[slumber]

Rating: PG13

Additional Notes: Supposed to explain why Ethan cheated, but I forgot about that but when I finished the drabble today. For siobhanohare, and substitutes like Ethan. You've my love.


Justin smiles at him, lips curling up in his should-be-patented sunshine smile, and Ethan thinks it's love.

And it is, it should be, the sort of mad passionate love that artists feel and live and create, the sort that masterpieces are made of, because Justin follows him and kisses him and Ethan thinks it can't be anything else but love.

It is love, with enough fire to warm endless nights under the stars, enough fire to blaze endless nights under the earth, even when Justin shifts his gaze and tries hard to cry out Ethan's name when he knows, when they both know. Even then.

And Ethan thinks, with Justin snuggled up next to him, sated but not wholly, that there's something madly passionate and poetic about filling spaces too.

It's still love anyway, isn't it, Ethan wonders. Justin only breathes in reply, and Ethan thinks it has to be.

Ooo, nice. I always feel Ethan was rather used, even if he was scummy at the last.

And there was something madly passionate about their fling (love that description). It just wasn't lasting.

He was only back up, it was so tragic, and yeah, he was mean at the end, wah.

Would have been nice if it lasted. :( (Or maybe not, I'm still trying to decide. :P)

I'm addicted to Brian, so I was always pulling for Justin to go back, but I totally think Ethan was necessary and yeah, tragic.

And he got shafted in the end, over any excuse to go back to Brian. Which, I mean, didn't make cheating any less of a stupid thing to do, but I don't think that was really why Jusitn left. I mean, man, who lives up to Brian Kinney? :)

LOL, no contest about that. ;) *Brian-whore*
