(no subject)
Just got done watching QaF Season 2. Wow. In-fucking-credible. IN-FUCKING-CREDIBLE! Just when you think it can't get any better than Justin dancing on the bar with angel wings, it does. Oh yes, it really does.
IF YOU WANT TO WATCH QUEER AS FOLK AND WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT'S ABOUT...
Okay, for those of you who don't know what this show is about let me break it down for you. Boy meets boy. Boy falls in love with boy. Boy breaks boy's heart. Again. And again. And again. And again. You get the point. And again.
So, I thought I'd sum up the last few episodes of S2 because they will make you obsessed with this show, if you are not already. Here are your main characters for tonight:
BRIAN KINNEY
Brian Kinney is an asshole by day and slut by night. Sound appealing? Thought so. He enjoys spending his nights at Club Babylon doing poppers (some form of Coke), drinking, dancing, and fucking. Fucking, in particular. Brian is in love. The only problem is, he doesn't know it yet. Everyone else knows it. He's just got to much fucking pride to admit it. He is 30+ years old and will probably kill himself before he reaches 40. So, who is the lucky guy that Brian is madly in love with? Ladies and gentlemen, introducing...
JUSTIN TAYLOR
Justin Taylor is that kid in High School that you know is gay and every girl has a crush on, but every guy in school wants to bash his head in (literally). Justin enjoys spending quiet evenings inside watching a romatic movie with his boyfriend. Unfortunately for Justin, Brian Kinney is his boyfriend and Brian Kinney doesn't do romantic. Justin is 18 years old and has decided that he is happy to grow old as long as he can do it with the love of his life. Unfortunately for Justin, Brian Kinney is the love of his life. Do you see where I'm going with this?
ETHAN NOT-IMPORTANT-ENOUGH-TO-HAVE-A-LAST-NAME
Ethan plays the violin and is the kid in High School that walks around with headphones on, telling people he is too good for them because he can play an instrument. We all know this kid, hell even I know this kid. He enjoys spending quiet evenings at his trashy apartment eating italian food and enticing blonde boys by telling them he wants to spend his life with them. Enter Justin. Poor Justin is suffering from an ignorant, stuck up, arrogant, bastard of a boyfriend and is looking for someone who will promise him forever. Luckily for Justin, Ethan will do just that.
MICHAEL NOVOTNY
Michael Novotny is dating this guy named Ben. He loves him (I think) but he has this obsession with Brian Kinney. As do most people on this show. But Michael's obsession with Brian is borderline love. Brian loves Michael, just not the way Michael wants him to. Michael is basically the only person Brian hasn't fucked. Brian's even fucked Ben. So, Michael does everything in his power to make sure Brian is taken care of and is always there to tell him how amazing and how flawless he is. Really, we should probably be blaming Michael for Brian's arrogance. The way he constantly showers him with worship and love it's no wonder Brian is a slut and thinks he can do no wrong.
Now at the moment Brian and Justin are living together in Brian's loft and their relationship abides by the following rules:
1. You must be home before 3 AM or your balls turn into pumpkins.
2. No names or numbers exchanged and they each have to give eachther the okay before going off to fuck somebody.
3. Don't fuck the same person twice.
4. Don't kiss anyone on the lips.
Simple enough right? You would think. Unfortunately, after following these rules long enough it gets tedius when your boyfriend is still fucking everyone in sight, even in front of you and doesn't seem to be changing the way you want him to. So here is where our problems begin. Brian has invited Justin on their first get away together! They are going snowboarding in Vermont for the week and Justin has never been more excited because Brian has never been romantic, but he must be if they are going to rent out the fanciest hotel in Vermont and go snowboarding together. All is well in the BJ relationship - oh nope. Brian fucks it up. He has a business meeting to suddenly attend to in Chicago. You can't really blame Brian for this because he literally had to take this meeting or he would've been fired. Justin is only 18 and doesn't understand this.
Brian: "I'm not going snowboarding. I'm going to Chicago."
Justin: "Chicago? What the hell is in Chicago?"
Brian: "My new account."
Justin: "But we're going to Vermont tomorrow."
Brian: "Some other time-"
Justin: "C'mon you promised."
Brian: "It's business."
Justin: "Fuck business!"
Brian: "That's exactly who you're fucking. It's business. It's my business."
