Prompt:




Valentine's Day


Brian stared at the tacky display of Valentine’s Day bouquets and snorted derisively. What the fuck!? Whoever would want to buy that kind of stuff was way beyond his understanding.

He didn’t like red roses anymore. They reminded him of a time in his life and decisions he’d made that he wasn’t very proud of today.

Yes, Brian Kinney did regrets.

Still, he was here for a reason. He wouldn’t make that kind of mistake again, but no… no red roses.

Looking around the flower shop, the decision was easy. The bright yellow daffodils would be perfect for his Sunshine.

All I can say is simply - awwwww. This was just so sweet, still in character... and just perfect. Brian indeed does do regrets. And, the banner an awesome touch. Loved this, hun. =)

Well, I always understood Brian's decision not to buy the flowers, he has been kinda forced to do it. Doing it now, on his free will, just to make Justin happy, that's ok...:-)
And now I know why you got this user pic!
Have a sunny day!!! Pet

[rainbow1907.livejournal.com]

Yes, the big step is that he's doing it now because he wants to make Justin happy, not because of some silly social rule. Many thanks, Pet! No sunshine here today... Warm hugs, Rena :)

I still just wish Brian had brought those roses. He was just too damn proud. But he ended up buying Justin a country mansion instead, which almost makes up for it :-)

I loved this little drabble, and I can understand Brian's feelings towards the roses. The guy Ethan cheated with brought red roses, too ... so I'm sure Justin would much prefer the daffodils. Something unique and special.

Thanks so much for sharing! *hugs*

Well that's Brian for you ;) No puny roses, he goes right for the stately mansion... is this a case of size matters? LOL
I very much prefer the symbolism of the daffodils to the very clichéd red roses. What's more fitting for Justin than bright sunshine-y spring flowers?
Thanks so much, my dear! And huge hugs from Rena ♥
