Brian Kinney: This Is My Life 2/?

Previous parts can be found at previous entries in my LJ. I'd link to it, but I think Brian is taking over cause he says if you can't find it then you don't need to read it. That Brian - he is a bit of a bastard, y'know?

So anyway - part of the Ultimate Mary Sue Challenge that someone else came up with - and most likely I am missing the point, but oh well - I don't really follow directions well - I Give You Part 2 of Brian Kinney living my life:


Brian slumped back at his desk after the meeting with his manager. Apparently, in the quarterly review of fifty of his files, three were found to not have a very simple, mandatory entry. Brian had never missed the entry before and he wondered what could possibly make him so distracted that it would happen now, when he was suddenly seized by an idea for his Invisible Man video.

"If I flash to the mental hospital in 'The Catevari' while Darien is entering Quicksilver Madness, then I can illustrate his fear of losing total control," he thought to himself as the telephone rang, ignored. Brian began scribbling madly on a yellow legal pad. An hour later he looked up when Newly Engaged and Recently Divorced walked by his cubicle. "Lunchtime, already? This day is flying."

Brian waved goodbye to his co-workers and was thankful they did not invite him to Subway. Last week, Newly Engaged had been shocked when Brian confided that while he doubted he would ever marry anyone, if he did - he wasn't changing his name. He was Brian Kinney, dammit. She became very serious and told Brian he was making a grave mistake and that it would be very important to his future husband.

Brian just nodded and thought about Angel. Thinking back on that conversation now, Brian wonders why he would be marrying a man with such a fragile little ego that he would be crushed by Brian wanting to retain the name he has had his entire life. The name that is him in essence. Brian then wondered why he was even thinking about this at all, as marriage is bullshit - or something.

The phone rang and Brian answered it this time - it turned out to be his sister. She didn't answer to Claire, however and seemed to think her name was Dawn.

"What is wrong with you?" Dawn asked. "You seem all weird today."

"I don't know," Brian answered. "I kinda feel like I should be you."

"God, you are so pathetic. I don't have time for this. I've got afternoon spin class and some bullshit seminar thing to go to." With that Dawn hung up the phone and Brian just stared at it, trying to figure out something that felt as if it was just on the tip of his tongue.
