By continuing to read, you affirm under penalties of perjury that you are not a minor or in the company of a minor and are entitled to have access to this story. The following is a fictious story with no real basis or credibility.It is solely for the enjoyment of the reader. It does not imply anything about the sexual preferences or lifestyle of Justin Timberlake or any other celebrities herein mentioned. This is purely entertainment with no credibility. Previously Michael couldn't believe what Justin was doing, why wasn't he turning away from him, why wasn't he treating him like everyone else had. "Please Justin, don't."Michael's voice had a shudder in it. Michael didn't want Justin to stop, he felt so safe wrapped in his arms. Justin pulled back, hesitant about upsetting Michael more. "I just wanted to show you that I care about you man.I am your friend whether you want me to be , or not." Michael slowly looked up at Justin. "This is difficult for me Jus, why do you want my friendship? I am not famous or talented like you.I am not anywhere as interesting as you.I have nothing special that I can give you to make you feel that I deserve your friendship." Michael sat down in the chair Justin had vacated.He hung his hands between his legs and lowered his head. Justin longed to just pick Michael up and hug him for hours.He needed to know how he felt. "Mikey,don't ever say that again."Justin put a bit of forcefulness in his words. Michael hadn't seen Justin like this before. "You are you.Thats what I like about you.YOu are yourself, a decent,kind ,intelligent man, who I find fascinating and I want to develop a mutual friendship with. Don't ever sell yourself short Michael.You have talents that I am in awe of. Man, what you can do with words, blows me away.Your writing is phenominal.And your sense of humor puts a smile on my face. So listen up amigo, your you, thats whats important to me.Just be yourself,thats all I am asking from you." Michael looked up at Justin, his eyes were shimmering. Justin's eyes were starting to water too. "Keep it up Timberlake,and we will need hankies."Michael smiled at Justin, trying to use humor again to break the awkwardness. Justin chuckled and broke into a smile. "Well?" "Ok Jus.I want to get to know you better too.I want to give it a shot." Justin practically beamed."Awesome Mikey." Justin stretched out his hand, and Michael grasped it. There was that spark again,Michael thought. What was he getting himself into.Was this the right thing to do with Justin. Michael looked at Justin briefly.He smiled an infectious smile and Michael couldn't help but smile. Yeah, this could be a good thing.Justin could be a friend he could trust,Michael thought. If only he didn't have to come clean about his past, and his life.And the person he was. The man everyone didn't understand and most people felt uncomfortable around. Vicky had seen a small part of it, there was so much more. Michael hoped that Justin wouldn't regret his decision when that horrifying truth came out. Chapter 5 They both walked into the kitchen closely beside each other,Lonnie looking up from the table and smiled. "Well looks like someone is getting back to normal." Lonnie walked over to Michael and gave him a hug. "Glad to see you've joined the living again.Your eyes don't look so hazy .How's the headache?" "Its still there but its more manageable.Thanks for caring."Michael smiled at the big man. "Hey any friend of Justin's is an amigo of mine."Lonnie smiled a big grin. Justin directed Michael to the table.Lonnie placed a glass of juice in front of Michael.The table was covered in plates of pancakes,bacon and eggs as well as hash browns and toast.A carafe of coffee sitting in the middle. Michael's stomach clenched a bit and his face constricted slightly.Justin picked up on it right away. "You need nourishment Mikey,I know it doesn't feel like you can eat,after all you'd gone through last night, but you need to get some energy into your body." Michael didn't think his stomach could hold much, it was doing backflips. Justin looked closely at Michael, he had to get him to start eating.Justin put a pouty look on his face. "Please Mikey, humor me.Please eat somethng for me." Michael half smirked."Man, when did you get so good at looking so adorable.Your not playing fair.Who could resist that look." "Hey, I am use to getting what I want, who says I have to play fair."Justin smiled at Michael. Wow, he thinks I look adorable,Justin thought. "Ok Jus, I will try just because you want me to."Michael spooned some eggs and bacon onto his plate. Lonnie had been quietly watching this exchange between the two of them.His thoughts were weighing the situation. Man, its like they know how to read each other.I have never seen Justin so caring and he seems to really want to be there for Michael. And whats with the nicknames?No one who just met someone gets so personal so fast. Maybe Justin is right.Maybe this is what