"are you coming and then staying" line

[alphawolf6711.livejournal.com]

Hey all! It has always struck me as really weird upon reflection of the entire series that in the first episode Brian has the line ending with "are you coming and then staying?" The Brian we come to know and love/hate in the series would NEVER say that to a trick. And so therefore Justin is not a trick to Brian from the very beginning.

Thus I am on the hunt for fic where Brian knows Justin is special from the start. Maybe he had an imaginary friend when he was little that looked like Justin. Maybe he had a vision or recurring dream. Something out there that would explain what made Justin different to Brian as soon as he saw him. Thanks for the help in advance!

I have read fics where Brian muses on his subconscious realizing Justin was more than a trick even though he couldn't consciously admit it because of taking him to the hospital, asking his opinion on Gus's name, letting him spend the night, etc., but I can't think of any specific ones offhand.
