Notes
     Hello! This is the very first fic I ever write, so please don't be
     too harsh on it. I am enjoying writing it very much and I think
     that's a good sign. Some of the main characters are original
     characters, so if that's not your thing, I'm sorry. I hope you guys
     like it. Leave comments/suggestions. Any constructive criticism is
     welcome.
     ** side note: eventually, this story will include somewhat heavier
     bdsm and underage sex, so if you don't like any of those two things,
     keep that in mind while delving into this story :) I only do light
     research so if some stuff are inaccurate, my mistake.
     ** I am picturing Brian like in the debut album era. Same with
     Stefan. (And YES. The main pairing is Brian/Stef)
***** A Careless Mistake *****
It was late at night and Brian was late again. He knew it would be fine. His
boss didn't really care if he arrived a few minutes late and had never given
him any trouble about it. Still it made him feel guilty to always be the reason
everyone had to be rushing. Quickly he took one last short glance in the mirror
and fixed a strand of hair that fell back on his face just as soon as he had
pulled it back. Placing a few extra items on his bag that he'd forgotten to
pack in the morning, he rushed out of the room not taking the time to check if
he'd really locked the door as he turned the key. He hurried down the old
wooden stairs outside his apartment which creaked with every step and took a
quick run down the road. The pub was just a few streets down, so he opted for
walking instead of the bus which would be completely pointless.
Once there he hurried inside through the side door of the building instantly
making an uncomfortable face upon seeing Henry.
"I'm sorry Hens" he said. "Look, if you want I'll wipe the tables this time,
yeah? All of them" he continued, hanging his black coat on a hook by the
entrance.
"Nah. 's alright. You know it's fine. I've told you so many times before. Your
job isn't really that important anyways, Brian" He replied with a weird
emphasis on the i of his name."Besides, Christopher isn't even here yet. I
don't think he'll be happy if you pretty-up all the other boys before he even
gets here"
"I'm here!" came a breathy voice from behind Brian. It was Christopher. "You
haven't started without me, have you darling?" he looked directly at Brian as
he curled up his lips forming a smile across his face.
"No, no. Of course not. I wouldn't do that. Ever!" he mocked back. "Well, sit
down now. Make yourself comfortable while I get all my wands out." He dug into
his bag and pulled out a couple of make up brushes of various sizes. "Okay" he
began, clearing his throat before continuing. "What will it be today? Matte or
glitter?" He paused for a second.
"Matte" the blond replied from his chair.
"No! We did that last time. See, this is why you need me babe. You'd be
completely lost without me." he replied with an exaggerated shocked tone in his
voice.
"What...? But you're wearing Matte yourself!" Christopher replied a little too
serious for the topic at hand.
"Actually this is satin" Brian replied matter-of-factly. "Besides, It doesn't
matter what I'm wearing because I work here only for backstage purposes." He
replied proudly. Why did that even make him feel a hint of pride?
"Okay, whatever" the blond shot back with a stiff giggle. "Just make sure I
look better than all those blokes, okay?"
"sure thing".
~
It had taken Stefan three hours to find the place. THREE HOURS. It made his
head hurt just thinking about all the time he'd wasted walking around in
circles. He breathed out impatiently as he approached the hideous apartment
complex his friend had helped him find. It's cheap and decent. I lived there
for eight months when I was living in London with my band. He recalled his
friend telling him. Decent? Ha! How was this piece of trash decent in any way?
It looked like it would fall apart if a drizzle were to shower over the city.
He looked around before making his way inside the building. It looked more like
a strange old haunted house than anything else. The hall smelled of rotten wood
and it made his eyes water a little. Or...?
Actually it didn't smell like rotten wood at all. It smelled more like
something was burning. Like...hair? He followed the scent until he reached a
tattered red door which seemed to be the portal to wherever it was the smell of
burnt hair was coming from. He tried the knob and to his surprise it wasn't
locked.
"Hello? Is there someone in there?" he called from outside the room. "It smells
like something is burning in there! You can smell it all the way outside, you
know." He tried. No response. "Look, if this building burns down it will be
your fault for not responding to me and for letting whatever it is that's
burning in there burn." He insisted. No luck. He slowly opened the door further
and further until he had enough room to completely step inside. The place was a
total mess. lipstick marks of every color under the rainbow tattooed all over
the large mirror leaning against a wall. It reaked of alcohol and cigarettes
and...weed? There were shoes thrown in all directions of the room, wigs of at
least four different colors, an ashtray was laying carelessly on the floor next
to a hair iron which was turned on and placed on top of a purple long-haired
wig. THAT WAS IT! Stefan rushed towards it pulling the cord from the wall.
~
"There! They're all ready Hens". Brian shouted from the small room which was
packed with half naked men. "Don't they all look so...lovely?" Brian continued
attempting to hide a smile.
"Ha ha ha" was the only thing that came out of Henry's mouth as a response.
"Why do you even work here if you're not gay?" joked Brian, his eyes fixed on
his own reflection in the mirror as he fixed his black bob.
"Because actually, I secretly really want to get into bed with you" his boss
replied humorously.
"Haha, now it's my turn to laugh"
"Well you really don't need Henry to go gay for you, do you Brian?" Christopher
joined in, sounding slightly tense. "And you certainly don't need him in your
bed" he finished bitterly, spinning around in his chair.
"Oh shut it babe. You know I don't want anyone in my bed beside you." replied
Brian with a small smile. "Plus Henry wouldn't be interested even if I did want
to get in his pants."
"But you don't" challenged Chris.
"No. I don't" responded the short black-haired. Chris smiled triumphantly.
"Enough of that. I don't want to hear another word about any of...that" Henry
interrupted, relieved that neither Brian nor Chris seemed interested in
continuing their chat. "Okay butterflies. Get out there and go get some men
drunk." he trailed off exiting the office with a pen and a notepad on his hand.
Two men caked with makeup chatted and smiled as they walked out the room,
followed by six other, half of which seemed to be laughing about something. The
last one closed the door and the sound it made as it shut rang awkward in
Brian's ears. He stood there feeling strange, looking at the door without
saying a word. He hesitated for a few seconds before walking towards the exit,
but he could barely make half a step before he was swiftly pushed against the
wall by Chris who had stayed behind.
"You fucking slut" he hissed directly at the short man's face, laughing as he
licked a trail on one of Brian's cheeks. "You want him." he continued.
"No! What the fuck are you talking about?" the small man shot back.
"You want to fuck him." he whispered against Brian's ear. "Or...knowing you,
you want him to...fuck you" he hissed. "Don't you?...whore." Keeping Brian
pinned to the wall by the shoulders, be licked the small man's lips biting them
gently.
Brian's breath quickened as he took in the scent of the tall blond in front of
him. "You smell good babe" he remarked a little shaky. "But, you have to...get
out there, y'know?" he continued. His voice so small.
"What if I bend you over the table and fuck you here, in his office. You'd like
that wouldn't you, slut? You whore. I bet you'd cum just knowing you're being
fucked over that old man's desk." he spat out bitterly.
Brian's chest began rising and falling more quickly and his breaths deepened.
"Fuck" was the only thing he could say.
"You're so fucking hard you whore" the blond man muttered as he cupped Brian's
cock through his black dress. "Did that old man get you this fucking hot?" he
spat biting the small man's bottom lip, this time making it bleed a little.
"You look so fucking hot with a dress".
"Don't insist on that. Henry is like...fifteen years older than me." Brian
mumbled.
"Eighteen" Chris purred. His Breaths feeling warm against Brian's face.
"Yeah. And...you...are" Brian replied with shaky breaths, "You are...only...8
years older than me. See...see the difference?" he was barely able to finish
the sentence. He pulled his dress up to his belly button holding it in place
with his free hand. "Fuck".
"Who are you like this for?" the blond inquired irritated. "are you like this
for me or for him?" he shot. He cupped the small man's cock again. This time
through his tights, making the black-haired shiver. In a swift move, he turned
him around pushing him against the wall. His face taking a blow.
"No no...baby what are you doing?" Brian questioned, panic in his tone. "Not
here, yeah? Henry is waiting for you. Did you even lock the door?" He tried
spinning around to face Christopher again, but the blond's grip on his wrists
was too strong.
"Why the fuck do you care about him, darling? the blond spat, squeezing his
wrists harder. "Yeah, I locked the door you bitch." He lifted his dress all the
way to his back, holding it with one hand. Using his other hand he began
pulling his tights down. His hands were shaking. Out of lust but also out of
rage.
"I asked what the fuck you're doing." Brian spat exasperated, worry in his
eyes. "Babe please. We'll go home after your shift and..." He attempted
pleadingly. "Just..." He finally managed to free himself from Chris' harsh grip
which had left thick red marks on his wrists. He pushed the taller man away
from him. "Dammit. What the hell is your fucking problem? You work here,
y'know. You're supposed to be out there, earning money which we very much need,
for your information." he shot. "How old are you? You're not 15, you're not 18.
Act your fucking age!" he spat attempting an angry tone. "Jesus."
"Haha. Well, you are." the taller man replied. "My baby Brian."
"I'm not 15, I'm 19. And call me whatever you want, but at least I know how to
behave myself."
"Do you really? I would've sworn you were rock hard just a second ago. And you
probably still are." he insisted. "What? You're acting all innocent now? You're
the one who screams like a whore every time you're being fucked. You're the one
who pleads for me to..."
"Shut up!" Brian exclaimed. More embarrassed than angry. He covered Chris'
mouth with one of his hands and pushed him against the wall with his free one.
"Please just shut up. Please." he pleaded. "I'm hard for you, not for him. You
know that! Why do you have to act like this all the time?" He released Chris'
mouth, backing off away from the taller man.
Christopher paused for a few moments. The silence ringing too loudly in their
ears. "I'm sorry gorgeous." Chris finally broke the silence. "It's just...tell
me you notice how everyone looks at you. You're so hot, I get jealous." No
response. "You want this. You like it just like this and don't say you don't.
You like the red marks and you like the thrill." He finished.
Brian took a deep breath before he turned around to face him. "Let's just
forget about this. I...I just don't understand what this was all about anyways,
but I don't want to understand. And yes, I like it just like this. I like you
just like this too." He knew that didn't really make any sense. He knew he was
contradicting himself, but he also knew both things were true. He never knew
what the hell went through his boyfriend's/lover's/on-and-off's head. It
irritated him but he did like it. He placed a soft kiss to the tall man's lips
~
"Fucking hell. What type of girl lives here?" Stefan moved boxed full of papers
from one spot of the floor to another. "Probably...a prostitute? Maybe." He
continued looking through things. It seemed so strange to him, like a room from
a movie scene. A teenager's room. A teenager who used marijuana and left
condoms lying around on the floor. There were stacks of films and vinyl
reccords on the bed. A thorn blanket hung from the window as some form of
curtain. "What the hell." He sat down on the edge of the bed looking through
some of the records. "Evol by Sonic Youth, Marquee Moon by Television..." he
read aloud. The walls were a white tone of white and were covered with little
streaks of light purple paint. He spotted a little note on top of a small table
by the bed. The table wobbled as he picked up the neon green paper. It had
something scribbled on it with red marker. "Buy new mascara tube, buy more
matte shadows...and glitter too, buy some soup cups, get new lingerie." The
swede chuckled lowly. "Yeah, definitely a prostitute."
~
The shift was over. It was around 2 in the morning and Brian could barely keep
his eyes open. He spun around in the chair trying to keep himself awake while
he waited for Chris. Half naked men began pouring into the room making Brian
feel slightly uncomfortable in his sleepy state. He stood up from the chair
putting on his coat and picking up his bag from the counter. "You ready?" he
asked once he saw the blond approaching him. "Aren't you cold?" he chatted
amused. "It's pretty chilly out, you're gonna get sick if you go out like
that."
