Christmas 2014
Brian and Justin had ordered Chinese
food. They were feeding Bree using their chopsticks
and trying to interest her in the fine cuisine of
"Hey, Dad," Gus said into the
phone. "Can you come to my school on Wednesday evening?"
"Your school? What for?"
"I'm not in trouble," Gus
chuckled.
"I didn't think you were."
"That's not what your voice
sounded like," Gus stated.
"Why should I go to your
school?" Brian asked.
"Um … I'm in the band and they're
playing in the Christmas Concert that night."
"Oh, and you need an
audience?"
"Something like
that," Gus answered with a chuckle. "Can you come?"
"I'll be there."
"Thanks, Dad."
"You're going to be here late on
Christmas Day, right?" Brian asked wanting to verify their Christmas
plans.
"That's the plan."
"What instrument do you
play?" Brian asked with a frown realizing that he had never heard Gus play
an instrument at all.
"The sax."
"Ah, Clarence
Clemons."
"Who?"
"Charlie Parker?"
"Huh?"
"Kenny Fucking Gee?"
"Daaad!"
"Never mind," Brian said
realizing that he had some serious educating of his son to do where music was
concerned. And why hadn't anyone told him that Gus played the fucking
saxophone. "I'll see you Wednesday."
"Thanks, Dad," Gus said
before hanging up.
But then a few days later something had
come up suddenly at Kinnetik and Brian had spent
three nights in a row at the office, not arriving home until after
"Brian? Brian!"
"What?"
"The show's over," Justin said.
"People are leaving." Brian watched them file out. "Maybe the
people behind you would like it if you left too."
Brian started walking still lost in
thought.
"Where are you?" Justin asked
with a frown.
"Huh?"
"Did you see any of the film?"
Justin was starting to get worried.
"Do you think we should have invited
Gus to come to
"We talked about that,
remember?" Justin replied. "We thought it would be better to just
take Patrick and Bree together. We were going to try
to do something with Gus later."
"Then let's make the fuck sure that
we do," Brian said as he strode into the gift shop and searched out a
cloisonné thimble. He suddenly felt like a real shithead,
even though Gus had forgiven him for missing the concert. He had to make sure
that he was at the next one.
The little group wandered through a couple
more pavilions before deciding that they needed a drink. They found the Biergarten at the German Pavilion and Brian decided that
was where he was going to stay for a while. Justin wondered what had gotten
into Brian, but he knew better than to ask. Brian would tell him when he was
ready.
Simon and Ken decided to go on ahead after
they'd had a beer. Brian wanted another drink so he and Justin stayed behind at
the Biergarten. They sat at the table not saying
anything. Brian seemed lost in thought.
"Do you think I'm a good father?"
Brian asked after a bit.
"A good
father?" Justin asked,
not at all sure where this was leading.
"Yeah, the whole
parenting thing."
"You're a great father. Bree adores you and Gus thinks you're the best thing since
sliced bread."
Brian snorted. "He didn't think that
when I missed his Christmas Concert."
"He forgave you."
"But he shouldn't have had to. I've
tried to do everything right with Bree, because I was
such a piss poor father to Gus. It's not fair to him that I was too fucking
selfish to be a true father to him. And I'm still acting like that." Brian
shook his head in disgust with himself.
"That was a one time thing that he's
forgiven you for. Stop dwelling on it," Justin said firmly but gently.
"When we get home, I'm going to take
Gus someplace, maybe just the two of us," Brian declared.
"He'll love that," Justin
agreed.
"I wonder what he'd like to do,"
Brian mused.
"Camping?" Justin chuckled.
"Asshole."
"Hey, that's my line."
"Twat!"
"Are you feeling a little
better?" Justin asked leaning over and brushing his lips against Brian's
cheek.
"A bit."
"Then let's hit another
pavilion," Justin said standing up.
Slowly Brian did the same. He felt a
little better, but he would have to think of something special to do with Gus
when he got home.