Now, by the end of this scene you know that Brian is feeling guilty, especially with the looks that Justin is giving him but he can't help it. He's Brian Kinney and he needs his job. So, here's the thing. Justin decides he doesn't need Brian to go have fun in Vermont. Justin decides he's going to Vermont without even tellling Brian he's going. Because "it's not a psychward. We don't have to sign in and out to tell eachother where we're going." Brian gets home from his trip to Chicago and he has exciting news - he's made partner at his firm. He comes home to a rude awakening. Justin has already left for Vermont.
- END OF 217
A week later Justin comes back from his trip to Vermont to find Brian fucking some random guy on their bed. Brian acknowledges that Justin is home, kind of. Justin goes to tell Daphne how dissapointed he is that Brian never even called him while he was in Vermont and they stumble upon Ethan. Justin has already met Ethan and he knows that Ethan wants his hot ass. They connect on an artistic level or whatever.
Ethan: "$80, not too bad. Considering it's not really me playing. It comes through me. From some place else."
Justin: "It's amazing that you said that. When I draw it feels the same way."
They go back to Ethan's apartment and talk about Justin's boyfriend. Justin starts feeling tempted so he leaves, but not before inviting Ethan to his Art display.Justin arrives back at Brian's loft and starts drawing. Brian shows up and, of course, talks about nothing but himself. This scene is seriously depressing.
Justin: "You're home late."
Brian: "I got a new account."
Justin: "That's nice. [mocking Brian] How was your day Justin?"
Brian: "Fucking one day to do a presentation."
Justin: "It was.. not bad, thanks for asking. How was yours? [as Brian] A whole lot better now that I'm with you."
Brian mumbles something about his new account.
Justin: "Did you miss me? Pfft. [as Brian] Every minute you were away. You're all I thought about. Please, never leave me again."
Brian: "Who the fuck are you talking to?"
Justin: "No one."
Brian: "And what's with the little voice? Are you planning to become a ventriliquist?"
Justin: "It's one way to hear what you want."
Brian: "So, how was your trip?"
Justin: "Not much fun without you."
Brian: "Why didn't you tell me you were going?"
Haha! A break in Brian's armor! See, we know he cares.
Justin: "I didn't think you'd care."
Brian: "There are things I have to do."
Justin: "Did you miss me?"
Okay, this line is so hard to watch. Randy is such a good actor. As soon as Justin says it, you can see it on his face. He hates himself for making himself so vulnerable to Brian. Brian doesn't answer the question. Instead he fucks Justin.Ethan shows up at Justin's art exhibit and wants to a buy a piece. Justin says he'll give it to him for a song. Ethan agrees.
Cut to Justin at Ethan's place. They are having a picnic on the floor, eating expensive italian food. I thought this douche was poor. Maybe he is poor because he spends his money on italian food.
Justin: "So, do you have a boyfriend?"
Ethan: "Ah, changing the subject."
Justin: "C'mon, I'm curious."
He basically explains Justin's love life in a few simple sentences.
Ethan: "There was this guy. And I was... so fucking crazy about him - I can't - I can't explain it."
Justin: "You don't have to."
Ethan: "We were together for about a year. But he liked to go to the clubs, party, and bring guys home. For awhile I have to admit it was pretty exciting."
Justin: "I suppose it can be."
Ethan: "But then I realized it's not what I want."
Justin: "What do you want?"
Ethan: "I want to be with somebody who only wants to be with me. Who doesn't need to see other people or be in the scene every night. I want to be with somebody who I can have a picnic on the floor with and tell things to that I've never told anybody."
I've gotta hand it to Ethan. He's got Justin eating out of the palm of his hand by now. Who wouldn't fall for his bullshit? I sure as fuck would. Tortured artist meets tortured artist. It's written in the stars and all that other crap.
After feeling guilty about spending the day with Ethan and also a bit curious as to what Brian would do if he set up a picnic at home, he does just that. He buys expensive italian food and asks Brian to spend a romantic evening with him. Needless to say, Brian could care less what Justin wants. He's going to Babylon.
The next night Justin shows up at Ethan's apartment. He "came for my song." They "make love" and CowLip actually has the nerve to play the Cure's "Love Song".
