Great opportunies here. I really like the idea that it was a daydream. I like to believe that Michael was using that as a reason to keep Brian close to him now that Justin is gone. Michael's illusions, I'm sure, is that he doesn't believe Brian and Justin would  continue a long distance relationship. Maybe not rebuild... Brian is above that scene now. (I guess I don't see him doing a 180, and going back to that scene anymore.) And I like the angle of Justin living at Britin, building his portfolio, where the inspiration is overwhelming and he is producing work out of this world. And of course, Brian has given him a credit card to help him survive in New York. How long before Brian finds out? How does Brian find out, and what is his reaction?  Writer's you have full reign. (I'd like to think he's pleased) after some persuading from a certain blond, and after Brian sees the work he's produced. Could be a good Anti-Michael and Anti-Lindsay fic.  Geez, I wish I was a writer.
