"I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky"

Time to fly
POV: Justin

Time to fly. Away from him. Can I do this? I know I can. But five years...do I want to? Leave him, I mean.

After all, New York is an awful distance, when you measure in feet, as I do.

Pathetic. Even to my ears. Yes, it’s time...time to break away.

I wish he'd beg, though. Get on his knees and beg me to stay with him. But I don't kid myself. I know how it'll be.

No tears. No emotion. "Bye kid. See ya around. Leave me and go live your life. I'll be fine. You will, too."

You will, too...

My Life
POV:  Brian

My life has been a cycle of three time: worry time, wait time, and ready time.

Worry time: Oh, God, a seventeen year old loves me. Oh God, I love him back.

Wait time: No yet…can’t do it.

Ready time: Prom night. Time to tell him.

Worry time: He got bashed. My fault. He’s gonna die…

See? Vicious cycle. Never ends.

Worry time: The club exploded. My God.

Waiting time: I need him back…right?

Ready time: Marry me.

Worry time: You have a job offering in New York? ...when do you leave?

Airport. One last look. My love…

That day I broke the cycle...

"I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye..."

Tears
POV:  Justin

Tears were the last thing I thought I’d see. Brian, sobbing so hard he couldn’t speak…or breathe, for fuck’s sake. Because he was crying. For me.

Do I have any right to lay claim to him? No. I need to give him permission to go on. Be his old self. This person I see now, so unlike the Brian Kinney I first met…I’ve created this. I’ve torn down his walls, his world, the only existence he knew before me. I’ve caused this pain.

Caused him to change.

Or not. Maybe all I’ve done is given him the keys to unlock himself.

Do I have any right to claim him?

Fuck yes. I do.

“Come with me, Brian Kinney.”

Come with me…

"I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And break away
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And break away



I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye, gotta
Take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And break away
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And break away..."
