Drabble: Filling Spaces (Ethan/Justin)

Title: Filling Spaces
Fandom: Queer as Folk
Spoilers: Season 2, eps 15-19 (only slightly, though)
Pairing: Ethan/Justin, only, not really
Rating: PG13
Word Count: 150 words
Summary: Tragedy's beautiful too.
Additional Notes: Supposed to explain why Ethan cheated, but I forgot about that but when I finished the drabble today. For [livejournal.com profile] 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.

I love, I love, I love so much, and how dare you make me feel sorry for that chin-ratted scuzzball.

Poor scuzzball. :(

(PS; how insanely cool is my icon? :D)

What, what? I expressed my sympathy for the little chin-ratted weasel, didn't I? What more do you want?

Oh, god, Evy. I'm so desperately obsessed with Randy that it's not even funny anymore. I keep rewinding bits of the film that have him in and going on and on and on at Raphie and omgsoinlove.

The actual footage of dancing!Randy is so. hot. omg.

Stop calling him names wah.

Dude. I would say you worry me, but I think I've gone past that to the point of actually just counting down the days until they forcibly take you to a Randy Anonymous meeting. :|

But he is a scuzzy chin-ratted sleazebag! *protests*


Also; they can't make me go if I don't want to! They can't, I refuse! Ilovehimsomuch.:|

They'll take you away forcibly, love, and IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD TOO!

And I don't like violin music because Lynette played the violin and I hated her, hated her, hated her. Stupid curly-haired round-headed Kayleigh-stealing bitch.
- the chin-ratted scuzzball is a lot prettier than Lynette. And a better violin player. Hmm.
But, still a chin-ratted scuzzball, sadly. Shame, that, ne?


*Wails* No, no it's not. NOBODY UNDERSTANDS. >:O!

She was a bitch. And, also, an idiot. I will never forget her asking me, at the end of Year6, after knowing us for over a year, whether I was going up a class or staying in the one I was in. I was just like '...I'm leaving school now, retard.' Ah, that was fun.


Fellow? You mean there are others? *wideeyes*

even when Justin shifts his gaze and tries hard to cry out Ethan's name

I forgot to mention that I love you sooooooooo much. Ido,Ido, ohyesIdo.

OH OH OH! That was beautiful.

... I really quite like Ethan, dammit.

*hugs him*

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.

Thank you! :)

So do I, the poor boy, and your icon breaks my heart. :(

[identity profile] creativeslumber.livejournal.com 2005-05-18 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
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? :)

I mean, man, who lives up to Brian Kinney? :)

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

It breaks my heart also, but I HAD TO USE IT because most of the places I go, I'd get beaten with sticks for using it. >:)

I always wanted Justin to go back to Brian, but the relationship with Ethan was just so beautiful and sad and doomed, because of course Justin wasn't fully there at any point.

Also, Ethan makes me swoon.

(but not as much as Brian does.)
