OM GEYSERS! 1K VIEWS TYASM! I SQUEAL

Really though, I can't express my happiness enough. And when did I first post this story?? Damn.

(Not Edited)

"Hey, Brock! Have you see Tony?"

The mentioned man looked down at the sleepy puppy in his lap and smiled. "In here with me!"

The phone in his hand buzzed where he was halfway through a text and Brock looked down at it. 

"I bet you'll look beautiful."

The words clenched at Brock's heart but the man shook it off. Ever since his boyfriend disappeared without a trace three years ago, Brock hasn't been on the dating field for a while.

Brian held his heart and took it with him when he came up missing on their anniversary.

Police couldn't find him and eventually the case went cold. Brock decided to stop moping around and get out again. He found an amazing guy named Eric, but he wasn't a Brian and it crushed Brock to pieces because his heart wasn't fully in the relationship.

His fingers hesitantly typed a reply, and pressed send.

"Haha. Not rlly."

There was an engagement ring on his night stand. Police found it on the bedstand in Brian's apartment.

He was going to propose to Brock.

Tremors racked Brock's body as he fought back tears. He was done mourning.

"I'll be the judge of that, babe. ;)"

Eric and Brock have never met. Only Skype calls and texts were their communication, but now they have a date Friday, tomorrow, seeing it's Thursday.

Brock and Brian always had dates on Saturdays, so they had the day to themselves. Brian knew how to make Brock smile on his worst days...

Brian. Brian. Brian.

Buzz.

"Babe?"

Brock couldn't do it. He couldn't go out with another man with Brian on his mind 24/7. He hasn't even said I love you to Eric! Because he didn't...but he didn't want to hurt the man who's wife had cheated on him with his brother.

"Hey..I don't think I can do this.."

"Wdym?"

"I'm scared."

"The date?"

"...yes."

Eric's response came a little slower.

"We don't have to ya know. Won't force ya into anything."

There are only two options here.

Suck it up and carry on with life, because Brian's gone and nothing can change that.

Or..

Keep on mourning for his possibly dead lover.

"I'll be there."

"Change your mind?"

"Not scared anymore."

"I can't wait to finally make you, mine. Ily."

Brock couldn't text the words back. So he just left it so it just said read. Assholish, yes, but he'd explained to Eric he didn't like saying I love you over text.

Brock couldn't love anyone besides Brian. Couldn't do it.

A single and final single tear slipped from his defense and he whispered.

"I don't love him...I love you..."

Short and shitty, ik, but it's Terrorknuckel! So-! Yeah!

Anyway, nm to say so...slower updates...Allie out!
