Justin's renewed Brian-obsession was distracting, but it didn't keep him from noticing there was still something going on with Eric and Knox. Or rather, that Eric was obviously crushing on Knox, and -hard-. After a third straight dinner shift spent watching Eric blush whenever Knox offered to light his cigarette, Justin decided it was time to bring it up.

They were naked, of course, sharing a cigarette because they'd smoked the last of Knox's stash two days ago and he wouldn't have more 'till the weekend.

"So. What's up with Eric?"

"Hmm? Up, how?"

Justin snickered, and bumped Knox's side with his knee. "Oh, come on. You can't expect me to believe that you knew he was gay, but that you don't see he's got an -enormous- crush on you."

Knox sighed quietly, and laid his arm across his forehead. "Well... yeah. I've noticed."

"Aaannnd?" Justin wasn't used to Knox being evasive. There was definitely something going on.

"He's a sweet kid." Knox sort of shrugged. "He is still... kind of a kid, though, you know?"

Justin did know, hell, he was the same age as Eric. Only 'Sean' wasn't, so he kept that to himself. "Yeah, well. Age isn't everything. You like him?"

Knox didn't answer. Justin turned his head, and found Knox just staring up at the ceiling. This was... kinda weird. And called for more direct measures.

Justin sat up, suddenly, and shifted around until he could straddle Knox's chest. Knox oofed a little, and caught Justin's thighs with his hands. "What?"

"I asked you a question," Justin smiled, just a bit. "Do you like Eric?"

"Hmmm." Knox's mouth twitched, and one hand slid up Justin's thigh towards his crotch. "I like -you-...."

Justin laughed and pushed Knox's hand away from his cock. "Uh-uh, no distracting me with sex. Just answer me."

Knox chewed his lip a little before he answered. "Yeah, I like him."

Justin walked his fingers up Knox's chest. "You think he's cute?"

That earned him a grin. "I know he's cute." Knox opened his mouth and tilted his head up, asking for a drag. Justin let him puff off the cigarette.

"And... you know he's probably a virgin, right?"

"Yeah, I kinda guessed that part."

"So," Justin thought of his own first time, and how relentlessly he'd stalked Brian afterwards, despite everything and everyone who'd warned him against it. "I'm just thinking out loud here, but if you guys do anything, he might tend to get a little... attached."

Knox's eyes slid away from Justin, and he turned his head to look out the window. "Would that be so bad?"

Wow, this was serious, more serious than Justin had realized. He leaned in a little, carded his fingers through Knox's hair and let his thumb rub along his lover's temple. "Maybe not. But if you're both at the restaurant, having to work together all the time? It could be, yeah."

Knox let out a slow breath, and his eyes slid shut. "I like him a lot, Sean. I want him."

Justin thought about that, while he let his fingers roam over Knox's scalp. "School starts up in... about two weeks, right? Think you'll still want him by then?"

Knox chuckled, "Uh, yeah."

"So... wait it out. Then if things don't work out between you, well, you're not stuck working all your shifts together and... he can go throw himself into his schoolwork or some shit."

Knox sighed heavily, and then turned to smile faintly up at Justin. "You're so smart. What would I do without you around?"

"Hmm, who knows." Justin smiled and leaned down to kiss him softly. "Probably fuck up a lot."

Knox laughed a little. "Probably." He lifted his arms and wrapped them around Justin's back, and Justin fumbled the cigarette into the ashtray on Knox's headboard as Knox pulled him into a kiss. "Mmmm... you okay with this?"

"Why-" They kissed again, and rolled and Knox's body was warm and solid between Justin's thighs. "Why wouldn't I be?"

Knox actually stopped, pulled his mouth away from Justin's neck and just looked up at him like it was the silliest question he'd ever heard. Justin giggled and cupped Knox's jaw with the palm of his hand. "We'll still be friends, right?"

"Yeah. 'Course we will." Knox's face was like an open book, so honest and easy and Justin could tell he'd actually been worried about this, maybe this was even why he'd been all indecisive about Eric.

Justin smiled and drew Knox's face closer. "Then I'm okay."

Hmmmm, avoiding my question, eh?
You ARE writing more rightthisveryminutetopostsoon, Aren't you?!
From: [identity profile] wrenlet.livejournal.com
You're just trying to weasel plot points out of me ;) And sadly, not this very minute... there's this very short person who makes all these demands on my time... yes, shorter than Justin. It's just me and the kiddo alone in the house all weekend, so writing will happen sporadically until, maybe Tuesday.

Ohhh, your little cutey-patottie! Ok, I'll be patient- or I'll try... really- I can be patient when I want to be, so I'll just want to be. I'll be fine...really.

*pounce*

Whee! Another part! Wrenlet, you are just too good to your fans. :)

And I truly adore Knox. I'm torn between a Knox/Justin pairing, and Justin/Brian. What's a fan to do?! I think I know the reason you're paring Knox up with Eric. It's to take away the temptation, isn't it?

Ah, see Brian, how good she is to you? So you better do something good for her soon...

So Wrenlet, how does a Kinney body massage sound? ;)

MMMMMMMmmmm, sounds fantastic. Possibly illegally good, even. *leers*

There'll be parts every day, at least through November. Short parts, on the days where I suck like yesterday, but parts :)

So happy to have more story! I was sad when I checked earlier and there wasn't anything.
I think this story might be like nicotine. I was jonesing(sp?)for another chapter.
Love Knox and Eric.
Love Justin and Brian.
Justin is just a wonderful person, ya know? All with the relationship advice and support for his buddy.

OK, I started reading this story at about midnight, got to the *miss you* at around two. Could NOT stop sobbing till four. Nothing I did would help me sleep. I was SO completely disturbed and upset. It is now 8:15 and I have finally finished reading this last entry.

ok, knox and justin? so fucking cute. and knox and eric? also so fucking cute. go knox! justin will help you with the hard stuff. (hard! *snerk* ) really, knox is adorable, he's worried about getting attached to eric and eric getting attached to him and how that's going to affect his relationship with justin. he doesn't want to screw any of it up. and because you've already given us dead!justin and made us LIKE it, i think knox and eric should get to be happy together. and not give justin pangs of... whatever he'd have pangs of.

Remember, Justin was the one who didn't want any weirdness. Knox is just allovernice and considerate :)

(They are so damned fun to write together. 'Cause, you know, even when Knox is worried and evasive, he's easy. They're easy.)

Oh! Justin's gong to lose his fuck-buddy! But I'm so glad that Knox hasn't developed feelings for Justin or vice-versa. :)

Knox rocks, and so do you! And Justin is a warrior, and a true friend to Knox.
