Just Visiting

Exactly three days, seven hours and thirteen minutes passed before Justin called Brian from New York. When Brian enquired what took him so long Justin told him he was just "settling in".

Of course Brian forgave him and the conversation carried on as normal until exactly twenty-four minutes in when Justin initiated a quick session of phone sex. It wasn't the same as being together in person and in fact Brian found it completely unsatisfying. Just simply hearing Justin's voice down the phone to know he's okay was satisfactory enough. But if he could get off as well then that was an added bonus.

Brian worried about Justin being miles away in New York whilst he remained in Pittsburgh. He would never admit to it or tell anyone that he was feeling that way. If anyone dared to confront him he'd pass off one of his lame one-liners about how Justin was being held back or that he needs to go out into the world and explore. Of course no one ever believed in his bullshit, neither did Brian but the family went along with it anyway.

All Justin wanted was for Brian to be happy but he knew that if he remained in Pittsburgh he'd always wonder "what if". Staying with Brian would have been the easy option, he chose though to leave the Pitts, leave his family and leave the most important person in his life. Brian admired him and was dam proud too despite it "hurting like a motherfucker".   It hurt in the mornings when Justin wasn't there to wake up with or when they were at Babylon and the only person he wanted to dance with wasn't there.

Justin had to choose though either his art or Brian. NY was a too good of an opportunity to pass up. Saying goodbye was one of the hardest things either of them had to do. But they knew deep down if it's meant to be then they'll end up together, if not sometime soon then in the future.

Exactly two months of Justin being away Brian turns up on his doorstep with a simple "Hey Sunshine".

Wide eyed, mouth agape Justin simply says "Brian?"

"You gonna let me in or are we gonna stand here all night?"

"Come in…what are you…um doing here?" Justin asked as Brian stepped into the apartment.

"I came to see you" Brian simply stated. Justin closed the front door and then stepped into an embrace with Brian. After a few seconds Brian pulled back and a smile broke out onto Justin's face. Almost immediately lips met tentatively, moving slowly together as they reacquainted themselves with each other.

When the kiss broke moments later they leant their foreheads together.

"I've missed you" Justin whispered his lips close to Brian's.

"Me too" Brian returned.

For one weekend Brian and Justin reunited the passion still remained. If they worried about their commitment to each other or how they felt, there was no need. Months may go passed without actually seeing each other but when they do reunite they'd know that things would be okay. They'd work out any problems together and always know that a part of themselves belongs to the other.
