Date: Sun, 18 Jun 2000 17:06:48 -0700 (PDT) From: AJ Shukla Subject: Josh and Just 26 ****Hey Everyone. Here's a little present to all of you from me. I managed to finish this chapter early. Well I hope you guys like it. Oh and this is the very romantic chapter. Well you'll see. Okay I'm skipping all the thank yous. This chapter because I don't feel like writing them all. Sorry am a little lazy but hey I should be cause I put this looooooong chapter out in just two days. Well have fun! Josh and Just 26 Lance woke up to the sound of Jonathan creeping into the room. He opened his eyes and found Jonathan staring him straight in the face with a giant grin. "Hey Buddy. What are you doing up so early?" Lance asked groggily, his deep voice barely audible. "Justin and JC were sleeping." The boy replied. Lance smiled and sat up in bed. He threw back the covers and stood out of bed. He threw on his robe and took Jonathan's hand. He walked Jonathan outside and walked him to the top of the stairs. "Okay why don't you go downstairs carefully and go watch some cartoons and I'll be down there in a sec okay?" Lance said as he saw Chris walk out of a bedroom. "Okay." Jonathan said as she carefully walked down the stairs while holding the railing. "Morning. I'm going to go check on JC and Justin cause it sounds like they had one helluva day yesterday. I bet they are making out or something already. It must suck having to hide your love life." Lance started. "Too early. Use short words." Chris mumbled. "Oh come on. Be happy." Lance said as she walked to Justin and JC's door. He opened it to see Justin and JC facing each other while laying on their sides. Justin had his chest pressed against JC's and his head resting on the pillow. JC had his head resting half on Justin's head and half on the pillow. There legs were tangled with each other while their arms were tightened around each other. "Awww how cute." Chris cooed. "I thought you were tired." Lance said arching an eyebrow. "They're cute that I couldn't resist." Chris replied. "Yeah whatever." Lance replied. "Do you mind we're trying to sleep here. If you are going to spy on us at least be quiet about it." JC mumbled. "Oops sorry. Go back to being cute." Chris said as he walked out of the room. "All they need is a baby and they'd be a family." Lance laughed as he closed the door again. "Laura!!" Justin yelled up the stairs. "Yeah?" Laura yelled back. "The movie is about to start. And you're the only one that isn't down here yet." Justin replied. "Okay I'm done. Sorry I had to fix my hair. . ." Laura began to explain. "I don't wanna know just go sit down." Justin said following her into the living room. Laura took a seat next to JC on the couch. "Uh. Uh. Uh. That's my seat." Justin replied. "Pleeeeeease?" Laura asked. She put on a cheesy smile as she begged softly. Justin looked around and saw five other sets of teenage girl's eyes on him. He looked back at Laura and then at JC. "Uhm no! Get up." Justin replied as he flashed an imitation of Laura's cheesy grin. Justin kissed her on the head as she got up and then sat down on the couch. JC gave him a smirk and then rolled his eyes. "Why did the guys have to leave us?" Justin asked. "Well Chris was meeting Sarah for like the twelve billionth time. And then Lance and Marissa are taking Britney out to cheer her up. Joey just didn't want to stay and Christina is basically sleeping at her own house." JC concluded. "I'm still here." Tyler said as she walked into the room. "Oh joy." JC said sarcastically. Justin gave a small laugh before turning back to everyone else. He found the same five sets of eyes on him. "What? Watch your movie. It's a good one. More interesting than my conversation." Justin said pointing to the TV screen. All the girls giggled before turning their attention to the screen. JC cast a small smile at Justin before turning back to his brother. "Where's Jonathan?" JC asked. "Napping. In your room. He refuses to sleep anywhere else. He says that's where his brothers sleep and that's where he should sleep." Tyler restated. "He's so cute." JC replied. Justin smiled and looked back to see the five girls looking at him and JC again. "What???? I'm not interesting I'm normal. I'm telling you the movie is a riot. You should watch it." Justin explained. "Thank God They are gone. Now I get to do whatever I want and what I want to do is make out with JC in the den." Justin said taking a hold of