Saturday at Justin's

Brian stepped out of the elevator and noticed the door to Justin's loft was open a little so he went straight in. "Hey, are you ready to…" Brian stopped in the middle of his sentence when he saw Justin sitting on the sofa with his arms around his legs looking pale. "Justin, what's wrong? Did something happen?" Brian asked sitting beside Justin.

Justin just looked ahead. "I can't go."

"What do you mean you can't go?"

Justin was silent.

"I can't help you if you won't tell me."

Nothing.

"I've got all night."

Justin gave a deep sigh and looked at Brian. "Okay. Sometimes I have problems dealing with crowds. I guess today is one of those days. I can't go."

Brian sensed that there was more to what Justin was saying but let it go for now. "But I'll be there. And Molly and your mother as well; it's not like you're all alone. You'll be just fine."

"I don't know…"

"I know. Come here," Brian said and took Justin into his arms and started making soothing circles on Justin's back with his hand.

Justin took strength from Brian's body. "But what if they hate my paintings?"

Brian chuckled. "Okay, now you're going on the drama princess -mood. No one will hate your paintings; you're very talented and you know it yourself. You're just a bit anxious but it'll pass. You just need to relax."

"I can't relax."

"Just take deep breaths."

Justin did as told and started to feel better and Brian felt Justin's body relax.

They sat on the sofa for about fifteen minutes.

"Better now?" Brian asked.

"Yeah, thanks."

"Do you think you can go to the show now?"

"I guess."

"Is there anything else that would make you feel better?"

"A quickie?" Justin asked smirking.

Brian raised a brow. "Well at least you're back to normal. I can't believe I'm declining but we really don't have time for that."

"Damn shame."

"Damn right. I think we'd better go now or I won't be responsible for my actions."

"Okay, I guess it's time to face the lions. I just go to the bathroom and then we can go."

"Okay."

At the GLC

"I don't think that's real-sized," Molly said.

"Yeah, I think Justin added a few inches," Daphne commented.

"It's an actual size; no added inches," Brian said behind them. "Wanna see some proof?"

"How do you know it's actual size?" Daphne asked turning around and was met by a tall brunette.

"Well I think I know my own dick."

"Hello Brian," Molly said grinning.

"Oh," Daphne said realizing whom she was talking to.

"Hello Molly. Daphne."

"How did you know I'm Daphne?" Daphne asked surprised.

"I recognized your voice."

"Huh?"

"You called Justin when we were… well when I was at Justin's. You know, you were talking about dicks then too."

"Oh yeah, I remember now. Sorry I interrupted your activities then."

"Well, we did get in the end eventually," Brian smirked.

"So I heard," Daphne said but looked thoughtful.

"What?" Brian asked.

"You know, I didn't recognize you at first - you look different with your clothes on."

Brian gave her his tongue-in-cheek smirk.

"So, you wanna do it here or should we go somewhere more private?" Molly asked Brian.

"Huh?"

"You said you can show some proof; I wanna see it."

"Christ, I didn't mean it for real. I don't show my dick to women."

"Sorry, I don't believe it until I see it," Daphne said.

"Me either," Molly added.

"You don't believe you brother's art?"

"He's biased."

"Well, I'm not going to show it anyway."

"Coward," Molly muttered.

"Well I'll be damned, Brian Kinney at an art show!" Emmett exclaimed walking to Brian.

"Em. What are you doing here?"

"Looking at the art, silly."

"Sure," Brian said in disbelief.

"Well I don't mind all the cute artists or the cruisable men either."

"I bet you don't."

Molly cleared her throat.

"Oh, sorry. Emmett Honeycutt, this is Molly Taylor and Daphne…"

"Chanders," Daphne provided. "Nice to meet you Emmett."

"You too sweetie. Molly, have we met before? You look familiar."

"You too… wait, do you work at Torso?"

"Well yes I do."

"That's where I've seen you; I was there with my friend the other day."

"Found anything?" Emmett asked.

"Yeah, there's a lot of good stuff."

Brian gave her a glare.

"Well maybe not for everybody."

"Hey," Justin who had come to join the group said.

"Hey," Brian said. "Justin, this is Emmett. Emmett, this is Justin, one of the artists."

"Nice to meet you Emmett."

"The pleasure is all mine," Emmett said. "What did I tell you about the artists, Brian," Emmett said licking his lips.

"Don't even think about it," Brian said firmly.

