Author’s Notes: Takes place after episode 214. Justin’s POV.
Brian, at times, is the easiest person to live with. Mostly because he’s an ignorant, dense bastard who only minds his own business. And Michael’s, occasionally.
There are times when I would wish that he noticed things, just by himself, and then did something about them. Show some kind of reaction. But I have learned to deal with the opposite, and in the meanwhile I have also learned to appreciate it.
At times, I wonder how blind and uncaring he actually is. The level he reaches with his “all-for-myself” bullshit is unhealthy, I swear.
Like a few nights back, when I went to Sap’s party, got drugged, and was almost raped… Brian told me from the beginning it wasn’t a good idea to work at Babylon - or in general for the man who owns it. He perhaps didn’t say it in so many words, but I got the hint. See if I cared.
I almost got hurt, bad. No one to blame except myself. I admit that freely.
When I went back to his place after the… accident, I tried to act normal. I ended up topping Brian for the first time in my life. How normal is that?
He said nothing, though. Did nothing. Maybe that’s why I didn’t press the matter, either. If I seemed so “ok” for him, maybe I was. Besides, had I told him, I would have been up for yet another round of “I told you so.”
That I can live without.
The End
