Don't Stop Looking for Love

Give a Little

Brian was walking towards Gus' daycare center and couldn't help the foolish grin that crept to his lips. 'I hope he's working today', Brian thought. 'Fuck, did I just think that? I'm like some lovesick puppy. Fuck!' Despite himself, Brian couldn't stop grinning.

"Hey… ummm… Catherine, was it?"

"Yeah, hi Mr. Kinney."

"Brian, please."

"Okay, Brian. So you're here to pick up Gus, right?"

"Yeah but I can see he's fascinated with the sandbox."

"Kids usually are", Catherine smirked. "Gus!"

Little hazel head turned towards the sound and when he saw Brian, he jumped out of the sandbox and run to his father.

"Daddy, daddy!"

Brian scooped Gus into his arms. "Hey Sonny Boy. You're a bit sandy, did you know that?"

Gus giggled. "Daddy, I was in a sandbox."

"Were you? Did you have fun?"

"Yeah, I raced with Robbie and I won!"

"That's great. So are you ready to go?"

"Not yet daddy, one more race, pleeaase?"

"Sorry Brian to interrupt; we need you to sign some papers, if you don't mind."

"Okay. Well champ, I guess you can go back for a little while."

"Yay!" Gus exclaimed and run back to his friend.

"So, are you going with me inside?" Brian asked.

"No, just go into the office. Justin is in there", Catherine said and grinned.

Brian just gave her a tongue-in-cheek smirk and went inside. The door to the office was open and Brian saw Justin looking for something from the file cabinet. Justin was back to him so he couldn't see Brian. Brian went inside and close the door very carefully not to make any sound and then he walked behind Justin.

"Hey."

"Christ!" Justin jumped and turned around. "Brian! You scared me half to death."

"Sorry. Can you forgive me?" Brian asked lifting a brow.

"Well… I'm not sure…"

Just then Justin felt Brian's lips on his own; the kiss was long and sweet.

"Well?" Brian asked.

"I'm not totally convinced."

Brian sighed and then he put his hand behind Justin's neck and pulled him into a long, passionate kiss. Finally they had to break the kiss to get some air.

"Okay, you're forgiven", Justin panted.

Brian smiled and took a couple of steps back.

"So what are you doing here?"

"I came to pick up my son."

"Really? I couldn't have figured that one out. I meant at the office?"

"Oh, Catherine said you were here. I told her that I'd come here for a quickie and all she said was 'just remember to lock the door'."

Brian looked the color draining from Justin's face.

"You didn't?" Justin asked horrified.

"Of course not; I don't have a death wish."

Justin swatted Brian's arm lightly. "Asshole! I almost believed you."

"You shouldn't be so blue-eyed."

Justin put his tongue out.

"Actually, Catherine said you have some papers I need to sign."

"Oh yeah, wait a moment, I'll get them." Justin found the papers and put them on the table. "Here, just sign this and this."

"Shouldn't I read them first?"

"Don't you trust me?"

"Is there a reason not to?"

"No. We're taking the kids to a field trip and we need the parents' consent to do that. And it's a surprise; so don't tell Gus about it. And give this to Lindsay."

"What's that?"

"It's just a list of things Gus should have with him for the trip. I guess that kind of thing falls into Lindsay anyway, right?"

"Yeah well, I take it to her. Anything else?"

"I don't think so."

"I guess I should go then. Oh, do you want to get together later tonight?"

"Sorry I can't, I've already have plans."

"Oh, something interesting?"

"Well if you think spending an evening with 15 women is interesting, then yes."

"Sounds kinky."

"Eeewww! Gross! It isn't anything like that - I have a meeting with my co-workers. We need to plan the field trip."

"How long does the meeting take?"

"Well it starts at 7 and I'm sure we'll be there till midnight."

"You need five hours to plan a trip?"

"Not exactly. I think the meeting would take about two hours but we have to discuss other things too."

"Like what?"

"Mainly hair, make-up and men."

Brian inspected Justin's face.

"What?" Justin asked furrowing his brows.

"You use a lot of make-up?" Brian asked grinning.

"Ha ha. Once I did try to start a conversation about lubes but for some reason they weren't very interested."

