Author's Notes: This is Anti-Michael and Anti-Ethan, so if that bugs you than you might not want to read this. Also, this is OOC on Brian's part, since he isn't that opposed toward relationships and is more romantic ;-) ________________________________________________________________________________ Justin woke up from his sleep to a noise that sounded like someone was torturing a cat and goaned as he tried to cover the annoying sound by burying his head under the covers. And he was having such a good dream. Ethan stopped playing his violin and moved toward his lover, carring a tray of chocolates of all sorts. "Rise and shine, baby." Ethan sat on the bed next to his lover, who was still trying to get back sleep so he wouldn't have to deal with another sappy romantic morning with Ethan. Justin wondered when he started to regret ever meeting Ethan. The only good part about meeting Ethan was his cat, Wolfrem. That poor cat seemed terrified of Ethan and cuddled up to Justin whenever he got the chance. "Good morning, Babycakes. How did you sleep?" Ethan said, rubbing his hands over Justin's bare back. "I was sleeping fine" Justin said faking a smile, "And I told you that I don't like pet names" Justin said, moving out of Ethan's touch. Justin got up and went to take a shower, and wondered why he was still with Ethan if he didn't love him like he used to. He didn't know when he started to fall out of love with him, but it just happened. Justin felt like there was a big part of him that was missing, and as much as Justin tried to ignore it before, he was getting tired of this life. He still cared about Ethan, but knew he didn't love him anymore. He knew if he told Ethan of this, that the other man would be crushed and Justin cared about Ethan to much to hurt him like that. When Justin was done with his shower, he steped out and began to get dressed for work. Ethan was playing his violin again and as soon as Justin steped out of the bathroom, Wolfrem zoomed up to him and literally leaped into his arms. Justin petted Wolfrem and gave him some of his favorite cat chow and some milk and Wolfrem purred in delight. Once Justin was dressed he was just walking out the door when Ethan told him that he would be home late tonight and Justin just nodded and headed out the door, without even asking why. Justin was heading to his car when he saw that someone was moving in next door. He had forgotton about that and knew it would be impolite to not stop by and say 'hi' to the new neighbor. As he was walking over there, he saw the most gorgeous man he had ever laid eyes on. This man was breath-taking. He had the most beautiful hazel eyes and Justin knew it was wrong to look since he had a boyfriend. Justin stopped walking when he saw that the man seemed to be really busy, so Justin decided that he would welcome him later, and walked back to his car to go to work. Justin was about to get in his car when he heard someone coming up behind him. "Aren't you going to be a good little neighbor and welcome me to the neighborhood?" The man said. Justin almost swooned at the sexy way the man said these words and Justin had to control himself. "Umm...yeah, but....you seemed busy...so...I didn't want to disturb you..." Justin stuttered, and cursed himself for sounding like an idiot in front of this beautiful man. The man just laughed and held out his hand, "Hi, I'm Brian Kinney. I'm your new neighbor." The man said simply. Justin held out his hand and shook Brian's. "I'm Justin Taylor. Nice to meet you Brian." Brian grinned sexily and took Justin's hand up to his lips and kissed the back of it. Justin blushed furiously and felt his knees go to jello and quickly took back his hand. "I have a boyfriend!" Justin blurted out suddenly. Brian just smirked and laughed, but his chest tightened and felt like he couldn't breath. He couldn't believe that this beautiful blonde was taken. He wondered who this lucky man was. "I'm sorry, Brian, but I have to go. I'm late for work already." Justin said smiling at Brian, and walked away, waving goodbye. "Where do you work?" Brian felt he had to ask. Justin hesitated before answering, "I work at the Liberty Diner." Justin quickly got in his car and drove fast to the diner, all while grinning like a fool. Hoping that maybe Brian was going to go to the diner to see him. Justin knew that Brian probably wasn't going all the way down to the diner just to see him, but he could still hope, right?
