Part 14





"A comic book brand?" Jennifer sounds a bit skeptical as Justin brings her news of his new career choice.

"Yes, mother." Justin sounds calm. "Remember how I used to collect those comic books when I was younger? It always inspired me. I have managed to save a bit of money from my temp jobs and, no, I don't want you to help me. I'll be launching an online site next week. I'm naming it JTcomic.com."

"We're proud of you, Justin." Craig smiles and reaches out to shake his son's hand.

"That's all I needed to hear." Justin smiles back.

________________________________________

"That's it! The fucking bandage is off!! I'm free!" Brian cheers and waves his middle finger at Justin as he leans against the headboard in Justin's huge bed.

"You freak." Justin giggles, planting a sloppy kiss on Brian's lips. Brian hangs in there a while longer, refusing to let go.

"We should be thankful for this bandage, actually," Justin says as they break the kiss. "If it wasn't for your broken finger, we never would have met." He leans over the long, beautiful finger, slowly inserting it between his lips, almost mouth fucking himself on it. Breathing heavily, he pulls Brian's nicely healed finger out, caressing it between his own fingers.

"What's that?" he suddenly asks, as he notices a tattoo on the inside of the finger. "Why does it say resist?" he asks quietly.

"Do you really need to ask?" Brian answers softly. "I had it done a long time ago. I guess I constantly need to remind myself how much life can be an ongoing battle, but I can't afford to back down. I always have to resist," he continues, playing with a strand of blond hair. "Which is why I decided not to let my fears take control. I'm going to take the money I saved while working with Horvath and Sons for 15 years and open up my own place. It's not going to be easy, but it's what I love to do - repairing motorcycles, reconstructing vintage models, and sharing my passion with others." Brian bends his head to look at Justin.

"I owe it all to you," Brian remarks softly after a long pause. "For some reason you put up with me and believe in me so I… fuck! Damn allergies." He smiles sheepishly as he sniffles. "Well, you know what I mean."

"You don't owe me anything, Brian. You owe it to yourself. You deserve it. You can be proud of yourself." Justin smiles and slides his fingers across the fine stubble on Brian's cheeks. "All I'm asking is for you to reconsider my offer to move in together. I already told you I wouldn't mind selling this loft or putting it back on the market like my dad mentioned. Once we settle into our new careers and save enough, we can definitely buy a nice house for both of us. And for Gus, too, in case he comes to visit during weekends and holidays. We don't have to decide now, but it would be nice to think about it." Justin says.

"You crazy twat, we've only known each other, what… six months? How can you be so sure?" Brian asks.

"I'm not sure, and I don't think I'll ever be, but I'm willing to take the risk. That's what makes life worth living, isn't it?" Justin replies with a smile.

"How did you get to be so smart?" Brian huffs with a smirk.

"It's one of my many special skills." Justin beams triumphantly.

Nice ending, V! I love how you kept it so close to Gale's RL while still giving him Brian-like qualities. And strong Justin is a favorite of mine in fan fic.

Well done. ♥

Hugs,
linda

There were some aspects of GH RL that I just had to use in this story. And yes, I love me some Strong!Justin but one that doesn't have it easy, you know.

This was definitely different. I liked how Justin was the strong one in this relationship. Loved the reference of 'resist' tattoo. Great fic.

Ohoo, I like this story and that Justin's the Loft-owner and "Armani guy".
It's fun to read (to short ;), was over too fast)

Love the ending. It's a nice change to see that Justin's parents really support him. The comic book idea is a good one. Six months and they're still seeing one another. If you ever decide to continue with this one let me know.