JC's hand and dragging him out of the kitchen. JC stopped in his spot causing Justin to continue walking in his place, tugging on JC's arm. "Just, baby, come on you know we have to go swimming now. Jonathan has been waiting all day. Why don't we take a little dip?" JC asked. "Because I want you right now!" Justin whined. "Okay I don't think I should be hearing this." Tyler said as he heard the doorbell sound. He walked out of the kitchen leaving Justin and JC alone. "You know that I love you right? And nothing will ever change that but I am definitely not going to make out with you when there are so many things that can make us stop. I want our time to be together and interruption free." JC said placing his forehead against Justin's. "Hi you guys. How are you two doing?" Joey asked walking into the kitchen with Tyler and Britney trailing behind. "Speaking of interruptions." JC said loudly. He placed a small kiss on the end of Justin's nose before separating from Justin letting only there hand's stay linked together. "Well I was just wondering if you guys wanted to come to our place tonight. Everyone is going to be there for a little get together." Joey said as she rummaged through the fridge. "We'd love t. . ." JC was cut off by Justin speaking up. "Actually we can't. I already made plans for us two. But Tyler will go and so will Jonathan." Justin claimed. "We will?" Tyler asked. Justin gave him a pleading look. "Oh yeah! We will." Tyler covered. "Okay well Jonathan and Tyler can come right now. because we have some setting up to do." Britney spoke. "Okay well tell Jonathan to take his swimming trunks and he can swim at Joey's." JC told his brother. "What do I look like? Your babysitter?" Tyler asked. "Yes. Now get!" JC replied with a chuckle. "So you two get the house all to yourselves!" Joey said giving Justin a little nudge. "Yup." Justin replied as his mind went to work. JC stopped his jeep as he pulled into the driveway of the house he lived in with Justin. `Why did Justin ask me to go shopping now and at this time. Look at it it's dark already. I thought he wanted this alone time for us, not for me to go shopping for groceries. Why did I agree to go?' JC thought. He flipped down his sun visor and saw the picture of Justin he had clipped up. He smiled when he saw Justin's smile. The way it curved and accented the twinkle in his eye. "That's why." JC said with a smile. He put his sun visor back up and took the keys out of the ignition. He lifted the bags out of the front driver seat and climbed out of the car himself. He closed the door to the car and made his way to the front door. He looked won at his keys and struggled with his fingers to find the right key. He found it and opened the door. "Justin! I'm home!" JC said as he closed the door behind him. He turned toward the staircase and was shocked at what he saw. On every other step and small lit candle was placed. Red rose petals made a pathway leading upstairs. JC put down the paper grocery bags at the side of the door and started to follow the rose petals. When he reached the top he found small candles leading to the room he slept in with Justin. He followed the white candles to the door where he found a small not. "Dear Josh. Stop reading this note and come in already." JC read out loud. He smiled to himself before opening the door. He was in shock at what he saw. The room was dimly lit making the mood instantly romantic. Candles were placed on every table, stand, dresser, and cabinet. The four post bed that he shared with Justin had it's net-like curtains pulled closed. JC could see Justin's figure laying on the bed waiting patiently. JC walked to the side of the bed and pulled back the curtain to the bed. He looked inside and saw Justin smiling back at him in a black silk robe. "Hey Sweety." Justin said rising from the bed to kneel in front of JC who was standing next to the bed. Justin started to play with the collar of JC's shirt every once in a while placing a small kiss at the base of JC's neck. JC moaned with pleasure as Justin kissed him ever-so-softly. Justin pulled the button-down shirt off of JC's shoulders revealing a white wife-beater. Justin placed a small kiss at JC's collar bone. Justin wrapped both arms around JC's neck and gave him a passionate kiss on the lips. JC couldn't help but to wrap his arms around Justin's waist. Justin leaned back onto the bed allowing JC to lay down on top of him. the