- END OF 218
Justin and Ethan are lieing in bed. Ethan is feeding him bullshit about how Justin is like his violin. All the stroking and the sounds. Blah blah blah. Justin gets freaked out and leaves. He's not freaked out by the things he's saying, he's just afraid that if he stays to long it would make it all real and he would really be cheating on Brian. This feeling soon fades.Justin gets home late and Brian asks him where he's been. He tells him he was studying. When Brian tries to kiss him, Justin says he needs a shower. Brian doesn't think much of it so he follows him into the shower.
Justin: "You scared me."
Brian: "Relax. It's not that kind of shower scene."
Justin clearly adores Brian, now that he's in the shower. Clean of the things he and Ethan have been doing all day. Brian kisses him.
Justin: "I though you had work to do."
Brian: "Well I got all sweaty to."
They start kissing again. Justin pulls back and looks at Brian. He's debating whether or not to tell him about Ethan.
Justin: "Brian..."
Brian looks at him waiting to hear what he has to say. Instead of saying anything Justin kisses him again and they have sex.
For your viewing pleasure:
Okay, so I haven't talked about Michael much, have I? Probably because, when it comes to Brian is always jealous and whiney and I hate him when he's like that. But he's involved in this triangle. How? He's the first to find out about Ethan and Justin's affair. He sees them kissing the street corner. He discusses it with Ben and Ben tells him to not tell Brian. It's rule two of gay ettiquette. Michael of course can't control himself and hints to Brian that Justin could be cheating on him. Brian plays it like he doesn't care, but his actions speak louder than words. After getting home from his most recent rendevouz with Ethan, Brian takes this opportunity to play with his mind.
Justin: "Jesus, Brian! I thought you were bowling."
Brian: "Game's over."
Justin: "How'd you do?"
Brian: "Three cheers to the winners."
Justin: "Way to go."
Brian takes a gulp of his scotch and then sets it down on the table and sighs.
Brian: "It wasn't us."
Justin fidgets uncomfortably and walks toward the bedroom. Brian catches him.
Brian: "Where you going?"
Justin tries to get out of his arms.
Justin: "To take a shower."
Brian: "You sure have been taking a lot of showers lately. C'mere."
Justin: "Later!"
Brian: "Now."
Justin: "Can't we please do this after I take a shower?"
Brian: "I like the smell of you. Not soap."
Justin contemplates whether he's going to do this or not. Brian decides for him. Brian kisses him roughly and they make out for about 20 minutes. Brian never takes his eyes off Justin, probably wondering how Justin got to be such a good liar. By now both of them are going crazy, practically ripping off eachother's clothes. They sink to the floor. Also for your viewing pleasure, because - dayumn!
Brian's hands are somewhere down Justin's pants. I don't really know what's going on. My mind is spinning as much as Justin's is.
Brian: "You like that?"
Justin: "Yes."
Brian suddenly stops.
Justin: "Why'd you stop?"
Brian stares at him, waiting for Justin to tell him the truth.
Justin: "Brian..."
Brian: "Go take a shower. You stink."
- END OF 219
Michael and Justin are at Mikey's comic book store the next day, looking at the new issue of Rage (Mikey and Justin's own comic book). Brian walks in, as if nothing happened the other night. Justin seems to think the same. They discuss the party Brian is throwing at Babylon for the new issue. They all seem excited. Justin tells Brian he's going to school and leaves. Brian stares after him, knowing exactly where he's going. Mikey comforts him. Shocking.
Cut to Ethan and Justin lieing naked in bed. Justin is leaving, but before he does Ethan gives him his new cd. Dedicated to Justin.
Cut to Ethan playing on the streets. Brian walks past him and drops a $100 in his violin case. Ethan runs after him and says he dropped a $100 in his case. Brian tells him he's starving. Ethan says he's just a little hungry. Brian says he could be making more money and that he's going to get some coffee. Ethan follows him and they get a table at Liberty diner. If you haven't figured it out yet, Brian loves to play with people's minds. He tells poor, naive Ethan that he could appear in a commercial. He mentions Justin's song and Ethan says, "No shit. That's on my cd." Brian replies, "It's one of my favorites." So I'm assuming that Brian found Justin's cd that Ethan gave him. Ah, Justin. If you're going to cheat on someone, especially Brian, you shouldn't just leave your cds lieing around that said cheater gave to you. As if on cue, Justin walks in. Brian gives Ethan his card and mentions his name. A lightbulb goes off in Ethan's head. This is Justin's boyfriend. And I have to hand it to Brian. He is in-fucking-credible. Justin comes over and sees that they're talking. Brian says they were having a business meeting. Ethan looks at Brian like he's the devil. Brian smiles as he watches everyone's reaction. This is his "fuck you" for Justin thinking he was so dumb that he would never figure it out. Ethan leaves. Justin looks at Brian like he's an ass. Brian looks away.
