Chapter Eight

Gus lowered his hands from his mouth "You heard what I said" He whispered, blinking his tear filled eyes.

Jake nodded "If I knew...I would of never done that" He bit his lower lip.

"So only if I loved you, then wouldn't of slept with her?" Gus asked, staring intensely at Jake.

"Well...I really had no idea how you felt about me. I thought you'd never find out" Jake wanted so much to hug Gus.

"Did you like it?" Gus asked, matter of factly.

Jake was taken aback "I don't...know, it's different. It's soft..but...I want hardness. The sounds she made ...I...I don't think I'm straight but we haven't had sex so I don't know how I'd feel about it" Jake said, quietly.

"Is this your way of getting me into bed?" Gus snapped with a harshness in his voice.

"What?" Jake was shocked. "No!"

"I need time by myself. Get out" Gus's stare never lost it's intensity.

"I'll call you later...ok?" Jake asked, putting his hand in his pocket.

"I'll be busy" Gus's voice was rough. Jake nodded, he walked out of the house slowly, hoping Gus would call him back. He didn't. Jake left the house, when he shut the door, he sighed heavily.

Gus roughly ran his hand thorough his hair. Brian appeared from the dining room "You feeling ok?" He still wore his jacket.

"Yeah" He muttered. "I'm going upstairs" Gus went to his room without another word.


Michael sat up in the hospital bed. Debbie, Hunter and JR sat in the room.

"What drugs did they give you?" Hunter asked, leaning forward, giving full attention.

Michael laughed "Why? You want some?" He joked.

"Perhaps" Hunter grinned.

"Nice to see you're back to yourself" Debbie smiled. "Now... how is this hospital food" She stood up looking at the tray in front of Michael. "Looks nasty, tell you what, I'll fix you up something real nice" She winked with a smile. Michael laughed.

"Dad, when will you be coming home?" JR asked, looking down at her boots.

"I dunno, whenever the doctors think can" Michael said in a tone of sadness.

The door opened Ben came in followed by Ted and Emmett.

"Guys, what are you doing here?" Michael grinned.

"Sweetie we heard you were sick, so we came back" Emmett said smiling, walking over to the bed.

"Thanks you guys" Michael beamed. Ben stood at the door smiling 'Good to see him back to himself' Ben thought.

"Anything for a friend" Ted said, walking over and hugging Michael.

Emmett and Ted helped to take everybodies minds off things with their stories and photos.

JR went outside the hospital, she used the excuse that there were too many people in the room, so she needed some fresh air.


Gus sat on his bed. He was looking at a motorcycle magazine. His cell rang, it was in his pocket. He reached in and took it out.

"Hello?" He answered.

"Hi, it's me" JR's voice replied.

"Hey" Gus smiled upon hearing her voice.

"Are we going to the grave tomorrow?" She asked, her voice sounded strange.

Gus forgot all about it, he thought he should go. It'd be good for him. "Sure. When will you be ready?... .. Are you ok?" He added, slowly.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I dunno when I'll be ready. I think I'm going home. I'll call you"

"Cool" Gus nodded to himself.

"Are you ok?" JR asked gently.

"What?...Yeah, I'm alright" Gus lied. "See you tomorrow"

"Bye"

"Bye" Gus hung up.

Gus decided he should go out, he didn't want to be the kind that moped around the house. He got off the bed. He searched all his clothes looking for something to wear.

Brian sat in the living room watching television. He heard Gus coming down the stairs.

"Sonnyboy, where you going?" He asked, turning his head slightly. His back was to Gus.

"Em, I'm going to Jesse's. Just to hang out" Gus lied, he stood by the front door.

"Ok when are you going to be back?" Brian asked.

"Dunno, might be late" He said, sweetly.

"Ok, call if you need a ride back" Brian said, turning his head back to the T.V.

"Thanks" Gus yelled, closing the door behind him "Off to Babylon to get me a hot guy" He whispered to himself.


"How's Mikey?" Brian asked. Emmett and Ted went around to see them. They heard about what happened between Michael and Brian. Ted and Brian sat in the living room. Emmett and Justin were in the kitchen making coffee.

"He's ok. Ben said he's slowly getting back to himself" Ted answered, looking at Brian.

"That's good" Brian nodded slowly.

"Yeah" Ted agreed.

"Here's coffee" Emmett came into the living room, holding a pot of coffee. Justin followed carrying the cups.

"One for you...one for you" Justin said, handing Brian anad Ted a cup.

Emmett poured the coffee. He put the near-empty pot on the small table Justin pulled out. Emmett sat down beside Ted and Justin beside Brian.

"Where's Gus?" Emmett asked, bringing the cup closer to his mouth.

"At a friends house" Brian sipped his coffee.

"He needs time...he's having...boy troubles" Justin added, rubbing Brian's back.

"I remember that, growing up was tough" Ted said thoughtfully.

"Therodore ...Sonnyboy decided to keep his penis unlike you" Brian smirked at Ted.

"Funny Brian" Ted rolled his eyes.

Justin cleared his throat and stood up "I have news" He smiled. "Daphne and I are going to have a baby" His face split into a dazzling smile.

"Baby, that's great, a baby" Emmett laughed, getting up to hug Justin. Ted did the same. After the hugging, Justin continued. "We haven't done the insemination yet but the appointment is tomorrow" Justin slowly exhaled with a smile.

"That's great" Ted cheered. Justin looked at Brian smiling. Brian returned the smile.


Gus stood getting his dick sucked. The wall behind him was cold but he didn 't care, the feeling of his dick engulfed in someone's mouth made him forget everything else. Nearly every guy in Babylon was checking him out. He danced with dozens of men but this one stuck out. He was tall with dark curls and emerald eyes. Gus thought his name was Jimmy or Timmy, he couldn't hear him over the music. Gus opened his eyes and looked down at the dark haired man sucking him, he realised he looked like Jake.

"Could you stop?" Gus asked, looking down at him.

"Sure" Timmy/Jimmy got off his knees.

"Sorry I gotta go" Gus fixed his trousers and walked away.

"Hang on, here's my number" The guy handed Gus a piece of paper with a phone number on it. Gus stuffed it in his pocket and nodded, wanting to get away. He rushed out of the club, looking for a taxi.


Ben returned to the hospital alone. Hunter was staying with JR. Michael sat on the bed reading a comic.

"I'm back" Ben smiled. He kissed Michael gently.

"Hey lover" Michael greeted back, smiling widely.

Ben sat beside Michael on the bed. He took Michael's hand and held it, "I was thinking, the day of the accident, Brian came to visit after he heard the news...sometimes he isn't always friendly but he's your best friend and I think I treated him unfairly. You, JR and Hunter mean so much to me, So I think we should forgive Brian but we shouldn't leave JR with him again" Ben looked at Micheal. "What do you think?" He asked.

"This is why I love you" Michael leaned in and kissed Ben. "We never brought JR back to the station" Michael worried.

"It's fine, Karl is taking care of it" Ben looked at the bedsheets and then back at Michael. "They still haven't found the driver...they want to ask you questions when you're out of here" Ben spoke in a gentle tone.

"Ok" Michael nodded, slowly meeting Ben's lips.
