Brief summary: In which AJ is way too sexy for Brian. A wonderful story, both funny and heartfelt, that is guaranteed to make you smile.

AJ thought for a second that Brian must be asleep, but then he heard -- felt -- a low hum at his ear. Gathering himself up, he swiped at his chin to make sure he hadn't been drooling, and pulled back a little so he could see Brian's face in the streetlights shining through the windows. Brian smiled at him drowsily, his arm tightening a little on AJ's waist, and suddenly AJ thought how much he'd like it if Brian were interested in him. Not just because it would be cool to know he could make someone want him, but because Brian was really sexy, and funny, and sweet. Besides being a huge dork, of course.

"Wake up, sleepyhead," Brian said in a low voice, and AJ realized the other guys must be sleeping, too. "We're almost at the hotel."

AJ tilted his head back, looking up at Brian in the near-darkness. Ah, what the hell. "Hey, Bri," he whispered, "you wanna come up to my room when we get there? Nick won't be back till late."

For a second AJ almost thought Brian was going to say yes; there was a warm look in his eyes, different from anything AJ had seen before. Maybe he just needed a little encouragement. AJ licked his lips slowly. "C'mon, man. You know I'll make it worth your while." He waggled his eyebrows to get the message across.

Title: And Everything After

Characters: Howie, Brian, et al.
Prompt: 21 Epiphany.
Rating: PG-13
Length: Long.
Brief summary: Howie finally gets what he isn't expecting. The great characterizations and the careful development makes this story an absolute favorite in my book. It's delightfully quirky, and you can't help but love Howie for taking such a long time to finally understand what is going on around him.

Howie started to think that Brian might be psychic in June, around the same time that Brian pulled Howie into a hallway and kissed him. It was also in June that Howie started to think Brian might be going insane. It wasn't a coincidence.

It wasn't so much the kiss. The kiss wasn't that weird. Or it was, but the weird thing about it was that they were alone when the kissing occurred. It was also kind of weird that Brian didn't say anything, just kissed Howie, squeezed his shoulder, and headed on down the hall. But the kiss. If it had been Nick, Howie wouldn't have even blinked. If it'd been in front of the fellas, Howie wouldn't have thought anything of it. It was no different than when they all got drunk together and Brian slobbered all over Nick's cheek in an attempt to piss him off, which never actually did piss Nick off but instead inspired him to start giving everyone wet willies. Howie really hated that.

This wasn't really that different, Howie supposed. Except that they were alone in a hallway at CBS. And Howie was pretty sure he'd felt a little tongue.

There were several explanations. However, Howie was pretty sure that Brian wasn't drunk, trying to piss Howie off, or trying to get Howie to give Kevin a wet willie which meant that most of his explanations had just flown out the window. And anyway, the kiss wasn't messy. And it wasn't all that chaste either, really. Or it was, but only because Howie just stood there too shocked to respond.

Which left insane. And possibly psychic.
