Sorry it took so long, but chapter 4 is up now, so enjoy. And I'm a comment whore, so let me know if you like it!!!!
“Deb, anytime now! I don’t have all day.” Brian said, while waiting impatiently at the diner’s counter for his order. The lunch crowd was in full force today, and with Justin in the hospital, they were down one waiter.
“Hold your balls! I’ve only got two hands, your order will be done in a minute.” Deb shouted back on her way to the kitchen.
Brian sighed and went back to waiting for his food. He couldn’t believe what a twat Justin was being. Not only did he refuse to eat the breakfast that the hospital provided but he made Brian fetch him lunch as well. According to Justin, if Brian refused to take him home than he would just have to deal with bringing him decent food. Justin refused to be stuck dining on the stuff the hospital dished out, once had been enough.
Ten minutes had passed before Deb brought him his order. “Here you go, honey. Tell Sunshine I love him and I’ll see him tonight.”
“Okay, Deb.” Brian quickly existed the diner and headed for his ‘vette’.

“Are you sure you didn’t know there were drugs in your drink?” The cop asked as he looked up from his notebook at Justin, who was sitting in his hospital bed.
“Yes. Like I told you, I didn’t know about the drugs. If I’d known it was drugged, why would I’ve drank it?” Justin replied with frustration. The cop had been there for the past twenty minutes grilling him about last night.
“You tell me. Were you looking to get high?” The cop sneered.
“No! Of course I wasn’t looking to get high.”
“So, you’ve never taken recreational drugs before?” The cop questioned Justin, while writing something in his notebook.
“No. That’s not what I’m saying.” Justin felt very angry and tried to keep his temper in check. “Look, all I’m saying is that last night, drugs were put into my drink and I didn’t consent to it.”
“Do you often consent to guys putting drugs in your drink?” The cop asked, disgust evident in his voice.
“No--” Justin’s answer was cut off by Brian as he strode into the room.
“Who the fuck are you and what the fuck are you doing in here.” Brian shouted as he made his way over to Justin.
“I’m with the Pittsburgh PD and this is none of your business.”
“It’s my business when your interrogating my partner.” Brian snarled at the cop.
“I wasn’t interrogating him, I was just asking him what happened last night.”
“That’s not what it sounded like to me. It sounded like you were accusing him of wanting to be drugged.”
“Look, Mr.?”
“Kinney.”
“Mr. Kinney---”
“No, you look. Get the fuck out of this room. You won’t be asking him anymore questions without a lawyer present.” Brian dismissed the cop and turned back to Justin.
“You okay?” Brian’s voice softened as he sat on Justin’s bed and took the smaller man in his arms.
“Yeah. He just pissed me off. Can you believe the nerve of him asking me if I wanted to be drugged?” Justin pressed his face into Brian’s neck and wrapped his arms around Brian’s back.
“He’s an asshole, forget him. No one thinks that you wanted to be drugged.”
“Yeah, I know.” Brian held onto Justin for awhile, giving them both time to calm down. “So, you bring lunch?” Justin asked with a smile as he leaned back against the pillows.
“Yes, I brought lunch. But don’t expect me to keep smuggling food in here for you.” Brian replied, handing Justin the bag with the food.
“You won’t have to. The doctor came in today and said all my tests came back normal. They're releasing me tomorrow morning.” Justin started removing the sandwiches and chips from the diner’s carry out bag. “That means you only have to smuggle in diner. You can make me breakfast in bed at the loft tomorrow.” Justin grinned sweetly at Brian as he handed him his sandwich.
“That’s what you think, Blondie.”
************************************************************************
Justin and Brian had finished their lunch and were watching TV, when the door opened and in walked Lindsay, Melanie and Gus.
“Jus Jus!” Yelled Gus as he ran to the bed.
“Hey Gus Gus” Justin said while pulling Gus up onto the bed with him. He kissed Gus’s cheek and pulled the child back against his chest.
Gus snuggled into Justin and turned his head to look up at him. “Mommy said you have bad tummy ache,” he said as he rubbed Justin’s stomach softly. “All better now?”
“Yep, all better now.”
“How you feeling, sweetie?” Lindsay asked while kissing Justin on the cheek.
“I’m good. I just want to go home.”
“Are they releasing you soon?”
“Yeah. All my tests came back normal, I can go home tomorrow.”
“Momma, me thirsty.” Gus interrupted, holding out his hand for a drink.
Melanie came over and sat on Justin’s bed, handing Gus a juice box. “Do they have any leads in the investigation?”
Brian scoffed. “Yeah, one of Pittsburgh’s finest was in here earlier.”
Melanie and Lindsay both looked at Justin questioningly. “There was a cop in here earlier, asking me questions about last night.” Justin explained.
“He wasn’t questioning you, he was accusing you of taking drugs.” Brian looked over at Melanie. “The next time he has to be questioned I want you here.”
“Brian, it wasn’t that big of a deal. He was just doing his job.”
Melanie squeezed Justin’s hand. “It’s not a problem, I don’t mind. It’s better to be safe than sorry.”
“Thanks, Mel.”
Lindsay smiled at Justin. “It’s nice having a lawyer in the family, isn’t it?”
Melanie looked down at Gus. “Don’t you have something for Justin?”
