A/N: This was originally written, and posted as a one shot, more than 6 months ago, when I got back to creative writing, and decided to spread TEH love and write post 513 B/J fiction. As I saw this week's prompt at qaf drabbles (Challenge #206:Plains, trains, buses, cars... ) I thought it would be nice to post it again, with Mander's help =)
This is triple drabble.

Michael was just leaving the comic book store after he had dropped by to check on Hunter to make sure he was dealing with the duties of being the new store manager. Michael and Ben were now living part-time in L.A. so Ben could have more time to work on his new book.

Michael walked to his car. A black shiny little BMW was parked right next to him. A guy rolled down the window and seconds later Michael recognized the very familiar smile: the smile that won his best friend's heart.

"Hey Justin, what are you doing here?" Michael asked, slowly approaching the car.

"I had some errands to run in town."

"I was just over at the store," Michael explained.

"Is everything ok? Brian told me you handed the store over to Hunter.” Justin sounded relaxed, as if he wasn’t in a hurry to beat the rush hour traffic.

"Yeah, everything is fine, and you?"

"Oh, things are going well," Justin smiled.

"What?" Michael detected a hint of question in Justin's smiling face. He’d got to know him rather well over the years.

"Remember how you took me to the diner that night, after I came here to see Brian? We were standing outside and you asked me if I needed a ride, or if I already owned a little Beemer."

"And you said you were still working on it," Michael sighed.

"So, here I am, and here is the Beemer, which is all mine now. Thanks for helping me keep my promise."

Michael moved the palm of his hand over the little details on the car's door. "You’re the one who kept the promise to yourself, Justin. I just helped you with ‘Brian Kinney 101’...you were smart enough to read between the lines of that old handbook."

Great little slice of life in the future for both B/J and Michael.

I was listening to this as I was doing my housework and had to stop to review. I had forgotten about that beemer comment. This was very clever.
