QAF Ficlet: Concerned Citizens for Quality Television

[peggin]

Title: Concerned Citizens for Quality Television
Author: peggin
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Brian & Justin, just hanging out at the loft (a little bit domestic, a little bit humorous, a little bit smutty)
Timeline: Between 310 & 311
Disclaimer: I don't own them; if I did, I probably wouldn't be sharing them with you!

Author's Note: This is for paddies; several months ago I asked people to give me fic challenges (yes, I know, I'm nothing but prompt!), and she asked for domestic/playful/relaxed B/J, sometime between mid season 3 and early season 4.

Inspired by, of all things, an episode of Star Trek: Voyager called Course: Oblivion; a couple lines of dialog are stolen from that episode.

Thank you, shadownyc for the beta!

**********

Brian and I had just gotten back from hanging my "Laughing Stock" posters all around town and Brian said that he had some work to do before he'd be ready to go to bed. As Brian settled himself down in front of his computer, I flopped down on the sofa and turned on the television.

He looked over at me and said, "You can go to bed if you're tired; you don't have to wait for me. I know you haven't gotten much sleep the last couple of nights and I might be a while." Then he stopped and grinned, "Besides, you have to impress your boss at work tomorrow."

I grinned back at him as I responded. "I can wait. Going to bed alone isn't nearly as much fun. Besides, I figure if I do my very best to impress my boss tonight, he might cut me a little slack tomorrow in the office."

Brian didn't even look up from his computer as he replied, "If you really impress your boss tonight, he might want a repeat performance tomorrow in the office."

"Mmmm, I think I might like it if my boss bent me over his desk and had his wicked way with me. Again."

"Why, Mr. Taylor, surely you're not suggesting that you're fucking the boss. That would be completely unethical!"

"Oh, you know me," I replied, "anything to further my career."

He gave me that look of his that drives me crazy, where he puts his tongue in his cheek and kind of leers at me, "Give me about an hour here, then I'll let you show your boss how good a job you can do."

I did my best to appear to be pouting rather than laughing. "A whole hour? I'm not sure I can wait that long, Mr. Kinney."

Brian let out a mock-sigh. "I know how desperate you are for my cock, Sunshine, but you're just going to have to wait until I get a little work done."

Brian turned back to his computer and I watched him working for a minute before I turned back to the television. I flipped through a few channels until I found something promising and settled down to watch.

Or I tried to watch. Brian may have intended his last comment as a joke, but the truth is, sometimes that's exactly how I feel.

I know Brian will never fuck me bareback; I understand all his reasons, and I even agree with them. But I can't deny, even knowing that it's a bad idea -- that it would be dangerous and, let's face it, downright stupid -- there's still a part of me that wants it; that wants to feel him inside of me with no barriers between us. It's not something I can even imagine wanting with anyone else, but with Brian, sometimes I really do want it.

I think that might be part of the reason I love blowing him so much. I love giving blow jobs in general, but with other guys it's just about having fun and getting off. With Brian it's so much more than that. He'd probably laugh at me if I told him this, but blowing Brian is almost a spiritual experience for me, and more than once I've gotten off on it without even touching myself. I love the way his cock feels against my tongue; I crave the musky scent of him and the flavor of his sweat; there are few things in life that excite me more than the taste and texture of his come shooting in my mouth... but most of all, I just love taking that part of him inside of my body with nothing between us.

What can I say? Sometimes I do feel like I'm desperate for his cock.

I was lost in my thoughts, already hard from anticipating the end of the hour, when I heard a voice from the television say, "I fail to see the benefits of a monogamous relationship."

Of course, out of anything anyone on the TV could have said, that was the line that got Brian's attention.

"What are you watching?"

I barely remembered. I had to look back at the TV screen before I could answer. "Um... Star Trek: Voyager."

Brian snorted. "You've been spending too much time with Mikey."

I just shrugged and said, "It's a good show!"

As soon as I finished speaking, Seven of Nine expanded on her earlier sentiment. "By marrying, one limits one's romantic interactions to a single individual -- a circumstance which implies extreme monotony."

Brian looked from the TV back to me, nodded his head, and said, "This is a good show! I approve."

I picked up a pillow and threw it at his head. He ducked it, of course, and returned to work. I returned to ignoring my program while I fantasized about what I was going to be doing in an hour... make that forty-five minutes!

Whoo! You're writing again! ♥

And poor Justin. Getting from Brian and from fucking Star Trek, too. The boy just can't win.

[peggin.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you liked it!

In all fairness to Star Trek, Seven of Nine said that in a conversation with B'Elanna where she was talking about getting married to Tom, so it's not like just one point of view was presented. That's just the comment I would expect Brian to latch on to. :D

[paddies.livejournal.com]

Awww...that was sweet!

I love the office-related banter and I love Justin's "addiction" to Brian's cock (very hot) also, the Star Trek bits cracked me up! :D:D:D

Very nice, thank you so much for writing it! ♥

[peggin.livejournal.com]

I'm so happy you liked it! And really, how could anyone hear those lines from ST: Voyager and *not* immediately think of Brian Kinney?

