chadmom IN COMMENTS: I read this a couple of months ago. I think it was a one-shot and Brian had established himself in NYC after he got the job he interviewed for in season 1. It has been several years and justin moved up as well and established his career there as well. Brian runs into him at a club and ends up becoming best friends with him and falling for him. I remember both of them going back to Pittsburgh to visit the family and Brian makes sure he sits next to Justin and Michael asks Justin something along the lines if, "you know he's in love with you, right?"
I remember really loving it and would love to find it. Anything similar is also welcome. Thanks!
