Thanks to Wendy, Jenn and Lois!

Sunday Afternoon Delights:
BREAKFAST IS SERVED
by Irina & PIG

Brian pulled the Jeep into the driveway and turned off the ignition. Looking out the window, he wondered for the millionth time that day what the hell he was doing. Unbeknownst to him, he had somehow been talked into *this,* and before he knew what he was agreeing to, he was in the Jeep driving across town.

"Would you stop looking like you're going to an execution," he heard Justin say from the passenger seat.

Turning to his lover, he saw Justin unbuckle his seatbelt and open the door.

"It is. Mine," Brian replied, scowling at his boyfriend's grin.

Justin rolled his eyes and climbed out of the Jeep, but Brian seemed to be glued to his seat. He wondered if he could just leave. Justin would surely make up some excuse for his absence and in time, the blond would learn to forgive him for running like a twelve-year-old girl.

But when the front door of the house opened revealing a blond-haired woman, the ad exec realized that his options had just become limited. He now had only one: Get out of the car and join his lover for brunch… with his mother.

Grinning happily and waving at his mother, Justin said through his teeth, "Smile, Brian."

He waited for Brian to get out of the jeep before entwining his fingers with his boyfriend’s.

Keeping his gaze on his mother, Justin added, "Get through today on your best behaviour and I'll make it up to you tonight."

Brian took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. As ordered, he spread his mouth into a smile as they reached the doorstep.

"Hi, honey," Jennifer smiled, throwing her arms around Justin.

Brian let go of Justin's hand, stood to the side and watched the mother and son reunion. The way Jennifer was behaving, it was as if she hadn't seen Justin in months… maybe years, which couldn't have been further from the truth. Justin's relationship with his mother only improved with time.

Finally letting go of Justin, Jennifer cast her gaze on the brunet.

"Hello, Brian," she said in that polite way that sometimes made Brian want to scream at the top of his lungs. It was the same way Lindsay always talked to him when she wanted something.

"Jennifer," he replied, slightly nodding his head.

"It's a beautiful day, isn't it?" she asked, opening the door wider as the two of them walked inside.

"It sure is," Brian replied, smirking when it was obvious that his sarcasm was lost on the woman.

It wasn't, however, the case with Justin, who glared at the ad exec over his shoulder before following his mother up the stairs and into the kitchen.

“What smells so good?" Justin asked, his nose picking up the various scents in the kitchen.

He tried to move the cover off a pan on the stove and immediately felt a sting on his hand.

"Put that down, honey," Jenn scolded.

Justin grinned. "Bad habit, I guess."

He looked at Brian who was glancing around the room, the expression of boredom obvious on his face.

"Brian and I got you something," Justin said in an attempt to start up conversation between his mother and his partner.

"Really?" Jennifer asked incredulously, curiousity evident in her voice as she gazed at Brian.

The brunet managed a twist of the lips bearing more resemblance to a grimace than a smile.

"What's that, sweetheart?"

Jennifer turned back to her son.

It was only then Justin noticed that both he and Brian had walked into the house empty handed - a trait they were both known for, at least according to Deb and their friends. But really, it wasn’t their fault their minds were on more important things… like each other.

At least this time, Justin had remembered his manners.

"Brian and I were so excited to come up, we left it in the car," Justin explained, tossing Brian a wicked look. "I'm gonna go get it. I'll be right back."

He ignored Brian's incredulous look and smiled right in his lover's face as he strolled down the steps.

Blowing out a puff of air, Brian sat down in the chair closest to him. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Jennifer was leaning against the counter, watching him closely, expecting him to say something.

The problem was he had absolutely no idea what one would talk about

with the woman whose son one was fucking on regular basis. Lightly tapping his fingers on the top of the table, Brian looked everywhere but at the woman.

"So..."

Brian looked up at the sound of her voice.

"So..." he repeated.

While his and Jennifer's relationship had moved into the one where the word hate wasn't involved, at least not as often, not surprisingly it was far from being friendly. After all, he was the man who had seduced her son, and she was the woman who had blamed him for almost getting her son killed.

Those things just didn't dissolve with time. They were always there, hanging over their heads like an enormous Good Year blimp, threatening to burst and fall, covering them all. But Brian had every intention of keeping the blimp up in the air for as long as he could. That was the reason why he agreed to this ridiculous outing - brunch with Jennifer.

