CHAPTER 15 – OFF TO THE ISLAND AND BACK IN PITTSBURGH

DAY 25 – EARLY AFTERNOON

JUSTIN’S SUITE

LOUNGE

JUSTIN

“You need to get up!” I call back at the still in bed form of Brian.

“How can I? I’m pinned helplessly under the weight of cat, with claws who is kneading. I like my chest unpunctured.”

“Up now or there will be no non-fraternization policy to renegotiate!”  I declare.

Silence.

I head back to the bedroom and find him lying pathetically underneath Custard.

“Custard off!” He orders, but all Custard does is move to his crotch. “See!  And there is no way in fuck I’m shoving him from there!”

Custard has the nerve to look smug as he settles in Brian’s lap. “Scruff!” I snap and Custard is up and out like a shot.

“Okay, so scruff is?”  Brian asks getting out of bed.

“Something he absolutely hates. The scruff is at the back of his neck and he really doesn’t like it being used to move him, so saying that tells him I mean business.”

“Oh I see.  Good to know.”  He heads to the bathroom then joins me in the lounge.

“So are they coming with us?”  He asks, indicating Rhubarb and Custard and I shake my head.  “No, they are going to stay with Tyler.”

“Oh.  Well okay. Look, I’ve got to go and pack for this island trip.  What time are we taking off and how many days?”

“Three and for four days.” I smirk at his quickly hidden look of disappointment.  “Now don’t pout. You’ll see them soon.”

“I don’t pout.”  He protest but then grins before kissing me swiftly and heading out.

I chuckle at his text ten minutes later…still not pouting!  Later B.

PITTSBURGH

MICHAEL’S APARTMENT

MICHAEL

I still can’t believe I’m back here now!  Gold managed to wangle his way into first class on the way home, while I was in a cramped seat in economy.  My back’s killing me and of course, I have no food as I was still supposed to be away!  I dump my case out and take the few things I need to head out.

Forty minutes later, I get to my destination and manage to grab the door before it shuts. I make my way up the stairs and sigh in relief at the familiar door. I pull out my keys to open the door but nothing happens. I look at the keys and they’re definitely the right ones so I try again but again nothing. I don’t understand.

I decide to go back to my apartment and as I go outside I realise that I should have used the lower key lock first.  As I turn back to go back inside, I miss the handle and the door shuts.  Taking out the keys, I try to open the door and again nothing. I ring the super’s bell.

After leaning on it for almost ten minutes, he finally comes to the door.  “Yes?”  He calls through the intercom.

“Can you let me in?  My keys don’t seem to be working.”

“Keys have been changed on the order of the building’s owner and unless you’re a resident, you don’t get a key.”

“But you know me.” He shakes his head. “Let me speak to the building owner then. You must have a number for them!”

“I do but I’m not allowed to give out that information.” He smirks. “Although I can take a message for you. Though I would’ve thought someone in such a venerable position would be aware of just who that is.”

“What are you talking about?!” I snap.

“Excuse me, I have other duties to attend to. One of which is finally being able to ignore you!”

As I turn to leave, another resident comes up and this time I make it back into the building and stalk to the super’s office.

SUPER’S OFFICE

I hammer on the door and after ten minutes, he seems hellbent on ignoring me. I sit outside the door to wait.  After 15 minutes, I pull out a comic and start to read.

“Excuse me sir, what are you doing?” A voice interrupts my reading and I find myself looking up at a cop.

“I am waiting for the super to come back so I can get into…”

“Mr Novotny does not live here…”

“But my best friend Brian Kinney does and I have…”

“Who’s Brian Kinney?  I mean, apart from his supposed best friend?”  The cop asks.

The super smiles for some reason. “The owner of the building and it was at his request that the locks to the street door be changed.”

Are you fucking kidding me with this Brian?!

SEABIRD ISLAND

RUPERT’S ESTATE GROUNDS

RUPERT

I didn’t think it was possible for a set of people to look so stunned and be so quiet.  The first to speak is Gus.

“Daddy, are we in another country?”

“I’m not sure.”  He murmurs and looks to me.

“No Gus, we’re not. We’re still connected to the mainland. In fact, you can walk to the mainland if the tide is low enough.”

“We can?” He holds up his hand.  “Where?  Can you show me? That would be okay right, daddy?”

“Uh huh.”  Brian is still stunned.

I take Gus’s hand and take him to the opposite side of where we landed and get down on my haunches. I’m unsurprised to find that everyone but Veri, Franc and Ray have joined us.  “So, can you look along my arm?”  He nods.  “Can you see that island way over there?”

“We can walk all the way over there?”  He gasps.  “How long would it take?”

“About an hour. Which I think it would take too long for your little legs. But your daddy and Mr Justin could cycle over there with you on the back. And that would take about half an hour or so.”

“Daddy, could we please? Could we?!”  He’s bouncing up and down like a firecracker.

“Maybe tomorrow Gus. We need to get settled in first, okay?” Brian tells him.

“Thank you daddy! Thank you!” He flings himself around Brian’s legs.

“Okay, guys let’s get you to your rooms!”  Franc calls out.

EMMY

As we head into the estate, the first thing that hits me is the coolness inside the building.

