Part 10

"Fuck, the place looks like a graveyard," Brian snorts as he and Michael enter Woody's on Friday night.

"What's eating you?" Michael inquires while they approach the bar.

"Nothing," Brian growls. "I have no job, I'm broke, and I have no fucking idea how to pay child support. It's all fabulous, don't you think?" he points out, sticking his tongue into his cheek.

"Are you sure that's the only thing that's bugging you?" Michael asks as their drinks arrive.

"My life sucks, okay?" Brian snaps, taking a huge gulp of beer from his bottle.

"Oh my god, I never thought I'd see the day! How the mighty have fallen!" A tall, slender guy dressed in a tight black t-shirt and faux, black leather pants waves his hands in excitement and takes a seat at their table.

"Shut the fuck up, Honeycutt!" Brian raises his voice.

"No, wait, you actually have a point there, Emmett," Michael intervenes and turns to his friend who's sipping a Cosmo with a straw. "I can see it clearly now. Brian Kinney… You've been played, my friend, you've reached the point of no return. You're fucking… Oh, my God, I can't even… you're head over heels..." He stops in mid-sentence, caught by Brian's death glare.

"Come on, Brian, who is he? Do we know him? And more importantly, have we done him?" Emmett keeps giggling.

"It's not your fucking business," Brian snarls, well into his second beer bottle.

"Did you hear that, Watson? Kinney won't confirm nor deny the alleged budding romance." Emmett cheers and turns to Michael.

"I heard it loud and clear, Sherlock," Micheal grins back at Emmett. "I say, we must get to the bottom of it!" he adds as both men laugh.

" Fuck! I can't take it any longer," Brian huffs in anger. If his middle finger wasn't so heavily bandaged he would have gladly flipped it in front of his grinning friends.

LOL Poor Brian has it bad - and his friends' teasing isn't making it any easier. Great chapter. ♥

Yup, the 'gang' sure know how to tease ;) But Brian didn't bother to deny it :D

Yup, BK is in it too deep, no matter how he tried to hide it. I think every QaF fan has a soft spot for Em ;) And... who better than Emmett to call BK up on his bs? ;)

Exactly ;)
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback :) I'm so glad you liked it.

Nice to see Emmett. But I'm wondering how they came to their conclusion's concerning Brian?

[guavejuice.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's because they know Brian well enough to figure out that with Brian it's often what he doesn't say that gives away so much about him, no matter how much he would try to hide it ;)