"And you are a good father,"
Justin declared as the left the Biergarten.
As Brian and Justin went on to each new
pavilion, the thrill of discovering a new beer and shopping was quickly losing
its appeal. In other words Brian Kinney was getting bored. Brian had managed to
find thimbles that represented almost every 'country' they visited. Plus they
purchased fun but educational toys or books for all of the children. Brian and
Justin met up with Ken and Simon at the Canadian pavilion and then made their
way to the main gate then back to the hotel. Justin was one happy little blond;
he and he alone got Brian Kinney to DO Disney!
Once back at the hotel, the couples parted
but made tentative plans to meet later for dinner and then perhaps dancing. It
appeared that somehow Justin had enough energy left to boogie.
"Please Brian," Justin batted
his long blond lashes at his grumbling spouse who was doing a fairly good
impression of a bear with a sore paw as they rode the elevator up to their
room.
"Enough, Justin, you've walked my
feet off today. Let me take a shower and lay down for a while. Then you can
coerce me."
"Okay, Brian, you do that. I'm going
to organize our purchases."
"Fine, fine, fine," Brian
mumbled. In their room, Brian headed for the shower then the bed as Justin had
fun with souvenirs.

April 2015
"Craig, honey, can we go somewhere
this year?"
"Where do you have in mind?"
"I don't know. Someplace
warm. It feels like winter doesn't want to give up. Maybe
"When?"
"Early June?"
"Maybe. Look, why don't you research some places and then
make it for the second week in June. I have that conference the first
week."
"Any particular place you'd like
to go?"
"I don't care, just as long as it
isn't Disney."
*****
"Wakey, wakey."
"What time is it?"
"About
"With all you consumed today?"
"Yeah, but we must have walked a
hundred miles, besides I need to keep up my strength if I'm going to fight off
the thousands of men who are going to vie for your attention tonight."
"You're exaggerating."
"No, I'm not. I know you have
something fabulously sexy in your suitcase. And even if you wore your black
wife beater, hint, hint, hint, I'd still have to beat them off with a
stick."
"Justin, are you sure that's a good
idea?"
"What do you mean?"
"You, we, both get jealous sometimes.
I don't want any more misunderstandings."
"There won't be. We don't go clubbing
anymore and I really don't care about that but this is special. Just you and me and I want to show you off."
"Isn't that usually my line? With my
hot beautiful blond on my arm, I'm the envy of every man and woman we
meet."
"So am I. So let's show each other
off. You in black..."
"And you in white. We'll burn up the
dance floor, Sunshine." The lovers kissed then went down to dinner. They
decided to change for the clubs after they ate.
Dinner was a leisurely affair with Simon
and Ken and very pleasant conversation. The buzz in the restaurant revolved
around the dance clubs of
"Brian, do I look okay?" Justin
was wearing a little white t-shirt that hugged his body and light beige cargo
pants that accentuated his ever bubbly butt.
"You are the most beautiful man I
have ever seen, Sunshine. It's me who's going to need that stick and I want you
to stay by my side at all times." Justin could have taken Brian's
admonishment the wrong way but he didn't. He knew that Brian had just flung himself
into big guard dog mode. And no one was going to bring him out. It just made
Justin love Brian even more.
"What about me? I won't embarrass
you, will I?" The over forty Brian was a little hesitant, he didn't want
to make a fool of himself. In his tight black wife-beater and black jeans that
were worn in just the right places, Brian was a feast for the senses. He looked
and smelled like sex on two legs. Justin wrapped his arms around Brian and
inhaled deeply.
"Gorgeous," was all that Justin
said as he hugged his lover tightly. "You're like a fine wine; you only
get better with age."
"Make that scotch, and I'll be
happy," Brian chuckled at their cliches then he
got serious for a moment. "I want you to be proud of me, Justin. All of me. The me who's a parent,
the me who's your lover and the me who brings home the bacon. All of me, Jus. I don't want to ever let you down."