he needs.Michael seems to be making Justin happy.I have never seen him so focused. I can't remember the last time he had used that look on someone.Cameron never bought into it. But Michael seems to have connected well with Justin,I think he would do anything Justin asked him to do. Lonnie wanted to learn more about this young man. "So ,Michael,tell me about yourself.Steve told me your a writer." "Yes I have a novel published.I just finished writing my second one.Its at the proofreaders now,but won't be released until the first has hit second printing." Justin was surprised."You have finished the second one already?When will the first hit second printing?" "A second printing comes when the first has sold 100,000 copies.I don't think it will be for a while."Michael didn't seem to lay much hope in that happening soon. "Its a great book Michael, I have read it." Michael looked at Justin with surprise."You didn't tell me that." Michael lowered his head a little so Justin couldn't see his eyes. Justin had read his book?What did he think of it.Was he impressed.Probably not, it wouldn't be his style. Justin sensed Michael wanted him to say something. Just as he was about to speak someone knocked on the door.Lonnie got up and headed into the living room to answer the door. Michael looked down at his plate and started to put some eggs into his mouth. His stomach tightened and his eyes squeezed shut.Justin leaned over beside him and wrapped his arm around his shoulder. "You ok bud?YOur not feeling sick are you." "No, just needed to take a second to get the first mouthful down."Michael returned to his plate and ate some more eggs and a piece of bacon. That went down a little better.But would it stay down? He swallowed some juice and turned to look at Justin.His face was realy close to his and his arm was still on his shoulder. Just as he was looking directly into his eyes,Vicky came walking into the kitchen,followed closely by Steve and Lonnie. They all stopped to take in the scene in front of them. Vicky's eyes almost popped out of her head.What was Justin doing sitting close to Michael with his arm around him?Was this what it looked like. Steve hadn't really picked up on anything strange going on. Lonnie just stood back taking it all in. "Your early,guys."Justin smiled as he leaned back into his chair, then stood up.Michael started to rise also, but Justin put his hand firmly on his shoulder."You relax Mikey, take it easy and eat some more."Michael returned to his plate and ate some more food. Vicky walked into the kitchen area and hugged Justin warmly then proceed to wrap her arm around Michael. "Yeah ,traffic was quiet , guess because its sunday."Steve replied hugging Justin. "How you feeling, cupcake?"Vicky asked Michael, concern evident in her brown eyes. "Well the dizziness is mostly gone, the headache is still there but its tapered off a bit." She looked into his golden eyes summing up what was there. "Yes your eyes are clear and your color looks better.Did this skinny redneck look after you good?"Vicky pointed at Justin who was chatting with Steve. "Yes indeed, Jus has been showing me the best southern hospitality."Michael smiled a genuine smile at Justin.Justin beamed and actually kind of blushed. Vicky's mind was working in overtime.What the hell was going on here?Nicknames already? It took almost six months before Michael would let her call him Mikey.And Vicky couldn't remember ever calling Justin, Jus. Interesting, very interesting.Vicky wanted to know what had happened in the short time since she had been gone. Vicky sat down in the chair beside Michael, Justin sitting beside him on the other side.Lonnie and Steve taking two other chairs. "So how are you doing Michael?"Steve asked. "I wish everyone would stop asking me that,but I am doing ok Steve." "Great to hear, Michael.Vicky was worried about you all night, she kept getting up all night.I got hardly any sleep." "Oh , please forgive me for worrying about my best friend and interrupting your beauty sleep"Vicky gave Steve a middle finger. "See that, there is the real Vicky."Steve laughed.Everyone joined in except Michael. "Thanks for worrying,Victoria."Michael put his hand on Vicky's arm,and kissed her on the cheek. VIcky knew Michael was beening really sincere because he only called her Victoria when he was really moved by something she had done. Vicky smiled lovingly back at him, a tear in her eye. "But I am ok, really, almost back to normal." "When were you ever normal,pencil dick."vicky retorted. Michael laughed a hearty laugh, and hugged her close. Justin smiled, looking at the two of them, he realized how close they really were.Vicky loved Michael dearly , Justin only hoped he could love him as much.He felt he was half way there already. "So, any messages at home for me this morning?"Michael asked Vicky, pushing his plate away from him as Justin brought him a glass of milk.He had eaten about a quarter of the plate, his