"I'm fine gorgeous, don't worry about it." said the blond. He wore an easy
smile on his lips and seemed a lot more relaxed than before his shift.
"Okay." Brian chuckled. "But if you get sick, don't come looking for me." he
joked. "How was it tonight?" he asked once they were outside. He rubbed his
hands together bringing them up to his face to warm them with his breath.
"It was alright."
"Good."
"You know, Henry hinted that he's interested in you. Well, he said he'd be up
for a threesome if we wanted. You me and him." Chris broke the silence.
"Well tell him I'm not interested in a threesome with him...or with anyone
else." Brian smiled knowingly.
"Just testing you."
"I Know. Don't." the short man replied. "You're gonna get very sick if you keep
up these habits, y'know." He changed the topic fearing another confrontation.
He bent down to pick a few little pebbles from the ground, moving them around
in one hand as he continued walking. "I'm so sick of this, y'know. Sick of
coming home so late. I'm always so sleepy. I'm tired of working at that place!"
He sounded like a whinny boy. And well, that's sort of what he was. A boy, and
he did whine a lot.
"Doll, you don't know how to do anything else. You're only good at this. Make
up, or whatever." Chris hissed.
"It's art, babe." he dropped the pebbles one by one, pulling out a cigarette
once his hand was free. Then a lighter, then the orange flame. Smoke.
"Yeah. You're good at it, and you like it." the tall man was holding Brian's
bag in one hand and an apple in the other. He bit down. "Why are you suddenly
so upset about your job?"
"I don't know. I'm just bored of it I guess." the short man said almost in a
whisper.
"Are you going to keep your promise?" Chris suddenly spat, interrupting Brian's
train of thought.
"What?"
"You said..." be began, throwing the middle bit of his apple on the floor.
"That we'd fuck once we got home...once my shift ended."
"Pffft. I didn't promise. Plus, I'm tired. Sleepy." Brian squeaked, blowing
smoke through his mouth. "You're probably tired too." He looked up at the night
sky feeling melancholic.
"Not that much. Not for you." the blond replied.
They got there in what seemed too short of a time for Brian and too long a wait
for Christopher. The taller man pushed Brian against the red door making the
small man hiss in pain. He began sucking at his neck lightly.
"Oh god, I want to fuck you so hard...you're so hot, y'know that? You're
driving me crazy." He backed off a little, just to see the look in Brian's
face. The small man could say he was tired all he wanted, but he could see the
need in his eyes. It turned him on so much. Those beautiful pleading eyes. He
turned the knob, pushing Brian in, making him stumble on some boxes on the
floor.
"Bed bed bed..." pleaded Brian, surprising even himself.
"Wha...? Who the fuck is this piece of shit?" exclaimed Christopher, pushing
Brian away from him to take a better look at the lanky kid laying in bed fully
asleep.
"I don't know! It's your place too, asshole." uttered the black-haired as he
rubbed the spot on his shoulder where Chris had pushed him.
"Wake up you fuck." He spat, kicking the young boy on one leg. Brian rolled his
eyes as he walked towards the sleeping stranger.
"Hun, wake up. This is not your bed sweetie" the small man tried. The swede
opened his eyes slowly. "Hello sleepy head" Brian chirped.

"Fucking hell" were the first words that came out of the younger boy. "Where
the fuck am I?"
"Nowhere you should be" blurted Chris. "Who the fuck are you?"
"You must be the prostitute" Stefan chuckled pointing at Brian. You're a girl
or...?"
"Never seen a guy with a dress?" Brian replied a little offended. "And say that
again...about the prostitute, you little prick."
"Sorry, It's just...I though. Okay, nevermind. It's just, I just moved in..."
he pointed at his bags in the floor. "Not to this room, this one's yours. I
moved in next door and your fucking purple wig...it was burning I could smell
it from outside!" He pointed at the flattening Iron. "I saved your place...and
your Sonic Youth record." He smiled.
"How'd you know it's mine?" Brian asked interested.
"You look the part." the swede offered back, still smiling. "Cool record
collection." He looked Brian up and down furrowing his brow. "Are you really a
bloke though?" He asked unsure of wether to laugh or not.
"Yes. I am, want to see?" he began lifting his dress up, attempting to conceal
his smile.
"No no no." Stefan yelped with slight panic. "Your voice. It kind of gives you
away. It's just...you look a lot like a girl." He finished with a shy smile.
Christopher stood in a corner of the room listening in silence.
"Yeah?" Brian chirped, a smile spreading across his face.
"Is that supposed to make you happy?" the swede questioned amused.
"Guess so." the small man replied pointing at his own smiling face.
"You two are chatting up as if you were long lost friends." Chris finally
spoke. "You don't know this kid, do you baby?" he looked directly at Brian.
"Of course not. I don't know who the hell he is, but he's alright." Brian
replied with a smirk he tried his hardest to conceal. He picked himself up from
where he had settled on the floor and walked towards a small table where he
plugged in an electric kettle.
"You're gonna drink coffee? It's 3 in the morning, baby." Chris bickered.
"I like coffee." Brian whined. "You want some?...wha...what's your name?" he
yawned.
"Stefan." the swede replied.
"Um...swedish accent?" Brian questioned.
"Yeah!" Stefan beamed. "And no thanks, I don't want coffee right now. Good luck
falling asleep after drinking that."
"Actually, I think we wont be sleeping for a while, right Brian?" The black-
haired didn't respond.
"Look, I think I'll be leaving now." Stefan stood up from the bed and walked
towards the door, feeling awkward in the room.
"Wait!" Brian yelped. Why don't you stay a bit longer? You just got here, I
think we could help you a bit with settling in, y'know."
"No, it's really late. I fell asleep in here because I'm really tired from the
trip. I spent hours looking for this place and got here really late. I should
get into bed and sleep some." the boy replied.
"Yeah, of course" Brian replied with a small smile. "It was nice meeting you.
And sorry for the scare."
"Don't worry about it...?"
"Brian. My name's Brian." he smiled.
"Brian." the swede smiled back. He waved at both Chris and Brian and hurried
out the door happy to be out of the strange place. He closed the door behind
him making a beeline toward his own place. Turning the key, he made his way
inside the small room. It was smaller than Brian's place, but at least it
wasn't a complete mess. He set his bags on the floor and threw himself on the
small worn out mattress that was in the center of the room. He layed there
feeling as if he was between being awake and asleep. A liquid form of reality
unraveling before his eyes.
~
Chris sat down on the edge of the table scanning the room as if he were
checking for signs that he might have been imagining the whole thing. "What the
hell was that? Who was that bloke?" he asked, setting his eyes on Brian who was
busy pouring boiling water on a mug.
Brian smiles as he puts the kettle down on the table and pours instant coffee
onto the mug. "We need to get a proper coffeemaker. I'm tired of this crap."
"Did you even hear what I said?" Chris spat irritated. He threw himself on the
bed making it creak.
Brian exhaled loudly and took a sip from his boiling cup of cheap coffee as he
stared at his reflection in the mirror. "You think I'll get those eye-bag
thingies if I keep this up?" he asked curiously not moving from his spot.
"Y'know, I'd lose all my charm if that were to happen." He put his mug down on
the floor and took one of his ear hoops off.
Chris exhaled frustrated, covering his eyes with his hands. "I don't know why
I'm with you. Sometimes I forget you're a bloke." he smiled keeping his hands
on his eyes. "I think that guy is a spy."
Brian snorted almost choking on his coffee. "Why would anyone spy on us
exactly?" he questioned furrowing his brow.
"Think about it...maybe he wants to keep a close eye on us to drag us into some
illicit shit. And then when he gets busted he'll leave the load to us and make
his escape." he said in a tone of complete mockery.
"You're not even trying hun." Brian replied as he took a small sip from his mug
and sat on the edge of the bed picking up a record from a stack in the floor.
"That guy..." another sip. "...is probably just some poor kid who is running
away from home because he can't stand the rules that his parents make him
follow." he replied uninterested as he picked up a different record from the
floor and looked through the songs listed on the back.
"That sounds familiar." Chris replied from behind Brian in a completely serious
tone. "You've never told me why you left your home." He shifted so he was
facing Brian's back, resting his head on his hand. "You just dropped into my
life one day out of the blue and we fucked and I let you stay at my place and
then...you never left." There was a hint of melancholy in his words.
"You want me to?" Brian put his mug down on the floor and set the record he was
holding aside. He picked himself up from where he was sitting but was abruptly
pulled down towards the bed by a strong hand. He fell on top of Chris and the
blond pulled him closer to himself until they were facing each other, their
breaths quickening slightly.
Chris smiled amused, knowing he had Brian just were he wanted. "If I did, would
you leave?"
"I have dignity Chris..."
"Is your dignity really that strong?"
"Yes, it is."
"I don't think so. I really don't." He began hurriedly pulling up Brian's dress
and then pulling his tights down revealing his pale skin. "You really are such
a slut" he crackled taking in the sight of the small boy wearing nothing but
black lace underwear.
"And you like it." he smiled the smile of a person who is in complete control,
yet somewhere in his mind there was a small voice that urged him to run out of
the room as soon as possible. It was so small and Brian kept telling himself
that if he ignored it, it would go away. So he did. He began fumbling with
Chris' fly, unzipping and unbuttoning and pulling off. He pulled off his shirt
throwing it to the floor leaving them both in only their underwear. He looked
into the blond's icy blue eyes for what seemed a very long time, and then
climbed off from on top of him and walked towards an opened window. The blond
ran a hand through his hair irritably as he stared at Brian from the bed. The
younger boy took a cigarette from a box that was laying on the floor and lit
it, blowing smoke out into the world. The night world that he loved so much.
"You look so...fuckable." Chris remarked awkwardly from the bed. Brian smiled a
small smile and then stared back out the window. He watched a woman who was
walking outside with a beer in her hand, tripping and making strange gestures
with her hands. He saw her sit in a bench and talk to herself and stare at the
sky and throw her beer can at a passing dog, and he wished he was her.
"Come on baby. Come back to bed." Brian returned his gaze to the blond, to his
world. He looked at his hair, sticking out in all directions and...in his
stomach, he felt a sense of longing.
"Yeah." he walked towards the bed, stubbing out his cigarette in the ashtray
that was laying on the floor. He climbed on top of Chris, pinning him between
his legs. The moonlight tracing shadows on his pale fragile skin. He looked
directly at his lover's eyes. Trying to figure out something, though he wasn't
even sure what it was he was seeking answers to. His breaths fastened from the
anticipation, and he interrupted his trance by asking what he immediately
deemed as a very stupid question. "Why do you bother with me?" He sighted
feeling pathetic. Chris didn't make the situation any better as he proceeded to
laugh a somewhat small laugh.
"Because I like you, silly." he replied, the smirk lingering on his lips. "I
like fucking you." He caressed Brian's cheek endearingly. The small boy snapped
out of his embarrased state, surprised by the gentle gesture. "It isn't a
bother...you're not a bother baby." He continued caressing Brian's pale face in
small circles, moving closer and closer to his lips. The younger boy opened his
mouth slightly, closing his eyes and allowing himself to sink into the so
familiar feeling. He felt himself drift away from reality and it made him want
to punch himself. How more pathetic could he get? He was just too easy. And
then two fingers slipped into his mouth interrupting his thoughts. He closed
his lips, sucking on the fingers inside. And it was this precise pattern that
made Brian want to pull his hair out and cry himself to sleep. He was helpless.
He felt like the most loathsome piece of skin in the face of the earth.
"Please..." he trailed off, not sure what he was begging for. He squeezed his
eyes shut, in some sort of attempt to fool himself. Make himself believe he
didn't really want this. But he did. He really really did. Chris removed the
sleek fingers from Brian's warm mouth, drawing wet trails in his cheeks and
lips.
