Very nicely done - not sure if I had read this before, but it didn't sound familiar. I think you did a great job of trying to get inside Brian's head. The way he cradled Justin to him as he held him in his arms was clearly indicative of what a big lie he was trying to tell himself - and Justin - when he said he wouldn't think about him. Of course, we all found out how much of a lie that was in the next episode. Thanks for sharing.:) *Hugs*
