Heya! I'm Jaymalea and I'll be your guide for the month of March. For my first rec, we'll visit Severina, and a First Season look at Valentine's Day, Brian and Justin style.
Why this must be read: Building a relationship is never easy, and for Brian and Justin it is even less so. This story encompasses the dichotomy of anxiety and uncertainty that overlays their relationship, and the instinctive connection and understanding of each other that underlies it.
It illustrates concessions that they each make consciously and unconsciously in order to accommodate the other. All while maintaining the humor we see in the show and while staying true to the characterizations.
Justin POV: "I know that if I keep trying, keep struggling, be more persistent...I’ll be able to illustrate another facet of Brian. A sketch that will show the Brian that holds me in his arms when I have a bad dream, and kisses me on the ear, and tells me that he won't let me go. The Brian that said he'd always be there to protect me. The Brian that listens to me bitch about school, and then shares his own worries about Michael... or Lindsay... or his latest client. The Brian that is already investing for Gus's college fund. The Brian that loves and needs and hurts and feels and cares."
Brian POV: " “Pittsburgh Hilton, Annabelle speaking. May I help you?”
“Why yes, Annabelle, you can,” I sneer. Nobody can beat Brian Kinney's sneer. Back off on the sweetness and light, babe, ‘cause I'm not buying.
And my stomach hurts because I just did fifty fucking crunches before the treadmill, and not for any other reason. Shit.
“Sir?”
Little fucker.
“I'd like to cancel the reservation I made for tomorrow night.” "
