Push Me, Pull Me

Part Two: Chapter Fifteen

Part Two

DominatedLoveSlave: Nora!! It says you're online so you'd better be by your computer because I have the best news!!

It had been a week and sometimes Justin still couldn't believe it. Brett Walker loved him. Brett Walker loved him.

It didn't fix any of the other problems in his life. His family was still his family. His educational goals were still nonexistent. His insomnia wasn't as bad, but it was still a problem. But that was all a little easier to deal with now, because, life was, in the literal sense of the word, awesome. He loves me.

Sometimes Justin didn't think Brett realized how much that meant, but when it was just the two of them, alone, and his boyfriend -- his boyfriend! -- curled into him with no hesitation, leaning his head on his shoulder or kicking his leg over his lap and nuzzling into his stomach like he belonged there -- and he did -- Justin knew that, yes, Brett did realize, because he felt the same way. And it was amazing. In the billions of people that existed, the fact that the two of them, who could clearly both be huge idiots about this kind of thing, found each other and felt the same way? Justin still wasn't sure if he believed in God, but he stuck to his belief that there was something bigger nudging things around.

AreYouThereGod: Justin!! What is it?

DominatedLoveSlave: So, remember Brett?

AreYouThereGod: Of course!

AreYouThereGod: OHGOSHOHGOSH Justin really?? :D

DominatedLoveSlave: Yes!

AreYouThereGod: Okay so I definitely just shrieked "ERIKA MY BROTHER FINALLY GOT WITH THE MAN OF HIS DREAMS"

AreYouThereGod: And she said "That's great! I'm so happy for him!! But I still need you to do the dishes."

AreYouThereGod: This is what you have to look forward to!

DominatedLoveSlave: Haha. True love.

AreYouThereGod: <3

AreYouThereGod: True love isn't just gazing wistfully into each other's eyes and having sex all the time. True love is taking him to the doctor when he's sick and cooking dinner and going grocery shopping with each other and trying to decide whether to go on automatic bill pay for the electric and whose credit card to use for it and sharing t-shirts because you should have done laundry a week ago and still being crazy about each other anyway.

DominatedLoveSlave: That actually sounds really awesome. I would love to have that.

AreYouThereGod: :)

AreYouThereGod: Well, hopefully you do.

DominatedLoveSlave: I think so.

DominatedLoveSlave: I mean, I know we're still in the honeymoon stage because it's been like, a week, if that. But... we've been really close for a really long time anyway. And I can see us like that.

Justin thought that should make him nervous. Monogamy? Commitment? It was a complete switch from how he'd handled his relationships up to that point, but it didn't scare him at all. He was so tired of the drama and the guessing involved with all of it. He was ready for this.

DominatedLoveSlave: So, about me coming out for my birthday?

AreYouThereGod: Are you going to be able to?
