Fell in love with a girl, I fell in love once and almost completely
(The White Stripes -- Fell in Love with a Girl)
~*~
Justin's gay. He has been his whole life. He's known a long time too. Ever since he saw Interview With the Vampire when he was 12. He had nightmares for days afterwards, the blood and biting and killing being to much for his young mind to handle. But he also had other dreams. Dreams of pale skin, a broad chest, strong arms and definite hard body parts below the waist as well.
Despite always being gay and always knowing it, Justin loves a girl. He loves bright, fuzzy pink slippers and bright neon PJs that make him nauseous. He loves vegetarian hot dogs that taste like cardboard. He loves nagging phone calls asking 'where the hell is he' and 'would he mind picking up a fresh milk if he ever decides to get his lazy, overfucked ass home'. He loves the smell of lavender vanilla body wash from Bath & Body Works while watching movies. He loves snappy comebacks and hard arm punches when he's being a brat or a princess.
He loves small, soft arms that hold him when he's upset and try to calm him down when he's angry. He loves understanding brown eyes and a warm understanding smile that's always been there for him and makes him feel warm inside, a warmth that grows more and more each day. He loves memories of stealing a small brown haired girl's crayon in kindergarten causing her to cry and he loves the memories of presenting her with the picture of her he used it to draw, causing her to smile and proclaim her eternal love for him. He loves the best friend he could ever have and the best friend who'll always be there for him.
Justin loves Daphne. Always has, always will.