"Wonder why."

"One time they asked me what hair color I use for my hair and when I said I don't use any and it's my natural color, they got envious of me. But they are really great and I enjoy working with them."

"Well at least you have the men subject that everybody's interested in."

"Yeah, I'm always looking for to that part of our discussion", Justin smirked.

"I bet. I'd better get Gus before he thinks I've forgotten him. I guess we'll see later then."

"Yeah, later", Justin said and pulled Brian into a kiss. Brian gave Justin a small smile and left.

At the meeting at the daycare center

"Okay, does anyone want to say something before we start working? Any new boyfriends? Anything at all?" Jackie asked.

No one said anything.

"Justin has something to share", Catherine finally said. Justin gave her a glare.

"Oh what is it? Do tell", Mary said.

"I don't know what she's talking about", Justin said blushing slightly.

"Come on Justin", Catherine said. "They have a right to know."

"Oh my God, Justin has a man!" Jackie exclaimed.

"Spit it out, tell us all about him", Mary pleaded.

"There's nothing to tell", Justin tried.

"Justin, please."

"Cath, are you sure about this? Have you actually seen them?"

"Oh I'm sure. I haven't seen them on action, so to speak, but I've heard things from a very reliable source."

Everyone's eyes were on Justin.

"Well, who is it?"

"Do we know him?"

Justin gave a deep sigh. "I knew this was a bad career move."

Catherine was getting anxious as well as the others. "It's Brian Kinney", she blurted out. Justin poked Catherine in the ribs with his elbow. "Why did you do that?" Catherine just rolled her eyes at him.

"OH MY GOD! You mean THE Brian Kinney?"

"The one and only", Catherine sighed.

"How did it happen?"

Justin wasn't very co-operative so Catherine decided to speak.

"Well they met here and they fell in love in an instant", Catherine said putting her hand on her chest for effect.

"Christ Cath, it wasn't anything like that. Besides, I'm not in love."

"Oh, like Enrique?"

"Huh?"

"You know, 'I'm not in love, it's just a phase that I'm going through'."

Justin rolled his eyes at Catherine.

"That man is such a walking wet dream. I just wish he'd pick his son up more often", Stacie said.

"Yeah me too", Mary added. "Maybe we can't touch him but we can always look."

"I'm sure he's well endowed too. Well? Justin?"

"Let's just say he could make a lot of women very happy", Justin smirked.

"Damn you're lucky! Why must all the best men be gay? It's just so wrong!"

The interrogation lasted a good while; everybody wanted to ask something and hear all about Brian Kinney. At first Justin was a bit reluctant but ended up telling more than enough.

At Brian's loft

"You know there's that art show at the GLC on Saturday. Can you take Gus for that night?"

"Umm… sorry I can't, I've already got plans."

"Can't you skip Babylon for one night?"

"It's not Babylon."

"Oh, what is it then?"

Brian looked a bit uncomfortable. "Well I promised to be at the art show."

"What? You never go to those kinds of things. Ooh… I know, it's Justin - you're interested in him."

Brian didn't say anything.

Lindsay looked at Brian. "Oh Brian, you have it bad."

"No I don't."

'Keep telling yourself that', Lindsay thought. "So, have you already done it?"

"None of your business."

"So you have. How was it?"

Brian recalled his night with Justin and though he tried to act nonchalant, he couldn't hide the small smile that crept to his lips. "All right."

Lindsay shook her head and smiled. "Yeah, I can see that. So he's been here."

"Well actually no."

"Oh Brian, don't tell me you fucked him in the backroom at Babylon."

"No I didn't; we were at his place."

"Oh, where does he live?"

"On Tremont."

"Really? How can he afford to live here?"

"Well he inherited the place from his grandfather. You would love it; it's very spacious and has great light. And there's a sky window in the bedroom. A big one."

Lindsay smiled. "Sounds like you like the place. Do you think you could live there?"

"Sure", Brian said and then realized what he had said. "I mean…"

"Save it. I need to go anyway - I guess we'll see on Saturday then?"

"Yeah I guess so."

"Bye Brian!"

"Bye!"
