A short drabble of a potential future. **Happy endings not guaranteed**

Sequel to No More Mio Amore - about two years post NMMA.

Brian always goes out of town, uses his middle name and pays in cash when he feels the need to bottom. This time is no different except that JT, the young man who helps relieve his itch is everything he wants in a lover. Away from Pittsburgh and his reputation, Brian feels free to be a different man, but his worlds soon collide with JT's dark past adding difficulties to an already uneasy situation.

Brian is in the third grade when he's paired up to be Justin's buddy on the first day of school, Justin only a kindergartner but they immediately connect. This is not the average, boy meets boy, best friends turn into lovers story. Brian is terrified that he has found love in Justin, and Justin represses his love for him. They both find love with another man, the same man, but will end up together. Love, hate, death, forgiveness, pain, suffering and joy has been thrown into a cauldron and has boiled over into this piece of fiction so take a deep breath, grab the tissues and enjoy.

Justin doesn't survive the bombing. Dark and not an ounce of fluff. MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH.

Brian pines for Justin…

Brian's thoughts at the end of 510. (Babylon bombing)

I don't usually write anything from a “What If” perspective. I tend to leave canon be and work with what we were given…no matter how much it hurt. But, I was listening to the song “And So It Goes” by Billy Joel, and I realized it sounded a lot like what I think might have been going through Brian’s mind during this time frame. It also reminded me of a drabble I wrote a while ago titled, "The Perfect Silence" which ends up being included in this piece as well. Sometimes something small can change everything…sometimes not. I still don’t know if this would have altered Justin’s decision…it may have just been too late by then anyway. You decide.

What happens when the life you know is all a lie?

OK, This is a Glee/Queer as Folk crossover Song Fic! More strangeness from my warped brain! Unless you have been living in a cave, or are a rabid Glee hater (umm, what’s wrong with you?) You probably heard the following song sung by Rachel on her Prom night (second season). But what if…?

My name is Brian Kinney. I am 6 years old and in the 1st grade.

Some loves are meant to always find each other, even if it’s only in the dark…
