“Perfect this will be our next video,” Damien Hanes stated cheerfully interrupting the two boys rutting against one another.

“Wait- wait- wait no I can’t do that on film. I won’t.” Brian spoke up hopping off the bed, quickly grabbing his clothing and slipping on his boxers. They can’t make him do that!

“You can and you will Synyster, you signed a contract with us that states we decide who you fuck and when until you quit this job.” Damien specified practically glaring holes into Brian. He shook his head; they couldn’t make him do this no way in hell!

“I will not have my fucking first on video!” Brian nearly shouted at the producer, who did this asshole think he is honestly?

“Then you and Zacky would match don’t you think? He had his little cherry popped many years ago while getting his head nearly bashed in. I would say you are getting the better end of the deal here.” Damien spat, “This is not up for discussion, either you have your first before the next shoot or in front of the camera you have that choice; I highly doubt that you would quit.”

“I’m this fucking close; you guys have been pushing it for years! I have gone out of my comfort zone more times that I can count and you fuckers just keep getting worse.” Brian’s voice boomed throughout the room, he felt a hand fall on his shoulder. Brian turned around to see Zack standing in front of him, clad in nothing but his boxers and jeans.

“Leave it be, there is no need arguing against them they always get their way because we signed contracts allowing them to.” Zack spoke quietly looking directly into Brian’s eyes, his chest clenched, his heartbeat quickening. Damn heartburn, Zack thought to himself.

Brian nodded looking defeated; if he had to do this the producer was right he could lose his anal virginity off set but to whom? There was no one really special in his life right now; he didn’t have a boyfriend or even anyone he was dating. “When do we start shooting?” Brian wondered out loud.

“You have until Thursday to prepare thought it would be easier if you didn’t have sex with anyone besides Vengeance so we don’t have to test either of you before the shoot. Just letting you know.” Damien hinted before walking from the room, great now Brian didn’t even get to choose his own partner. Zack would automatically think that meant that Brian would have sex with him and he would wind up losing it to a guy he didn’t really know.

“It doesn’t have to be me Brian.” Zack reassured him quietly not even knowing if Brian knew he was thinking aloud. “Even if you do lose it to me we have nearly a week to get to know one another a bit better.”

“Who else is there?” Brian asked wracking his brain but staring directly at me, “It will have to be you Zack I don’t really socialize outside of work and there is no way in hell I am taking any of the guys that work here to bed on a personal level, without the cameras. You on the other hand, we started fooling around before we even got on set today.”

That’s how they wound up at that small diner down the street from work again. Brian and Zack had just received two plates of broccoli and beef along with a giant bowl of Chow mein to split between themselves. Both men tried not to knock elbows while dishing out their food but it was inevitable with them sitting side by side in a booth. The table connected into the wall on one side and the other was open for them to exit. I don’t know why they didn’t sit across from one another but whatever.

Brian had just begun digging into his food when he noticed someone sitting to his left watching him. The woman had to be about thirty or so; she was fairly pretty with long auburn hair and thin lips. Brian turned his attention back to his plate and proceeded to enjoy his meal.

“Okay so tell me a bit about yourself.” Zack stated happily enjoying the meal set out in front of him. Brian turned his attention to Zack and swallowed his food before speaking.

“What do you want to know?” Brian asked, taking a drink of his water he looked out of the corner of his eye and saw that the woman’s gaze was still on him.

“Well what are you like outside of work?” Zack asked looking over Brian’s shoulder to see what he was looking at. He noticed the woman and quickly turned away, if Brian wanted to flirt then he could. Zack just didn’t understand why his stomach got so sick all of the sudden.

“Well love playing guitar on my down time, I find myself writing lyrics pretty often too. My friend Jimmy thinks I should join his band. It’s quite funny to see him get so excited about it; he tends to get really hyper. Um, I am currently going to college, I am doing online to get my medical degree.” Brian spoke quietly watching Zack’s reactions change a little bit with each answer.

“What about your family?” Zack asked not knowing exactly what he had just gotten himself into. Brian’s gaze met his for a few seconds before breaking away.

“My dad and I have a strained relationship.” Brian forced out, he sighed looking anywhere but Zack. His eyes just happened to land on that woman again. “Can we talk about this later?”

“Yeah sure, can you let me out of the booth really fast?” Zack asked, Brian nodded and climbed from his seat, letting Zack exit before sitting once more. “I am going to the bathroom that should get you enough time to at least get her number.” Zack sighed before walking off.

When Zack returned he saw Brian in the same exact position he had left him in. Did he not have enough nerve to go talk to that lady? That awful sickness he had been feeling seemed to disappear slowly as he walked back to the booth. Brian smiled up at him when he returned, it was sad but none the less a smile. When he took his original seat Zack resumed eating like he had never left.

“I’m not interested in her Zack.” Brian spoke quite clearly, Zack looked up from his plate and nodded at his friend, wanting him to continue. “She reminds me of my sister.”

“Your sister, she seems to be fucking you with her eyes.” Zack pointed out with a smile on his lips, he leaned over and whispered in Brian’s ear. “I wonder if she can tell that you just had sex, your hair is a bit messed up.” Brian’s hand immediately went to his hair smoothing it down as much as he could.

“No way! You ass I brushed it before we left. Don’t say stuff like that in the middle of a restaurant unless you want paid back ten times worse.” Brian grumbled knowing that Zack was just messing with him.

“Aww, I’m not all that sorry but I can say I am if you want me too.” Zack joked back trying to get his friend to smile not realizing that Brian had a blush on his cheeks from being reminded of what they had just done.

When Zack finally caught on to why Brian was being so quiet the brown eyed man had made eye contact with him. Zack’s mile faltered a bit but stayed in place for the most part. Brian slowly leaned towards him a bit and placed a light kiss next to Zack’s lips. The younger man was stunned for a few seconds before he turned to Brian. “You trying to ward her away?” Zack asked looking up at Brian.

“A little bit yes,” Brian stated before pressing his lips fully against Zack’s in a tender kiss. Zack responded immediately, gently sucking and nibbling at Brian’s top lip. They broke away from the seemingly innocent kiss, Zack turned to the side a bit to see if the lady was still interested and realized she was already gone.

After I had paid for our diner even with Brian’s protests we decided to head home for the night. I smiled at Brian before getting into my car and heading home. Thinking about the diner I would plan for tomorrow night at my house.