"I wonder what's taking Justin so long," Jennifer said.

"Well, it is a big Jeep," he replied, wondering the same thing. If he didn't know any better, he would have thought that the little twat was taking his sweet time on purpose.

Outside, Justin lit a cigarette. He was purposely giving the two most important people in his life a chance to talk... to realize how much they had in common... even if that was *Justin* and *him* only.

Back inside, it had become painfully obvious to Brian that his very caring lover had decided that for some godforsaken reason Brian and Jennifer needed to bond. And while doing bonding of any sort with any woman, especially the one that bore the same DNA as his boyfriend, was not at the top of Brian’s list, he realized that Justin needed for the two of them to make peace. What the young artist didn’t seem to realize though, was that it would never be possible. The two of them had learned to accept each other, even to tolerate each other. But could they be friends? Get along? That would never happen.

Nevertheless, Brian found himself leaning back in the chair and finally gazing up at Jennifer, who was putting things on the table.

“You need help with that?” he asked, pointing to the food in her hands when she gave him the confused look.

Jennifer stared at him for a moment and then smiled. They had both been set up and knew it. All they could do now was make the best of it.

“Sure,” the woman replied.

Brian stood up and walked over to her, taking the big platter of French toast and putting it down on the table.

Meanwhile, Justin was now trying to blow smoke rings outside. Damn Brian for being good at everything! He looked at his watch and decided that he'd give them another five minutes before he went in and saved them both.

“Justin tells me you’ve been traveling a lot on business lately,” Jennifer said, placing the pitcher of orange juice in the middle of the table.

“Yeah.”

Brian straightened up, hands crossed on his chest, expecting a lecture about abandoning his boyfriend. To his surprise the woman just smiled.

“It sounds wonderful. I always wanted to travel,” she said wistfully.

“It was sort of a childhood dream of mine.”

“Instead you got married right out of college to the biggest homophobic asshole who divorced you because you bore him a queer son,” Brian wanted to say.

He didn’t think it would be a good idea to bring that up during their *bonding time,* so, he just bit his tongue and nodded, letting out a sigh of relief when he finally heard the door open and close, loud footsteps coming up the stairs.

"Sorry I took so long," Justin said, smiling innocently at Brian.

"These are for you, Mom." He handed her a bouquet of flowers. "Brian picked them out," he added, ignoring Brian's surprised expression. "And *this* is for dessert."

He placed a box on the table. "Your favourite."

Jenn smiled into the flowers. "Oh, honey, these are beautiful."

She kissed Justin on the cheek and after hesitating, leaned up to plant a quick kiss on Brian's cheek as well.

Brian’s eyebrows glided up his forehead in surprise.

“Why don’t you boys go wash up,” Jennifer suggested. “And Justin, get your sister, would you please?”

"Sure, Mom," Justin said, entwining his fingers with Brian.

As the two of them walked up the stairs to the bathroom, Justin couldn't resist leaning against his boyfriend. At the top of the stairs, Justin stopped Brian.

"You don't know how much this means to me, Brian," Justin admitted softly, his eyes lowered shyly.

He felt Brian's arms go around him and gave into the urge. Looking up, he locked lips with his boyfriend. Unfortunately, the kiss didn't last very long.

"Ewww! Mom, Justin and his *boyfriend* are making out upstairs!" Molly singsonged.

Justin turned to his little sister reluctantly.

"Why don't you curl up and die," he sneered.

She stuck her tongue out at him while her blue eyes locked with Brian's.

"What happened to the other one?" she asked curiously. "The one at your school... Mom said she liked him best."

Justin gritted his teeth and moved out of Brian's arms. He made a move to grab his brat of a sister, but she screamed, "Mom! Justin's being mean!" and ran down the stairs.

"You're going to get it, Molly!" Justin shouted back.

Looking at Brian, he was amazed to find the other man grinning.

Justin groaned.

"Not a word, Brian," Justin demanded.

He stomped off into the direction of the bathroom.

Brian swiped at his mouth with the back of his hand, trying not to laugh, but the sight before him only made him laugh harder.

“Most mature person I know, huh?” he asked as he walked up behind Justin, pressing him against the sink.

Justin glared at him through the mirror, which Brian ignored completely, lowering his head to nuzzle Justin’s neck.