"Get on your knees, get on your knees.." the blond urged the younger boy in a
raspy whisper. Brian climbed off the bed, kneeling beside the bed. The blond
stood up from the mattress removing his underwear clumsily. The black-haired
eyed him eagerly. Chris pulled the younger boy closer and closer to him,
keeping him on his knees. Brian closed his eyes for what seemed like the
millionth time that night, and he couldn't figure out what was torturing him
the most between shame and need. He was battling with the rush of emotions when
he felt the blond pull him harshly by the hair, forcing him to look up at him.
He opened his eyes to meet icy blue staring back at him.
It was nothing new. They had established this dynamic early on in their
turbulent relationship, but it never failed to hit him like a ton of bricks.
The realization of what he had gotten himself into. That it was exactly what he
wanted. He stared back at the blond, unable to move his head. Chris held him
there, a firm grip on his black silky hair. He stared back at Brian, the small
boy almost trembling.
"please..." Brian begged. "please please plea..." Chris pushed his cock all the
way to the back of the small boy's throat making him gag.
"Fuck" the blond threw his head back relishing the feeling of Brian's warm
mouth around his cock. He pulled Brian from his hair, away from him. The small
boy kept his mouth wide open, his eyes shut. "Stand up." came a voice from
above. It rang alien in Brian's ears. "Get up." The voice became more insistent
and the small boy obeyed. The blond only giving him enough time to stand up
before he pushed him hard against the wall. "Tell me you want it. Tell me you
want it you whore." Chris spat, millimeters away from Brian's face. The small
boy looked up from mascara-inked lashes.
"I want it." a shaky voice responded. Brian could feel his heartbeat
quickening, his breaths deepening more and more as the anticipation grew in the
pit of his stomach, like a billion bugs eating away at him.
"Tell me you want my cock. Tell me you want it, my bitch." Chris wrapped a
single hand around Brian's neck.
"I...I want your cock." There was a tinge of shame in his tone. He lowered his
gaze to the ground, grinding his teeth.
"Look at me." demanded the taller man.
Brian raised his gaze, looking at the blond before him. He shook under his
grip, the sensation of being completely controlled taking over his body. "I
want your cock, I want your cock" he pleaded. His eyes strangely innocent. He
felt as if something was shattering inside him, but the need helped to silence
the sensation. The blond attacked his mouth violently, his tongue intruding
inside. He kissed him hard hard hard, and Brian could barely breathe. Their
breaths loud and heated and impatient. Chris broke the kiss, their eyes
meeting. Brian held the blond's face between his hands, rubbing small gentle
circles on his cheeks with his thumbs. The taller man squeezed the younger
boy's neck, making his eyes water. Their lips met again. Chris' tongue swirling
inside the small of Brian's mouth. He bit his lip so hard it made the small boy
shriek in pain. The blood flowing down his lip and into his mouth. The metallic
taste making his cock twitch. Chris pushed the small boy to his knees again
making him hit the ground with a loud thud.
"Open your mouth..."
Brian obeyed, opening his mouth and closing his eyes. The blond pushed his cock
all the way to the back of Brian's throat, holding the back of his head with
one of his hands. He pushed deeper and deeper until his whole cock was inside,
his balls rubbing against Brian's chin. He gasped, digging his fingers into
Brian's sweaty hair. He kept Brian's head in place until he heard a muffled
gagging sound from the small boy's mouth. He pulled his cock out, enjoying how
desperate Brian looked right there on his knees. He lowered himself down,
meeting Brian at eye-level. "You look like a whore." The words echoed in
Brian's ears, his gaze lowering to the floor. "Look at me!" Chris spat, pushing
his chin up so their eyes met again. "You know you're my bitch, right?" He
whispered with a shaky voice. "Tell me you're my bitch."
Brian bit his bottom lip, his breaths becoming shallow and ragged. "I'm your
bitch." his eyes not moving, still staring directly at Chris' blue pools. He
moved closer to his lover's face until they were only inches apart. "I'm your
bitch." He whispered, his breaths mixing with Chris'. The blonde lifted him up
like a plastic doll, holding him by the waist and attacking his lips sloppily
as he walked them towards the bed. An awkward sound of metal springs as they
hit the bed. The blonde settled the smaller boy between his thighs, moving his
lips from his mouth to his neck sucking at it until he whimpered in pain. He
forced a finger into Brian's mouth, his tongue immediately responding to the
intrusion, licking at the digit. Chris removed his finger from the wet of the
smaller boy's moth, removing a strand of hair from his face.
"I want you to fuck me." Brian could hear the despair in his voice, but he was
a mess by then and couldn't care less about shame. Chris looked at him
defiantly, smirking from above.
"Say please."
Brian licked his lips. "Please."
The blond returned to his mouth, this time pushing two fingers inside, swirling
them around impatiently. His gaze fixed on broken green in Brian's eyes. Broken
like pieces of shattered glass from a beer bottle. He slipped them out once
more, and In a rushed move flipped the black-haired on his stomach, his bum
facing up. He pulled his lace panties off with one hand, tossing them on the
ground. Brian looked down on the floor, bracing for the pain he knew he would
feel. A sleek finger pushed inside his hole. He could feel it stretching him
from inside, then another. He moaned against the bedsheets refusing to close
his eyes, refusing to close them. The fingers dug in and out of him, deeper
each time. More harshly. Then he felt the tip of Chris' cock against his
entrance, the need manifesting in ripples through his stomach. He wanted to
shout, but he knew he had to keep his mouth shut. Then he could feel it pushing
inside him. It felt like it was tearing him apart. The pleasure, the pain. The
need to fill the hole that he'd been walking around with since birth. Chris
pushed deeper inside of him, spreading his thin pale legs. He dug his nails on
the younger boy's thighs, running them up and down up and down, leaving red
streaks like trails.
"More, more." Brian pleaded, his voice muffled. Chris dug his nails on the
boy's bum making red lines as he starched the delicate skin. Brian shivered in
pleasure, pushing his ass up against Chris' cock. The taller boy re-positioned
himself, spreading Brian's thighs further and holding him from the waist. He
sped up his rhythm, pushing in and out of Brian, speeding up until the sound of
flapping skins became obscene. Brian's vision became blurry and out of focus.
He was so intoxicated with pleasure, so numbed by it that he couldn't feel the
pain of Chris' nails running up and down the sides of his thighs. "Harder,
harder." He rasped. His own nails digging into the edges of the mattress. Chris
pushed his cock inside Brian violently, making the younger boy unable to hold
the moan that escaped his lips. The blond ran his nails deeper into Brian's
pale skin, faster and faster and faster. And then red ran into the white
sheets, drawing dots and patterns on the bed. The blond shifted them sideways,
taking Brian's cock with one hand. Brian whimpered from the touch.
The blond busied himself with the younger boy's cock, stroking it in
alternating speeds, biting his shoulders as he did. Brian whimpered trying to
keep the noises from his mouth from escaping. The blond dropped the boy's cock,
moving shifting himself inside Brian. The younger boy took himself in hand,
stroking his own cock at a steady rhythm. The blond thrust once, twice...his
breaths loud and uneven. And then Brian could feel the release of energy that
ran through his body. Pleasure running in ripples through his stomach. He could
feel it rushing through his veins. He felt how it swirled around like a drug.
Dimming and dimming slowly as when a roller-coaster slows down before the halt.
He felt how the pleasure swam out of him in waves and left him limp and
lifeless. He heard Chris let out a loud sigh, then the sound of metal springs.
The bed lifting up from Chris' weight coming off. He heard the blond walk away,
his feet against the carpet. Brian closed his eyes. He could feel the sticky
between his cheeks and between his fingers, on his cock. He felt exposed, there
lying on the bed completely naked. But he was too weak to move, so he stayed
there with his eyes closed. Hugging his legs up towards his chest. He heard The
noise of the bathroom door closing and then the shower going on. Finally the
embarrassment was too much to take and he managed to move his arm to cover
himself up with the sheets.

     Stef spills coffee on Brian.
Chapter Notes
     I am actually really excited about this chapter because Bri and Stef
     finally have an actual conversation. I took a lot longer than I
     wanted to, but I've been feeling really depressed lately so it's
     really hard to do much of anything. I hope you guys like it. Leave
     your comments! It really means a lot to me, and I do read them <3
Brian didn't know what time it was when he found himself laying on the bed
alone. Christopher was nowhere to be seen, but that didn't surprise him one
bit. He pulled the sheets off of himself, the sight of his naked body making
him feel extremely uncomfortable. Something just didn't feel right about the
situation, but as usual he shooed the thought out of his mind. He sat on the
edge of the bed, the smell of the room suffocating. He walked to the dresser on
the other side of the room, picking an over-sized shirt from a drawer and
putting it on.
"Okay." he spoke to himself. He was off work that day, and on those times he
found himself completely empty with nothing to do. He sat on the floor looking
through his bag. A mirror, a lipstick, a pocket knife, aha! a box of
cigarettes. He opened the box taking a stick on his hand and lighting it up
with the lighter that was carelessly laying on the floor. Inhale, exhale.
Does this count as a cigarette after sex? he wondered, shrugging the thought
off. No. Where's your lover, bimbo? He smiled to himself, not really knowing
why. Perhaps because smoking a cigarette still felt really good, or maybe
because he was alone and it made him feel a tiny bit better.
~
Stefan found himself sitting down in a rather uncomfortable chair, starring out
of the window as he cut a piece of pancake into bite-size. People scrambled
around out on the streets. They all seemed to know exactly where they were
going. Well, probably because they did know exactly where it was they were
heading, but Stefan didn't. The food joint had an awful smell of strawberry jam
mixed with bleach. It made him feel more confused, out of place and on the
verge of tears. Here he was, in a country he had only visited once, alone,
still fifteen. There had been no objection to his leaving. Not from his mom,
and certainly not from his dad. It had been a cold blow. Never in his life had
he imagined his parents would have a problem with him being — the way he was.
They were fairly open minded and understanding, so it had taken him aback when
he learned of their disapproval. It didn't take long for him to decide leaving
the country was the best thing to do. He felt he had already disappointed them
enough by deciding to study music, and after a second disappointment it just
seemed like the obvious step to take. At least that's how it seemed to him. He
chewed on a piece of pancake, doubting for a moment if perhaps he was eating
pancakes with bleach and smelling strawberry jam.
~
Brian starred at a blank spot on the wall. He really needed to paint those damn
walls. Too bad he was inept at those type of things. He propped both of his
legs up on the wall as he layed on the bed, belly up. He chewed off a sugary
donut that had been left on the table from god knows how many days before. It
tasted fine, so he figured it wouldn't kill him. He felt like a little girl
laying there carelessly, makeup smudged on his face. Sometimes it sickened him.
He had the gut feeling that he was willingly indulging in a lie. Too bad he
liked the lie. Outside it was cloudy and rainy and shitty. He wouldn't go out
because his hair would go haywire and with it his mood. There was a chocolate
donut on the table too, he figured he could finish the sugary one and then head
over for the chocolate one. Too bad that was all there was left because he felt
like eating twelve dozens worth. It didn't matter how much he ate anyways, his
body seemed to be able to take anything and everything. He was convinced there
was nothing in this world that could possibly make Brian Molko fat. He reached
over for the note mr-i-dont-like-labels had left him.
He read aloud.
"I'll be back late, don't wait for me." Prick.
~
Stefan walked outside of the food joint. The place was alright he supposed, but
the smell really made it unbearable. He knew sooner or later he'd have to find
a better place to eat breakfast. He walked as he though about this very
important problem, and as he approached a donut shop a sign that read NOW
HIRING grabbed his attention. He also needed a job. He walked over to the small
shop, the smell making him smile instantly in delight. A cheery employee
approached him, a grin across her face. Her hair was blonde and was arranged in
two pigtails.