two kissed each other continuously while Justin ran his hands over JC's back lovingly. JC ran his fingers through Justin's hair while furthering the kiss. Justin and JC began to slowly grind their bodies together. Justin rolled over causing JC to lay on his back while Justin straddled JC's hips. Justin leaned down and gave JC another kiss. His hands went down to the sides of JC's wife-beater and instantly started to pull it up. The two separated for a second allowing the article of clothing to be shed. JC's hand led down to the strip of clothe that held Justin's robe closed. His hands fumbled a bit with the knot before undoing the robe. He let his hands travel around Justin's waist feeling that he had a pair of black silk boxers on. The two once again rolled over with JC laying on top of Justin. Justin tilted his head back when JC's started to kiss Justin's neck lovingly. He let out a small moan. JC's hand stayed firmly at Justin's abdomens letting his thumb brush over Justin's naval. Justin allowed a gasp to escape his lips. JC kissed the base of Justin's neck softly taking in the scent of his lover. "I love you Justin." JC mumbled continuing on to kiss Justin's shoulder. Justin pulled JC up so that their eyes were in front of each other. "I love you Josh." Justin whispered before giving him a kiss. The two rolled over so that Justin laid on JC. Justin sat up so he was straddling JC again. His hands started to undo JC's belt. JC looked at Justin with a small smile while Justin undid the button to his jeans. Justin pulled the jeans down to JC's ankles and let out a sigh. "You couldn't have taken your shoes off?" Justin asked. Looking back at JC. "Sorry did I ruin the moment?" JC asked timidly. "Hello no. We're not going out without a fight." Justin said as he took a hold of JC's shoes and slid them off with one sweep. Justin yanked off JC's jeans leaving his boyfriend in only socks and a pair of red boxers. "Ooo red. Romantic." Justin said as she seductively started to crawl with his hands and knees on either side of JC's body. "If you like them so much, you'll like the present they have for you." JC whispered in Justin's ear, propping himself up with his elbows. Justin pushed him back flat on the bed. Justin started to kiss JC once again. the two laid together for what seemed like hours kissing one another totally oblivious to the rest of the world. "JC?" Justin asked as he let out a small pant. "For what sweetheart?' JC asked as she kissed Justin once again. Justin rolled his eyes and stopped JC. He placed both of his hands on either side of JC's face and brought his head face to face with his own. "I'm ready." Justin said more slowly. JC looked at Justin with a little confusion. Suddenly it hit JC. His eyes popped open in surprise. "Oh my god! I mean you are? are you sure? Are you okay with it?" JC started asking. "Yes I am." Justin said reaching to the side of the bed to wear a nightstand was. He pulled out an unopened condom and held it in front of JC. "If you're sure then I guess I am too. I love you sweetheart but if you don't want to do this at anytime then just tell me and I'll stop. Okay? Promise you will tell me whenever you are uncomfortable." JC said. Justin just nodded. "Just?" JC asked. Justin's eyes connected with JC's "I promise." Justin replied. JC gave Justin another kiss. A longer one which was more passionate than anything they had given each other that night. "Well how do you want to do this?" JC asked. Before he even got to finish Justin had slid down JC's body and took the waist band of JC's boxers with his fingers. He lightly pushed down sliding his finger tips across JC's manhood on the way. JC let out a small gasp and let his boxers slide off his legs. Justin slid his boxers off as well revealing his semi-erect penis. Justin watch as JC applied the condom to his hardening tool. He carefully made his way to JC's waist again. He straddled his abs and looked down again. "Remember that I love you no matter what and at any time you feel uncomfortable just tell me okay?" JC said leaning up and kissing the corner of Justin's mouth. Justin kissed JC back before nodding. "Thank you." Justin replied kissing him softly. Justin raised his body up and slowly brought the tip of JC's manhood to the entrance of his body. Justin slowly started to move down. He not only had no fear but was staring into JC's loving eyes the whole time. His thoughts quickly drifted back