"Ugly Duckling" Justin?

Hi, I'm looking for stories where Brian was not attracted to Justin when he first met him. Maybe Justin was fat, had braces, pimples, wore ugly clothes, or for some reason due to his appearance just did not spark Brian's interest. Or maybe Justin was such a snot-nosed little brat, Brian didn't want anything to do with him. Of course, Justin should go though some sort of transformation (ugly duckling turning into a beautiful swan, if you will) and Brian then wants Justin.

I'm just starting to read "How Sweet It Is" by violette7, where Justin is fat, but Brian only wants him as a friend. From the description, it doesn't seem like Justin slims down, however, so that would not fit my above request.

Update- A few good suggestions in comments, but looking for more!

I seem to remember one, hopefully someone else will remember it to and perhaps direct me/us to it. I can't for the life of me remember the name of it.

Justin was a bit overweight and shy. had a big crush on Brian. Micheal was a "singer" who couldn't sing and Justin did the singing while Michael just lip synched. Michael was very meant to justin. Over time Justin did a make-over and came back......that's about all I remember.
