While reading this shower scene, my heart was breaking for Brian. It‘s so obvious how crazy he‘s about Justin, he loves him so deeply... And I‘ve to admit, I couldn‘t stop reading and I‘ve the advantage, that your story‘s already finished, so I already know what‘ll happen, but you also gave us some hints here. And it‘s so typical Brian... „Justin is not violent", and therefore, if Justin‘s having such thoughts, Brian is to blame („Being with me cannot be what is best for a goddamn miracle like Justin.")... It's just a pity that he doesn‘t think about how his departure has to affect Justin at that moment. It‘s such a painful moment for both of them and again, my heart broke for them... Fantastic writing-style!

Thank you again! I hope I'm not repetitive but your comments are so thoughtful and appreciated.
My heart broke writing that but sometimes pain is necessary for growth. And without pain, how can we truly appreciate happiness and joy?
Brian, in my headcanon, never believed he was good enough for Justin so that will come through in my story, but he will also work through that to a large extent.

Yeah, cliffhanger is correct, but we will wait for the next chapter when it is ready. Hope you are going somewhere great and have a wonderful vacation.

Thank you! Vacation is a blast so far! I have limited internet but I'm going to try to post the next part soon - it's all beta'd and ready to go thanks to my incredible beta TrueIllusion.
The cliffhanger was hard for me to write - and I know what happens!!

I really can’t imagine Justin being danger for Brian or Gus. And from the previous chapters it was more that he was afraid of smth happening with them, not doing it. Really hope that in this moment the doctors are wrong. And Brian... he is just destroied Jus((

It's definitely a complex situation and it will take a while for everything to unfold. I love long fics and I hope for this to be a long story!

That was predictable, yet, reading it makes it worse. I hope Brian will come back after venting out.
Author's Response:
Ultimately we want Brian and Justin together.. it just might be an angst filled road to get there.

Now, not only does he have to deal with Justin being treated in the hospital for his depression and PTSD he has to keep the family in the dark and at bay.
He walked out? When the doctor suggested talking to Brian would be helpful he fucking walked out on him! Yeah he earned his asshole nickname right then and there. He damn we'll better go find himself someone for him to talk to if that's his reaction to Justin's honesty.
Enjoy your vacation.
Author's Response:
Brian's actions are definitely hurting Justin right now. It was a painful note to leave it on, even as the author!
Thank you! I'm hoping to post while on vacation, I just don't know what the internet situation will be.

Okay, it seems like Brian needs to be there too. If they both start therapy things could get better for both of them.
Author's Response:
They are definitely both suffering right now.