Cut to Brian's apartment. Justin walks in and sees Brian staring at his computer.
Justin: "I'm sorry."
Brian: "For what?"
Justin: "You know what for. You know what for."
Brian: "I know. You were the poor helpless victim of a love bashing."
Justin: "I should've told you about it."
Brian chokes out a laugh at that.
Brian: "And taken all the fun out of it..? So how big's his dick?"
Justin: "That has nothing to do with it."
Justin starts to walk away but Brian quickly catches him.
Brian: "Since when? You love cock. You love it down your throat. You love it up your ass, you love to riding it. And after you cum, you love to fall asleep with it still inside of you."
By this point Brian's hand is in Justin's pants.
Justin: "Cut it out."
Justin pushes him away.
Justin: "Cut it out."
Brian: "You're hard. So, don't tell me it doesn't matter."
Justin: "There are other things!"
Brian: "Flowers? Picnics? Violins?"
Justin: "He loves me."
Brian: "Dreamy high school boy."
Justin: "In ways that you can't."
Brian: "In ways that I won't."
Justin: "He told me that I'm all he wants."
Brian: "They're still using that one?"
Justin: "It's more than you've ever said."
Brian: "And it's more than I ever will - so, uh... What the fuck are you still doing here?"
Justin: "Would you care if I wasn't?"
Brian: "It's your call where you want to be. You decide."
Justin heads back to Ethan's apartment to talk.
Ethan: "Your boyfriend's an asshole!"
Justin: "He's not an asshole! He's - He's honest. If anyone's an asshole, I am for lieing."
No, Justin. You're boyfriend really is an asshole.
Ethan: "How did he find out?"
Justin: "I don't know."
Ethan: "You didn't ask him?"
Justin: "He'd never tell me."
Ethan: "Well you can tell him - from me - that he can keep his fucking donation to the arts."
Justin: "He can afford to give it away - you can't."
Ethan: "At least now I know why you were with him. God, he's beautiful. Must be great in bed."
Justin: "He is. It's when we're not in bed that's a problem."
So. What is Justin to do? Stay with forever young Brian who will always fuck around and treat him like shit or be with Ethan and live in a trashy apartment, not be able to afford anything he wants but be loved by a tortured artist. Clearly, the answer is Brian.
Justin shows up at Mikey's comic book store. Justin looks like shit. I mean, really. He needs to shave.
Michael: "I told him."
Justin: "How did you know?"
Michael: "I saw the two of you kissing on the street."
Justin is in disbelief at this point. He looks like he's about ready to kick someone's ass.
Justin: "You asshole."
Michael: "Don't call me an asshole you ungrateful little prick!"
Damn, Mikey boy sure knows how to dish it out.
Justin: "Why don't you mind you're own business!"
Michael: "Brian is my business - he's my best friend!"
Justin: "Fuck you, Michael! Fuck you - fuck you!"
That's what I'm thinking at this point. Fuck you, Michael. We all damn well know that you told Brian because you hate Justin.
It's the night of the Rage party. Justin is dancing and walks by Mel and Linds. Mel tells him that Brian is looking for him. Justin says, "He is?" Mel replies, "It's your big night, sweetie. He wants to be with you." Justin looks like he's in 7th heaven. Has Brian forgiven him and wants to treat him better? Never going to take him for granted again? Hahaha - riiiight.
Justin goes to find Brian. He goes to the back rooms and we watch his heart break as he makes his decision. Justin sees Brian fucking a random guy, obviously he could care less about being with Justin on his big night. But I know I someone who does. Justin walks out of the back rooms and finds Ethan. I seriously can't believe he came. Neither does Justin for a split second. Justin walks over to him. Ethan says something romantic about practicing Bethoven or however you spell his name. Justin smiles, so Ethan is okay in my book. I love it when Justin smiles.
Ethan: "I tried to forget about you, but I can't. You're all I think about."
