Prompt #22: Death
Title: Okay
Pairing: Brian/AJ (Backstreet Boys)
Rating: PG-13- slight language
Warnings: None
Summary: AJ comes to grips with life, love, and the possibility of death.
Feedback: Roks my sock and feeds my muses. Comment if you like :)
AJ could remember the exact moment his world had turned upside down. He was twenty years old and it was the first time in his life that he’d ever been truly scared. Up until then he was more immature and self-centered than he cared to admit. Acting more like his younger band-mate than the grown man he was. He never really thought much about death. But that was before reality had bitch-slapped him in the face and made him realize that no one is guaranteed another day.
He’d never felt that gut-wrenching pain that came with knowing someone you loved might not make it. Never felt the all-consuming fear of death looming close at hand. AJ had never been more terrified in all of his life.
He’d never really been big on prayer. It wasn’t that he didn’t have faith, he just didn’t take the time to stop and do it that often. Suddenly he was doing it every day, sometimes every hour. After all it was all he could do, all any of them could do.
He didn’t understand then, and honestly he still couldn’t, why he had to be the one to go through it all. Why the only person that AJ had ever know that was genuinely good and decent had to be put through so much hell. He didn’t deserve it, no one really did, but he’d deserved it even less.
AJ had pretty much known from the moment he met him that something big was happening. Something life-altering, yet something it took him years of adolescent angst to put his finger on. He was in love, and he was in love with a man. For a long time he didn’t know how to deal with that.
But when he came face to face with the possibility that he might lose him, truly lose him, his own issues just didn’t seem that important anymore. He knew what he felt was real, true. The sharp pain twisting in his gut at the thought of having to live life without him told him it was.
It was the most horrible time in his life and yet at the same time it was the beginning of something more wonderful than AJ could have ever imagined. He had to almost lose him to make him see how much he needed him. It was the push he needed to make him take that first step.
Their first kiss had been in a hospital. AJ trying to hold back tears and Brian wiping them away and promising him that everything was going to be okay. AJ could still vividly remember that moment. The way Brian had looked so frail and yet so damn strong all at the same time. The surprise in his eyes after AJ had kissed him, then the love shining back at him when AJ had finally confessed how he felt. The feel of Brian’s lips pressed softly against his, their fingers tangled together and Brian squeezing them softly to reassure him it was okay.
Now, he was older and maybe just a bit wiser. He’d faced death many more times since that day, his own on a few occasions. But Brian was always there for him like he was that day. Still kissing him softly to reassure him things would be okay. And AJ knew now that they were okay. As long as he had Brian, as long as he could feel the steady beat of the heart beneath him as he pressed himself tightly against his lover, things would always be okay.

Prompt #26- Smell: Brian/AJ
I give you prompt#26- Smell- wherein Brian muses on his favorite scent.
Prompt #26: Smell
Title: His Favorite
Pairing: Brian/AJ (Backstreet Boys)
Rating: PG-13- slight language
Warnings: None
Summary: Everyone has a favorite smell...
Feedback: Roks my sock and feeds my muses. Comment if you like :)
Nick would say that his favorite smell is the ocean, the slight tang of salt in the air as the waves crash against the sand. Kevin would say his was the various smells of the forest, the woodsy aroma of trees, dirt, and clean mountain air. Howie would say a batch of his mom’s homemade cookies was the best smell in the world. AJ would press his lips right against the sensitive spot behind Brian’s ear and tell him that the smell of sweat on his body after they’ve made love is the sexiest scent known to man.
And then Brian would have to disagree with him. Because out of every smell he could think of nothing compared to AJ. Just AJ. It didn’t matter if it was the slightly pungent odor of cigarette smoke that clung to him, or if it was the crisp scent of the soap he’d used that morning that Brian could feel invading his senses as he snuggled his head in the cradle of AJ’s neck.
Brian didn’t even mind the sweat that clung to AJ after one of their shows . The only smell that had ever bothered him was the stench of alcohol on AJ’s breath after a night of drinking, but that wasn’t there anymore. It was replaced by the sharp freshness of a wintergreen mint that AJ would pop into his mouth before kissing him deeply, leaving a cool tingle on his tongue.
Yes, Brian would have to say that his favorite smell was AJ. It didn’t matter to him whether AJ was fresh out of the shower or smelled like a pack of Marlboro’s, to Brian it was a comforting smell. Letting him know that AJ was his and that the scent of him wouldn’t be leaving anytime soon.

There are a few of my faves- which I am sure have been spammed already :P
*giggles* I don't think there are words for this pic, cause it's AJ's ass and Brian all over AJ's ass...and yeah :P
Dear Lord...this one kills. It's all whispers and waist-touching and leaning...it's rather squee worthy.
This one is what pretty much started me thinking "Humm..." LOL
Because Brian is acting all shy and AJ's being protective of his man :P
AJ's staking his claim this time...
Cause holy friggin hell they're wet and touching, and AJ's ass just begs to be smacked here.
The full body hug and the look on Brian's face...daaaamn. This pic is probably my fave.
*snorts* Brian is mind-fucking AJ's ass here, LMAO.
You didn't think I would post some AROK pics without including the holy grail now did you?? Brian just couldn't control himself here :P
The angle...I love whoever took this picture very much!
