Marriage, a Drabble.

Title: Marriage
Timeline: Post-513

* * *

Brian always said he'd never do love. Never do marriage. His parents saw to that. His father with his fists, his mother with her words.

It was all bullshit anyway, a farce. Something for straights and dykes. Something to pass the time but never something real. You're the only one that's real. You're the only one you've got. It was his mantra for years.

And yet, Brian loves Justin fiercely. And he knows Justin will be the only one he'll ever love. And he'll love him forever. This is real, he thinks.

They're kind of married after all, he thinks.

To Brian marriage equals misery, like his parents had. He doesn't want that for himself, he doesn't want that for Justin. It doesn't mean he loves him any less than Michael loves Ben. In fact he loves him more.

Glad you liked it!

True "marriages" happen in the mind and heart, the celebration in churches or on beaches or at the JP is just the public manifestation of that commitment.

You have it completely right here

XOXOXOXOXO

Wonderful summation of Brian’s view. I’m very impressed that you did that in 100 words – and so well!
