An absolutely perfect way to end this with a repurposed classic from the Temptations!! Although there have been many spinoff groups, none possessed the magic of the original five of David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, Melvin Frankin, Otis Williams and Paul Williams. Al Bryant was a part of them, too, but left before they hit the big time with Motown. Their legacy was born of the stuff where dreams of becoming legends are made- much like Brian and Justin. My heart is so full with gratitude and hope. Thank you so much for writing and posting this on KD. It will be a favorite of mine for many years to come!
HUGS and Warmest Regards,

You tell'em, Justin! I loved the way he dispelled the myth that Brian's selfish with just a few well-placed words and facts. And also showed that he was Brian's match in every way that mattered when it came down to saving the community from Stockwell. For some reason, it always irked me that while Brian got much of the credit- and rightfully so- they seemed to discount Justin's part in the whole taking down of Stockwell. Had Justin not started the ball rolling with those provocative posters, Brian might not have been so inclined to look deeper into the matter. Just saying...

Loved how they talked to each other in their comic counterparts, and yet it was all them. Wouldn't people be surprised to really know just how rock solid they are... I really wish it had happened this way in the series instead of the constant push and pull of insecurities.

And case in point about part of the reason I just really can't stand Michael... SMH Not only is he inconsiderate, but he's a sanctimonious little troll. Just who in all of creation asked for his narrow-minded opinion on how committed Brian and Justin are to each other in comparison to him and Ben? I swear the personification of a modern day Doubting Thomas is called Michael Charles Novotny-Bruckner.
I'm glad that Brian was able to put Justin's Michael-induced fears to rest. If ever there was a use for Justin's smelly socks, I think it's to be stuffed inside of Michael's mouth and held in place by duct tape. In any event, I think what Brian said went a long way to boosting Justin's confidence in them as a couple.

I wonder if Mr. Yates knows that the reason Vangard is floundering is because their best chance to sustain their existing accounts was pushed out the door by Gardner Vance, himself? It would serve him right to become the has-been he tried to make Brian into!
As for the two talking in the beginning... I wonder who they are, and what is their interests in Brian's happenings and whereabouts. While one seemed condemning in a sense, the other allowed for Brian to be human which is more than I can say for Michael in every sense of the word. But that's just my take on him since I'm not, nor have I ever been, a fan of Mr. Best Friend. SMH.

Justin is such an imp LOL! Brian may gripe, but I think if Justin were to miss one of those 'late night' phone calls, he would wonder what the hell was going on.

LOL! This was so Brian! It's funny that even within a story, his POV comes across as I would imagine all of ours would when it comes to time differences and dirty laundry...LOL So delightful and so sad at the same time, but I have hope that they will certainly make this separation work.

This was so reminiscent of the scene of Justin leaving for New York in the series. I could feel every single emotion. Great job making my heart sink in the first minute of reading this.
