If that wasn't the best fuck you and welcome to space basket I've ever seen, I dread to think what the upcoming weeks will bring. [ and don't mind him, looking nonchalant and sounding drab (thumbing through the sunday paper) because he's not going to let the man get him down, or see him acting like he can't handle curve balls. he's thumbing his nose to whoever had been behind that, knowing full well that with apathy and belittling attitude comes a target.

he won't be rolling over. ]

It's been brought to my attention [ social expectations and manners can kiss his ass ] that if I'm going to be trapped here for an indefinite amount of time like the rest of you, I should probably introduce myself. Brian Kinney, and while I'm still not buying into all the bullshit, I'd like to know what there is [ a distasteful twist of his lips ] to do around here in the meantime.

[ say it ain't so, he's requesting ~n o r m a l~ things. ] Aside from taking a fledgling position in the cockpit or wherever else. There's a reason I never joined the military. [ he looks thoughtful, quieter now that it's off his chest, rolls his lips into his mouth momentarily. whatever the reason, he doesn't share it. ] Any input would be appreciated.

[ he's probably going to regret that last line. 8| ]

Pretty average.

I was bullied out of my public school and ended up at a private all boys academy. That's where I met Kurt. He was from a rival Glee club and was spying on us.

Since then, he's been my world.

[kingofbabylon]

[ There's a short pause and something in his tone seems to shift. ]

I was too. Bullied. I didn't move, though. Fucker wasn't going to get the satisfaction of not having to see me everyday.

It's good you have him, though. Kurt. A lot of shit I wouldn't have got through as well without Brian. [ And he gives no shits if he hears that because it's true ]

[mediumdrip]

Kurt was in the middle of it when I met him. I helped him through it and then he helped me find myself again.

I'm glad you had someone there for you too.

[kingofbabylon]

So the two of you made it out alive together? That's sweet. [ not said with sarcasm. he actually wishes he had that kind of support - sure, there was Daphne and the GSA he tried to start and Brian telling him to not give a fuck, but it was him alone getting slammed against the lockers at school. ]

[mediumdrip]

We did. We still are. I'd be going crazy if I didn't have him here.

[kingofbabylon]

Yeah? Well. Good luck with it, and-- [ he wants to give some kind of warning, 'don't be too loud about it', 'don't go out of your way to make enemies', but they all sound spineless and they all mean Chris Hobbs wins. So he shakes his head, smiling. ] --live as proud as you want as loud as you want - no apologies.

[mediumdrip]

I'm trying to. It's still not exactly easy.

[kingofbabylon]

If it was easy it wouldn't be worth it. [ he sighs ] It's not fair, but it is what it is and if you let it stop you or scare you then they're winning.

[mediumdrip]

Do you mind if I ask what year you're from? I know time can be a little weird in this place.

[kingofbabylon]

2003? Why, is there a future where queers don't get shoved into lockers and hate crimes aren't the latest fad? [ a short sort of laugh. he's might be slightly pissed if there is because ugh fuck his high school life ]

[mediumdrip]

No, but gay marriage is legal in New York.

[kingofbabylon]

...You gotta be shitting me.

[mediumdrip]

Not even a little. It's legal in six states and two more passed it but it's being held up by legal stuff.

Our President stopped supporting DOGMA too. It's only a matter of time before it's legal in all 50 states and recognized by the federal government.

[kingofbabylon]

...Holy shit. [ There's an... incredulous sort of laugh ] Christ, you used to have to go to Canada for that shit. Or just have some bullshit ceremony and pretend people actually recognized it.

...Fuck... that's incredible. [ another disbelieving laugh. look, it's a big thing, okay ] The President? Bush? Did someone get him high and send him into a press conference?

[mediumdrip]

No. His name is Obama. He's kind of amazing, really.

[kingofbabylon]

Uh huh... and this is what year again?

[mediumdrip]

2012.

[kingofbabylon]

Damn. I'll be... shit, 28. Still marriagable age, right? [ He laughs - it's a joke but he might have fantasies that Brian will have to deal with later, lalala ]

[mediumdrip]

I think so. They say 30 is the new 20.

[kingofbabylon]

Do they? Tell Brian that and you'll have his love forever.

[mediumdrip]

[he chuckles] Well, by 2012 how old will he be?

[kingofbabylon]

[ he gives a wide-eyed kind of 'you did not just ask that' look before glancing around... Pausing... And mouthing the word 'forty' silently, as if the proclamation that he will ever be that old alone will summon his wrath from afar. ]

[mediumdrip]

That's really not that bad.

[kingofbabylon]

Just don't mention it to him. Ever. Or the concept of aging.

[mediumdrip]

My lips are sealed.