"Do you need any help?" the girl asked.
"Um...I was wondering about the sign outside the shop. You're hiring?" he felt
queasy. Maybe the pancakes did have bleach in them rather than strawberry jam.
The girl smiled even brighter. "Yeah. My dad...he owns the shop. He told me to
make a sign and put it out there! We need someone to mop and clean the loo."
Great.
"I can do that." he smiled back. Why did he smile? Was he happy at the idea of
cleaning toilets for a living?
"Terrific! Um, you have a phone number?" Stefan shook his head. "Look, just
give me your name and I'll make a note to tell my dad to come by and talk to
you tomorrow."
Stefan noded in approval and waited for the eager girl to take hold of paper
and pen before he told her his name. "Stefan Olsdal."
~
So the room smelled of weed, cigarettes, and now also of nail polish. Brian's
hair was soaking wet from the boiling hot shower he had just taken, and the
water droplets fell on his hands interrupting his concentration. He had done
both of his hands and now was finishing his toe nails. He was clean and comfy
in another oversized shirt he borrowed from his — whatever he was. He sat on
the edge of the bed contemplating his masterpiece. Eight years of practicing
the art and he was a master at it. He played with the varnish bottle, turning
it around with one hand and then with the other. He thought about washing the
dishes but then dismissed the idea. He felt slightly empty. Like if there was
something missing in the pit of his stomach. The feeling twisted around,
shifted around, like a nagging baby when it wants to be fed. Except Brian
wasn't going to fall for his inner cry-baby. The little fucker could whine all
it wanted, he would just lay there in bed, looking up at the ceiling completely
ignoring the fact that he really wanted to be dead. He sat with the feeling,
the desire to be erased and cleansed from the surface of the earth. He sat with
it in silence, like you sit with a friend of your parents when you don't want
to be rude and leave them alone in the living room. There was an
acknowledgement that the feeling was there, a complete acceptance. And when he
thought he had given it the necessary attention, he shooed it off.
~
Stefan walked out of the donut shop with a small box on one of his hands. He
stared down at it looking at the colorful glazings through the plastic top.
There was one with light pink frosting and white circular sprinkles, another
one with chocolate glaze and colorful nonpareils, and a third one with plain
clear glaze. The day had turned cloudy and cold, and he quickened his pace to
make his way back to his flat as fast as he could. On the other hand he held a
carton cup with coffee in it, the warmth radiating from his hand to the rest of
his body. He took little sips from it warming himself up a bit. It seemed he
had walked farther than he thought, and he was having a difficult time keeping
himself from shivering. No jacket, brilliant! He thought to himself. He felt
like a small child attempting to tie his shoelaces and failing. He felt exactly
like that. Here he was, fifteen years old...completely clueless as to what he
was doing with his life, no direction ahead, no landing spot. Sometimes he felt
rather silly when he gave his actions a deeper thought. He had moved away from
home by impulse. He hadn't thought about it hard enough. He knew he had
partially done it to get back at his parents, more than for himself. He wanted
to make them miss him, and now he could see how childish that was. Nonetheless,
it seemed to him that there was something that pulled him towards London. It
almost felt like he had dreamed it, like something was subliminally trying to
tell him that this is where he should be. He walked around a corner, then
walked for a few minutes more...and soon enough he was in front of the building
that was now his home. He went inside, the warmth immediately sending relief
down his spine. It smelled weird, the whole place. It smelled like rotten wood
and rain in a dirty city. He went up a flight of stairs, pausing to better-hold
the box of donuts in one hand. He walked a few steps more only for the box to
begin opening under his arm once more. With a grunt, he settled his coffee cup
on the floor and kneeled down to fix the box properly. He stood up abruptly,
annoyed by the whole situation, taking a couple of careless steps with his
sight still glued to the floor. It took him a few moments to register that he
had unwillingly pushed a small person to the floor.
"Um...I'm sorry!" his voice shaken with embarrassment. It took him even longer
to realize the box of donuts had gone flying through the air and landed on the
floor, the desserts now ruined, and the coffee...had spilled on top of the
small person still laying on the floor. He heard a grunt of pain from below,
bringing him back to what was happening before him.
"I am so sorry!" he stretched a hand out, offering whoever he had misfortuned,
help standing up. A pair of blue-green eyes peered from behind a curtain of
black silky hair. A smiled spread across small lips.
"It's you!" the small figure yelped, stretching out an arm to be assisted.
Smile widening.
"Brian?" Stefan questioned unsure, pulling the small boy up by the hand.
"Yeah. 'S me!"
"Fuck, I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention." He looked Brian up and down,
taking in the sight of his coffee-stained clothes. Feeling even worse about the
whole situation. "Jesus"
"What?" Brian asked concerned. "Jesus what?" Then he remembered he was only
wearing a long shirt that came down to the middle of his thighs. "Get used to
seeing me like this. I don't dress up every day, y'know." a smile spreading
across his face again.
Stefan chuckled. "No! I wasn't talking about...that" he pointed at Brian,
bewildered that anyone would go out dressed like that. "I spilled coffee all
over you!"
"It's okay honey." he replied, twisting a wet part of the bottom of shirt with
his fingers...pulling the fabric up slightly in attempt to squeeze out some of
the coffee.
"No no no!" Stefan jumped up alarmed, removing Brian's hands from his own shirt
and pulling it back down. "Do...Don't do that." he whispered, embarrassed by
his response.
"Oh?" Brian starred at Stefan, who was hiding his gaze from him. "Oh my. You
really don't look the part. I am usually really quick at this, but you don't
seem like it at all! I think I would've never guessed." His amused tone
worrying the swede.
"Wha...what are you on about?"
"You're gay!" the small boy smiled coyly.
Stefan attempted an air-through-the-nose chuckle but his insides were frozen.
"No."
"Yes you are. What should I call you from now on? Steffie?" he chuckled, still
amused by the whole situation.
"Stef." and he wanted to punch himself as soon as he said it.
Brian's smile softened. "Okay. I like it."
"I'm still not gay..." the swede trailed off. Irritated by his cowardice. Here
he was, in front of the most flamboyant man he had ever seen and he still
couldn't say it.
"Okay." Brian noded knowingly, looking down at the floor not knowing exactly
what to say next.
"I'm sorry about the coffee." Stef filled in the silence.
"It's alright. This isn't mine anyway." the short boy pulled at the fabri.
"It's that dick's shirt."
"By that dick you mean..."
"Christopher. That guy you saw at my flat yesterday. Well, his flat really." he
cringed as soon as the words left his mouth.
"Are you two together?" Stefan asked genuinely curious.
"I dunno." And Brian really didn't know the real answer to that question. He
tried not thinking about it too much, because he knew it really didn't depend
on him. "we fuck".
Stef closed his eyes, feeling uncomfortable.
"Here..." Brian pulled Stefan by the hand, walking him towards a balcony-esque
window. "Keep me company while this shirt dries off, yeah?" he smiled sweetly.
Stef knew that was a rather silly proposal. Brian could just go into his flat
and change shirts, but he wasn't going to complain. He liked talking to the
small boy. "Okay..."
Brian smiled, settling in a spot in front of the open window. Stefan stared
out, the sky darkening outside. He was taken aback when Brian grabbed his hand,
holding it between his own. The pale skin of the smaller boy was cool and
soft—except for his fingertips. He could feel the calluses.
"You play guitar?" the swede smiled, finally relaxing.
"Yeah." Brian's gaze dropped to the floor. It was odd to him, he couldn't
exactly understand why he always felt so exposed when the topic of music or
guitar was brought up. "I play...but, just because I like it. I don't do much
with it anyways."
"Neither do I." the taller boy laughed. "I didn't bring my guitar though. I
left it back at home. Didn't think it would be of any use, but I guess it
would've been nice to jam out with you." he felt sad as he said that.
"You could always get another one, y'know." Brian offered shyly. And it was
strange because Stef never imagined he would be able to make the smaller boy
feel shy.
"Maybe." the swede replied, a small grin still hung on his lips. He realized
his hand was still between Brian's small palms, it felt odd. It felt odd but
nice. He looked up from their hands to meed Brian's blue-greens staring at him.
"You have nice lips." and it seemed to Stef that he couldn't pull his hand away
from Brian's fast enough. What was this guy doing?
"Wha...?" the words rang on his ears, making him feel strange and
uncomfortable. He could almost feel the floor opening under his feet, splitting
in two...and he hoped it would swallow him. He looked up to see Brian was still
staring at him.
"You do." the small boy smiled like it was completely normal to go around
telling boys they had nice lips. "And pretty eyes...and nice hands."
"Please don't." the swede felt defeated, like he was being pushed into a
corner, shoved into it making him unable to breathe. "You tell me that...and it
makes me feel afraid."
It struck Brian by surprise. Stef's words. "Why so?"
"Because...I really think you're gorgeous."

Chapter Notes
     OKAY! This is kind of important: I learned that the age of consent in
     England is sixteen, so I had to change things around a little. I know
     irl Brian and Stef are two years apart (not even two), but for the
     sake of this story and because this is AU anyways, they're going to
     be 3 full years apart. So I changed Stef's age from 17 to 15.
See the end of the chapter for more notes
Brian looked at Stefan for a few minutes, bewildered by what he'd just heard.
"you say that like you mean it" he replied with a giggle.
"I mean it." the swede shot back, surprising himself. How was it that he was
saying these things?
"So you are gay" the black-haired looked at Stefan, searching for his gaze.
"Yeah. I'm gay, Brian." he let out a loud sigh.
"See, was that too hard to say?" the small boy offered a warm smile. "I'm a
poof, a sissy, a nancy boy. Better to say with pride." he shrug off.
"You're crazy." the swede smiled back.
"A little"
"Your nails!" Stefan interrupted, taking one of Brian's hands and examining the
black varnish. "They look...nice." the smaller boy's hand felt strange in his.
It was warm and almost felt like a child's.
"Thanks!" Brian shot back with a cheery grin.
"You have kind of small hands."
"Yeah, well my feet aren't that much better. Didn't get lucky I guess." the
black-haired replied a little sad.
Stefan stared out the window, the sky almost completely dark. His chest felt
strange. Tight. Like the night was swallowing it.
"How old are you?" Brian interrupted.
"What?..."
"How old are you?"
"fif...fifteen."
"Oh?"
"You?" Stefan suddenly felt awkward.
"Nineteen." Brian replied with a quick nod.
"That guy looks really old for you." the taller boy continued. "how old is he?
thirty?"
"He's twenty-seven."
"Yeah, he's too old for you."
"And you're too young." the black-haired shot back a little annoyed.
"Who said anything about me?" the swede replied confused and bothered.
"You're not of age anyway. Plus, I don't like being bottom with somebody
younger than me..."
"Can you stop?!" Stefan shot, feeling his cheeks flush. He brought a hand to
the side of his face, the heat radiating from his face to his hand to his arm.
"What's your problem anyways? Brian was confused by stefan's reaction.
"Nothing! You just talk too much about...sex." the swede replied, the heat
remaining on his cheeks.
"I like sex. I'm sorry if I'm making you uncomfortable." he replied trying to
sound honest but failing.
"Yeah, it's fine."
"Have you even been with someone?" and this time Brian didn't even attempt to
cover the tone of his voice. plain curiosity.
"Yes, I have." the swede shot back annoyed.
"Okay."
There was an awkward silence between them. It lingered and lingered. Neither
Brian nor Stef felt comfortable enough to break it, so they stood in silence,
staring out the window. It had become really dark, and it seemed to Brian that
they had been standing there talking forever. But they really hadn't.
