This is probably going to be a weird request. But here goes...
I found a single chapter for this story saved on my computer, probably from a couple of years ago, and I would really like to read the rest of it, but I don't have a title or author to go with it, and I have no idea where it came from. I can't really figure out the timeframe either. Apparantly Justin has had an accident or been bashed and is in a wheelchair. He's living away from Pittsburgh, possibly in New York, and Brian has come to take care of him...
Does anyone have any idea where this story could have come from? Even just a title would be really helpful. Thanks.
It has this scene in it:
<lj-cut text=>
"**********...since he had gotten out of the hospital, Justin had tried to get back to life, like nothing was wrong. Unfortunately that was no longer an option. He was quickly discovering that his life would never be the same. He was feeling trapped in his own home, unable to do what he wanted. Brian was always around, unless he was at work, and Justin was almost ready to tell Brian to get out, and leave him alone for a while. Brian wasn’t hovering, or babying him, it was just that Justin felt like he was holding Brian back in some way – not that Brian would see it that way, but it was the way that Justin was feeling.
Brian made his way over to the chair next to Justin. “Justin,” Brian said, trying to get the young man’s attention. When Justin turned to face him, Brian almost changed his mind. Taking a deep breath, Brian steeled his nerves. “We need to talk.”
Brian noticed Justin’s eyes widen, and an eyebrow raise. “About?”
Brian watched as Justin started tapping the letter opener against his right hand, and Brian tried not to grab the object out of his hand. He knew that Justin suspected what he wanted to talk about and that he didn’t want to. Brian just looked Justin in the eye. “You know what about.”
Brian watched as Justin quickly turned away, and tried to move the wheelchair away from Brian. “No.”
“Justin,” Brian quietly said.
”I don’t want to talk about it. So drop it.”
“Justin, we can’t just drop it. This shit has been sitting here like a fucking elephant.” Brian hoped that he could explain to Justin the need to get things out in the open. He noticed Justin begin to dig the letter opener into his skin, and Brian reached over, grabbed the object, and threw it to the other side of the room. “Now, fucking stop trying to hurt yourself, and get me to change the subject. We’re going to talk.”
”No. Okay, forget about it. It’s in the past, and we can just fucking leave it there. So forget it, I’m not talking about it.” Justin began to get frustrated as he tried to get the chair to move, but Brian was standing in Justin’s way. “Move!”
“No, not until we talk about this,” Brian said, standing firm.
”You? You want to talk? Well guess what, I don’t. So move your ass so that I can get ready for bed,” Justin said trying to push past Brian. Brian quickly picked up Justin from the chair and moved him toward the couch. “Put me down! Dammit, Brian.”
Brian carefully placed Justin on the couch, and sat down beside him. “Now you can’t get away.” Brian reached over to a very upset Justin, and pulled the young man’s right hand into his own. Small droplets of blood began to stain the pale skin. Brian grabbed the napkin that he had left on the table and placed it over Justin’s hand, hoping to stop the blood. “Why? Why the fuck did you do this,” he cursed.
Justin just looked down at his hand confused. Brian could tell that Justin didn’t even know that he had done it, and that frightened Brian even more. “I don’t know. . . I didn’t. . . I don’t know.”
Brian reached his hand to raise Justin’s chin so he could look in the other man’s eyes. He could see the confusion in his blue eyes, clouding them. “It’s okay.”
“IT’S NOT OKAY! Nothing will ever be okay anymore, Brian. What the fuck did I do?” Justin asked, trying to turn his face from Brian’s grasp.
“Justin. . .we need to talk about it. Listen. It’s the only way.”
“No,” Justin persisted.
“Fine, then you’ll listen to me for once.”
Brian heard Justin laugh, and shake his head. “Yeah, like you’ve ever been one to talk, Brian. This is a first. Let me get the calendar so we can commemorate it in years to come. Brian Kinney wants to talk,” Justin said cruelly."</lj-cut>
Edit: Found it. It's "For All Time" by Acacia. Thank you to esmaro for knowing what story this was. Link in the comments.

Without the spaces at the beginning and the end, of course.
Good luck on the search! ;)

No spaces.
This sounds really familiar so I'm going to look for it. I don't remember much of that cutting part though.