Gus’s eyes got big as he shouted, “Oh, yeah! Momma down!” He ran over to Lindsay’s purse and pulled out a red piece of construction paper. “I made you a card.” He said as he climbed back up the bed.
Justin took the card and opened it up. Inside was a picture of Justin and Gus sitting on a swing with Brian pushing them. “Gus, thank you! This is a really great picture.” Justin said as he hugged Gus.
“I know.” Gus replied as he kissed Justin on the cheek.
Justin just laughed as he helped Gus off the bed so he could show Brian what he’d made.
“Daddy up.” Gus demanded as he held up his arms.
“Hey, Sonny Boy. What do you got there?” Brian asked as he placed Gus on his lap.
“I made Jus Jus a card. That’s us, see?”
Before Brian could say anything, Emmett swung open the door. “Baby!”
Ted followed Emmett into the room. “See, I told you he’d be fine.”
“Yeah, get a hold of yourself, woman.” Brian snarked.
Justin rolled his eyes at Brian, as he accepted Emmett’s hug. “I’m fine, Em.”
“We were so worried. That guy was such an asshole.”
“Emmett!” Melanie and Lindsay both admonished, pointing to Gus.
Emmett looked over. “Oh! Sorry, baby.”
Brian chuckled, for once it wasn’t him getting into trouble for swearing.
“Are you comfortable, sweetie? Do you want another pillow?” Emmett said, fusing over Justin.
“Emmett sit down.” Ted huffed. “He doesn’t need you fawning all over him.”
“Well, excuse me for caring about our friend, Teddy.”
Justin squeezed Emmett’s hand. “I’m okay, but thanks.”
Once again the hospital door was flung open. “Sunshine!” Debbie shrieked.
“Christ, here we go.” Brian muttered as he bounced Gus on his lap.
Debbie made her way over to Justin, not sparing anyone else a glance.
“How you feeling, honey?” She asked while putting her hand across his forehead.
“He’s fine Deb.” Brian said, exasperated.
Debbie turned around and finally took note of all the people sitting around the room. “Damn, it’s like fucking zoo in here!”
“Deb!” Lindsay, Melanie, and Emmett exclaimed, pointing to Gus.
“Yeah, Deb. You should really watch your language around children.” Brian smirked.
Deb just gave him a dirty look, not having time to respond because at that moment, the nurse came in.
The nurse looked around the room in shock, surprised to see so many people. “Sorry guy’s, there can’t be this many people in the room. I‘ll have to ask some of you to leave.”
Melanie and Lindsay stood up. “We should go, we have to get Gus home.”
Brian brought Gus over to Justin to say his goodbye. “Love you, Jus Jus.”
“I love you too, Gus Gus.” Justin replied, kissing the toddler’s cheek.
Both girls bent down and kissed Justin as well. “We’ll give you a call tomorrow, after you’ve settled in back home.”
“Okay.”
Emmett and Ted got up. “We should go too, we just wanted to make sure you were okay.”
“Thanks for coming, guys.” Justin said watching Emmett, Ted, Melanie, Lindsay and Gus leave.
The nurse took Justin’s vitals and gave him his meds before leaving the room. Carl and Debbie sat down in the chairs, by the bed next to Brian.
Carl looked over at Brian. “I heard you chased a detective out of here today.”
“He was an asshole.”
“He was just trying get some information.” Responded Carl.
“No, he wasn’t. He was being a homophobe.”
“Have you found out anything?” Justin asked, trying to break the tension.
“No. There were a lot of men matching the guy’s description at the club last night.”
“So, what does that mean?” Debbie asked.
“Give us time. We’re still working on it. It’s only been a day.”
“Do you think you’re going to find him?” Justin asked.
“Honestly, it doesn’t look good. All we have is a description, not much else.”
Justin let out a breath, and looked over at Brian. Brian got up from his chair and sat down on the bed next to him, brushing his hand through Justin’s hair. Justin closed eyes and leaned into Brian’s touch.
Debbie and Carl looked at each other then stood up. “I brought you guys some dinner for later.”
“Thanks, Deb. That saves me from going on another food run for Justin.”
Justin smiled and smacked Brian’s stomach lightly.
“I’ll see you boys tomorrow.” Debbie said as she followed Carl out of the room.
Brian turned back to Justin, kissed his neck and whispered in his ear. “Alone at last.”
Justin smirked and tilted his head, giving Brian better access. Brian slowly licked his way down Justin’s neck, stopping when he reached Justin’s collarbone. He ran his tongue along the bone, lightly nipping with his teeth. Justin moaned softly, ran his finger’s through Brian’s hair and laid back on the bed, bringing Brian with him.
Brian stretched himself on top of Justin and started to kiss him. He ran his tongue across Justin’s lips, seeking entrance. Justin opened his lips and stroked his tongue along Brian’s, sucking it into his mouth. Brian groaned and deepened the kiss, plunging his tongue into Justin’s mouth. As the kiss continued, Justin trailed his hand’s down Brian’s back, cupping his ass. In reaction, Brian rubbed his erection against Justin, causing the younger man to arch up, and grind himself against his lover.
“God! Can’t you guys wait until you get home?” Michael’s shrill voice echoed through the room.
Brian broke the kiss and dropped his head onto Justin’s shoulder. “Fuck!”
