’ll force him to choose; please don’t
let it get that far, it’s killing him”
“I
never thought”
“I
know, no one knows just how hurt he really gets cause he always looks so
strong, so much like Rage but he’s not Michael he’s a man, a man
with strong feelings; when you go to dinner later take a good look at him,
please, not for me for him”
---sigh---
“Now
back to these drawings anything you want
changed?…”
“Hey
Bri”
“Hey
Mikey”
---kiss---
“So
did Rage save the day?”
“Yup,
Gayopolis is once again safe for queers and perverts
everywhere”
“Cool,
I’m glad we came here instead of the diner”
“Yeah,
its good to change, experience something
new”
“Umm
change is good”
“So
you and Sunshine have fun”
“Yeah
his new sketches are great I think we have another
winner”
“Can’t
wait to see it in print”
“You’ll
be the first…Bri?”
“Hmmm?”
“You
know you are the first”
“I
know Mikey, you too; Mikey I’ll always love
you”
“I
know Bri it’s just that sometimes”
“Mikey
I know---sigh---please don’t ask me to choose”
“I
won’t I think I understand”
“Do
you really?”
“I
think so”
“Good
let’s eat I’m starving”
Okay”
I
guess I do understand. I mean
he has so much going on in his life, his new agency, his son, Justin yeah
even Justin. I love Brian so
much but I don’t think we could ever live
together. The first time I’d
whine at him he’d kill me. Ben
kinda likes it when I whine it even turns him on sometimes and he’s
so big and strong. I mean
Brian’s big and strong too but it’s
different. And that’s good
too.
I
guess I get what Justin was saying.
Brian looks, I don’t know peaceful, yeah that’s it,
he’s finally at
peace. Peace with himself, with
Justin with being a dad and I guess with me
too. Oh some part of me will
always wonder but I love what I have with Ben and Brian loves what he has
with Justin.
Rage,
Zephyr and JT; with us taking care of Gayopolis who can stop
us?
“Yeah
Mikey there’s no one who can stop
us”
“Huh?”
How’d
he do that?
“I
can always read your mind Mikey that’s why you’re my best friend
and nothing will change that I promise nothing”
“Thanks
Bri”
“Come
on Zephyr let’s eat”
“You
got it Rage”
I
got it, I think I finally got
it.