Guess who takes this opportune moment to exit the back rooms. None other than Brian fucking Kinney. Brian spots Justin talking to Ethan immediatly. Ethan takes this oppurtunity to kiss Justin. Justin happily kisses him back. Debbie and Michael watch as Brian and Justin's new obstacle for season 3 is set. Justin turns around and sees that Brian is watching. Brian takes off his mask. Yay symbolism! He kind of smiles at Justin, as if saying "It's okay. You've made your choice." Justin looks back at him as if saying, "I'm sorry." Ethan and Justin leave. Brian's smile quickly fades as he watches them leave. He looks like he's almost about to cry. Mikey watches him, making sure he's okay. Fuck off, Mikey. Brian puts his mask back and loses himself in the dancing and music and drugs. Brian Kinney doesn't need anybody.
- END OF FINALE
Omg that took for fucking ever. I hope someone reads it, then. I can't even express my joy for this season. It was so fucking good.
IF YOU WANT TO WATCH QUEER AS FOLK AND WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT'S ABOUT...
Okay, for those of you who don't know what this show is about let me break it down for you. Boy meets boy. Boy falls in love with boy. Boy breaks boy's heart. Again. And again. And again. And again. You get the point. And again.
So, I thought I'd sum up the last few episodes of S2 because they will make you obsessed with this show, if you are not already. Here are your main characters for tonight:

Justin: "To take a shower."
Brian: "You sure have been taking a lot of showers lately. C'mere."
Justin: "Later!"
Brian: "Now."
Justin: "Can't we please do this after I take a shower?"
Brian: "I like the smell of you. Not soap."
Justin contemplates whether he's going to do this or not. Brian decides for him. Brian kisses him roughly and they make out for about 20 minutes. Brian never takes his eyes off Justin, probably wondering how Justin got to be such a good liar. By now both of them are going crazy, practically ripping off eachother's clothes. They sink to the floor. Also for your viewing pleasure, because - dayumn!
Brian's hands are somewhere down Justin's pants. I don't really know what's going on. My mind is spinning as much as Justin's is.
Brian: "You like that?"
Justin: "Yes."
Brian suddenly stops.
Justin: "Why'd you stop?"
Brian stares at him, waiting for Justin to tell him the truth.
Justin: "Brian..."
Brian: "Go take a shower. You stink."
- END OF 219
Michael and Justin are at Mikey's comic book store the next day, looking at the new issue of Rage (Mikey and Justin's own comic book). Brian walks in, as if nothing happened the other night. Justin seems to think the same. They discuss the party Brian is throwing at Babylon for the new issue. They all seem excited. Justin tells Brian he's going to school and leaves. Brian stares after him, knowing exactly where he's going. Mikey comforts him. Shocking.
Cut to Ethan and Justin lieing naked in bed. Justin is leaving, but before he does Ethan gives him his new cd. Dedicated to Justin.
Cut to Ethan playing on the streets. Brian walks past him and drops a $100 in his violin case. Ethan runs after him and says he dropped a $100 in his case. Brian tells him he's starving. Ethan says he's just a little hungry. Brian says he could be making more money and that he's going to get some coffee. Ethan follows him and they get a table at Liberty diner. If you haven't figured it out yet, Brian loves to play with people's minds. He tells poor, naive Ethan that he could appear in a commercial. He mentions Justin's song and Ethan says, "No shit. That's on my cd." Brian replies, "It's one of my favorites." So I'm assuming that Brian found Justin's cd that Ethan gave him. Ah, Justin. If you're going to cheat on someone, especially Brian, you shouldn't just leave your cds lieing around that said cheater gave to you. As if on cue, Justin walks in. Brian gives Ethan his card and mentions his name. A lightbulb goes off in Ethan's head. This is Justin's boyfriend. And I have to hand it to Brian. He is in-fucking-credible. Justin comes over and sees that they're talking. Brian says they were having a business meeting. Ethan looks at Brian like he's the devil. Brian smiles as he watches everyone's reaction. This is his "fuck you" for Justin thinking he was so dumb that he would never figure it out. Ethan leaves. Justin looks at Brian like he's an ass. Brian looks away.
Cut to Brian's apartment. Justin walks in and sees Brian staring at his computer.
Justin: "I'm sorry."
Brian: "For what?"
Justin: "You know what for. You know what for."
Brian: "I know. You were the poor helpless victim of a love bashing."
Justin: "I should've told you about it."
Brian chokes out a laugh at that.
Brian: "And taken all the fun out of it..? So how big's his dick?"
Justin: "That has nothing to do with it."