[tamalinn.livejournal.com]

i love their office banter. hee! oh, and welcome back to LJ!!

[peggin.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It's good to actually have some free time again!

[rae-1985.livejournal.com]

The image of them sitting around that weekend watching Voyager makes me giggle so much. Hmmmm. I wonder which character they would pick as the hottest. My money is on Tom. (Yes, I am that big of a nerd.)

I completely understand why Justin is desperate for Brian's cock. Who wouldn't be?

[peggin.livejournal.com]

Well, I think they *should* pick Tom... because if they did, they'd be right!

And, yeah, I totally agree... I never got the whole "blow job equality" thing a lot of people were hung up on a couple of years ago. I don't care if Justin gives 100 blow jobs for every one he receives, I'm still convinced Justin is 100% (or more) satisfied with his sex life with Brian. And I think that doubly so now, after reading a few original fics by gay men, and seeing how many of them rhapsodize over the joys of sucking cock. Equality in a sex life doesn't mean each partner does the exact same things to each other the exact same number of times. It means they each get to do exactly the things they each like to do. And I'm not hearing Justin complaining.

[rae-1985.livejournal.com]

I never understood those complaints either. Justin obviously liked doing it, or he would have said something. Plus, it's not like Brian doesn't give different things to Justin. Just because they aren't the same things doesn't mean they aren't equals.

[peggin.livejournal.com]

Yup, exactly. Like in 407, when Justin told Brian his plans for the evening, it wasn't about how he wanted Brian to suck him more often, or that he wanted to top more often, it was about how he wanted to suck Brian's beautiful cock, he wanted Brian to rim him, then he wanted Brian to fuck him into the mattress.

I'm sure Justin likes to get sucked, and that he likes to top... but I'd bet, if given a choice, that for the rest of his life, he could only either suck or get sucked, he would choose to do the sucking. And if you gave him the choice of never again topping or never again bottoming, I don't think he'd even hesitate before giving up topping forever. To me, that's one of the things that makes them perfect for each other -- not that they each want the exact same things, but that the things each of them likes to do best compliment each other so perfectly.

[rae-1985.livejournal.com]

That pretty much sums it up perfectly, and is why I don't understand some people. Some writers drive me crazy with that equality stuff. It's like they weren't watching the same show I was. Brian and Justin were different, but equals in everything.

[peggin.livejournal.com]

Yes, exactly. Now you've got me wanting to write my rant on the topic of "Justin is a bottom, he is NOT really a top who only bottoms for Brian" for the 500th time. I think I'll restrain myself, but that fanon convention just irks me so much.

[damietta.livejournal.com]

Ah, the easy banter of S3. It satisfies my curiosity of what they did when they got home from hanging posters!

Enjoyed this a lot.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!

[elisabet-moisio.livejournal.com]

YAY for Justin for anticipating hot hot sex. :D :D :D

Very good and warm-hearted story, and all that good stuff which still doesn't make a fic too fluffy or whatever. :)

Thanks. It was a pleasure to read. :)

[peggin.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[thistle90.livejournal.com]

EEEE!!! I finally got around to reading this and I love it! The boss-employee dialog is so cute and funny and so totally in character! And Damn! That paragraph where Justin thinks about why he likes blowing Brain was one of the hottest things I've read. Which is pretty amazing considering there was no actual sex going on. Love!!

I hope you write some more now that the evils of the tax season are behind you.

[peggin.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!

That paragraph about the blow jobs is kind of my response to all the people who think "equality" in a sex life means "exactly the same". I've seen people speculate about whether the fact that Brian gets a lot more blow jobs than he gives, or rarely lets anyone top him, makes him a "stingy" lover, and I think that's just ridiculous. IMO, one of the things that makes Brian & Justin perfect for each other is the fact that they don't want the same things from each other but rather the things that they each want compliment each other.

BTW, I'm going to see a friend in New Haven next weekend, so I'll probably be passing by your area on my way home Sunday evening. Would you like to meet for dinner or something?

Not only is that ridiculous for the reason you state, but how anyone who's ever watched Brian's practically *worshipful* style of lovemaking to Justin (all the kisses and caresses and besotted looks) could think Brian is a stingy lover to Justin is beyond me. *fans self*

Next Sunday for dinner would be great! Give me a call or email me at my alum address and we can work out the details.

[rebeccama.livejournal.com]

I love the way you write their banter.

Do you mind if I friend you?

[peggin.livejournal.com]

Thanks! And sure you can friend me -- I'll friend you back, because I tend to lock a lot of my posts.

Don't expect a lot of fic from me -- I am about as far from prolific as you can get. You're a lot more likely to see me writing meta posts. If you want to see any of the other stuff I've written, I have all my fic and all my meta posted in my memories.

[rebeccama.livejournal.com]

You're a lot more likely to see me writing meta posts.

I love reading meta.