'Geez, does he think I'm blind? I saw how he looked at Justin', Emmett thought. "I just made an observation."

Brian raised his brows.

"So what were you talking about before I so rudely interrupted?" Emmett asked.

"Well, our ladies here suspect that Justin has exaggerated some things in the painting. You know, added inches," Brian said looking knowingly at Emmett.

Emmett took a good look at the painting. "Looks right to me."

"What? You fucked HIM?" Molly asked amazed.

"Oh thanks," Emmett said.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that. I just thought you weren't exactly Brian's type."

"I don't fuck my friends," Brian simply stated.

"And that's a shame," Emmett sighed.

Brian smirked.

"Anyway, I've seen him in the shower."

"Life's so unfair," Daphne sighed.

"Tell me about it. I guess we have to come up with our own fun then," Molly said raising her brow.

Daphne just smiled at Molly.

'Uh oh', Emmett thought to himself. He glanced to Brian and Justin and noticed that they were totally oblivious what was happening. 'How can they be so blind? Where is their feminine side?'

"Justin honey, there you are! I've been looking all over for you."

"Hi Mom," Justin said and hugged his mother.

Just then Justin's mother noticed Brian. "Oh sorry, did I interrupt something?"

"No, it's okay. Mom, this is Brian Kinney. Brian, my mom."

"Hello, I'm Jennifer Taylor, nice to meet you."

"You too Mrs Taylor," Brian said extending his hand.

"Please call me Jennifer; 'Mrs Taylor' makes me feel so old."

"Well, you are kinda o…" Justin started and received a 'don't-go-there' look from his mother.

Justin rolled his eyes. "Geez, I was just kidding!"

"So you're the infamous Brian that Molly can't stop talking about. She really enjoyed the tour at Vanguard."

"I got the same impression," Brian said smirking. "So, what else has Molly told you about me?"

"Well she said you were very handsome."

Brian raised a brow to that.

"She wasn't wrong," Jennifer said and winked at Brian.

"Mom!" Justin exclaimed.

"What?" Jennifer asked smiling.

Justin sighed.

"Fine I'll go, I just wanted to tell you how proud I am of you. And I'm sure your grandfather would've been too."

"Thanks Mom."

"Okay, I leave you alone now and try to find Molly. She is here, isn't she?"

"Yeah, she's here somewhere."

"See you later!"

"Yeah, see you!"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Hey Emmett, have you seen Molly?" Justin asked.

"Yeah, I think she went outside a while ago."

"Thanks."

Justin went outside and walked to the little park near the center and saw two people sitting on a bench kissing. One was Molly and the other one…

"Molly! What the fuck are you doing?"

Molly jumped a bit but recovered quickly. "I thought you would've figured it out by now. I was kissing when you so rudely interrupted."

"But… but… Daphne?"

"Yeah well," Molly shrugged.

"Daphne, I didn't know you were… well you know. Why haven't you told me?"

"Well, I didn't know myself until tonight or at least I didn't admit it before."

"I have to say I'm a little shocked. You know, I think you've been hanging around with me too much," Justin smiled.

"So, did you actually want something?" Molly asked.

"I'm sure I did but now I have no idea what it was; you two kinda distracted me."

"Sorry," Molly grinned.

"I think I'll go back inside. Carry on."

"We will. Bye," Molly said smirking.

Justin found Brian quickly.

"Well that was fast. Did you find her?"

"Did I ever! You won't believe what I just saw."

Brian just gave Justin a questioning look.

"Molly was kissing…"

"Well she's twenty years old so she's a big girl and you know that also little sisters start to kiss at some point."

"… Daphne. She was kissing Daphne!"

"Your best friend Daphne?" Brian asked surprised.

"Yes!"

"Well I must say I didn't see that one coming. But didn't you say that Daphne was straight?"

"I thought so but I guess she has 'seen the light'."

"You know, you seem to have a bad influence on people: first Molly now Daphne. Is Gus going to be your next target?"

"Isn't he a bit young to be converted? Besides, I don't do that on purpose."

"Tell that to your father."

"Like he would believe," Justin sighed.

"So, was there any tongue involved?" Brian asked.

It took a moment for Justin to realize what Brian meant. "Eewww gross, I didn't watch! I was in shock." Justin shuddered. "I don't wanna think about my little sister and my best friend doing things like that - it's almost like incest."

Brian just shook his head. "Come on, let's have a drink."

"I think I need a couple."
