Title: Stubborn Shit
Pairing: B/J
Summary: Everyone talks about Justin. What does Justin talk about?
Timeline: Season 1
They talked about that stubborn shit all the time. Brian was surprised that, after a while, it only mildly annoyed him to listen to his friends rant about the trick he took home one time too many; well, humans get used to everything, he supposed.
“Did you see that bubble butt of his?! Honey, lemme tell you, that even tempts me!”, Emmett would say. It was usually him who initiated conversations about the kid, but everyone seemed to have an opinion they felt they just needed to voice: “That talent, Brian! Have you ever seen anything like this in a seventeen-year-old? In a few years, he will be able to conquer New York in a single stride”, Lindsay said on discovering one of the numerous sketches of a naked Brian the kid had done. “He’s got balls, you gotta hand it to him”, added Melanie with a glint in her eyes that made Brian expect, if not anticipate, her following words: “Only a few people manage not to take your shit all the time.” Ted’s comment went along similar lines: “He’s outwitting you already.” And when Brian laughed that off, Theodore smirked: “You just wait until those SAT scores get in.”
Even Michael, his supposedly best friend, found praise for the little shit: “Well, there is a reason why you’ve fucked him more often than anyone else, isn’t there?”
And at the end of the day, Brian might even say: “He’s not half-bad.”
And while people praised his appearance, talent, bravery, intelligence and sexual abilities, Justin Taylor sat in a bedroom that wasn’t his, in a home that wasn’t his, with a mother downstairs that wasn’t his, and looked at the drawing of the man he loved who wasn’t his, either.
He shivered, put down the pencil from his shaking fingers and curled up under the covers, looking for protection and safety in a childish gesture, because he was only a teenager, after all. A scared, self-conscious teenager, thrown out by his parents and fighting for his place in the world, and in this very moment filled with doubts and insecurities and fear.
It was that he got up in the morning that made Justin Taylor special.
