Date: Sun, 12 Mar 2000 15:30:41 -0800 (PST) From: AJ Shukla Subject: Josh and Just/13 ****HEY PEOPLES! I guess I owe all of you a big apology. The last chapter was full of sooooooo many mistakes. I'm sooooo sorry. I was re-reading it right after I sent it in and I saw soooooooooo many errors. It was my fault. Sometimes I rush in turning it in that I never really proof read it. I'll try to catch my mistakes now. Anyways. I want all of you to read this and write me if you can. I will try awfully hard to reply ASAP. Wipeout211@yahoo.com is the place and I can't wait to read your replies. Welp on with the show!! Josh and Just 13 "Hello?" It was a faint sound but he could here JC talking into the receiver of the phone tiredly. He could almost see JC rubbing the sleep out of his eyes and letting out a yawn. He didn't have to open his eyes to see it. But he did. Justin cracked open one eye and watched JC talk into the phone with his sleek muscular back face him. Justin inched over slowly toward Justin. He finally reached his boyfriend within in seconds. Justin kissed the middle of JC's back. JC smiled while talking into the phone. "Yeah he's fine. He came in yesterday and Just picked him up. He stayed with us before we went back to the hotel and then we went clubbing." JC explained. Justin began to contemplate who it could be. JC's Mom? JC's Dad? Heather? "Oh shut up. You're just jealous." JC said into the phone. Definitely Heather, Justin concluded. He placed his head down on the pillow but kept close to JC. "You know you are really rude for calling us this early. It may be nine o'clock for you but it's six o'clock here!" JC replied. Justin snickered, knowing that JC wasn't really a morning person. "Yeah he's here." JC said before passing the phone to Justin. Justin cleared his throat before placing the phone to his ear. "Hello?" Justin asked. "Hey Sexy. How is JC treating you?" Heather asked. "Well down right terrible. He bought me red roses the other day when I specifically asked for white!" Justin joked. He heard a laugh from the other end. "Well I just want to check on you two and my other brother. How's he doing? Is he bothering you two?" Heather asked. "Oh he's fine. He's actually sleeping right now. I'll tell him you called." Justin responded. "Okay. Well give my best to Lance, Chris and Joey. Oh and Britney too. Tell her that we still have to check out that store together." Heather stated. "Huh?" Justin asked. "Just tell her. She'll understand." Heather replied. "Okay. Anything else or can we go back to bed now?" Justin asked. "No I guess you guys can go to sleep. Just be sure to call me every now and then. Work can get a bit boring." Heather laughed. "Okay, Bye Heather." Justin said, before hanging up the phone. Justin laid back down in bed and turned toward JC. "She's adorable." Justin verbalized. "That's nice." JC replied, trying to get some sleep. Justin laughed to himself before laying down next to JC and closing his eyes. Justin walked onto the stage with Seth clutching his hand. Seth looked about in all directions, trying to understand what was going on. He also searched for his mother, Jennie. Justin walked him to the middle of the stage where the guys stood either toweling their face off or guzzling down a bottle of water. JC smiled at the sight of Justin and ran over to him. He quickly ran the towel over Justin's face and threw it onto his own shoulder. "Hey Seth! How's it going Munchkin?" JC asked as he scooped up the child into his arms. Seth giggled at JC. "Fine." Seth cooed. JC chuckled and looked at Justin. He noticed that Justin was staring at him with a smile covering his face. "What?" JC asked. Justin watched while Seth played with JC's chain which was tied securely around his neck. "Nothing. Just thinking how you are going to be the perfect father one day." Justin said walking past JC to the rest. JC stood stunned for a minute before whirling around to face Justin. "Justin you aren't pregnant are you?" JC asked, with a small laugh. Justin gave a smirk and walked back to JC. JC placed Seth down, who ran to Joey speedily. Justin placed his hands on JC's abdomens and toyed with JC's shirt. "I love you." Justin said to him. "I love you too." JC grinned. Justin hugged JC briefly before placing a kiss on his cheek. He took a hold of JC's arm and dragged him to the center of the stage. "Okay you two! I need to know something. Do you want to come to Freddie's movie premiere? Does Tyler want to go?" Britney asked, with a cell phone placed at her ear. Justin turned to JC and gave a questioning look. "I'm up for it. How bout you Josh?" Justin asked. "Yeah sure. And Tyler wants to go." JC replied. "How do you know? You haven't even asked him yet." Lance chuckled. "He's my brother! I know these things. It's like telepathy." JC joked. "Yeah sure. Whatever." Britney smiled. She turned back to the phone. "Hey Freddie? The guys and JC's brother are in." Britney said into the phone. "Okay and how about you?" Freddie asked. "Of course I'm in. I wouldn't miss this for the world." Britney responded. "Great. I'll see you soon?" Freddie inquired. "Yup." Britney replied, moving away slowly from the