When I dreamed up that scene, which was way back while I was writing Decisions, it made me cry. In fact, the scene that exploded into my brain was the WHOLE THING, his visit to the doctor, him crying before Brian got him, all of it. And I cried.

I didn't want to show all that because, ok, weepy!Justin needs to be doled out very sparingly because it gets old v v fast. He's a tough little shit, not a chick with a dick, and even I don't cry as much as CowLip made Justin cry, LOL.

But he's really had a lot to deal with in a pretty short time.

God I love Justin. And Brian. And mostly I love Brian and Justin.

I love you, too. You'd fucking better come to the city next weekend....