“Gus, come here sweetheart.”  Franc asks and he trots up to her.  “Hold your band up to this panel.” He does as he’s told and she turns to Brian and Mel. “This is registered with the police station on the mainland so if he gets lost while he’s on the island, they’ll find him.”

“Right, that’s the serious stuff done.”  Rupert beams at his daughter. “Who is where?”

As we walk upstairs, I take Ted and Franc to one side and after a quiet word, we grin at each other and head to the rooms.

LOUNGE – 2 HOURS LATER

TED

I try to keep the stupid smile off my face!  Ems and I are keeping our fingers crossed, but to us, it looks like Brian and Justin are slowly but surely falling in love with each other.  Gus is wedged between the two of them practising his words and reading. Rupert has told us that this is to be work free. Cynthia and Franc have gone to the mainland to let their hair down.

Ray has gone back to California suitably chastened by his dad. He’s been locked out of the Seabird system entirely. Franc doesn’t think he can be trusted to not give out his code again.

“Brandies everyone?”  Rupert asks and I do feel sorry for Mel because it is a good brandy but Leda has joined her in the booze free zone. I am so happy for Mel! When she first reconnected with Leda, she was worried because of what had happened with Lindsay.  Amazingly enough, she hadn’t realised that Leda is a lesbian until she kissed her…I mean seriously!

Gus is starting to nod off so it is with a tired, but futile, protest that he’s taken to bed.

We’re surprised when they come back downstairs but we end the evening with a rousing game of poker.

DAY 26 – MORNING

BRIAN AND JUSTIN’S ROOM

JUSTIN

We’ve had coffee and we're waiting for the tornado that is Gus to come in but by half past nine, it was clear he isn't coming.

“Wanna make out?” Brian pulls me onto his chest and I happily agree.  Five minutes later, we’ve not let up. But with the deep need for air, I let his bottom lip out of my mouth a bit before sucking it gently back in as his hand tightens in my hair. I really like kissing him!

“You really are gorgeous.” I whisper in his ear and he tries to squirm away giggling. I place soft kisses on his neck and then his collar bone. “Hands.” I murmur as they start to wander.

“But…”  He protests but I kiss him quiet. He puts his hands on either side of his head.

I kiss a trail down to his nipples and place sucking kisses on them as he grabs and twists the pillows, making happy noises. When I get to his belly button, he’s panting with his eyes closed. I crawl up his body.

“Will you turn over for me?”  He opens his eyes and I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a gorgeous green and he nods.  “Thank you.”  I kiss him gently and raise up enough to give him room.

I plant kisses on his back, like he told me not to. I mentally chuckle that the memory. When I get to his boxer clad peachy ass, I slowly pull them down. The pace of his breath quickens and his hips jerk as I nip his cheeks, before reaching between his legs and start to stroke his balls and cock.

“Oh God! Oh God!”  He groans, starting to get up on his knees. “So good! Yes! Please Justin, please.”

“Sssh. Sssh.” I croon, slowing my strokes until he starts to calm and lies back down.

I pull his cheeks apart and blow on his pucker; he lets out a small high-pitched cry.

“You’re squealing.” I tease him and he attempts to throw the pillow at me. “How is that nice?”  I giggle and whatever he was going to say gets lost in the groan as I start to work my tongue inside.

He opens his trembling legs wider and starts to grind against the bed. “Mmmm you taste good.” I tell him then slowly slide my finger in and wait for him to adjust before starting the twisting motion.

His head flies up and he looks at me in astonishment.  When I slide deeper inside, he buries his head in his hands and starts to bite his fist. Slowly, I twist back out and add another finger, repeating the corkscrew motion.

“Oh-oh-oh!” He cries out and I bite my lip as my cock starts to leak and harden further.

I withdraw my fingers and kiss my way up his back. “Brian, can I…”  The question is answered when he reaches for the lube and a condom. “Look at me.” I tell him and instead of turning just his head, he turns over.

“Ever done it this way?”  He asks between kisses and I shake my head. “Put my legs around your waist. Have to admit that I don’t do this very often and I’m a little sensitive…”

“Yeah I noticed.” I giggle but he pulls me back into another deep kiss.

“Want this to last. This way, you won’t go as deep.”  He grins as we rock against each other making each other harder. “Want me to put it on you?”

“Mmm.”  My eyes lock onto him opening the condom with his teeth and then I almost come when he slides the condom slowly down my shaft. “Brian!” I groan and take a couple of deep swallows, while resting my head against his shoulder.

“Okay?” He licks behind my left ear and I moan. “Y-yeah but n-not sure about the l-lasting part.”

“Now Justin, do it now or I will explode.”  He whimpers against my mouth.

He wraps his legs around my waist and I go to apply some lube but he shakes his head.  Aligning my cock against his entrance, I slide in and he arches his neck. I can’t resist the temptation to suck on his pulse point.

“Oh so good!” He whispers into my ear before I kiss him and start to move.

Four thrusts later, I tear my mouth from his. “Oh ho-ho-holy God!” I scream.

“Yes! Fuck yes!”  He shouts and empties between our bellies while I come hard.

Ten minutes later, we make our way to the shower on very wobbly legs.

“Hi five!” I smirk at Ben and he just laughs. “Seriously, only Brian could come together on his first time out with Justin!”