Finally Stefan broke the silence, and it took every cell in him to speak up
again. "Okay, I'm heading back to my flat. You should order me a pizza to make
up for such an unpleasant conversation." he attempted a joke, but it came out
more serious than he wanted.
"Pizza? I can do that." the shorter boy replied, relief in his voice. "What
toppings?"
"Ham...and pineapple."
"yuck. okay, whatever you'd like." the black-haired offered good-naturedly, a
soft smile on his lips. "I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable. I can be
an asshole sometimes."
"It's alright."
"Whenever you'd like, I can do your nails for you! I'm great at it...and you
don't have to buy the varnish. I have a lot of colors back in...my flat." Brian
offered.
"Me? You doing MY nails?" Stef asked amused.
"Yeah! You definitely strike me as the type. Christopher doesn't like those
things, and I have a feeling you do. And if you don't, I think you will. Plus,
he isn't the pretty type. He's hot, but not necessarily pretty."
"Ha. And you mean to tell me I'm the pretty type?"
"Didn't I say your lips are nice and your eyes pretty? I did, didn't I? And
when I give a compliment to a boy, I mean it."
"So you don't think your boyfriend has pretty eyes? That's what you're saying?"
Stefan felt awkward, why did he care what this boy thought of him?
"His lips are nice." Brian smiled, closing his eyes.
"But his eyes aren't?" the swede asked confused, and his confusion grew when he
saw Brian reach up for his face, his hands on either side.
"When I look into your eyes, I see a good person." and it took Stefan's whole
strength to not tremble as he heard Brian's words. "There's
something...beautiful in them."
"And...you don't see that in your boyfriend's eyes?" Stef asked, still under
the small boy's touch.
"He's not my boyfriend..." the black-haired replied dropping his hands from
Stef's face. "And no, I don't see that in his eyes."
Stefan felt weird, standing there in front of such a beautiful boy. He felt
strange because he had never been this close to a boy he liked this much. He
felt afraid.
"Then, why are you with him?"
"That doesn't really concern you." Brian replied nonchalantly. And Stefan could
only nod.
"Well, I have to go now." the swede replied, although he really didn't. There
wasn't something he had to do, there was nowhere he had to go.
"Yeah, to your flat, right? I have to get back too."
"You were going out, no? And then I ran into you and spilled coffee all over
your clothes." stef felt sad as he said that, but he didn't understand why.
"No, I wasn't really going anywhere. I just wanted to step outside. I spend the
whole fucking day in there. When I'm not working I'm in there."
"You work?" it amused Stefan to think that Brian could fit somewhere. He
himself never felt like he fit anywhere, and here was this boy who apparently
did, and he was all kinds of strange.
"Yeah. I do makeup for some gay guys in a pub." the small boy chuckled as he
said it.
"Of course you do." the swede replied endearingly.
"Well, go to your flat and get to bed!" Brian interrupted the conversation. He
looked down at his wrist, pretending there was a watch there: "It's around time
you little boys go to bed, no?" he joked, a silly smile lingering on his lips.
Stefan squinted his eyes in disbelief, smiling at just how easy the shorter boy
made insulting-in-a-good-way seem. "yeah, I supposed." he replied with a smile
himself. And with that turned around and walked slowly in the direction of his
flat, leaving Brian alone. Again.
~
Stefan's room was empty. No one there, and hardly anything. An old beaten
mattress, a pair of sneakers, a few bags...some papers. He felt rather lonely
as he looked around the small place and found himself with no one to talk to.
Back in Sweden he didn't really have close friends, but he always had someone
he could have easy conversations with. Someone from the basketball team, a mate
from music class. Theo was an older boy and was probably the closest. He had
helped him find this flat, but he had the impression that he did it simply out
of curtesy. They had become really close friends and Stefan confided in him
that he was gay. He thought it would be alright, Theo was a good guy, and
although he didn't take it harshly Stefan believed it made him feel
uncomfortable around him. They spoke here and there, but began distancing
little by little. Soon Stefan told his parents and the whole ship kind of sank.
He felt that Theo only helped him find a place to stay because he felt sorry
for him. And now he was here...alone and friendless. To make matters worse he
felt like he wouldn't be able to prevent himself from running into Brian all
the time, and although he really liked him he also made him feel uncomfortable.
~
Brian threw his keys on a table by the entrance of his flat. The metal made a
loud thud against the wood making him grunt in annoyance. He let out the breath
that he'd been holding and dropped his bag on the floor. It was really cold. Or
at least he felt really cold. He walked towards the dresser digging into a
drawer to find a something to cover himself up. He put on the first thing he
found — a beaten down thorn-up black zipper sweater. He didn't bother to change
his coffee-stained shirt. He simply put it on like that and starred at his
reflection in the mirror, not sure if he felt disgust or amusement. He sat on
the floor, resting his back on the bed. He closed his eyes and opened them and
closed them again. He kept them like that for a few seconds, wondering what it
would be like to go blind. He opened them again staring up at the ceiling. And
then he remembered something.
~
Stefan dug into one of his bags, mixing around the contents trying to find a
toothbrush. He'd woken up late. The day had seemed so so short. He'd barely
done anything. He shuffled around the things inside the bag not succeeding with
the whole toothbrush business. Instead he found a rubber ball. One of those
high-bounce ones. He threw himself on the bed and proceeded to throw the round
toy up towards the ceiling, catching it with one hand. He continued trowing it
up and catching it on loop, and he hadn't felt like such a child in a really
long time.
~
Brian was still sitting on the floor in a coma-state when he heard the door
open. He turned around to see Christopher walk in with bags of food in his
hands.
"Baby!" he exclaimed running towards him. The blond settled the plastic bags on
the table, spreading his arms to greet the short boy. Brian jumped up, the
taller boy lifting him up for a few brief seconds and pecking him on the lips.
"What has you all perked up babe?" the blond questioned with a smile.
"Nothing really. Just happy to see you. You're such a jerk, y'know. You left me
here alone the whole day."
"you could've gone out. I didn't tell you not to." Chris replied carelessly,
opening up the noodle and rice boxes, steam coming out into the cold of the
room.
"Yeah, but I wanted to go out with you."
"Well, I had to go do some stuff, okay?"
"Yeah? What? and where to?"
"You sound like a whiny girlfriend babe."
"well that's kind of what I am, am I not?" the short boy shot back, a little
upset.
Chris pulled Brian towards himself by the waist, pushing their bodies together.
"Yeah, sort of. I suppose." he replied in mockery. "Although you're more like
my private whore." Brian bit his lip, attempting to conceal a grin and somewhat
succeeding. "I brought you something.." the blond broke the embrace.
"What?" Brian questioned, anticipation in his tone.
Christopher dug into the inside pocket of his jacket searching for something.
"It's...It's somewhere in here. There it is..." he grinned from cheek to cheek
pulling out a brown bag from his pocket, two needles poking out.
~
Stefan was laying on the bed, looking through papers and junk from his bags
when he heard a knock on the door. Confused he walked towards the entrance to
his flat, turning the knob around to find a young man stretching out a box and
grinning at him with a forced smile.
"Your ham and pineapple pizza...sir." the red-head offered, pushing the box
towards Stefan.
Stefan smiled sheepishly feeling silly standing there like an idiot. "Oh yeah,
wait a minute..." he reached into his pocket, coins clattering against one
another.
"Oh no sir, your order has been paid for." the red-head informed, his smile
beginning to fade.
"Oh...okay. Thanks." the swede replied dumbly, taking the box from the red-head
and shutting the door. He heard footsteps outside and waited until they faded
away and then proceeded to laugh. "wow". He opened the box, the smell swifting
through the air and making his stomach turn in anticipation. He was about to
pull out a slice when a note stuck to the inside of the lid caught his
attention. He pulled it from the carton, the paper coming out clean from the
box. In it were words scribbled messily in blue ink.
It read:
"I really think you're gorgeous too. -Brian"
And Stefan didn't know what to do, so he closed his eyes, took a slice and took
a bite from it.

Chapter Summary
     A scene between Brian and Chris.
Chapter Notes
     This is an extremely short chapter. It isn't really a chapter. Take
     it more like a scene <3
See the end of the chapter for more notes
Brian never gave much thought to it. He didn't necessarily want to consider the
possible explanations to why the man that had been fucking him for the last
three years sometimes didn't come home. He thought he knew why. Or...actually
he did know why. It wasn't really a secret. The thing is that he didn't really
know if it bothered him or not. He knew the man he had been having sex with for
the last three years slept around. He himself was a one-night-stand at one
point, but for some reason he'd stuck. And he held on to that fact for dear
life. But now that they were sitting there at a burger stand, face to face, a
burger in one hand, a fry in the other...he really began thinking about it.
Three years too late, but better late than never. He thought about it really
hard, one way and then the other. Sideways, backwards. It was odd not knowing
how he felt about fucking a guy who fucked other guys on the regular. Either
way he knew their situation was slowly tiptoeing into disaster. It was
difficult to see how bad it really was. But how can you really say anything
about how bad things are when you poke your arm with a needle every day? And
these were the things that consumed his brain as he sat under fluorescent
light. Trying not to look up, trying desperately to avoid the other man's eyes.
"You're not listening to me..." Chris interrupted his thoughts, sipping soda
from a straw.
"What?" Brian shook his head, attempting to shake off the thoughts that were
plaguing his mind. "What were you saying?"
"I said you should eat more. You're getting bone-thin."
"I eat. Too much actually. Fuck off, will you?" the small boy replied, still
not looking up. He swirled a fry in the puddle of ketchup that was splashed on
the paper his burger had been wrapped in. The food was kind of tasteless, it
lacked salt.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" the blond questioned, annoyed by Brian's
irritated state.
The small boy looked up slowly, still wanting to avoid eye contact with the man
in front of him, but knowing he needed to get him to shut up if he wanted his
brain not to explode. "I said fuck off. My brain hurts." He tossed the burger
carelessly on the plastic tray. It really was tasteless.
"I'm not getting you any more dope if you're..."
"I'm not a fucking child. Don't lecture me. And I can get my own anyways." it
was cloudy outside. again. it seemed to always be cloudy.
"Jesus..."
~
It didn't really matter how much Stefan tried to convince himself that a job
was a job and money was money...he still did not want to clean toilets and mop
for a living. And he felt like he would never want to eat donuts again. Bad
association. The girl that had helped him get the job seemed pleasant and
friendly at first, but now her high-pitched voice was really getting on his
last nerve. The little bell on the door rang and rang as customers came in and
out. He really had to find another way to make money. This was just not gonna
cut it. Aside from the fact that the noises and the nature of the job were
beyond annoying, the pay was sourly low. Too little hours as well. It simply
wasn't going to cut it. He had desperately been trying to avoid the thought,
but he knew that soon Markel was going to arrive to London and he'd have to
deal with having a flatmate. It was good..they'd split rent and that would
definitely help him, but it made him uncomfortable just to think about living
with another guy. And those were the things that ran through his mind as he
moped the floors of the shop.
~
The day had faded into a fastidious ending once more. It seemed to Brian that
all he did was eat and sleep and on some nights, work. And all he wanted to do
lately was melt into the euphoria that was a heroin high. He was lying. He
really couldn't afford his own drugs. And just as he knew that Chris slept
around, he also knew he was doing something to afford their needs. And he
really didn't want to think about what it could be. They walked in silence side
by side, Brian keeping his head down, Chris biting his nails. The drunk lady
from the other night was sitting on the ground smoking a cigarette, the same
dog was with her. Surely it was hers. Brian kept thinking about this because he
really didn't want to think about his own problems. The blond towered over him
even more than usual, since he was keeping his head down and slouching. It made
him feel like a child. The night was cold as was the night before and the night
before that. It did virtually nothing to wake him up. His mind was going on and
on in circles, like a a hamster on a hamster-wheel. It didn't make since. How
he ended up like this. His life was pathetic. His eyelashes felt heavy every
time he blinked. Lately he'd been doing everything on auto-pilot. He'd probably
put way too much mascara on. But it was okay. That didn't really matter. And it
also didn't really matter how little he thought of himself. You're just
supposed to carry on like that, right? I mean, who in the hell has time to slow
down and fix themselves? No one. They arrived at the pub a little earlier than
usual. Henry was sitting at his desk, looking through some papers. They
remained silent. It felt strange. They hadn't been talking that much the whole
day. It had never ocurred to Brian how unhappy they really were together. They
didn't really laugh that much, and they were always fighting. That night he
finally noticed it.