Brian sighed as he rested his chin on Justin's head. Justin hung on tighter.
"You won't, Bri.
And I am, very proud of you." Justin whispered into Brian's chest. After a
few more quiet moments, the lovers kissed then went down to the lobby to meet
up with Simon and Ken.
"I love the night life,
I got to boogie on the disco 'round, oh yea!"
The disco music was loud and thumping, Ken
grabbed Simon's hand and they were off onto the dance floor. Brian parked
Justin at the railing overlooking the dance floor and quickly got them a couple
of beers. This wasn't their kind of music but they were enjoying watching all
the couples dancing, recalling their youth. Brian was amazed at all the same
sex couples and how easily they were integrated with the het
ones. Brian and Justin drank their beers as Ken and Simon danced on. After a
little while, Brian waved a 'see you later' at Simon. Brian was itching to find
the club with the thumpa thumpa
music. They strolled through
Mannequins had a three sided catwalk so
that the revolving dance floor could be viewed. On the fourth side was a little
stage, where dancers in costume would perform a little show. Brian and Justin
stepped in, the thumpa thumpa
music beating loudly, resonating through their chests. Brian stepped up to the
railing and inhaled deeply as he looked down over the throngs of dancing,
gyrating men. It felt like home. After a few moments, Justin watched as Brian's
arm began to arc upwards. Justin sidled beside him and took his place. Brian
turned; an arrogant smirk began to splay across his face. He drew Justin in
tight with his arm and kissed him deeply, openly, for all the
world to see. Brian ended the kiss and waited until the glazed haze in Justin's
eyes began to clear. Justin smiled smugly, he was so onto Brian. Brian cupped
his partner's face and then gently, reverently kissed
his lips again. When the kiss ended, Justin flashed his famous smile, 'you so
love me.' Brian rolled his eyes and the lovers laughed. Justin grabbed his
spouse's hand and led him to the dance floor.

"Did you get a look at the two who
just walked in?"
"The tall one in
black and the little blond in white? God they are so hot!"
"Shit, I'd do them both."
"I'd watch!"

"Holy fuck! Look at them!"
"I think I've died and gone to
heaven!"
***
"OOOOOO! They're hot!
"Hotter than
hot!"
"Think I can get tall dark and handsome
to fuck me in the bathroom?"
"With that young thing glued to
his cock? Fat chance."
"Shit."
***
"Hey look, it's those two from the
hotel. God, they're both so gorgeous!"
"Yeah, but the tall one can't
dance for shit."
"He doesn't have to. Besides the
little one is doing enough dancing for the both of them."
"What's that scrunchy
thing he's doing?"
"Who gives a fuck? I just wish
he'd do it with me!"
***
"I heard someone say they're
married."
"Married! Who'd want to go and do something stupid like
that?"
"I wouldn't mind waking up with
either one of them in my bed every morning."
"Oh yeah!"
***
"That blond can't be legal."
"He has to be, it's Friday."
"Still, he's got to be young and I
bet he's a bottom."
"Mmm,
can you imagine those lips wrapped around your cock?"
"Fuck!"
***
"Oh God, oh God,
oh God!"
"What?! What, what?"
"I saw them fucking in the
bathroom!"
"NO!"
"Fuck yeah! And it's true, the tall one has this long beautiful cock. And the ass
on blondie! Shit, what I wouldn't give to worship
that ass."
***
"I heard they'd do just about
anyone."
"Yeah, well I heard they're into
big bears."
"I heard they don't do
tricks."
"I heard they're into
lesbians."
"You have got to be fucking
kidding me."
"No, I saw them hanging with the
dykes the night of the luau."
"What a waste!"
***
"Bri..."
"Had enough, Sunshine?"
"Yeah."
"Let's go find Simon and Ken and head
back."
"Okay. Bri?"
"Hmm?"
"I love you, Bri.
Happy Anniversary."
"Love you too, Sunshine. Happy Anniversary."