stomach wouldn't hold much more. "Here is your dessert."Justin added, placing two pills in front of Michael.Michael glanced up at Justin, who had a silly smirk on his face. "Yummy, butterscotch flavor.My favorite."Michael added, popping them into his mouth ,then downing half the glass of milk. Justin and Steve started laughing. "Ignore the two dipsticks."VIcky smirked."Yes, Vito called.He was worried about you ,he had called about 4 times while we were out last night.He thought it was his fault you got hurt, he had waxed the floors before last night, and he thought you had slipped." "Oh god, I hope you explained to him what really happened." "I told him everything and he has calmed down.But, tell my young friend,as he puts it, that he is suppose to come to the restaurant for a wonderful dinner and so that he can see that he truly are ok.You too Justin."Vicky looked over at Justin. "Sounds great, I love italian pasta."Justin smiled at Michael. Michael looked over at Justin. Wow , dinner in a quiet restaurant with Justin Timberlake.Now wouldn't that be something special.Every teen age girl in America's dream come true. Vicky keep silent, she just sat still and watched their interaction. Yep,something definitely was afoot here.She sensed it more with Justin than Michael.But something had happened to him also. "I guess we will be going whenever Justin is back in town again."Michael said quietly,looking away from Justin. "Well,actually Mikey, I am in town all week until friday.Sort of a sabatical, mixed with a couple of work duties." A smile returned to Michael's face almost immediately. "Ok then, we should hook up and have dinner together some night, if your not too busy."Michael spoke quietly. "Hey, never too busy for a good meal and a good friend."Justin smiled looking into Michael's eyes. "If your not busy, I was hoping we could hang out together and really get to know each other more."Justin asked questioning. Vicky had never seen Michael smile so widely before. "That would be swell." She stared at him until he caught her looking at him. "If there is nothing else, Vicky, I think I might lay down again for a little while, this headache is back again." "Well actually,Mikey.I called your grandmother to let her know what had happened.Before I could explain you were ok, I think she was packing." "Oh shit no, she doesn't have to come here.I have to stop her,I have to let her know I am alright.Justin, where is your phone?" MIchael got up from the table and Justin led him into the living room.A short time later Justin came back out to the kitchen. "I tried to talk her out of coming but she's a pretty determined lady where Michael is concerned."Vicky stated, quietly. "I see where Michael must get it from then.He is pretty determined also."Justin replied. "Yeah they are two hens from the same coop." Vicky could see that Justin was concerned about something. "Justin, can we talk privately for a moment.Michael will probably be on the phone for a while if she is still there." "Sure thing, excuse us guys."Justin said to Lonnie and Steve who were talking between themselves about football. "NO prob,Slick, take your time."Lonnie replied. Justin lead Vicky down the hallway into his bedroom, shutting the door behind them. They both sat down on the two high backed chairs in front of the fireplace.Vicky could see the unmade bed behind her. Had they shared it together last night.vicky didn't think so, not in that sense. "Ok Timberlake.Whats going on?"Vicky always got directly to the point. Justin looked down at his feet, not wanting to look up at her. Vicky sensed he was thinking something through. "I want to tell you something,Vicky.Please let me say it in my own way, then you can have your say,ok?" "Ok, Justin." Justin looked up into her eyes.He wasn't upset or nervous. "I have been having these feeling for a long time,Vicky,These feelings I couldn't deal with.I didn't want to acknowledge that they were there, I tried to deny what they were. But I have realized in the last year or so what they were.In a small way it was one of the reasons I broke up with Cameron.But she had her own reasons as well. I guess I was relieved actually.I couldn't hurt her anymore, I love her too much to do that.She said she could sense something was wrong with both of us. So we agreed to see other people and are still good friends, and she understands that we have to be true to ourselves." Justin looked directly at Vicky. "She didn't know what my truth was." Vicky looked questioningly at Justin. "You see, Vicky,I am bisexual or I may even be gay.I am not sure which, all I know is that I have these feelings inside me. They have always been a part of me.I am not any different, I am the same person.I hope you can accept me for that." Vicky never stopped looking into Justin's eyes.A small smile was on her face. "There is something else I have to say.And you may not like it. I didn't really know how great and deep those