"Babe, I feel like shit today. I'm just gonna do a simple style, okay? And I'm
heading back home after I finish all of you, so don't wait for me." the blond
stared at him as if he'd just spoken in another language.
"Why?...I mean, why aren't you gonna wait for me?"
It was dreadful. It was dreadful to have to explain himself so much. He inhaled
through his nose and loudly exhaled through his mouth. "I...I told you I feel
like shit. I'm gonna go lay down or something. I'm just, not entirely here. If
you know what I mean. I really feel awful." he eyed the taller man with hopeful
eyes. Crossing his fingers that it'd be a good enough excuse to leave. Although
it wasn't really an excuse, it was simply an honest explanation. A half-truth.
The blond man nodded with a shaky grin on his lips.
"Fine. I hope You get better. See you around then?"
"Yeah. So that means you're not coming home tonight, right? And if I stayed
waiting for you, you'd probably walk me home, drop me off and then leave.
You're such a dick."
"Yeah, I probably am. Too bad you're addicted to sex and drugs. And you need me
for both."
Brian rolled his eyes. It never failed to surprise him how Chris could anger
him so fast. He was so goddamned pissed. Henry cleared his throat, shifting in
his seat and then standing up to leave the room, closing the door behind him.
"I fucking hate your guts." Brian spat, looking directly at Chris. The taller
man was unreadable. A blank stare.
"Sure you do. Fine. You hate me. That doesn't make what I said any less true."
"I think you need me more than I need you, and you're too dumb to realize
that."
"You think so?" the blond shot back, a mocking grin spreading across his face.
"Do you really think that Molko? Because I really don't. I don't need you. I
can sleep with as many blokes as I want and I can get my own fucking dope."
Brian stared at him. And he knew what he wanted to say, but he just couldn't
make himself spit it out. "You know how many guys want to suck my dick? You're
just my fucking bitch, and you know that."
"Yeah. You can probably get your dick sucked by whatever bloke you want, and
yeah maybe I need you for sex and for dope, but that's all. Sex. Drugs. That's
it. But...I know you have feelings for me and I really don't have feelings for
you. And you know that." and with that the short man walked out of the
building, slamming the door behind him, not giving Chris any time to respond.
He knew he'd probably regret saying that soon, but at that moment he really
really didn't. He wanted to scream. The cold air hit him like a brick in the
face.

Chapter Notes
See the end of the chapter for notes
Brian rushed into his flat like a storm. He almost believed smoke was coming
out of his head. He was just so goddamn upset. He didn't even know if he meant
what he had said. He said it in the heat of the moment, but some part of him
really believed it. He didn't love Christopher. He hated him. He wanted to spit
in his face. At least that 's how he felt in that moment. He paced around the
room, throwing his keys on the bed but missing, making them land on the floor.
Ha paced and paced, making grunting sounds of frustration. He couldn't even
really tell what he was mad about, or who he was mad at. He just hated the fact
that what Chris had said rang true in his ears. He couldn't deny his words, and
it made him want to scream and tear the world apart. He paused for a moment in
front of the mirror, taking the sight of himself. It felt like his reflection
would burn his brains. He couldn't stand seeing his own stupid face. He hated
himself more than he hated — him. Goddammit. Why did he have to be such a needy
idiot? WHY? Sometimes it felt like being with Chris sucked the life out of him,
he could almost physically feel it, but he just couldn't make himself leave. He
couldn't move from his spot. He felt like a piece of furniture in someone's
life. He stared at himself, his pupils looked bizarrely large. He felt
disgustingly skinny. His bones popped out in weird angles. His black jeans hung
loosely on his hips. He hugged his middle in an attempt to hide himself, but it
was useless. He couldn't disappear. The room was completely silent. He heard
footsteps outside and distant voices. he focused on them, trying to make out
what they were saying, in an attempt to distract himself from his own problems.
Then he heard a different sound. The clatter of keys, very very close. He
walked towards the door, hesitating to open it. He popped his head out, not
fully leaving his flat, and then he saw him. The other blond.
Stefan turned around, sensing someone staring at him. He smiled when he
recognized the short pale figure peeping outside of the room across from his
own place.
"Hello." the swede broke the silence. He stared at Brian like you'd stare at an
artwork in a museum. Brian remained silent, a forced smile spread across his
lips. "ugh...you okay?" the younger boy offered. Brian noded, unsure of why he
couldn't speak. "You...you want to talk, or something?" he asked, still staring
at the black-haired. It was strange because Stefan was younger than Brian and
Brian knew about sex and relationships, and he knew nothing about those things,
but something in him felt the need to protect the shorter boy, and he felt
awkward because Brian was older than him.
"ye...yeah." the shorter boy finally spoke. He felt something like a rock in
his throat, and he finally figured out why he could barely get a word out.
Stef knew it was wrong to be thinking about those things when the boy before
him was obviously very upset, but he couldn't help thinking about Brian's lips
on his. And it was crazy because he barely knew him. Brian pressed his lips
together and started at the floor. The swede stood there, not knowing what else
to say or do, and then he heard quiet sniffles coming from the smaller boy.
"Are you crying?" he asked, worried and curious. Because Brian was a mystery to
him. He was intriguing.
"Yeah." the black-haired noded, still staring at the floor. "A little" he
chuckled a sad kind of chuckle. "I'm sorry...You must think I'm pathetic,
right?"
"No. I don't think that." the taller boy replied honestly.
"Okay. A...and I said yes."
"yes what?"
"I do want to talk."
Stef looked at Brian up and down. He was wearing black from head to toe. He
noticed how loose his jeans were on him and how disheveled his hair was. He
noticed his untied shoelaces...and he noticed the patch of skin revealed by his
short shirt.
"I look like shit, I know." it surprised Stef when he heard those words coming
out of Brian's mouth. He wanted to slap himself because he couldn't stop
staring at him.
"No you don't" the swede replied overly serious. "Why do you keep saying those
things about yourself?" and Stefan really wanted to know the answer to that
question. He wanted to know how someone like Brian could feel that way.
"What do you mean? I look horrible. I know so. You're sweet though." the
shorter boy looked up at Stefan, staring at his eyes and then at his hair.
"You're really tall."
"I know." the swede replied. "My hands are huge. Good for piano." he put his
hands in the air, showing them off to the short boy in front of him.
"I hope that's not the only thing that's huge." Brian laughed, an easy smile on
his lips.
"Oh God. You're crazy Brian." Stefan put his hands on his cheeks.
"Are you gonna invite me in, or...?"
"Ye...Yeah. Sure." The swede opened the door, allowing Brian to slip inside.
Once they were both in he closed the door, the thud making him feel hyper-aware
and nervous. He was alone in a bedroom with —him. Brian sat on the mattress,
the old springs making sounds as he shifted finding a comfortable spot.
"Are you gonna tell me why you were crying?" the taller boy asked the black-
haired once he had stopped moving around on the mattress.
"My stupid—Christopher is an idiot. I fucking hate him."
"Of course."
"Are you gonna give me shit because I'm talking to you about my love life?"
Brian asked easily, no apprehension in his tone. "I wouldn't blame you. I hate
having to deal with this shit myself. We can talk about whatever. Something
else." he started biting his nails, his eyes glued to the floor.
"No. I asked you because I want to know what's wrong. I am not going to give
you shit for answering my question."
"In that case...all I have to say is that I don't want to see him today. Or
tomorrow. Or the day after that."
"Why?" he felt dumb asking him that, but he wanted to know.
"I don't know how to explain it really. It's a bit complicated."
"I have ears...and time. I can listen."
"It's really not a matter of time." Brian smiled a sad smile. "It's just really
hard to explain in a way that doesn't make me look like a complete moron." he
looked up and caught Stefan's eyes.
"Well, if you're a moron it wont make me like you any less." The swede bit the
inside of his cheek. He didn't regret saying that though. He wanted Brian to
know.
"Maybe not."
"Try me." he smiled warmly, looking at Brian sitting on his mattress.
"My boyfriend is sleeping with other blokes. And I don't even know why it
bothers me. I can't get far enough away from him." Brian bit his bottom lip,
and it made Stefan want to scream.
"So he IS your boyfriend."
"Not officially. He isn't. We just shag...but it's long-term or whatever."
"Oh." Stefan nodded because he didn't know what else he could do.
"I just need to leave him, y'know? I have to or I'm gonna go crazy." he laughed
nervously.
"well you can...you know that, right?"
"wha...?"
"You can leave him if you want to." the swede offered.
"I don't want to." the black hair pouted, and somehow it made Stefan feel a
little better.
"I see." he laughed. "You say that like you're joking."
"Cause I sort of am, I suppose. I guess this whole thing is a joke. I'm a
joke."
there he goes again.
"You're not, Brian. You're not a joke. I just don't see what you're so bothered
about. Do you really like that guy? You're sort of confusing me on that area."
"He's hot." Brian smiled, laying on the mattress. "Fuck. He's so good at sex."
he squeezed his eyes shut. "I hate myself."
and there it was.
Stefan looked at Brian spread across his bed, his legs dangling loosely. His
hair was a mess and he looked like he'd just been mugged or something...but he
couldn't help thinking that he was the most beautiful man he'd ever seen.
"...so, you're just with him for sex?"
"I'm broke too, angel. I can't afford shit." the black haired opened his eyes
to see Stefan staring at him. "I like it when you stare at me." he chuckled.
"Are you trying to make me feel awkward?" the swede replied with an embarrassed
smile.
"No. I mean it." Brian assured him.
"Well then, you're weird."
"Yup. Figured that out a long time ago." Brian patted a spot on the mattress
offering Stefan to go sit by him. He propped himself up on his elbows, his eyes
glued to the swede as he walked towards the bed and sat next to him.
"You're so young and you're taller and smarter than me." Brian spoke calmly,
like if he were reading from a book. He stared at the swede. His face, his
lips, his eyes. "You're really good looking too."
"So I'm taller and apparently smarter than you...and are you trying to tell me
I'm good looking...and you're not?" he stared back at Brian confused. Was he
really that blind?
"Take the compliment, yeah?" And he was still staring at him.
"You're blind." the swede replied, almost absent-mindedly. He shifted his sight
away from Brian. Staring at the floor, the window, the door. Anything but the
boy before him. So it took him by surprise when he felt Brian's lips pressed on
his. The black-haired cupped his face with hands, and it made Stefan feel so
fucking good. His lips were soft. He could feel the warmth of his hands on his
face. It was just lips to lips. Nothing more. Brian pulled back, his eyes
opened. Stefan looked at him. His eyes seemed sad, the blue overpowering the
green. "What was that?" he wanted to kick himself because maybe that would feel
Brian feel awkward, and he really didn't want that to happen.
"When I see a pretty boy I really like, I want to kiss him." the shorter boy
replied.
"Right." the swede smiled. "You say you like me, and I don't know what you
mean."
"Well mister, if you say I'm blind I say you're deaf. I think you're pretty,
and I think you're nice."
"You keep using that word."
"pretty? hot is too vulgar."
"is it? Stefan asked unconvinced.
'"it is too me. sort of I suppose. Plus you're too young." Brian laughed.