“So, Jennifer met Ethan. That must have been interesting,” he said in between wet kisses that led from the bottom of Justin’s neck up to his earlobe.

“Did she drop on her knees and thank Jesus for finally getting her baby boy out of my dirty, pervert hands?”

Justin snorted. "Not funny, Brian."

He moved his neck to give Brian better access.

"It's not your fault you do better with people half your age," Justin teased.

Brian’s mouth opened in shock.

“Twelve years, Justin, twelve years,” he said slowly. “If you were half my age you’d be like ten.”

He narrowed his eyes, tongue in cheek. “Which you actually are.”

Justin grinned mischievously, turning around to wrap his arms around Brian's waist. Arching his back, so he could gaze up into his lover's eyes, Justin ground his cock against the front of Brian's pants, heard the intake of breath and innocently asked, "I guess you like fucking 10-year-olds then?"

Slipping his fingers into the back of Brian's jeans, which was no easy feat, Justin added teasingly, "Considering that you tell me all the time that I'm the best fuck you've ever had."

Brian moaned. "You realize that your mother is less than twenty feet away, right?"

Justin laughed. "The thrill of the fuck..."

"You actually listen, I'm impressed, Sunshine" Brian smirked, tongue in cheek.

Taking the lead, he pressed Justin against the sink, one hand pulling Justin's head up for a kiss while the other one rummaged through the thick material of Justin's sweater only to sneak in between the smooth skin of the blond's stomach and his khakis.

"Justin!"

Pulling away from Brian quickly, Justin opened the bathroom door to shout, "Coming, Mom!"

Justin hustled to straighten his appearance. When he looked up through the mirror, he found Brian watching him.

"What?" the teen asked as he opened the tap.

“Nothing,” Brian shook his head.

Walking past Justin, he walked out the door.

“Mommy’s calling.”

With that he headed toward the staircase, with Justin following closely.

Justin grabbed Brian's arm from behind, so he could entwine his fingers with his boyfriend's.

"Are you hungry?"

Brian reached out with his free hand and cupped Justin’s khakis covered cock.

“Always.”

Justin laughed. "You're bad."

"Justin, are you and..." Jen stopped in her track when she saw Brian's hand on the front of her son's pants. Immediately pulling his hand away, Brian turned to see the shocked expression on Jennifer’s face. The three of them stood frozen for what seemed like forever, none of the three knowing what to say. Finally, Brian cleared his throat and resumed walking down the steps, pulling his still reluctant lover behind him.

“So, what are we eating?”

Jennifer pulled herself together.

"French toast," Jen told him. "With fresh fruit and maple syrup… I made eggs too. Is that ok, Brian? Or would you prefer something else?"

Brian walked around the table and pulling a chair out, he sat down next to the red-haired Justin clone.

“That’s fine,” he replied.

“I don’t want eggs,” Molly said, eying Brian carefully. "How old are you?" she finally asked after giving him a good look-over.

"Molly," Justin warned from the opposite side of the table.

Jen sighed. "Molly, behave."

"I was only asking him his age," Molly defended. "He looks old like dad."

Justin shot his sister a dirty look. "You are so gonna get it!"

She rolled her eyes at him.

Brian was grateful that he hadn’t started eating yet, because Molly’s question was a sure way to the choking land. And leaving Jennifer’s house alive was the plan of the day.

The brunet picked up a glass of orange juice that Jennifer had placed in front of him only moments before and gulped down the whole thing in record time. When he put the glass back down, he found that the blue eyes of the little girl were still trained on him.

“I’m thirty-one,” he finally responded, convincing himself to ignore Molly’s eyes widening in shock.

"That's enough of that, Molly," Jen scolded.

"But, Mom, he's so old!"

"Molly!"

"Dad says Jus -"

"Enough. Eat your breakfast."

Taking a deep breath in, Brian’s gaze shifted over to the other blond who was sending him ‘sorry’ messages telepathically.

Justin wanted to kill his little sister. Kicking her foot under the table was apparently not working. Justin figured that out when he saw the glare Brian shot him. He had mistakenly kicked his boyfriend’s foot instead of his brat of a sister’s!

Needing to change the topic quickly, Justin sipped his orange juice and said, "Thanks for having us over, Mom."

