coffeebuddha | Daily Drabble 2 (Reply)

In case you missed my last couple of posts, in this post I asked if anyone would be interested in helping me with a new writing project where every day I write a short fic (between 100-500 words) based on a prompt taken from the first comment of the previous day's fic. The feedback was good enough that I decided to go ahead with the idea.

Title: Beauty
Author: coffeebuddha
Rating: PG-13/FRT
Characters/Pairing: Justin Taylor, Brian Kinney
Disclaimer: Nothing belongs to me.
Word Count: 318
Prompt: "QAF Brian/Justin shower naked times." Requested by

kachera.

Showering together isn't just about sex. Well, maybe it is for Brian, but it isn't like that for Justin. When it comes right down to it, Justin's favorite part about their showers is just looking at the other man. It's not just that he's beautiful-he's Brian fucking Kinney after all. There's no question that he's gorgeous-but there's something almost untouchably brilliant about him. So while Brian stands under the spray, Justin leans against the wall and watches.

He watches the way the water slicks Brian's hair down, revealing the symmetry of his features. Notes the way the tendons in his neck stretch taut when he tilts his head back. Follows the rivulets of soapy water as they run down his torso, dipping in and out of each hollow, pooling in his belly button, slipping over the jut of his hipbones, highlighting every muscle. He's David come to life, all hard, strong lines and sculpted sinew. Absolute perfection from head to toe; at least until he opens that beautifully cruel mouth and says something to destroy the illusion.

Justin watches him, hungry in a way that has nothing to do with sex. His fingers twitch, eager to sketch him and try to capture the fleeting beauty of him in this exact moment on paper. Instead, he makes due with his mind's eye, trying to memorize every shadow and clinging soap sud so that when he's in class or at the diner or watching Brian seducing, kissing, fucking someone else, he can close his eyes and remember a few minutes where Brian was solely his.

Of course, none of that means that when Brian reaches for him-his mouth sucking a mark at the curve where Justin's neck meets his shoulder and his fingers pinching and teasing his nipple until he thinks he could come from that alone-that he thinks for even a moment about pulling away.

Thank you for reading! Feedback is always appreciated!

IMPORTANT: Because of classes, I'm several episodes behind on Criminal Minds and won't be able to catch up until probably Thanksgiving. If you request something for Criminal Minds, PLEASE keep that in mind and keep the spoilers AWAY from my journal. Thanks!
