"Can you really think of a reason that Peter would suddenly turn on how he feels about you?" Justin asked, trying to begin the conversation pragmatically. "He knows how your sister is, and she knows, at least to some extent, that the two of you are acquainted now. Don'tyou think she'd have tried every weapon she had if she was running a smear campaign against you?"
"I don't know," Brian said tiredly, rubbing his eyes. "I wouldn't put anything past her."

“Or,†Justin said, a small smile playing on his lips, “you could say, ‘Hey Justin, I’ve got something on my mind that I’m not ready to talk about, and I need a little space.’†He gave his husband a meaningful look before continuing. “Brian, I know what you’re doing when you do it now… But what I don’t understand is why, almost two decades into our relationship, you still think the solution to anything is to push me away -- if for no reason other than it won’t fucking work.â€

“--not in a positive, life-affirming way,†Brian finished in a deadpan, then sighed and brought the bags to the counter. “Fine. What do I do?â€

No one had been more shocked than Brian when Melanie, of all people, had suggested that, since she didn't really celebrate Christmas, but J.R. was heading to Pittsburgh to be with her dads, perhaps Brian and Justin would rather come to Toronto to have a more subdued celebration with Lindsay and Gus.
"Lindsay never really gets to enjoy the decorations she puts up, since we're rushing around and then traveling during this time," Mel had explained. "I just thought it would be nice if you and Justin wanted to come to our place instead… You know, let Linds and Gus go all out, and then have a nice quiet holiday at home."
"Quiet" was all Brian needed to hear before he agreed.

“And? The verdict?†Justin prompted, his tone teasing.
“I didn’t get far,†Brian muttered. “I’m sure it’s a bunch of bullshit.â€
Justin’s smile grew wider. “Well, why don’t we find out?â€

Gus’ lips rolled inward, a carbon copy of Brian’s signature contemplative look. “I just like…” he sighed again, more heavily this time. “I just wish I could forget about this for, like, an hour or something.”
Brian made a small noise of realization that made Justin look toward him, and as soon as he registered the intention on his husband’s face, he moved closer to Brian and hissed, “No. Brian, you can’t.”
Brian gave Justin his most charming smile and said, “Oh, but I can!”

“It’s okay,†Justin said, rinsing a plate. “We can get it done faster, and then you can join me in the shower.â€
Brian smirked, clearly interested in that idea. “Thought you might be too tired,†he admitted, starting to dry what Justin had already washed.
“An hour ago, I probably was… But seems the sight of you in the kitchen has restored my motivation.â€

Leaning back against the leather headrest, Brian let out a shaky breath, already feeling sweaty and a little disoriented. He realized he had two choices here, both potentially impacting his dignity in a major way. As much as he wanted to try to tough it out the additional half hour, to endure whatever happened next in the comfort of a Four Seasons Hotel suite, the reality of the situation was that Lindsay and Melanie’s neighborhood was much closer. And it was absolutely inevitable that Brian's body was going to revolt sooner than later.
Well, fuck.

“Sonny Boy--” Brian began, intentionally ignoring Justin’s question.
“--You had no idea why she sent me down,” Gus interrupted, his words more of a statement.
Brian shook his head. “Your mother neglected to inform me of her intentions.”

When Justin came home from his studio and found Brian in the kitchen making dinner, he knew something was wrong.
Brian didn’t cook. Even after 15 years of knowing the man and spending most of them in a relationship with him, Justin could count the times Brian had made them dinner on one hand. Apparently, tonight he was adding one more to the tally.