"Mom says you begged her to," Molly butted in. "To give *him*...," she turned to poke Brian in the arm, "... another chance!"

"You little witch!" Justin spat. "Go to your room!"

"Go to your room," Molly mimicked. "NO! You can't make me!"

Brian smirked, noticing the look of embarrassment on Jennifer’s face.

Figuring that he could score a few points with his lover’s mother, not that he cared of course, Brian leaned back in his chair, shifting his gaze to the youngest Taylor.

“So, Molly, Justin tells me you’re taking dancing lessons?”

Molly grunted. "Mom's making me."

She shot Jennifer a mean look, which was ignored.

Justin lifted the plate of fruit that was sitting closest to him on the table.

"Fruit?" he asked looking pointedly at Molly.

He hoped the little brat would choke on a grape.

She nodded. "Yes, please. And give some to..." She looked at Brian. "Hey, I forgot your name. I remember the other one. Um... Ethan! That’s it, right, Jus?"

She sounded most proud of herself.

Brian noticed Justin wince before directing another apologetic look his way. The ad exec was determined not to let IT or anything else get to him. Besides, the little brat was just that ­ a little brat. How could she know what the ad exec was feeling inside every time he heard the fiddler being mentioned?

“It’s ok,” Brian replied, turning back to her. “I can never remember names either.”

He looked up and winked at his lover who flashed him a wide, grateful grin.

Molly smiled, noticing the look that passed between the two men. She glanced at her mom, who was now sitting at the table. "Who's going to say grace?" Molly asked looking from Justin to Brian.

When no one offered, she started. "Dear Lord, thank you for giving us this meal... but not the eggs, cos I don't like eggs. Jus likes eggs though so..."

Jen's sigh got Molly back on track.

"Thank you for bringing Jus home, even if it's only for one day. Amen." She stopped. "Should I thank God for your friend too, Jus?"

Justin smiled at his sister. “Yeah.”

He looked up, meeting Brian’s gaze. “I do every day.”

Molly snorted. "That is soooo *gay*!" Her eyes twinkled in amusement.

"Molly," Jennifer chastised her daughter.

Brian just pulled his lips in between his teeth, stifling a laugh.

Justin grinned openly at his sister. "Thank you," the younger man said.

Molly chewed on a grape. "So, dude." She swallowed and looked at Brian. "You still haven't told me your name. Or do I just call you Justin's boyfriend?"

Brian snickered. "Well, DUDE, it's Brian."

"Brian!" Molly repeated. "*You’re* Brian?"

"Molly, shut up," Justin snapped.

"Eat your toast before it gets cold, Molly," Jen added.

Molly bit into her toast, but quickly turned to Brian again.

"I remember you," she said with a smile. "You look different though."

"No, he doesn't," Justin defended, afraid she was going to make a crack about his age again.

He was counting his blessings that Brian was playing it cool. Justin knew he had a long week ahead of him... making it up for his family's tactlessness… or rather, his sister's.

Molly was sure something was different. She stared at Brian long and hard as he tried his best to ignore her, chewing slowly on a piece of peach.

"I got it!" she exclaimed excitedly.

"Molly," Justin warned, looking up from the syrup he was pouring over his toast. "If you don't shut up this instant..."

"His hair's longer!" the girl said matter-of-factly.

Nudging Brian, she said sweetly, "I like it, Brian."

Justin smiled; relieved his sister hadn't said something embarrassing.

"It suits him," he commented.

She shrugged. "Unlike yours, which looks like a mop."

Brian snickered, covering his mouth with the back of his hand when he noticed his lover glaring at him. He would, on occasion tease Justin about his new do as well. Although, the fact was that he really liked it. It went well with the whole artsy look Justin was scoring.

Brian just counted his lucky stars that the blond had gotten rid of the black turtlenecks he had become so fond of during his brief time with the fiddler.

Tossing a warning look Molly's way, Jen turned back to her guests, motioning to their plates, "Is everything ok? Brian, have some eggs."

"He doesn't like eggs, Mom," Justin immediately told her.

“Brian doesn’t like eggs,” Molly reiterated.

"Well have more French toast,"

"He doesn't like carbs, Mom,"

“Brian doesn’t like carbs,” Molly mimicked, ignoring Justin’s glare.

Jen paused. "Is the fruit ok?"

