OK, that takes care of that.  I want to thank all the people who have
E-mailed me.  Every time I see something from you guys, it brightens my day.
  Sorry it took me so long to get something posted.  There is a bunch of
crap going on right now in my life.

This isn't saying anything about the sexuality of any of the celebs

Steven and Brian chapter 7

"That bastard."  I breathed and calmed down a bit.  "OK, call the rest of
the team and have them get on it.  Counter sue for everything you can
possibly think of.  Call me back when things are rolling."  I walked out of
the room and Gretchen was standing there.
"Very bad?"
"Yes.  Call the house.  I'm going home for a couple of days.  Have a car
here and my plane ready."
"I'll get on it."
"Kevin!"
"What?"  Good, they were back inside.
"Upstairs in my room."  I heard them start up the stairs.  "Howie is suing
me."
"What?!?"
"Howie is suing me for assault."
"He can't do that!"
"Sure he can."
"Damn you Howie.  How could someone I once called my friend do all this?"  I
walked over to Brian and put my arms around him.
"Brian, everything will be fine.  My legal team is in it and I am suing him
right back."
"I just feel like once again, everything is my fault."  Kevin burst in the
room.
"Steven!  It's Howie!"
"I know...how do you know?"
"He called me saying that he dug up some information about you.  I told him
to shut-up.  None of it made sense anyway."
"Well, that adds slander as a charge."
"Add some more."
"What Brian?"
"Add three more.  Sexual harassment, sexual assault, and rape."
"Brian, are you sure you want to do that?"
"Yes.  You protected me against him.  Now it is my turn to get back at the
bastard."
"Very well.  I'll get all this taken care of.  I'm going back to Houston for
a couple of days."
"I'm going with you."
"Brian, you need to stay here and rest."
"No, I'm going with you.  I want to be there.  I need to be there."
"Well, I'm sure as hell not staying!"
"I'm going."
"You not leaving me here all alone!"  I looked up and saw Nick and AJ in the
door.  "OK, get your bags ready.  I am going to shower and get Brian and
myself ready.  We will leave immediately thereafter."
"Steven, I'm so sorry."
"Don't worry about it Kevin.  It's nobody's fault but Howie's."  With that
everybody filed out of the room.  "Brian, I am going to get in the shower.
Do you need anything?"
"No."
"OK.  Brian, get that thought out of your mind.  You did nothing to cause
this.  I love you."
"I love you too."
"I'll be out in about 10 minutes."
"OK."
I went in to the bathroom and quickly showered.  I realized I was throwing
everything around in the bathroom.  I was angry.  More than angry.  I was
pissed.  Howie had screwed with the wrong person.  I grabbed a towel and
dries off.  I wrapped it around my waist and walked out of the bathroom.
Brian was still sitting on the bed but he had been crying.
"Brian what's wrong?"
"Get away from me."
"What?"
"GET AWAY FROM ME!!"
"Brian, what's wrong?  Why are you pushing me away from you?"
"You don't love me!  I don't love you!"
"Brian, what are you talking about?"
"Just let him have me!"  By this time tears were flowing down his cheeks
"What are you talking about?"
"Don't you see?  If he has me, he will leave you alone.  I'm what he's
after.  If he has me you will be safe.  I won't watch you be hurt because of
me.  If I give myself to him, he'll be happy.  I'm not the one you want."
Brian was crying and yelling so loudly that by now the whole house had
rushed into our room.  I walked over to Brian and took him in my arms.
"Get away!"  He struggled to get away.  He pushed, twisted, lashed around,
and pounded me with his fists while he cried.  "Please get away from me.
Get away.  Go away."  His shouting got softer and softer as did his
struggles.  Soon he just lay limp in my arms, and after a couple of minutes,
he returned the hug, only much stronger as he continued to cry on my
shoulder.
"Brian, I am not going to let you go.  What we have it worth defending and I
will defend it with all I have.  You're not going to just give yourself to
anybody.  Do you hear me?  Nobody!"
"I love you.  I'm so sorry."  He sobbed on my shoulder.
"You have nothing to be sorry about."
"Yes I do.  All of this is happening because of me.  If I gave myself to
him, he would have what he wanted."
"Do you want to be his?"
"No, I want to be yours.  You're the one I love."
"Then you are not going."
"But Steven if..."
"I told you I loved you.  You told me you loved me.  I said I would defend
that love, and that is just what I plan to do."
"I just didn't want you to get hurt."
"If you leave, then I would be hurt."
"I just feel responsible for everything that has happened."
"It's not you Brian.  You did nothing to cause this or deserve this."
"I love you so much."
"I love you two Brian.  Forever.  Nobody will ever come between us.  I
promise."
"Thank God one of us is mature and can see clearly."
"Well, the only thing I saw was someone dying inside because they think that
they are hurting someone they love."
"I was.  But once again, you saved me."
We sat there for another minute while Kevin ushered everyone silently out
the door.
"I am so sick of this guys, look at what Howie is doing to Brian and Steven.
  How much longer will Steven be able to take all of this?"
"Kev, Steven loves Brian and Brian loves Steven.  What you just saw was
someone giving all they had for the others happiness.  That is the ultimate
love.  And Steven is fighting back.  He could have just left.  He didn't.  I
think he will be around for a while."
"You're right AJ, I just hate seeing Brian like that."
"I know, but Steven is there for him."
"Yea, I know he will take good care of Brian."

