Why this must be read: SM is one of the most excellent AU writers I've had the pleasure of reading. Her characterization is brilliant and the dialogue is very realistic.

Brian is out for revenge. Only he doesn't realize that he may get more then he bargained for.

Brian felt an unwelcome twinge of…respect for the boy. He quashed it down and reached under the pillow for his surprise. Keeping the small box under his palm, he feigned indignation. "Then what the f**k have I been doing all this time? Risking my career to be with you, probably risking my LIFE if your a$$hole father finds out you’re gay and I’m f**king you before you graduate. I let you into my son’s life, Justin. If you think I do that with just anyone, then I guess we’re not ready for this." He lifted the velvet Jeweler’s box and studied it. "I knew this wasn’t a good idea. You need more time, Justin. You’re too young to make a commitment like this."

"No," the boy cried. "I love you!" He threw his arms around Brian’s neck. "That’ll never change, I swear."