to that night when he was raped and how that man made such a loving experience so degrading and sleazy. All Justin felt at the moment was the love he shared with JC. A small jolt of pain ran through his body as he moved further down JC's shaft. JC stopped Justin in his spot and forced Justin to look at his eyes. "Do you want to stop?" JC asked wiping away the single tear that escaped Justin's eye with his thumb. Justin shook his head as he slowly start to move himself down. He was about halfway down on JC's tool when JC stopped him again. "Justin you're in pain. I don't want you to be. We'll stop." JC said shaking his head. "No Whenever we choose to do this again I am going to be in pain. And I want us to be together tonight." Justin replied. He looked down at JC and waited for his approval. JC leaned up and gave Justin and small kiss. Justin slowly began his motion down again. It wasn't long until he felt himself resting fully on JC's pelvis. JC looked at Justin's face lovingly. He let his hand cupped Justin's cheek and caressed it gently. Justin leaned down and placed a small kiss on JC's lips. Justin took a deep breathe before beginning his rise up JC's pole. Justin found that soon his rise and decent weren't as painful as the first couple. After a short period of time pleasure took over as the pain diminished. He heard small moans rose from JC as he moved up and down more. It was natural. No one told Justin what to do next. He kind of already knew. He started to move faster. JC's hand moved to Justin's hardened member and held it firmly as Justin moved up and down. Justin let out gasps of his own as he felt pleasure roll through his body. Justin and JC let out moans together every once in awhile locking in a kiss together. It wasn't long until Justin and JC felt themselves close. Justin let out a gasp which signified his seed pouring onto JC's taut stomach. JC titled his head back and let out an equal gasp as he filled the condom. Justin slid off JC and laid down next to him. he rested his head on JC's slightly sweat glazed chest and heard the sound of JC's heartbeat pounding. Justin reached down and carefully took the condom off JC's softening penis. He pulled a couple of tissues out of the box on the side and started to wipe off JC's chest and stomach. He wrapped the condom in the tissues and slowly got up. He made his way to the bathroom to throw it away. Justin walked out of the bathroom and stared at JC's naked form as he laid on the bed. Justin laid down Next to JC and looked at his face. Justin gave a look of disgust when he saw that JC had fallen asleep. "I can't believe he fell asleep." Justin whispered to himself as he turned his back to JC. "Who fell asleep." JC said. Justin looked back at JC who was now laying on his side staring at Justin with a grin. JC looked at Justin's face then at his back which was facing him. Justin rolled his eyes with a smile. JC placed his arms around Justin's waist and pulled him against his chest. JC placed his cheek next to Justin's as he held him close. "Ew your all sweaty." Justin said as she felt the moisture on his back. "And who's fault was that?" JC snickered. Justin placed his arms on JC's which circled waist. "I love you soo much." Justin whispered. "I love you more." JC replied. Justin turned his head and placed a kiss on JC's cheek before turning it again so JC could place his cheek to Justin's. "Are you in any pain?" JC asked worriedly. "No just pleasure." Justin replied letting his hands travel up and down JC's arms. "Are you sure?" JC asked. "I'm fine now but tomorrow I'm going to have a hard time walking tomorrow." Justin replied. "No you aren't. I'm carrying you everywhere." JC whispered into Justin's ear before kissing it softly. "You're too sweet." Justin replied. "You're too beautiful." JC said lightly kissing the back of Justin's neck. Justin smiled and gave a sigh of happiness. The two laid in each other's arms as the night progressed. Justin opened his eyes and looked around wearily. He saw the aftermath of the night before had been cleaned up. There was not a single rose petal or candle in sight. "Was it a dream?" Justin asked himself groggily. He looked to his side and saw that JC wasn't there. He shifted under the bed and felt a jolt of pain run through him. "Definitely wasn't a dream." Justin said. Slowly adjusting himself to a sitting position. `Wow I gave my virginity to JC.' Justin thought to himself. He