****Back in the room****

"I'll be right back Brian."
"NO!  Please don't leave me!"  He held me tighter.
"Brian, I am just going into the bathroom to get a warm cloth."  He still
didn't let go, so I moved him into a position to pick him up.  I took him
into my arms and carried him into the bathroom.  I sat hi gently on the
marble counter and began to pry his arms from around me.
"Please."
"Brian, I am going to be right here.  I promise.  I won't leave you.
His muscular arms slowly fell, and I stepped away.  He leaned up against the
mirror.  I walked over to the sink and turned on the warm water.  I soaked a
cloth, and walked back over to Brian.  I took his face in my hands and began
to wipe his tear-stained face.  Then, for the first time, he opened his
eyes.
"Brian?"
He threw his arms around me and then pulled back.
"You look so beautiful."
"Brian?  You can see me?"
"Yes!"
"Oh God babe, that great!"  The smile on his face showed how happy he was.
"You were the first thing I saw.  And because of my own stupidity, I might
not have been ever to see you ever."  He began to cry again.  "I am so
sorry.  Please don't be angry with me."
I took the cloth and began to wipe his face again.  "Brian, I am not mad at
you.  Don't worry about it.  Now you can see.  Go throw on some clothes.
You bag is next to the door.  Then we can go downstairs and you can see the
guys."
"Oh, I see how it is.  I get my sight back and now I have to do everything
myself.  By the way, you are really sexy." He spoke as he headed towards the
door.
"Why thank you."  I slapped his butt.
"Don't give me any ideas.  I haven't had any release in a couple of weeks."
"Join the club."
We finished dressing in silence.  Brian had a smile plastered on his face
that spoke volumes about how he felt.  Then he saw the rose and seemed to
look back at all the events of the morning.  His smile faded as tears once
again appeared in his eyes.  He finally stopped dressing and just sat on the
bed with his head in his hands.
"What wrong babe?"  I went over and put my arm around him.
"I was just thinking about everything.  Especially Howie.  I've stopped
blaming myself so don't worry about this morning accruing again.  Thank you
for stopping me from making such a stupid mistake by the way.  Why did all
this happen to me?  To you?  To Kevin, Nick and AJ?  To Howie?  I just have
so many questions and no answers."
"Well Brian, that is why we are going back to Houston.  To get answers."
"And to sue him."
"That too.  Now get dressed so we can leave."
"Oh yea, I finally get to see everything that I missed on the way here."
That seemed to perk him up and he continued to get ready.  A few minutes
later we were both ready to leave.
"So my love, are you ready to go see the guys?"
"Yes.  I haven't done that in a couple of days."
"How true.  Shall we then?" I spoke putting my elbow out like an escort.
"Yes, let us away!"  We both busted out laughing and headed downstairs.
I could hear Kevin and the other guys in the living room.  Everybody looked
up when Brian and I came in the room.
"Brian?"
"Brian walked right through the room and grabbed AJ's carry-on bag.  "Shall
we?"
"Brian?"
"Jeez you guys are slow.  He got it back.  He can see."
"OHMIGOD!!!!  Brian!!!!"  Was shouted as Brian was surrounded by hugs from
the guys.  After things calmed down a little bit we headed to the car and
traveled to the airport.  Upon boarding the plane, I started talking on my
cell phone, setting things up with my lawyers.  About 30 minutes before
landing, everything was in order and I spent the rest of the time just
sitting on the sofa holding hands with Brian.  We soon landed, and once
again, Brian totally missed it.  As we exited the plane and headed towards
my waiting car, two police cars approached us.  Four officers got out and
approached us.
"Yes gentlemen, can I help you?"
"Is one of you Steven Wright?"
"That would be me."
"Sir, you are under arrest for the physical assault of Howie Dorough."