Justin laughed. "Sure, as long as it's not past 7 at night."

Jen raised a brow in Brian's direction. "Strict diet plan?"

"It explains why he looks like a stick!" Molly butted in giggling at her joke, uncaring that nobody else was joining in.

Clearing his throat loudly, Brian sat up and looked around the table, grateful that at least the criticism was concerning his looks and not his other attributes, none of which would score him points - with either the mother or the daughter.

“French toast is fine, Jennifer,” he said sweetly, holding out his plate and glancing at Justin pointedly.

Justin grinned.

"Make sure to give him plenty, Mom," Justin said wickedly. "He was complaining about how hungry he was in the car."

“Something tells me you’ll be complaining about things LATER,” Brian said. He shot Justin a warning look when Jennifer gave him a generous portion of French toast, topping it with half a bottle of maple syrup.

Like his sister had done earlier, Justin stuck his tongue out at the older man.

"That's gross, Jus," Molly remarked, suddenly acting her age. Her gaze was offended once more by her brother's outstretched tongue. "Make him stop, Brian!" Molly pleaded with hands in front of her face.

Brian chuckled softly. Somehow in the midst of all the family drama, he had acquired a partner in crime. “Hey, don’t look at me,” he raised his hands in mock defeat. “I’m not the one who raised him.” He quickly shut up when a grape flew over the table, striking him on the forehead. “You little…” Brian was able to stop himself in time.

Somehow swearing in front of Jennifer and Molly didn’t seem like a good idea.

“Mom!” Molly whined. “Justin’s throwing food.”

“Ok, enough!” Jennifer held her hands up. “Stop acting like children.”

Justin and Brian lowered their heads as one, while the youngest one of them all sat there grinning with self-satisfaction.

“You too, Molly. You should know better,” Jennifer stood up from the table. “You barely see your brother. You should be happy that he’s here to see you instead of acting like a spoiled brat.”

Justin smiled and stuck his tongue out at his sister once more.

“Justin!” he heard his mother’s stern voice and focused his attention on the plate in front of him once more.

“Now, why don’t you three go into the living room while I make coffee,” she said, picking up an empty plate. “And try not to kill each other,” Jennifer called after them as all three bolted from the table.

Molly was the first to get up, running ahead, but coming back to grab Brian's hand.

"You wanna see my collection?" she asked.

Justin tugged on Brian's other hand. "You wanna see *my* collection?" he asked teasingly. "It's just up in my room..."

Ok, that was it. He was having a Taylor overload and not the good kind. Pulling away from the two siblings, Brian took a step back.

“How about I go and check out *my* collection.”

He pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his back pocket, wishing he had something stronger than simple cigarettes to help him get through the rest of the day.

Before either of them had a chance to respond, Brian crossed the living room, was down the stairs, and out the front door. Putting the cigarette into his mouth, he lit it, breathing in a lungful of smoke. Feeling his stress level lowering immediately, Brian took another puff and walked over to his Jeep, leaning against the driver’s side door.

His down time didn’t last long. A couple minutes later he heard the door open to reveal a red-haired girl. Molly closed the door behind her and hopped over to him, all the while giving Brian a curious look. She walked around him, studying his face, which made Brian incredibly uncomfortable.

“What?” Brian finally asked, unable to take any more of the silent inquisition.

The girl shook her head, but had not stopped staring at him questioningly.

Since he was far from being an expert on pre-teenage girls, Brian looked away, figuring that if she wanted to talk, she’d talk. And if she wanted to just stand there and stare, she was more than welcome to.

“Were you there with Justin?” he finally heard the small voice ask.

Looking down at her, Brian arched his eyebrow. “Where?”

“At the prom… when he got bashed?”

Brian’s stomach dropped at the mention of the bashing, the question coming from nowhere. Just like the fucking bat. Swallowing hard, he looked away, then back at her.

“Yeah.”

Molly chewed on her lower lip nervously, obviously dying to ask another question. She finally did. “Were you scared?”

Raising his hand to his mouth, Brian inhaled more nicotine, hoping it would stop his heart from racing like crazy. “Yeah,” he breathed out.

“Do you love Justin?”

Clearing his throat loudly, Brian looked away, as if the answer was out there somewhere in the sky. To his relief, he heard the front door open and his lover peeked out of it.

