I'm shocked to see that I haven't commented on this chapter yet.
Anyway right off the bat I love Jon. Especially when you can see that he's not only perfect, but has such great insight: “You can’t really blame him for something that happened before he met you.”
And Justin's reaction is spot on: I like him, I mean, really like him. Join the club, blondie! He's a real winner. Although, he's no Brian. No matter how you slice it. I could see why Justin has been with him more than once. He's affectionate, but not clingy. And yes, sometimes you do get fragile and need to hear the niceties: It was nice to be wanted and cherished by someone, who says, ‘you’re beautiful’ during a fuck, not ‘I’m gonna fuck you until you can’t sit down for a week’. Although, in Brian's defense, the fact that he's putting in the effort to make it the best fuck possible, means that he cares about you more than anyone else. ;)
The point is, Justin is not waiting around, or being in an abusive relationship. He's living his life --admittedly tricking, certainly carrying on with Jon-- while reading between the lines with Brian and his extremely dysfunctional ideas about life and love. He's just discouraged because so much is hitting him at once. Usually he builds up his security in between situations with Brian. So he's on shaky ground and doesn't know how to deal. He's a bit vulnerable and needy right now.
We’re lying on the bed after round two and he moves onto his side, with his head propped up on his hand so he can look at me. His other hand moves over my body until he’s stroking my cock.
“So, how big is his dick?” LOL I love that Brian is so insecure that he has to wait until after ROUND TWO before he can ask Justin about Jon. He thinks so little of what he has to offer someone like Justin, that he needs to solidify his place in pleasuring him to the max before bridging such a shaky subject. And, of course, instead of asking if Justin really likes this guy, he measures it all up to the sex. *sigh* When will you truly feel that you are 'enough' for anyone Brian?
I'm so glad you used the Art Show moment. You always seem to pick out my favorite moments in the series: “Why the fuck would you care what I think? It wouldn’t make it better or make you richer, if I liked it.”
He puts his arm around my shoulders, pulling me closer and kissing my temple. I can smell the alcohol on him.
“It’s exquisite,” he says emphatically and I know that he means it. *draws hearts and flowers around their love!*
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! Brian is insecure about being in this "art crowd", especially with Jon -- the 'competition'-- right there. So of course he'll give a flippant remark. But I adore that he can't disappoint Justin, and has to really comment. He gives him two words that make the world all better, and solidifies Brian in Justin's heart so soundly. And all Brian did was tell the truth. It means so much more coming from him than any art 'critic'.