group. Justin watched as his friend drifted from listening ears to have a private conversation with the person she was dating. He smiled to himself watching his friend find love. "Hey Curly wake up! We have to practice!" Chris said, bopping Justin on the head. Justin turned back toward the guys and took his position. Justin made his way down the second row set of seats where Tyler sat sketching in his sketchpad. Justin took a seat in the chair and watched Britney dance on stage along with her dancers. "Hey Tyler. What ya drawing?" Justin asked, trying to sneak a peak at the picture. Tyler quickly closed the sketchpad and placed it aside. "Nothing. Just some scribbling." Tyler replied. Justin gave him a unfazed look. "Why don't I believe you?" Justin asked. Tyler shrugged his shoulders before casting his eyes toward the stage. "Okay well if it's that big of a secret than I guess I'm cool with it." Justin replied. "Thanks Just." Tyler responded. "So are you bored out of your mind?" Justin asked. "Not really………Well actually maybe a little." Tyler said. Justin gave off a laugh and nodded in understanding. "Well you could always check out SF. But don't worry, we're heading to LA tomorrow after the concert. We'll head to Disneyland or something." Justin promised. Tyler nodded. "Thanks Justin. You know that we've always thought of you as a brother right? Mom and Dad see you as another son. Heather and I think of you as another brother." Tyler said. "Yes I know. And I want you to know that I consider your family part of mine as well. And I don't want anything to change that." Justin said nudging Tyler. Tyler nodded and looked toward Justin and then JC. "You know what? I'm never going to be an uncle." Tyler claimed. "Why do you say that. You always have Heather." Justin proposed. "No I don't. No man is stupid enough to marry her." Tyler joked. Justin began to chuckle along with Tyler. JC watched happily while his brother and Justin conversed with each other. He watched as the two talked as if they were brothers. He knew that Justin had a way with everyone. That was what he loved about him. He had a way of getting on everybody's good side and never losing that spot. Tyler had never liked any of JC's girlfriends before. Maybe it was because Justin had already known the family for so many years or maybe because Tyler had always been able to connect with Justin. They were like two peas in a pod. JC knew that if Tyler liked Justin as his boyfriend than the whole family was sure to like him. Heather already did. And his parents have a fondness to Justin already. Maybe the whole gay thing might burn a bridge or two but they might not mind it either. "JC? You there?" Britney asked. JC shook his thoughts out of his head and looked at Britney's worried face. "Yeah I'm fine. Just thinking." JC claimed. "Anything you want to talk about?" Britney asked, taking a seat next to JC. "Not really. Nothing important. Just me thinking about Justin." JC replied. "You guys are cute together." Britney nodded. "Thanks. I don't know. It's just something about him that makes my knees weak and makes me swoon at every smile he flashes. He has this effect on me." JC claimed. "Your in love. You're supposed to feel that way." Britney replied. "I think I'm going to tell my parents about him." JC thought out loud. "You mean when we head to Virginia right?" Britney asked cautiously. "No I mean, call them and tell them. I just want everyone I love to know who I love." JC stated. "What?" Britney asked, getting lost in JC's words. "I want my whole family to know that I love Justin." JC stated, clearer. "So when are you going to tell them?" Britney asked. "Probably tonight if Tyler calls them." JC replied. "If Tyler calls who?" Justin asked, walking up to Britney and JC. "I'm going to tell my parents about you tonight." JC said happily. "Are you sure Josh?" Justin asked. "Yeah. I'm ready. Are you ready?" JC asked in return. "I'm ready." Justin replied. "And I'm ready to leave this conversation because it is confusing me." Britney exclaimed, walking away. Chris stepped out of the elevator and walked to Jennie's room. He tapped on the door lightly and waited for a response. Jennie opened the door exhaustedly and looked at Chris tiredly. She tucked a few misplaced strands of hair behind her ear before wiping the sweat from her upper lip. "Wow you look like you've been running for miles." Chris laughed. "Yes I've been running. But after a little child who refuses to go to bed." Jennie huffed. "I'll get JC. He can put anyone to sleep. Whether it be through talking or his singing." Chris joked. "Oh don't worry about it. Seth's will wear out sooner or later." Jennie promised. Chris nodded and looked back at her. "Is there anything I can help you with? Would like to come in?" Jennie asked. Chris nodded and walked in. "Well I was wondering. There is this person I keep bumping into. She is a part of the crew I think. Her name is Sarah. Anyways. I was wondering what she does." Chris inquired. "The only Sarah I know of is a part of show dates and schedules. She's a petite little girl? Maybe about two inches shorter than you? Brown hair? Hazel eyes? Real