looked around and saw the neat room and smiled. The door slowly opened and in walked JC with a bed tray of food. He smiled and walked over to the bed. He placed the tray over Justin's lap and laid down on his side next to Justin. "Good morning Sweetheart." JC said as he leaned in and gave Justin a tender kiss. "Morning Baby." Justin replied, clearing his throat afterward. He looked down at the tray and smiled. "What's this?' Justin asked. "Well those round flat things are called pancakes and that tall cylinder full of that orange liquid is orange juice. And. . ." JC was stopped by Justin hitting him in the shoulder. "I meant all this. The clean room, the breakfast, the cute showered, clean boyfriend laying by my side." Justin asked. "Well I woke up early and decided to clean up so no one walks in and sees burned out candles and flower petals everywhere and I thought I'd make you breakfast in bed so you wouldn't have to walk down to the kitchen." JC said taking Justin's hand in his own and kissing the top of it. "You're too sweet. But I can't finish all this food by myself." Justin said looking down at the freshly cut fruit, pancakes, eggs, sausage and orange juice. "Oh you're not. I'm eating with you." JC said standing on the bed. He almost hit his head on the ceiling but made it around so he was standing behind Justin. He placed both legs on either side of Justin's body as he sat behind him. Justin laughed and leaned back against JC while JC propped himself up against the headboard. JC took a strawberry into his hand and brought it to Justin's lips. Justin took a bite of the fruit and looked down at the rest of food. JC ate the rest of the strawberry and rested his chin on Justin's shoulder. "And after this I'm carrying you into the bathroom for a bath." JC said as he kissed Justin's bare shoulder. "Awww JC you don't have to do that." Justin said as he turned in his spot to lok at JC. He winced in pain as a botl of pain shot through his lower body area. "That's what I thought. I'm carrying you." JC said wrapping both arms around Justin's waist. And hugging him tight. He let one hand go to the try and take the glass of orange juice. JC took a sip and offered it to Justin. "Freshly squeezed." JC said. Justin smiled and took the orange juice. The two continued to eat their breakfast together, chatting about everything. "Oh my Alex! It was soo romantic. This morning he brought me breakfast in bed and he cleaned up and he carries me everywhere because he doesn't want me to walk in pain." Justin cooed as he spoke into the phone. He was laying on the couch with his feet raised on the arm rest. Leo napped on his chest while Justin absent mindedly ran his fingers through the short fur of the dog. "Wow that's so romantic. But I just called to see if Britney was there." Alex joked. "Shut up!" Justin laughed. As he finished the door opened and in walked in Britney, Tyler, and Chris. "Speak of the devil. I'll talk to you later okay?" Justin said before hanging up. "Hey you guys. Where's Jonathan?" Justin asked. "We dropped him off. We were gonna say hi to your mom but she just got this call from Tennessee so we just dropped off Jonathan." Chris said walking in and collapsing onto the couch. Justin sat up with very little pain running through him. The cell phone began to chime through the house. Britney took out her phone and hit the talk button. "Hello?" Britney asked as she laid down with her head in Justin's lap. "Sure use me as a pillow." Justin laughed. "What do you want?" Britney asked bitterly. Justin looked at her with confusion. "No I don't want to talk to you. Leave me alone. Go visit your dear sweet Sarah Michelle she'll keep you company you asshole." Britney said before clicking her phone shut. "Freddie?" Justin asked. "Yup!" Britney said as she dropped the phone into her purse. "It's okay you are gonna do so much better than him. He's just some stupid actor. Us music stars have to stay together." Justin said. Britney smiled at him before closing her eyes. Another phone rang through the house. This time it was the house phone. "I got it!" JC yelled from the kitchen. "Okay Sweety!" Justin yelled back. "Why do you have that ridiculous smile on your face?" Britney asked with a smirk. She examined him closely. "You had sex!" Britney gaped in shock. "How did you know that?" Justin asked in surprise. "It's a girl thing." Britney smiled. She sat up and placed her legs on the coffee