Brian/Howie

[bubbleforest.livejournal.com]

I think I might be one out of the three people out there who loves Howie/Brian. theirloveissotiny! I would absolutely adore a ficlet with these guys. Fluff would be really appreciated (this pairing is pure fluff, I swear), but if something else gets you inspired, go with it.

Oh, and happy Easter! <3

heh. that’s odd. because i always liked howie/brian myself. they’re just so adorable together. (and now i try my hand at writing them *crosses fingers and hopes you don’t hate it*)



“I am so bored,” Nick whines, as he changes the TV channel for the fifty-seventh time. “This place sucks. Even the *porn* is boring.”

AJ raises an eyebrow from where he’s sitting on the bed. “Why are you watching porn on TV when you have the fucking Kirsten and Sandy Cohen on your couch?”

Kevin snorts, but doesn’t look up from the newspaper, and Nick is, as usual, astounded by Kevin’s ability to continuously read anything that depressing. “If you’re expecting a response, AJ, you’re looking at the wrong couple.”

“I know. It’s disgusting. They’re the fucking epitome of *nice*.”

Howie glances up, finally, from where he’s curled up around Brian on the couch. He grins. “It’s okay, Aje. One day we’ll rub off on you.”

General laughter greets that statement. Even Brian snorts.

“Oh, I like that. That was encouraging,” Howie mocks, even as he slides back into Brian’s arms and presses their foreheads together. Brian clasps his hands together around Howie’s neck.

“You’re talking to *AJ*,” Brian says, smothering another grin. “That was all the encouragement I could muster. At least I didn’t choke on my laughter.” He jerks his thumb at Nick, who’s red in the face from giggling, still doubled over.

AJ glares at them, and then thwaps Nick on the head. “You didn’t have to laugh that hard, bitch.”

That sets Nick off all over again.

Even Kevin looks up this time, mouth almost curved. Howie breaks into a small smile, the kind that everyone mistakes for shy, when what it really means is ‘this-really-shouldn’t-be-that-amusing’. “I love when you smile like that,” Brian tells him, as he leans over to kiss Howie. “Really, really love.”

The gagging noise that AJ makes is brushed off as background noise as Howie’s smile grows. “It must love you too. It appears every time you’re around.”

Nick and AJ trade a half-amused, half-annoyed look. “I hate when they get like this,” AJ says, rolling his eyes as Brian and Howie share another giggly kiss.

“Look at it as, um, free porn?” Nick offers, shading his eyes as Brian makes a kissy face and starts singing ‘I Promise You’ and Howie returns the favor with ‘What Makes You Different’.

“It’s schmoop at best!” AJ protests, shuddering as he looks away when Brian nuzzles his face against Howie’s shoulder. “Fucking bad schmoop.”

Brian turns to look at AJ, to whom he’s been sort-of paying attention to. “Aww, but we’re so sweet! Aren’t we, babykins?”

Howie gives him the cheesiest grin he can manage in reply. “I think we are. You’re my sugar pie honey bunch, and that’s a lot of sweet right there.”

“Mmm, wanna lick you,” Brian tells him, linking his fingers with Howie’s.

“I like the way you th—guys?” Howie sits up, looking around. The newspaper is abandoned on the table, and AJ’s bottle of black nail polish is unattended on the bed. Nick’s previously occupied spot on the floor is also, unsurprisingly, vacant. “Guuuys?” Howie singsongs, as he walks to the door and shuts it.

He turns back to Brian triumphantly. “You’re not as nice as you pretend to be,” Howie says, grinning as he rejoins him on the couch.

“How else would we get rid of them? And AJ’s teasing? And Nick’s whining? And Kevin being all boring?”

“I love you,” Howie says, resting his head happily on Brian’s shoulder.

“I love me too,” Brian replies, switching the channel as he slides his arm around Howie. “And you, on occasion.”

Howie just smiles and watches the baboons making out on Discovery.

YES! Oh my God, see, THIS is why there should be more Howie/Brian. They're so CUDDLY. Oh my God. Cloud number nine, right here. I feel very fuzzly right now. Hee!

Kevin snorts, but doesn’t look up from the newspaper, and Nick is, as usual, astounded by Kevin’s ability to continuously read anything that depressing. “If you’re expecting a response, AJ, you’re looking at the wrong couple.”

“I know. It’s disgusting. They’re the fucking epitome of *nice*.”

I love how indignant they're all being in this fic. BWAHAHA, it's so great! AJ is so jealous, I bet he wants in on the fun. OT3! And Howie and Brian being overly SCHMOOPY just to make them all go away and OMG, it's so brilliant and I love it so. freaking. much.

You rule at dialogue. I can't even begin to mention all the lines I loved. I'd end up just pasting the whole thing. Just, yeah, your dialogue kicks ass and I'm so jealous and SO squeeful!

Howie breaks into a small smile, the kind that everyone mistakes for shy, when what it really means is ‘this-really-shouldn’t-be-that-amusing’.

See, that right there? Is just beautiful. I love Howie in all his dorkyness and awkwardness and no one seems to really portray him properly - that right there is nothing short of perfect. Oh, I am in AWE.

And omg, they're GIGGLY, too! ARGH. YOU'RE KILLING ME. *FLAILS*

Howie gives him the cheesiest grin he can manage in reply. “I think we are. You’re my sugar pie honey bunch, and that’s a lot of sweet right there.”

“Mmm, wanna lick you,” Brian tells him, linking his fingers with Howie’s.

*LMFAO* OH THE SCHMOOP! It's beautiful! Brian's line just kills me, because the mental image, akskdsk;sdafajs;AFJsfjaskf[asf oh good God.

“I love you,” Howie says, resting his head happily on Brian’s shoulder.

“I love me too,” Brian replies, switching the channel as he slides his arm around Howie. “And you, on occasion.”

Brian is just love. Oh, he's so deliciously characterized. 'I love me too'! He would SO say that. <3 <3 <3 Argh, oh God, just THANK YOU. SO much! Best thing EVAH! /caps-lock frenzy

*goes to re-read*

you know, you give FANTASTIC feedback. i'm always so nervous after attempting a pairing that i've never done before. and to know that you didn't think it was a disaster is the biggest comfort, ever. heh, cuddly = LOVE.

Lovely!!!! You know, Howie/Brian isn't something I read much of, but they really are cuddly.


Kevin snorts, but doesn’t look up from the newspaper, and Nick is, as usual, astounded by Kevin’s ability to continuously read anything that depressing. “If you’re expecting a response, AJ, you’re looking at the wrong couple.”

“I know. It’s disgusting. They’re the fucking epitome of *nice*.”