spunky?" Jennie inquired herself. "Yeah that one. So she is involved with schedules. Not like security or anything right?" Chris asked. "No. Not at all. Why do you ask?" Jennie laughed. "Because where ever I go I always bump into her." Chris said, shrugging his shoulders. "Well maybe it's all coincidence." Jennie suggested. "Maybe. Anyway. I'll let you go and deal with that little monster." Chris laughed. He stood and made his way to the door. He opened the door and walked outside only to fall to the floor by someone running into him. He let out a sigh and sat up. He looked around and a small stack of files strewn all over the floor. His eyes made their way to the person he had bumped into and let out an exasperated sigh. His eyes fell on Sarah who looked perturbed. Her eyes soon caught his and were soon full of anger. "Why do you keep doing this?" Sarah stormed, as she propped herself up on her knees while she began to pick up all the files. "Me? You are the on that bumped into me!" Chris replied, brushing off his clothes. "Oh please! Don't flatter yourself. I would never sink as low as to purposely bumping into someone just so I can make physical contact with them. " Sarah claimed, rising to her feet. "I never said anything about physical contact." Chris said, arching an eyebrow. Sarah looked at him shyly. "Oh. . . Well I would love to stay but I have work to do. I can't just sit around in fancy hotel rooms like you all." Sarah said storming by. Chris watched her leave before turning back to Jennie who was leaning against the doorway watching the whole incident. "See?" Chris stated. Jennie just laughed. Her laughter was halted when she heard the sound of a lamp breaking against the floor. "Call JC." Jennie said before running into the hotel room to see what happened to her son. Chris laughed and made his way to JC's room. Justin laid down on the bed. He stared endlessly at the ceiling thinking nothing of it's texture or style. Nothing about the ceiling whatsoever. But mostly about JC. Josh. Joshua. No matter what way he said his name, the thought of him always brought the same feeling. Total and complete happiness. A smile always crosses his face or his knees start to shake. Justin thought about how JC always had a way to make him fall asleep. He felt total safety around him. Justin knew that JC could always be trusted. There was no doubt. Well maybe a few but mostly because JC is constantly getting hit on by everyone in sight. But Justin knew that JC wouldn't hurt him. That was it. The fact that JC was perfect and would never hurt Justin. Was it because of the endless years that they've been friends or the closeness between them. Or maybe it was because they had always seen each other as closer than friends and closer than family. It was indescribable. Justin's attention was caught by the sound of the door opening. JC walked in and tossed his jacket onto the chair. He turned and fell onto the bed next to Justin. He closed his eyes and curled upon the bed. "Hey Josh." Justin said placing a kiss on JC's motionless lips. "Hey Cutie." JC replied., keeping his eyes closed "How was Seth?" Justin said, holding back his laughter. "Seth was fine. It was Chris talking about how much he hated this girl named Sarah that really wore me out." JC responded. Justin smirked and jumped on top of JC. JC let out a groan before turning so that Justin was now straddling his stomach. JC looked up at Justin's smiling face and smiled himself. "You are so beautiful." JC replied. Justin smiled back. "Could you speak to me in French?" Justin asked. JC shrugged and took a hold of Justin's hips. "Okay. Ehhh. Bonjour Monsieur Timberlake. Ca va?" JC spoke. "What did you say?" Justin asked. "I said `Hello Mr. Timberlake. How are you?'." JC replied. "Not like that. I meant just talk to me about you, me, us." Justin laughed. "Oh in that case." JC said, thinking for a moment. "Moi, j'adore tes cheveux. Ils sont tres beau et sont le couleur de ciel. Tes yeux sont le profond bleu. J'ai besoin coucher avec vous toujours. Je vourdrais se cramponner a le soir." JC spoke softly. He stroked Justin's ahir softly while looking up into his eyes. Justin smiled lovingly before climbing off and laying down next to JC. He nuzzled JC's neck softly while he kept close to JC's body. "Do you want to know what I said?" JC asked softly, almost whispering. "Nope." Justin smiled. JC let out a small laugh and kissed Justin's forehead. JC watched as Justin nodded off into a nap. JC slowly pulled his arm out from under Justin and got up. He picked up a blanket from the foot of the bed and placed it around Justin carefully. He broke a smile when he saw Justin curl under the blanket. JC gently walked to the other bed and took a seat next to the nightstand. He sat on the bed staring at the phone for a moment. `It's now or never JC.' JC thought to himself. He picked up and started to dial. He reached the last number and waited as ring after ring sounded through the phone. "Hello?" A voice asked. "Hello Mom? It's JC. I have something to tell you and Dad." JC said quietly. To Be Continued!!!! ***Haha. Left you on a cliffhanger! I'm sorry. I hate cliffhangers too.