table. "You're the first girl I have ever known that has been able to do that." Chris laughed. "Okay, it's a Britney thing." Britney smiled. "Oh my brother is having sex. Not something I want to hear about." Tyler said as he scooped Ozzie into his lap. "Yeah, well, he was really good." Justin said causing a groan from Britney, Tyler, and Chris. JC walked into the room with a somber look on his face. "Just. Sweetheart that was your mom on the phone. I have some bad news." JC said as he crouched in front of Justin. He took Justin's hands within his and looked deeply into his eyes. "Sweety your Aunt Kate passed away last night." JC said softly. Justin's expression changed to a sullen look as the tears welled up in his eyes. Justin instantly began to stand. JC stood with him and held his hands tightly. Justin turned away to walk before turning back and burying his face in JC's shoulder. His tears spilled out as JC's wrapped him in a loving embrace. "Yes that's correct two tickets to Memphis. We'd like them on the next available flight out." JC spoke into the phone. He looked over at Justin who was packing his bag with a blank face. "Okay thank you. We'll pick them up at the gate." JC responded into the phone. "Thank you. Bye." JC said, hanging up the phone. "Just? Baby are you sure you want me to come?" JC asked as he took a step in front of Justin. Justin looked down at the floor sadly. JC took his finger and gently lifted Justin's chin so that they were looking into each other's eyes. "You're sure right? If you don't want me to I can stay here but if you do then just tell me and I'll be there right by your side through everything." JC replied. "I want you to come." Justin voiced. His voice so soft and sad. "Okay Sweety. Why don't you take a little nap and I'll finish packing and I'll make us something small to eat before we head to the airport okay?" JC asked. Justin nodded hugged JC quickly before walking to the bed. He took a hold of the Sleepy doll on the bed and held it while he slept. JC pulled a blanket over him before going through their closets. He pulled out his black suit as well as a black button down shirt and a dark gray tie. He placed it next to Justin's black outfit. And went back to the closet to get their coats. JC placed them down by the rest of the pile of clothes and walked out of the room. He walked down the hall to the hallway bathroom and looked through some drawers. "Josh?" Tyler asked as he poked his head in. "Yeah?" JC replied looking up from the drawer for a brief second. "So what's the deal? What happened?" Tyler asked. "Well Justin's aunt, Lynn's sister, died yesterday after being hit by a car. So we're going to head down there for the funeral and also help her daughter pack up. I think she is going to move to Lynn's house but I'm not sure. Lynn already took an earlier flight there and she'll meet us there. I think we're staying at Randall's house but I'm not sure. I'll call you to tell you where we are, in case you need to get us. " JC replied. "But do you think it's wise that you're going with him. I know right now you two are not going to be able to act straight. You'll be found out." Tyler said worriedly. "Tyler I'm going. If Justin says he wants me there then I'm going to be there for him. I really don't give a damn about who sees us. I'm only worried about Justin." JC said as she slammed the drawer closed. "Hey why are you biting off my head for it. I was just worried that you two are going to be caught. Excuse me for caring about my brother and my friend." Tyler replied. Tyler started to walk out. "Ty. Wait! I'm sorry. It's just things are getting a little tense. I didn't mean it like that. I'm sorry." JC apologized. "Yeah okay." Tyler replied as he looked at his brother. "Do you mind doing me a favor?" JC asked "Yeah sure." Tyler responded. "Do you think you can watch the house while we're gone. And take care of the dogs?" JC asked. "Yeah sure. Just you two be careful and make sure Justin is okay. Cause if he isn't I'm going to kick your ass and you know I can." Tyler replied. "I will. Thanks Ty." JC said as he pulled his brother into a hug. Justin stepped off the plane with an emotionless look on his face. He buttoned up JC's leather jacket which was a size too big for him. His hair was covered with a white bandana while his thin wire framed glassed stayed at the bridge of his nose. His un-tucked T-shirt could be seen from under the sweatshirt