"You also keep saying that" the swede shifted his feet awkwardly.
"You are. And I sort of wish you weren't."
"Why is that?"
"I wouldn't feel guilty kissing you."
And Stefan had to laugh because he just couldn't believe what he'd heard. Was
Stefan Olsdal really capable of making this Brian creature feel guilty? He'd
take that as a badge of honor. "You feel guilty for kissing me?" he asked with
a grin. He just couldn't conceal it.
"Yeah. I fucking do. I feel like...I just feel really bad about it. You're
fifteen."
"Brian, you're only nineteen, okay? It's fine."
"bu...but. You're so pure." and if Brian hadn't said that with the most honest
tone Stefan had ever heard, he'd take it as an insult and a blow to his pride.
"And you don't want to be the one to corrupt me, is that it?" the swede replied
with a smile.
"sort of, I guess." and now Brian was the one shifting awkwardly on the
mattress. "I didn't make you feel uncomfortable, right?"
"When I see a pretty boy I really like, I silently wish he'd get real close to
my face and press his lips against mine." Stefan replied, a smile on his lips
and a hand on Brian's thigh.
"That's a no, right?"
"Yeah."

Chapter Notes
See the end of the chapter for notes
It didn't really occur to Stefan that Brian would end up sleeping in his bed.
He'd been talking to him about music and guitars and songs he'd written. The
smaller boy had been listening intently, nodding and adding remarks here and
there, but somewhere along the line he'd fallen asleep. So he found himself
noticing how Brian's chest rose and fell as he breathed. He looked so frail.
Almost like he'd break. He sat on the floor next to the mattress, giving the
black-haired a closer look. His face had small pimples all over and Stefan
thought they looked almost endearing. He was really pale. In a sickly way. His
eyelashes were mascara-inked and his eyelids had some sort of purple-gray
smeared on them. It was odd—the way the older boy looked. He felt somewhat
starstruck. It was strange to see him up close. He was so human. He had pimples
and dark circles and cheap eyeshadow. Stefan pulled one of his bags next to
him, digging inside, shifting papers from one place to the other trying to find
the piece he was searching for. He picked up the piece once he found it,
staring at the chords that he'd quickly jotted down not so long ago. He only
wrote music, he felt like he was no good at explaining what he felt with words.
He had dozens of pieces of paper with random chords noted in them. Never
finished, always just a thought in the air. Almost like his life. Never
fulfilled, just a thought in the air. He quickly hid the paper away when he
felt Brian shift his legs from above.
"Wha...what was that?" the black-haired asked, sleep lingering on his lips. He
smiled warmly.
"Nothing really. Just some...something I wrote some months back." He didn't
want Brian to see, but he also didn't want to lie. He kept his eyes glued to
the carpet.
"Let me see." Brian shot back, his smile growing.
"No words, just music." the swede hesitantly handed the paper to Brian.
"if you don't want me to, I don't have to see it." he offered back, the paper
still on his hands.
"No, go ahead. It's not like they're lyrics or something you can judge me
over." the younger boy replied with a smile, feeling slightly less
apprehensive.
"I wouldn't though." He glanced at the paper concentrating on its scribbles.
Stefan grew tense as Brian studied the sheet. "I bet this sounds awesome!" the
black-haired beamed. It's a shame you don't put words to your work.
"ah...you can...you can read music? like, well enough to read that?" the swede
asked honestly amazed.
"I know I look like a bimbo, but I'm not." Brian replied still smiling. "Let me
write lyrics for this."
"You...what?" Stefan felt like he was being fooled. Why would someone willingly
write lyrics for his music? "It isn't finished, actually."
"We can finish it together. I play guitar, remember?" the black-haired smiled
shyly. He glanced down at the sheet still between his fingers.
"ugh...ye—ah. I remember that. you mentioned it. but I left my guitar back
home, and you don't have one."
"When there's a will there's a way, y'know."
The swede nodded but he felt stupid. He felt like Brian was lying to him, or
just offering that to make him feel less awkward and pathetic. "You sure?" he
asked, snapping out of his thoughts.
"Of course. I haven't played in a while. I write phrases that come to my mind.
Not really songs, not really lyrics. Just sort of—thoughts, I suppose." and
Brian felt sad as he said that. Like he was looking into a murky reflection of
himself. The image barely visible. Like a distant memory lost in his mind.
"Okay then. I want you to write lyrics for that. But now you can't back down,
deal?" the swede looked at Brian, the smaller boy was dangling his legs like a
child, and for a moment he felt like he'd known him for a very long time. It
was weird because something about Brian felt threatening. Dangerous. But in
that moment he didn't feel that way. It almost felt like in a parallel universe
they'd be friends and they'd write songs together.
"Fine. Deal." Brian offered his hand to Stefan, a huge smile spread from cheek
to cheek. The swede reluctantly shook his small hand, but to Brian any
handshake would suffice. "It's a sad song. I can tell by the chords."
"Yeah. Sort of, I suppose."
"There's this guy. He has guitars over at his place. Bass and everything." the
small boy chewed his nails between phrases. "We should go."
"What do you mean?...is he going to lend them to us?"
"Not exactly. We're going to...borrow them." Brian smirked, his eyes fixed on
Stefan's.
"Isn't that the same thing? Or...are you implying that we should break into
that bloke's house and steal his guitars?" the taller boy felt irritated.
"Um, no. I'm suggesting you help me get my payback."
"What?"
"That asshole slept with my boyfriend."
"Now he's your boyfriend? You've been avoiding calling him that." Stefan
couldn't help but feel a tinge of jealousy. Okay, maybe it was more than a
tinge.
"Ugh, whatever. You know who I'm talking about anyway. It's only fair, you
can't deny that."
"Yes I can, because what does him shagging your boyfriend have to do with his
guitars?" and Stefan truly was confused about this. He couldn't quite grasp
Brian's way of thinking.
"Just please. Do this for me. Please. It'll be two birds with one stone. We
need those guitars anyways, and we're broke as hell." That was true. They were
both broke as hell, and Stefan really wanted to work on his songs with Brian,
no matter how much he tried to push that thought to the back of his mind.
"Fine."
"Yeah?"
"Yes. But we have to do this right. No getting caught. I mean it Brian." and
the smaller boy hid his smile with one hand. "Your payback will have to be the
plain satisfaction of knowing you stole them from him. Because that's what
we're doing. We're stealing from that bloke." He stared at Brian as if he were
speaking to a child.
"He stole from me first." the black-haired mumbled. The swede could only laugh
at that remark.
"You're insane. What did he steal from you exactly? Explain that to me."
"Christopher's cock."
"You serious?"
"YES. I am. And that's my last word about that." The smaller boy stared down at
the floor, still chewing on his nails.

The next day was all about carton boxes, papers and cup-noodles. Stefan sat in
the middle of his room, papers scattered all around him, boxes covering every
inch of his bed. He was sorting through all the papers he had brought with him.
Photographs, pieces of songs he'd been working on back in Sweden. He had three
cups of ramen noodles spread in front of him, two empty and one half full. He
opened and closed his eyes, feeling tired from reading over so many papers. He
sipped a spoon-full of warm soup, savoring the flavor before swallowing...then
he heard a knock on the door. He groaned knowing exactly who it was and what it
meant. It was Merkel, and he would no longer have the flat to himself. He
hesitantly walked to the door and stood in front of it for a few seconds before
opening it. A fake smile spread across his face.
"Merkel!" the swede shouted, trying to sound as enthusiastic as he could.
Merkel was a beautiful boy. His eyes were hazel and his hair was a tone of ashy
brown. His skin was pale but had a rosy tone to it, small freckles colored his
face. He was nineteen too, like Brian...only he actually looked his age.
"Stefan! Long time mate. You look great." the older boy smiled warmly, and
Stefan could tell he was genuinely happy to see him again.
"Just tell me my parents didn't send you to baby me."
"No! I wanted to see you. Really. Plus London had been calling for me, I
couldn't resist." It amazed Stefan how long Merkel could hold his smile.
"Yeah?" he let Merkel in and closed the door behind them. "How so?"
"I got accepted into the University of Arts." he was nearly beaming.
"Wow." and Stefan was truly amazed.
"Yeah! I'm excited. It'll help me a lot to split rent with you. It's nice
having you around too."
"Thanks." the younger boy replied awkwardly. "Nice having you around as well."
God he was such an idiot. He couldn't have made that sound any less genuine if
he tried. Merkel just kept smiling and nodded.
'You're still in secondary?"
"I'm done with school. I mean...I quit." the younger boy looked down at the
floor, half ashamed and half proud. A rebellious pride. A stupid pride.
"Oh?" Merkel fell silent. "It's alright. You're smart, I'm sure you'll find a
way to turn your life into something worthwhile one way or the other. You were
destined for greatness, my man!" He wasn't sure if Merkel's optimism irritated
him or not, but he just smiled and nodded as he felt half dead inside.
"Yeah. It'll work out."

Brian wanted to kill himself. He was never really sure how much he actually
meant it when he told Chris that he wanted to shoot himself in the head. The
blond never seemed to take it seriously, so he assumed he didn't sound serious.
Also he didn't have a gun. The afternoon was cold and Brian cursed under his
breath as he walked outside. There was a cafe a few blocks from his place and
whenever he felt like staying in his flat would only cause him to trash the
place, he'd walk to it regardless of how cold it was or if it was raining. He'd
order himself a cup of coffee. Black. Because he hated black coffee and
drinking it gave him something else to curse about instead of his own pathetic
existence. He sat on a chair, with one leg over the other...his coffee cup in
one hand. He made a face at the bitterness of the drink and stared outside the
window. There was a couple walking by. A boy and a girl. Hand in hand, and he
also made a face at that. He waited and waited, saw more people pass by, had
another cup of coffee. Black. And then he stood up and walked out. The wind was
brutal. It hit his face like a million slaps. It blew in one direction then the
other. He cupped his hands together blowing warm air into them to warm himself
up. He was wearing a beanie with a fury ball on top to keep his hair from
saying from one way to the other. He could never figure out why he always felt
like he wanted to kill someone. He felt irritated in such an extreme way. It
clouded his perception and he couldn't think straight. He was thinking about
this when he walked next to the donut shop nearby and spotted the younger blond
inside. A broom in his hand and a face of complete exhaustion. He bit back a
grin, not really knowing why as there was nobody there to see him smile at the
sight of the swede. Without a second thought he walked towards the shop,
opening the door and making the little bell ring.
"Welcome!" the same cheery girl with pigtails smiled at Brian. The shorter boy
ignored her walking directly towards the blond who was staring at the opposite
direction.
"Steffy." Brian shrieked. A smile plastered on his face. Stefan turned around
recognizing the voice at once. He smiled upon seeing the pale creature in front
of him, cheeks pink from the cold.
"What are you doing here?" the younger boy questioned, unsure of what he was
feeling. It was ridiculous how attracted he was to Brian. Every time he was
near him he couldn't think straight. No matter how hard he tried to concentrate
on something else besides his lips or his eyes.
"Came in for donuts." he lied, and the swede knew it, but he played along.
"Yeah?" he was still smiling and he wanted to slap himself across the face,
knock the stupid out of his system.
"No." And Stefan was surprised, because he was betting the smaller boy would
play along longer, but he sounded like he was about to spill the truth.
"I saw you through the window. I'm actually on a murder spree, want to
volunteer?" the black-haired offered smiling. The swede was unimpressed, hoping
for something better than that.
"You want to come work with me?" Brian finally spilled out what he came to ask
in the first place. Smile gone. He bit his bottom lip nervously, eyeing the
blond carefully.
"Makeup?" the younger boy asked, smile spreading across his face again.
Brian chuckled at his enthusiasm, relieved that he took it that way. "Yeah." he
offered warmly. "Makeup. I can teach you." The blond considered his offer for a
few seconds, seemingly thoughtful.
