AU/OOC fic. Brian is a secret bottom boy, although he’s always fought it because of his upbringing and the way his dad constantly denigrated ‘pussy boy’ fags. He’s been secretly getting himself fucked by folks he knows won’t tell on him for years, while all the time maintaining his Stud persona on Liberty Avenue. When he meets Justin, he’s taken in by the kid’s ‘twink’ act, but within only a couple weeks, Justin takes over as the dominant one in their relationship. And, since Justin lets Brian continue to play the Stud in public, it’s the perfect set up for Brian. But whenever he starts to rebel, Justin punishes him by taking away Brian’s tricks and fucking them in public in front of him - like the ‘loverboy’ trick in the King of Babylon ep. That’s also the real reason Justin leaves Brian for Ethan, because Brian tried to take back control. In the end though, Brian has to admit he’s just a big nelly bottom so he can get Justin back.