he was wearing on top. His sweats were a bit baggy but stayed on his hip tightly. JC followed behind carrying there carry-on luggage. His nylon basketball pants swished as the sweatshirt on his shoulders was two sizes too large. Justin looked around the gate as he stood closely at JC's side. He quickly spotted his father and step mother carrying Jonathan. "Randall! Lisa! Over here." JC said as he waved. Randall walked over and brought Justin into a hug. Justin started to tear up as soon as his father's arms enveloped around him. JC watched as his boyfriend cried on his father's shoulder. "Hi Lisa." JC said giving her a kiss on the cheek. He took Jonathan from her and held him in his arms. "Hey Buddy." JC said looking at him. "Hello." Jonathan said tiredly. JC held him as the boy rested his head on JC's shoulder. JC looked back at Justin who was now ending his hug with his father. Justin took off his glasses and wiped his eyes quickly before putting his glasses back on. "How is Mom?" Justin asked. "She is fine. She's at your Aunt Kate's house getting stuff ready for tomorrow with Paul." Randall said. "And Kelly?" Justin asked. "She's pretty strong. She's at our house right now. I'm going to drop Lisa off with your mother and I'll take you back to the house where you can talk to Kelly." Randall explained as he cupped his son's face in his hand. Justin nodded before taking JC's hand in his conspicuously and gave it a little squeeze. "You know JC why don't you go with Lisa. I think Lynn has a lot of stuff she needs to do and she shouldn't be doing it all. She needs some rest." Randall said as she stopped the car in front of a house. "Okay. Sure thing." JC said, as he unbuckled his seat belt. "Are you gonna be okay Sweetheart?" JC asked. taking Justin's hand in his own. "Yeah. I'll see you back at the house." Justin said nodding =, JC gave him a small kiss before getting out of the car. Justin got out and satin the front seat. "Dad? Where is Kelly moving to?" Justin asked as he adjusted the leather jacket that covered him. "Well they say that she might move to Florida. It was her last year of high school so she might go to a college down there. She could live with your mother or at least call that a home place for awhile before going to college." Randall explained as he drove for a bit. "How is she doing? I mean has she secluded herself or anything?" Justin asked. "No she's just really sad and she basically stayed in your room all day." Randall replied. It wasn't long until they arrived to Justin's childhood home before his parents divorce. Justin stepped out of the car and pulled Jonathan into his arms. He grabbed a couple of his bags while his father got the rest of them. "Justin. Why don't you take you're room and JC can take the spare." Randall suggested. "Dad, it's fine if we sleep in the same bed. We do it every night. And plus I'll be better off with him next to me." Justin said with a sigh. "Well uhm okay." Randall agreed. Justin climbed up the stairs and walked into his old room. He placed his suitcases down and looked at the bed where his cousin, Kelly, laid napping with her eyes red and puffy. Justin made his way to the edge of the bed and took a seat. He ran his hand across the side of Kelly's face softly. Kelly stirred a bit before opening her eyes. Kelly looked up at Justin with shock. "Justin! You're here!" Kelly said as she sprang up and gave Justin a big hug. "Hey Kelly. How are you feeling?" Justin asked as she held her closely. "Terrible. It's so hard Justin. I wish that my life was over and not my Mom's. Why did she have to go?" Kelly asked as she started to sob. "Shhhhh. Kell it's okay. She's somewhere no one can hurt her and she's watching over you right now and basically scowling that you're crying so much. You know how she always hated it when we cried. Remember what she always said?" Justin asked with a small laugh. "That if we cried as adults we'd be making all the babies jealous because they won't be getting any attention." Kelly responded along with Justin. The two broke a small laugh. "So how is everything going?" Kelly asked as she laid on her side on Justin's bed, watching him un-pack. "Everything is good." Justin replied as she took a small picture frame and a Sleepy Doll out of his suitcase and placed them on his desk. "Awww Cute toy! And who's the guy with you in the picture?" Kelly asked as she reached for it. Justin handed them to her. "The