“Molly, mom’s calling you,” Justin told her.

The girl gave Brian a big smile and hopped back over to Justin, disappearing inside the house.

”You ok?” Justin asked when he walked up to Brian, taking the half-burnt cigarette in between his fingers and putting it to his lips.

Brian nodded in response. “She’s definitely your sister.”

Justin snorted. "Don't remind me." He handed the cigarette back to Brian. "It wasn't too bad, was it?" Justin asked, referring to the brunch.

“Well, I haven’t killed anybody yet, so I’d say it was a success.”

Justin leaned in for a kiss, which he immediately got. "I wouldn't speak too soon, if I were you," Justin pointed out when he pulled back. "It isn't over yet."

As if on cue, they heard, "Justin! Brian! Coffee's ready!"

Justin put out his hand. "Shall we?"

Taking one last puff, Brian tossed the cigarette away. Taking Justin’s hand in his, they made their way back inside.

Jen watched as her son and his lover sat down side by side. She was thrilled to see the open affection between the two men. Brian absentmindedly caressed Justin's back as the latter poured the other man's coffee.

Unbeknownst to him, Brian was winning points with her a lot lately, knowing how hard he was trying with her son. She couldn't remember the last time she had seen Justin so happy. Even with Ethan, he had lacked... well, he'd lacked *something*. She didn't doubt her son had really liked the other boy, but she suspected his heart belonged to one man only. And as much as she would have preferred Justin to be with someone younger, she accepted Brian as his choice.

Mixing her own coffee, she glanced up and saw Brian cringe at the cup in his hand. Justin hadn't noticed the look that passed across his face and asked, "Is it ok? Did I put enough milk and sugar?"

Brian nodded. "It’s perfect."

Jen hid her smile. Sitting back, she sipped her drink and watched the two men opposite her.

Somehow another hour passed by without major bloodshed and it was finally time to leave suburbia and head home. Saying good-bye to Jennifer and the smaller female copy of Justin, the two men climbed into the Jeep.

“Have I thanked you for doing this yet?” Justin asked him as Brian put the car in reverse and pulled out of the driveway.

“Not properly,” the ad exec responded, glancing briefly at his young lover. “But we’ll be home soon enough.”

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Justin grin widely. “You know what this means though?” Justin asked.

“What means what?” Brian raised his eyebrow at him questioningly.

“This brunch.”

“That I won’t be eating French toast for the next ten years?” Brian replied jokingly.

“No. We’re going to have to invite mom over.”

"Invite her where?" Brian was determined to be obtuse.

“To dinner,” Brian heard Justin say. “To the loft.”

Pulling the Jeep over to the side, Brian put it in park and turned to his lover. “Please, tell me you’re joking.”

"Brian." Justin sighed.

“Justin,” Brian mimicked him.

Justin tried hard not to laugh.

"You sound like Molly," he said.

“Well, at least I sound more mature than you,” Brian continued to mock, loving the look of complete annoyance on his lover’s face. At least Justin was learning what it was like to be Brian during Justin’s bratty moments.

"You wish," Justin teased, leaning over so his face was inches away from Brian's. "No matter what you do, I'm always gonna be more mature than you."

As if to emphasize his point, Justin grabbed at Brian's cock through the thin material of his pants.

"Don't you think so?" he asked sweetly.

A loud groan escaped the ad man’s lips before he could help himself.

His eyes were shining with lust and need for the blond bombshell in the passenger seat. Brian leaned over, enveloping Justin’s mouth with his own and getting a taste of maple syrup, coffee, and his lover’s own taste to create the most breathtaking kiss.

Pulling away, he smiled when he realized that Justin appeared to be in the same state he was in ­ horny as hell.

Settling back in his seat, Brian put the car in drive once again and pulled away from the curb. First they’d take care of the important things. Then he’d get Justin to see just how wrong in his thinking he was. There was no way in hell Brian was going to sit down with the Taylor’s *again* for a nice family dinner.

Justin smiled wistfully. He'd get his way... one way or another. His mother *was* coming over for dinner and that was that. Brian would just have to accept that fact. Although, Justin suspected his lover was going to be accommodating.

Looking across at Brian, their eyes met and they shared a smile.

Oh yeah, Justin thought, with the right enticement Brian would always be accommodating.
