Brief summary: This fic kills me so very much. It's beautiful and solemn and it might make you cry. Warning: Major character death.


Excerpt:
Once, when his dad was too hung over to care, or maybe he just wanted Gus to know, he mentioned Justin. Gus' ears perked up at this, because Brian never talked about Justin if he could avoid it. To this day, Gus didn't think that anyone in their family knew exactly how Justin had died. Brian was nursing his coffee, and said into the cup, "Do you know what his last words were to me?"

Gus shook his head and waited for his father to continue. "He was walking out the door, and he looked back and said, 'I'll be back.' I said something about the Terminator, and he laughed, and then he left." Brian was silent, and Gus poured him some more coffee. Brian turned to look at the sole unfinished painting in the loft. "It was the last thing that he worked on, did you know that? And he was so mad that he couldn't get it right. That's where he was going that day, to the studio to work on it." Gus stared at Brian, who was staring at the painting. Then he picked up his coat and left, after reminding his father that the championship game was next Saturday, don't forget.