"Okay."

When Brian got home that night he was happier than he'd felt in ages. His life
was still crap he still didn't care much about anything, but knowing that he'd
be hanging out with Stef more often made him feel almost excited. And honestly
he felt stupid about it. The kid was fifteen, and he was excited about spending
time with him, could he really get any more pathetic than that? He smiled
embarrassed at the thought, making his way past the door, his eyes glued to the
inside of his tote as he shuffled the contents around looking for his box of
cigarettes when he suddenly heard his voice.
"Are we okay?" was the first thing that came out of Christopher's mouth, Brian
looked up surprised by the blond's presence.
" Ah, yeah. Sure." the black-haired kicked the door close behind him with his
foot, eyeing his cigarette as he held up the lighter to lit it. He plopped down
on the bed, slouching as soon as he settled down.
"That's it?" Christopher asked confused, not understanding why Brian was acting
as if nothing had happened.
"Yeah. What? You want us to fight again?" the smaller boy looked up from his
spot on the bed, the blond towering over him even more than he did when they
were both standing. "Though I'd never see your ass again."
"I pay rent. It's my place."
"Well, I'm sure you have other places besides this one. Plus, I buy you food."
"You don't cook for me." the blond tried joking, smiling awkwardly.
"I know how to cook, we just don't have a stove. Plus I'm not your wife." Brian
shot back, not wanting to give in to Christopher's games. "You're in a good
mood, why is that?"
"I'm with you. That's enough of a reason. I missed you."
"Should I take that as a compliment? Am I really that good in bed?" Brian
challenged with annoyance, looking up as he blew smoke through his mouth.
Christopher walked towards Brian who was still sitting down on the bed
slouching and looking like an pestered child. He took the cigarette from the
smaller boy taking a drag before he stubbed it out.
Brian looked at him anticipatory. Hopeful? Dreadful? A mix of so many fucked up
emotions. He felt the blond push him hard against the mattress and he almost
wanted to kick him off and run out of the room, but it felt so good. Something
lurched in his stomach every time Christopher got close enough to him that he
could feel his breaths against his cheeks. He wanted to punch him in his stupid
face, he wanted him to scrape the pain away. A powdery itching irritating pain
that seemingly came from nowhere in particular. Faceless and nameless.
"Is that all you ever think about?" Christopher asked, his eyes glued to
Brian's as he pinned him to the bed.
"Are you insulting me again?" the black-haired replied with a grin, fighting
off Chris' grip on his wrists. If his brain could barf it would. He was mad at
him, he thought Christopher was a jerk, why was he smiling and leading him on?
He bit the inside of his cheek to stop his lips from falling into a bitter
scowl.
"It isn't an insult. It's the truth." the blond replied with a grin of his own.
"Get off." Brian shot, feeling something like a rock sink into his chest. Hurt,
or maybe just pride. The wires in his brains too tangled to help him understand
who he was truly upset at. He kicked him lightly in the stomach with his knee,
pushing him off and pulling himself up from the bed. He picked up his keys from
where they'd landed on the floor and took his jacket from the bed. "Thanks but
no thanks." he said as he walked towards the door, opening it for a only a few
seconds before Chris pushed it back closed.
"Are you still mad about last time? That was two days ago..." he reasoned,
locking Brian against the door and between his arms. "If anything I should be
fucking upset. You basically admitted you're using me. Doesn't that make you a
whore?"
Brian let out a sigh, looking up from between Chris and the wood of the door.
"Jesus fuck. Let me go."
"Do you really want to go?" the blond whispered against his ear. "I don't think
you do."
And Brian kissed him because he didn't know what else he could do. He was at a
loss. Christopher was right. He didn't want to go. He wanted to be right here
with him just as they were. He pushed his lips against the taller man's, their
tongues clashing in frustration and need. Christopher held him by the hips,
pushing him harder against the door. He fumbled with his belt, unbuckling and
slipping it off. Their lips separated and their eyes met for a few seconds.
Christopher held Brian's hands behind his back, tying them together with his
belt. Their shaky breaths intertwining and their eyes locking.
"Tighter" Brian gasped, briefly closing his eyes. Christopher pulled the
leather belt tighter around his small wrists. The younger boy let out a shriek
of pain, rolling back his head. The blond leaned closer towards him, pushing
himself against his body. The bulge in his jeans pressing against Brian's
hardening cock. His breaths tickling his neck. He leaned even closer, pressing
harsh kisses against the pale skin of his neck, sliding his hands from his
shoulders to his hips keeping him in place.
"It's not true." the smaller boy let escape from his lips between gasps. "What
I said...about not having feelings for you." His voice agitated but weak.
"I know" Christopher replied, his lips still brushing against Brian's neck,
curling into a grin.
"Loo..look at me..." the words felt almost alien as they escaped his mouth.
"please." The blond hesitantly withdrew, taking a step back to put some space
between them. The sound of their agitated breaths intensified by the contrast
of the quiet in the room. Christopher looked Brian in the face, but the smaller
boy could only look down to the carpet.
"I'm looking at you. Shit, just say it." there was a bitter tone to his words.
He almost sounded resentful. Brian raised his gaze slowly, dreading having to
stare the man in front of him in the face. Their eyes finally met, and he
almost felt embarrased for feeling so troubled about having sex with the man
he'd been sleeping with for years. No, he didn't almost feel embarrased—he
certainly did. He took in the sight of his pale crease-less skin, his blue
eyes, his messy hair. He was beautiful. He remembered he had told Stefan that
he thought otherwise, but now as he stood in front of him, he really did think
he was beautiful. He stood there dumbfounded. Unable to find the right words to
say whatever it was his brain wanted to so badly spit out. He just wanted to
silence all the doubts. Kill all the voices that told him to leave him. This is
what he knew and this is where he'd stay. He loved him, didn't he? It seemed so
at times, and then he convinced himself otherwise. Why wasn't there a hammer so
he could just smack his brains dead?
"...I want you to fuck me." it came out almost mechanically. Like a rehearsed
phrase. He told himself that he said it because he knew that it was what
Christopher wanted to hear, but that wasn't true. It was another one of the
stupid lies he tried to feed himself. He said it because he wanted to hear
those words coming out of his own mouth. He wanted...needed to believe that it
was truly what he wanted. "please." it came out almost in a whimper. The taller
man pushed him against the wood of the wall, pressing their lips together. The
blond devoured at Brian's mouth, the smaller boy allowing him to bite as he
pleased. He felt Christopher cupping his cock through the fabric of his jeans,
teasing his erection. He let out a gasp, tilting his head up and closing his
eyes. His hands were sore from being held together by the belt. He ached for
release but couldn't touch himself. He bucked his hips forward towards Chris,
little pants escaping his mouth.
"I want you to say that you're mine." the taller boy rasped. "I need to hear
you say it." He unzipped the smaller boy's jeans, reaching under his underwear
for his cock.
"Fuck" Brian leaned forward and collapsed his head on Chris' shoulder.
"say it." the blond challenged. His voice steady.
"I...I'm yours." he let out in shaky breaths. He felt Chris' hand against his
cock, rubbing up and down slowly. His blood feeling hot under his skin. He bit
down on Chris' collarbone instinctively, melting into the pleasure. His mind
felt liquid, he felt like he'd been holding his breath for years.
Suddenly he felt the taller man back off and away from him. His little moans of
protest not making him feel embarrased at all.
"You're torturing me." he let out. His voice cracking a little.
"Well isn't that what you like?" the blond looked at Brian intently. His hair
near perfect. Only dark circles under his eyes interrupting his pale skin. The
shorter boy bit his lip, turning his gaze down towards the floor. Chris stepped
forward, taking Brian by the hand and leading him to the bed. He pushed him by
the shoulders, causing his knees to give in, bending and making him stumble
back towards the bed. He landed awkwardly on the mattress. Half sitting half
laying. Christopher eyes him carefully. Brian's eyes glued to his. A weird
magnetism. "I want you to touch yourself..." He leaned forward, reaching for
the belt wrapped around Brian's wrists. "I want to see you." he slid it off,
throwing it carelessly on the floor. The smaller boy gripped his own cock,
settling better on the bed and parting his legs slightly. He rubbed himself
slowly at first until he reached a steady rhythm. There was something about
this that made him feel dirty. Out of all the things they did together, it was
difficult for him to touch himself like this, knowing that he was being
watched. He almost felt guilty. His eyes closed and his lips parted. His pace
quickened as he felt himself on the edge. He tried really hard to stifle the
moans that threatened to escape his lips. He was so fucking close. A hand
pulled at his arm suddenly, waking him up from his frenzy. He opened his eyes
to meet Christopher's blue pools.
"I was so fucking close." the smaller boy protested. His words shaky and his
breaths agitated.
"I know. That's why I stopped you." the blond responded mechanically. His eyes
expressionless and cold. He retrieved the belt from the floor, placing it on
the bed beside Brian. The smaller boy eyed him suspiciously. "You're awfully
over-dressed." he continued, kneeling down to pull Brian's jeans and underwear
off. He hurridly pulled down his own trousers and underwear all the same,
exposing his erection. The smaller boy remained still on the bed, his fists
clinging to the sheets.
"Say it again...say that you want me to fuck you."
Brian bit his lip annoyed. Why did he always have to play these mind-control
games? Why why why? "Fuck...I do. I want you."
"Finish it..." the blond challenged. Eyeing him from above.
"I want you to fuck me..." he spilled out hesitantly. Annoyed at himself.
Fucking hell he felt so pathetic. Christopher walked closer, grabbing Brian my
one arm and flipping him over, belly-down.
"You are so beautiful." He dug his nails into Brian's small shoulder, drawing a
whimper from his mouth. He opened a drawer from the nightstand, pulling out a
bottle lube. It was almost routine-like, Brian thought as he layed there
motionless. The same clattering noises coming out of the drawer, the same slick
sound of the lube. Almost monotone. But ohfuckinghell. None of that mattered
when he felt Christopher's length tease his hole, ripping him apart. He melted
into the familiar sensation of being completely used. A familiarity he
cherished. Like a pain you've become accustomed to. He clenched his fists
around the sheets, as Christopher's cock inched further inside him. The pace
quickening and he almost surprised himself when he heard the please and moans
coming out of his mouth.
"That's it. Ask for it like a bitch." the blond rasped in shaky breaths. His
even tone shattered.
"Oh God." Brian was a mess. Strands of hair sticking to his sweaty neck and
forehead. He was completely overtaken by pleasure so it startled him when he
felt the leather of the beld hit against his right cheek. "Shit" he winced. His
eyes shut tightly. "please. Oh God. Do that again." The belt hit against his
cheek again, a thick red streak staining the pale skin. His moans becoming
increasingly difficult to control. The sensation of the belt mercilessly
hitting against his skin and Chris' cock tearing him open completely shattering
his control. He felt the blond grip his cock from under his body. He shifted
awkwardly to give him room to get a hold of him better. He felt Chris' pace
quicken right before he felt his come inside his hole. The blond's hand working
on Brian's cock faster, until the black-haired came into his hand. The smaller
boy collapsed into the mattress, feeling empty. The warmth from the taller boy
lifting away from his body making him shiver. He propped himself up, his gaze
searching for Chris. The blond stood in the middle of the room, picking up his
clothes from the floor. Brian snapped out of his dream-like state and followed
suit, picking up his clothes from the floor. It was so awkward. Like two
teenagers having sex for the first time. Too embarrassed to see each other in
the eye. Well, that was how Brian felt. He had now way of really knowing what
the other man was feeling. It had become odd, especially recently. He eyed the
taller man looking at the direction of the shower and he sprinted past him,
beating him to it. He shut the door behind him. A little more of a slam.
