That's It!

Author's Note:This is Anti-Michael.

 

"So, Brian, you're coming to Babylon tonight, right?" asked Michael in what Justin considered a 'perpetual whine'.

The whole gang was at Debbie's for one of her weekly dinners, and Michael was starting to seriously get on Justin's nerves. He didn't know how much more he could take. He and Michael had never really gotten along. He knew that Michael was mad because it wasn't him with Brian. He really wished the man would grow up! He had a man that loved him; Michael should be happy.

Brian shook his head. "Can't tonight, Mikey."

Michael's bottom lip jutted out in a pout. "Why not?" he demanded.

Justin inwardly sighed. He knew why Brian had turned Michael down. He and Brian had a night in planned. Even though Brian would never call it a date, Justin knew that that's what it was. Brian didn't want anyone to know, afraid that his reputation would be shot. But Justin loved the fact that Brian would do anything for him. Well, just about anything. He never really stuck up for Justin against Michael. And that was one of the things that continued to bug Justin.

"Other plans," was Brian's reply.

Michael scowled as Lindsay tried to change the subject. "So, how are classes at PIFA going, Justin?"

Justin opened his mouth, getting ready to reply, when Michael interrupted. "It has to do with Boy Wonder, doesn't it?" Michael demanded.

"Drop it, Mikey," Brian commanded with a slight glare.

"No! I'm your best friend, I have the right to know. We hardly ever see you! You're always with... him!" Michael said while shooting a disgusted look at Justin.

"You just saw me last night at Babylon," Brian pointed out.

Michael looked at Justin. "Why don't you ever let Brian see us? See me? You afraid that he'll wise up and dump your ass?"

"Mikey--," started Emmett.

Michael cut him off. "No. I'm going to say what everyone knows. Justin is just the little twinkie trick that never left. And Brian feels guilty about the prom. If it wasn't for that, Brian would've kicked him to the curb a long time ago! Brian doesn't do boyfriends or relationships!"

Justin had had enough. He had finally reached his breaking point with Michael. Justin pushed his chair back from the table and jumped up, glaring at Michael. "Fuck you, Michael! I'm so tired of hearing all of the shit that you spew day in and day out!"

Debbie spoke up and said, "Wait a minute, Sunshine."

Justin shook his head. "No! This needs to be said." Looking back at Michael, he continued, "I do not keep Brian from you. From any of you. He's a big boy. Brian has nothing to feel guilty about. What happened with Hobbs isn't his fault. If he wants me gone, all he has to do is say the word.

"I'm tired of listening to all of your whining and insults about me. I haven't said anything until now because of eveyone else, not because I have any respect for you. I know that everyone at this table loves you, God only knows why. I know that you're mad at me because it's me with Brian and not you. Well, you know what Michael? Grow the fuck up and be a man. Quit waiting on a handjob that's never going to be finished. Talk about pathetic!" With that, Justin grabbed his coat and stormed out of Debbie's house.

For a minute, nobody at the table moved. Then, chaos erupted. "Can you believe that the little twerp said those things about me?!" Michael screeched.

Brian spoke up. "It's the truth." Brian grabbed his own coat and left, hoping that Justin hadn't gotten far. When he got outside, he saw Justin walking down the sidewalk. "Sunshine! Wait up!" he called.

Jusin stopped walking, waiting for Brian to catch up to him. When Brian reached him, Justin said, "I'm not going to apologize."

"Don't expect you to. Everything you said in there was the truth."

Justin looked a little surprised. "Well, I couldn't take it anymore." He paused for a second. "What happened after I left?"

"You left everyone in shock, Sunshine." Brian gave a small chuckle. "Remind me never to piss you off like that. Your tongue can be as brutal as mine. And not in the positive, life-affirming way."

Justin laughed. "Ready to head to the loft?" Brian asked with a leer.

Looking at the bulge in Brian's pants, Justin cupped it and asked, "This all for me?"

Brian huffed out a breath. "Oh yeah. You're damn sexy when you're pissed!"

Justin laughed, "Let's get goin', then, stud!" As they got into the jeep and sped toward the loft, Justin couldn't keep the smile off his face. He had finally told Michael off and he knew that he was in for a wild and rough ride once they got home. He couldn't wait!
