Brit Valentine

Chapter disclaimer: Chapter 6&7 were updated at the same time because you would have killed me if I made you wait for Chapter 7. These are intense chapters.





Chapter 6



A few days went by before Colton had time to go in and talk to Jayce about his tattoo. While he sat and waited, he thought of ways to break the ice and talk about Brit.



"Are you mad at him?" Colton asked from the bench across the room from the counter where Jayce was drawing.



"Nope." Jayce didn\'t look up and continued sketching.



"He wants to see you."



"Does he really? Hmm, imagine that." Jayce\'s sarcasm carried across the room to another artist who burst out laughing.



"He does, so will you just go to lunch with him or something?" Colton ignored the laughing artist.



"Are we talking about the same person?" Jayce looked up at the ceiling and tapped his chin. "Cause the Brit I know, is a breathing skeleton who doesn\'t eat... at all."



"Stop being an asshole, and just go see him. He misses you."



"I don\'t need to go see him. You and I both know he\'s going to get a blast from the past soon, so what\'s the point?"



"Brit has changed. He actually misses you. He never misses anyone!"



"Except for Chad, the only one who knows him,... who is back in town, and waiting for the tattoo that he got for Brit to heal before he goes and sees him. How ironic that I happen to be the one tattooing Chad\'s tattoo for Brit, hm? You don\'t need to be here while I draw this. Come back tomorrow."



"Chad? Whatever, if you wait too long, you\'ll miss your chance. So stop being an asshole, and think about it." Jayce couldn\'t stop thinking about it for the rest of the day.



When Jayce arrived home, there was Brit laying down in front of Jayce\'s apartment door. It scared Jayce, he couldn\'t tell if he passed out or was sleeping. He gently shook his shoulder.



Brit\'s eyes opened into slits. He smiled and wrapped his arms around Jayce\'s neck. "I was waiting for you."



"What are you doing here?" Jayce pulled Brit\'s arms off him and helped him sit up against the wall.



"Twitch told me I couldn\'t go home and Colton wasn\'t home so I came here." As Brit got more awake, he acted more like himself.



"And you just assumed you\'d be welcome?" Jayce sat back on his heels.



"You\'re wrong about me." Brit pulled his knees into his chest and rest his chin on his knees.



"I am?"



"Yeah."



"Tell me how I was wrong."



"Only if you let me inside."



Jayce laughed and opened the door, holding it open for him. Brit went inside before Jayce could close the door. He went straight to the kitchen and looked to see what food he had.



"All I have is chicken salad, but it\'s really good. You should try it."



Brit made a face that told Jayce no but he wasn\'t listening. He picked up the container and got a taste size bite for Brit.



"Try it. Please, I made it yesterday. Please just try it." Jayce inched the spoon closer to Brit.



Brit opened his mouth and Jayce smiled as he fed him.



"Well?" Jayce took a bite of his own from the same spoon.



"For a once living animal, it\'s really good." Brit nodded his head and sat down at the table. He got a little bowl of the chicken salad for Brit and he got himself a slightly bigger bowl.



"Ok. So tell me. I\'m dying to know, what did I misinterpret?" Jayce asked as he joined him at the table.



"You implied I\'m a whore who can sleep with anyone. Technically, if I wanted to, I could sleep with anyone, but I don\'t want to, therefore I don\'t. There has to be some sort of connection. And, I know it\'s weird, but for me to talk to someone after they admit they like me and we\'ve had sex, is a big deal. I still think you\'re dangerous, but I love playing with danger." Brit explained while playing with his food.



"Oh, I was very wrong about you. So why didn\'t you just call and leave a message?"



"I wanted to see you..." Brit couldn\'t tell if he was getting rejected or not.



"Well here I am." Jayce was being an asshole again.



Brit thought about going through with being a nice guy but he gave up. "Why are you being an asshole? You\'re a fucking pussy if you\'re still pissed over that stupid lie." Brit got up and walked to the door.



Jayce laughed. "Brit, you\'re popular, why do you need Colton to do your dirty work for you?"



"Don\'t be an asshole. I didn\'t send him. He does what he feels like."



"Why did you come here?" Jayce got up and walked over to Brit, putting a hand on his front door so Brit couldn\'t leave. Brit turned around and leaned up against the door looking up at Jayce.



"I want to be exclusively dating you. I don\'t want to get kicked out of here anymore. I don\'t want you to be an asshole to me unless I deserve it. And lastly, I\'m an awful person to be steady with, so I want you to put up with me."



Jayce took his hand off the door and folded his arms. He tilted his head to the side, "Hmm, I never realized you were so demanding..."



Brit suddenly found the floor a lot more interesting as he waited to be rejected to his face for the first time.



Jayce put a hand on Brit\'s chin and guided it so he could look in his eyes. "But I think I can see that all of those demands get satisfied." Jayce smiled as Brit blushed and kissed him.



"Good." Brit wrapped his arms around Jayce\'s torso and rested his head against his chest, closing his eyes.
