Tumblr request: Brian/Jay fluff where Jay simps for Brian
The first time Jay had met Brian it was like he'd been blindsided by a supernova. The man's charisma could've probably gotten the man anything he'd wanted—Jay certainly would've done anything asked of him. But then there was the aura of warmth that seemed to radiate off Brian like he was the sun itself. His smile and the little gap between his teeth made Jay lose his breath and when Brian laughed he all but melted on the spot from the sound of it. 
	It was clear why Brian had gotten the leading role and it wasn't just because Alex had a very limited amount of people to actually choose from. Although, that certainly had a part to play in it. The effect Brian had on Jay hadn't gone over Alex's head either and he constantly teased him with each unprompted favor or each spontaneous gift of Brian's favorite coffee prior to filming. A simp, Alex called him. Jay never denied it. He'd never been good at hiding things and his crush was so obvious he might as well have written it out on a large sign—with Brian's favorite sunshine yellow as a background color instead of the default white.
	When Brian asked him out, Jay thought he'd died. Maybe he'd spontaneously combusted when he'd seen Brian give that award winning smile while walking directly towards him with a gleam of confidence in his eyes. Out of everyone he'd been asked on a date. Him, boring Jay who typically sat in the background on set and certainly didn't possess even a sliver of the charm the star of the film possessed. But the way Brian looked at him... Jay could never say no. He'd never want to! If he could, he'd give the man anything his heart desired and more.
	"Earth to Jay. You still there?" Alex's voice cut through the hazy of thoughts. He rolled his eyes with a scoff. "Think Brian's shorting out some circuits in your brain. What? You have another date tonight?" 
	Jay blinked and looked at the other man before giving an embarrassed cough. He was so easy to see through. "Uh huh." 
	"Well can you focus on helping finish this scene first? I think I have it written out perfectly but I still thought I'd see what you..." 
	Once again, Alex's voice trailed off into the background as Jay's mind wandered back to Brian and their date tonight. It was one of many now but each time he always felt as though it was the first time all over again. The idea of Brian, who could've gone out with any guy or girl he'd liked, choosing him again and again still sent him into a daze. 
	"I should bring something for him... Nothing too over the top though. Something that isn't too simple or cliche either." He bit his lip, knowing even as he continued to do it that he was overthinking again. 
	A drawn out sigh escaped Alex as he loudly flipped the script back to the first page. Jay was reminded how irritable the man was starting to get. "I think we'll call it for the day. I might see what Amy thinks of it when she comes over this weekend." 
	Jay internally winced, hoping she'd go easy on Alex considering this really wasn't the most original script... It wasn't even the best of the cliches either, though considering there wasn't any budget and Alex was still a student maybe it was to be expected. He'd never met Amy but from what little Alex had mentioned about her, she did speak her mind on things—maybe he would like her constructive criticism. 
	"He doesn't really enjoy Tim's or Sarah's." Jay would admit that the two actors had a little more sass to their comments than necessary. 
	"Right... sorry." He apologized again and shoved his copy of the script into his bag. "I'll see you." 
	"Have fun." Alex didn't look up from the paper until Jay was slinging his bag over his shoulder and about to walk over to his car. A rare look of amusement crossed the director's face. "Don't mark his neck up too bad, got it? I need him to be able to walk for his next shoot too." 
	The blood had never rushed to Jay's face so quickly before when he caught what Alex was implying. The idea alone made his thoughts wander... But no, there really was no need for true concern for either of those jests becoming reality. The date was meant to be something lighthearted and easy, as Brian had mentioned being exhausted by his job.
	Jay suddenly knew just what he'd give him. A smile broke out across his face as he pulled onto the road and headed for his place. 
	"Mmmhh" Brian hummed beneath him, the sound reverberating against Jay's hands. 
	"Does... does it feel good?" Jay slowed and stopped massaging the area over Brian's shoulder blades.
	His boyfriend's head tilted to the side, hazel eyes opening to look at him. "Yeah, why'd ya stop?" 
	Well, at least that meant the hurried tutorial videos he'd watched while frantically trying to clean up and make dinner had paid off. Not that Brian had likely gotten a professional massage to compare this to. But hearing the praise definitely gave Jay more confidence.
	Boldly, he leaned forward, giving Brian a kiss that lingered for a moment before he went back to working on the man's shoulder muscles. He had to admit, this was actually rather nice despite being the one giving the massage rather than receiving it. Gradually, he worked his way down Brian's back while checking in now and then to make sure he wasn't accidentally hurting the other man. The soft look of relaxation on Brian's face as he laid on the couch made Jay's heart stutter. He'd managed to cause the brightest star in his world to somehow look even more heavenly. 
	After being so worried about having Brian come to his place, which in his mind was barren and plain compared to Brian's—even if he didn't have much in terms of decor either. The meal he'd cooked wasn't much either but compared to what he'd seen of Brian's attempts... it was definitely better. Jay's thoughts continued to drift through the night's events so far as he nitpicked and pondered how it might continue to go. 
	"Hey Blue Jay?" 
	Brian shifted beneath him, turning to lie on his back as he looked up at Jay with an apologetic look. The expression on Brian's face surprised him and Jay swallowed nervously even as his boyfriend's arms wrapped reassuringly around his waist. 
	"Yeah?" 
	"Sorry I wasn't feelin' up to going out. Feel kinda bad I made you do everything." 
	Oh. Was he really apologizing for that? Jay hadn't known what to expect but having Brian say he felt bad wasn't it. As many concerns as he'd had preparing for their date, he still enjoyed doing it. Jay enjoyed pampering, borderline worshiping, Brian actually. A small laugh escaped. "It's okay Bri. I wouldn't mind doing something like this again."
	He was shifted again as Brian sat up, keeping him in his lap. Jay's breath was stolen from his lungs as lips pressed against his neck and trailed casually to his own mouth. Blood warmed his cheeks as hands tangled in his hair and he ran his own finger's through Brian's. 
	"I'd like that a lot." Brian pulled back though his hands continued to play with Jay's hair as he studied the script supervisor like he was the most interesting person to ever exist. 
	Jay felt like his heart would burst in the best way possible. He wouldn't mind doing this for days, years even, into the future. As simple as the date was, there was a desire to stay in this moment forever.