guy is my boyfriend and Sleepy is his." Justin replied as he continued to un-pack. He avoided facing Kelly cause he didn't want to deal with the shocked look. "Cute huh?" Justin asked. "Yeah he is." Kelly replied handing him Sleepy and the frame again. "What's his name?" Kelly asked. "JC. You've met him before. He's part of the group. God Kell I know you don't listen to our music but still you should at least know some stuff about my group." Justin joked. "Sor-ry." Kelly replied. "Well don't be. You'll meet him in like an hour hopefully." Justin replied as he hung up his suit in the closet. He hung up JC's suit right next to his. Justin started to unpack JC's bag. "Can't wait." Kelly replied as she let out a small yawn. "You know why don't you get some sleep? You've probably been up since last night." Justin said as he took off JC's leather jacket. "Okay." Kelly agreed as she climbed under the covers. Justin tucked her in before continuing to unpack. Justin lay sleeping in the spare room snuggled up with the Sleepy Doll in his arms with JC's leather jacket around his upper body. He had waited around for JC to arrive but soon fell asleep from all the weariness. "Just? Baby?" Justin heard as his mind floated back to reality. He slowly opened his eyes noticing first the change in light of the room. It was now dark and stars were shining outside. His eyes soon drifted to JC who was staring back at him lovingly. "Hey Cutie. You've been asleep for a couple of hours now and I was wondering if you want to grab a bite to eat." JC whispered as he placed his forehead against Justin's. their noses brushed against each other as they stared at each other. "Okay." Justin replied softly. JC sat back on the bed and waited for Justin to sit up. Justin slowly sat up and looked around. He took the glasses off the nightstand and placed them on. "Have you eaten yet?' Justin asked. "No I was waiting for you." JC replied. "I'm sorry Josh." Justin replied. "For what? Don't be sorry." JC replied as he placed a small kiss on Justin's forehead. "No I'm sorry I brought you here. You shouldn't have to be going through all this." Justin said with tears building up in his eyes. "Justin. Sweetheart. I love you with all my heart and I sure as hell am not going to let you go through this alone. Sorry Mr. Timberlake you are stuck with me." JC replied as he took Justin's hands in his own. Justin gave a small smile and nodded. "Now get up we have to eat or I'm gonna die." JC smiled. Britney walked up the walkway to Justin and JC's house. She walked to the doorstep where she knocked slightly. She heard the yapping of Leo and Ozzie come closer to the door. Lance opened the door and stood back for her to enter. "Hey Brit. What's up?" Lance asked as he closed the door behind her. "Freddie is scum." Britney smiled before walking into the kitchen. Lance gave a small laugh before following her into the kitchen. "Hey Britney." Tyler said as he kissed her on cheek. "Hey you." Britney replied as she walked to the freezer she pulled it open and brought out a large carton of ice cream. She walked to the drawer and pulled out a spoon. She tiredly collapsed onto a stool and opened the carton. "Well I'm going to take a shower." Tyler said as he left the room. Lance watched with amusement as Britney indulged herself in the ice cream slowly. "That bad?" Lance asked. "He was soooo cute and so nice." Britney replied. "To tell you the truth Brit, I hated him. Why do you think I stayed clear of him during the Snowed In thing when we were in California?" Lance asked. "Because Danielle was there." Britney replied. "Well that too." Lance laughed. Lance walked around the counter and took a seat next to her. "You know you are going to find someone else. Who wouldn't resist a beautiful girl like you?" Lance asked. "I don't need anyone else. Just me and my Fudge Mocha Sorbet. That's the only man I need." Brit said taking another bite of ice cream. "Oh come on Brit. You're going to find someone ten times greater than Freddie I just know it." Lance said wrapping an arm around Britney's shoulder for comfort. Britney turned to look Lance in the eyes with a small smile. Lance connected eyes with her. The two stared at each other before slowly leaning toward each other. Lance brushed his lips across Britney's slowly before kissing her more fully. The two kissed each other passionately before separating with a small smile. TBC . . . ****hello all.