Justin starts to walk away but Brian quickly catches him.
Brian: "Since when? You love cock. You love it down your throat. You love it up your ass, you love to riding it. And after you cum, you love to fall asleep with it still inside of you."
By this point Brian's hand is in Justin's pants.
Justin: "Cut it out."
Justin pushes him away.
Justin: "Cut it out."
Brian: "You're hard. So, don't tell me it doesn't matter."
Justin: "There are other things!"
Brian: "Flowers? Picnics? Violins?"
Justin: "He loves me."
Brian: "Dreamy high school boy."
Justin: "In ways that you can't."
Brian: "In ways that I won't."
Justin: "He told me that I'm all he wants."
Brian: "They're still using that one?"
Justin: "It's more than you've ever said."
Brian: "And it's more than I ever will - so, uh... What the fuck are you still doing here?"
Justin: "Would you care if I wasn't?"
Brian: "It's your call where you want to be. You decide."
Justin heads back to Ethan's apartment to talk.
Ethan: "Your boyfriend's an asshole!"
Justin: "He's not an asshole! He's - He's honest. If anyone's an asshole, I am for lieing."
No, Justin. You're boyfriend really is an asshole.
Ethan: "How did he find out?"
Justin: "I don't know."
Ethan: "You didn't ask him?"
Justin: "He'd never tell me."
Ethan: "Well you can tell him - from me - that he can keep his fucking donation to the arts."
Justin: "He can afford to give it away - you can't."
Ethan: "At least now I know why you were with him. God, he's beautiful. Must be great in bed."
Justin: "He is. It's when we're not in bed that's a problem."
So. What is Justin to do? Stay with forever young Brian who will always fuck around and treat him like shit or be with Ethan and live in a trashy apartment, not be able to afford anything he wants but be loved by a tortured artist. Clearly, the answer is Brian.
Justin shows up at Mikey's comic book store. Justin looks like shit. I mean, really. He needs to shave.
Michael: "I told him."
Justin: "How did you know?"
Michael: "I saw the two of you kissing on the street."
Justin is in disbelief at this point. He looks like he's about ready to kick someone's ass.
Justin: "You asshole."
Michael: "Don't call me an asshole you ungrateful little prick!"
Damn, Mikey boy sure knows how to dish it out.
Justin: "Why don't you mind you're own business!"
Michael: "Brian is my business - he's my best friend!"
Justin: "Fuck you, Michael! Fuck you - fuck you!"
That's what I'm thinking at this point. Fuck you, Michael. We all damn well know that you told Brian because you hate Justin.
It's the night of the Rage party. Justin is dancing and walks by Mel and Linds. Mel tells him that Brian is looking for him. Justin says, "He is?" Mel replies, "It's your big night, sweetie. He wants to be with you." Justin looks like he's in 7th heaven. Has Brian forgiven him and wants to treat him better? Never going to take him for granted again? Hahaha - riiiight.
Justin goes to find Brian. He goes to the back rooms and we watch his heart break as he makes his decision. Justin sees Brian fucking a random guy, obviously he could care less about being with Justin on his big night. But I know I someone who does. Justin walks out of the back rooms and finds Ethan. I seriously can't believe he came. Neither does Justin for a split second. Justin walks over to him. Ethan says something romantic about practicing Bethoven or however you spell his name. Justin smiles, so Ethan is okay in my book. I love it when Justin smiles.
Ethan: "I tried to forget about you, but I can't. You're all I think about."
Guess who takes this opportune moment to exit the back rooms. None other than Brian fucking Kinney. Brian spots Justin talking to Ethan immediatly. Ethan takes this oppurtunity to kiss Justin. Justin happily kisses him back. Debbie and Michael watch as Brian and Justin's new obstacle for season 3 is set. Justin turns around and sees that Brian is watching. Brian takes off his mask. Yay symbolism! He kind of smiles at Justin, as if saying "It's okay. You've made your choice." Justin looks back at him as if saying, "I'm sorry." Ethan and Justin leave. Brian's smile quickly fades as he watches them leave. He looks like he's almost about to cry. Mikey watches him, making sure he's okay. Fuck off, Mikey. Brian puts his mask back and loses himself in the dancing and music and drugs. Brian Kinney doesn't need anybody.
- END OF FINALE
Omg that took for fucking ever. I hope someone reads it, then. I can't even express my joy for this season. It was so fucking good.
