Justin finds himself wandering disoriented outside gay clubs. Brian walks out of Babylon, a gay club, and makes eye contact with Justin. Justin is drawn to him like a magnet; Brian takes Justin back to his place where the two have sex for the first time.
After their encounter, Justin falls in love with him and wants more but Brian tells him he has a rule, he only sleeps with a guy once. Justin tries a number of things to get Brian to love him back, including competing in (and winning) the "King of Babylon" dance contest, stealing one of Brian's tricks, dancing with guys Brian is interested in, and asking Brian to the prom, among other things. He is eventually able to win him over and the two have sex again.
Despite initially turning him down, Brian shows up at Justin's prom and dances with him, kissing him in front of everybody. Justin described it as "the best night of [his] life." After prom, Justin is bashed by a fellow student, resulting in a two-week coma, and brain damage that causes limited use of his hand. With Brian s help, he was able to overcome his trauma.
The two shared an open relationship for a while but Justin wanted more. He started a relationship with Ethan Gold but ended things when he caught him cheating. In an effort to get Brian back, Justin got a placement at Brian's advertisement agency. After a few tense days, Justin finally managed to seduce Brian. The two sabotaged Chief Jim Stockwell's ad campaign. They seemed happy for a time but Justin wanted to settle down and Brian didn't so they ended their relationship.
When a bomb went off at Babylon, during an event Justin was attending, Brian admitted he loved Justin and asked him to marry him. As the wedding day approached, Justin realized Brian was turn into someone he wasn't and Brian realized Justin was giving up on his art career, so they mutually decided to call things off. Justin moved to New York but promised that Brian would see him often.
