*wrinkls nose* Dan is beginning to bug me just the teeniest bit.
"Fuck you!" Justin said, the words delivered in a strangled whisper. "I learned my lesson about counting on anyone to fucking support my ass! I'm never, never gonna be stuck with no place to go the next time someone decides they're fuckin' done with me!"
Yay, Justin! Of course, I'm still a little sad by the fact that Brian bailing on him forced him to lose his dreams about PIFA and all that. I wish Justin would be back to his previous self again, but at the same time, I know life doesn't work like that.
I loved, loved Brian rubbing the kiss into Dan's face. It's like: Brian isn't afraid of showing physical affection to Justin in public, but he's afraid of showing emotional affection. Whereas, Dan is definitely okay with the tender, intimate gestures, but he can't show the down-and-lustful gestures. Definitely an interesting contrast.

Of course, who knows what kind of animalistic urges Dan might discover while dancing to the beat at Babylon!
I just read it--Constant, right? Very visceral--I did like it! Naturally it was right up my alley! I love me some hurt Justin! I've only mentally hurt him lately and I miss his darling unconsciousness. :p
For the love of Justin

Wow, so that's the reason Justin gave up his dream of becoming an artist? Poor baby. I hope Brian is contrite, as he should be. Most of all, I hope our Darling!Justin snaps out of this and finds himself again. It still feels a little like Justin's in a mild state of depression. I want to see that fearless kid again. When he comes out of his shell, Dan/Brian better watch out.
Seriously this was amazing, and just made a very boring Sunday evening quite wonderful! I hope you write more soon because I cannot wait for more!
You managed to capture Brian's wit perfectly! I litteraly laughed out loud at this....."Is my enjoying a cup of coffee really this confusing to people?"
And now you've nailed it. Because Dan might like Justin, and he might be good to Justin, but that's not JUSTIN. It's not the Justin that is the same boy that went home with Brian, that forced his way into his world, that faught his way into PIFA and is that idealistic, smart, brave little fucker that we all know and love. Somewhere along the way, that boy died and now, this Justin is compromising. He's settling for second best in lovers, schools, everything. The brave little fucker is gone, and Justin's not himself anymore. And the kiss Brian gave him is slowly bringing him back. I hope. What a great metaphor for CPR. Hee.
I love Brian here. It took guts for him to seek Justin out in the coffee shop and it took more for him to talk to him as he did. The kiss was the whipped cream on top of the hot cocoa. LOL
Great chapter. Really nicely done. You've moved the fic from a state of calm to the state of a state of turmoil and you've done it very smoothly. Lovely. Thanks. :)

I'm not sure if I'm willing to attribute it to guts or simply to his taking responsibiity for having messed up in the first place. I guess it does take a certain degree of fortitude to fess up!

Hmm, maybe not...

And amazing how one's view of Dan can change with Brian's not-so-subtle, but general honest point of view...
As always, enjoy very much.
Oh, I wrote a little thing, Josselin said you might like it - didn't press any of her 'kinks' as she put it, but 'Myrna'll like it' she said.

I think Brian is very much overreact-in-an-epically-out-of-control-fit-of-hysteria now, apologize later kind of guy!