feelings were until I looking into Michael's golden brown eyes." Vicky hadn't moved , she keep staring at Justin, a tear was falling down her cheek. "I think I am developing strong feelings for him."Justin looked calmly into Vicky's eyes. VIcky stood up and walked over to Justin and pulled him into a hug.Justin returned the hug. "I am proud of you Justin, I know that must of took a lot of courage to say.I know we are good friends and you never have to worry about that changing.And I am sure Steve will feel the same." Justin was smiling now. "But there is something you should know.Michael may not share those feeling with you.I hope you realize that." This was something Justin didn't want to hear, you could see it in his face. "I need to know Vicky,is Michael gay?" Vicky hugged him again and looked him in the face. "I have known him for five years Justin, and in all that time he hasn't been in any relationships, he has never even tried to start one.All he has done is immerse himself in his writing. I think he has been hurt badly by someone and has locked all those feelings inside somewhere,scared to ever open himself up again to love." But yes he is gay, Justin.He has never denied that.He doesn't flaunt it, but he is open and honest with that aspect of his life." Justin looked at Vicky with a glimmer in his eye. "I know that someone hurt him deeply, I can see pain buried deep within his eyes.I see it everytime I look at him.I want to try and make that pain go away.Is there any chance I could succeed?" "When I walked in here today I saw the way the two of you were looking at each other,Justin.I could see it most evident in your eyes.And when I looked at Michael's face I could see a change too.A change for the better.And I believe that your the reason for that.I have never seen him smile as widely as he did when he found out you wanted to hang out with him this week." Justin smiled widely himself. "Its up to you Justin to keep him smiling, and you have to tell him how you feel.I can't guarantee what Michael's reaction will be, this is new ground for me also.But I know he is a decent, loving, caring man, and he deserves someone special.I truly hope thats you, Justin." Justin hugged Vicky again.He was so happy, she was on his side too.Seemed everyone was comfortable with this.Everyone but the most important person,Michael. Justin would have to work on that.He was going to make this week special for Michael.In every way possible. Vicky and Justin walked back out into the kitchen.Michael was pacing back and forth,something was wrong. "Its just great Vicky, she is on her way here.Uncle Silas said I missed her by an hour.She will be here around 6.I feel so bad that she had to come up here for no reason." Michael was pacing in an agitated state.Justin was wondering what was wrong. "Michael sit down,your getting worked up for nothing.She is coming up here because she's worried about you.She's your grandmother, you dork."Vicky had her arms folded and she was looking at Michael with determination."She loves you, she is coming because she cares." Michael still wouldn't stop pacing. VIcky looked at Justin. Justin went over to Michael and put his hand on his shoulder.Michael stopped and looked at Justin. "Your lucky you have someone who cares enough about you to hop on a flight and drop everything to make sure your alright.She must love you very much ,Mikey." Tears were forming in Michael's eyes. "She means everything to me Justin, she's my Nana.I just don't like her travelling alone, she hasn't been feeling well lately.I don't like the idea of her making this trip." Justin put his arm around Michael's shoulder and led him into the living room.They sat down on the sofa.Lonnie followed bringing in the carafe of coffee and setting it on the coffee table.Steve and Vicky took an armchair each and grabbed a cup of coffee each. "She is all the family I have left, she has been my nana and my mom.I don't know where I would have ended up if she hadn't taken me in." "What happened to your parents, Mikey?"Justin felt Michael tense up.He looked away and stared into space ,as if he was remembering something tragic. "They're dead Justin.They died when I was only nine.Nana had raised me since I was ten." This was something new Vicky hadn't hear before.Justin seemed to be able to drawn stuff out of Michael. "What happened between nine and ten, Michael?" Michael looked down,rubbing his hands.His head was starting to pound again. He started rubbing across his right hand, Justin saw a scare on the back of his hand. "I was in a foster home.They couldn't find any of my relatives." Michael wouldn't stop rubbing his hand.Everyone picked up on it. "Did something happen in the foster home Michael?"Steve asked,concern etched on his brow. Michael stopped rubbing his hand. "I don't want to talk about it, it wasn't a good time in my life.Please drop it." "Ok Mikey."Justin rubbed Michael's shoulder. "So tell me about your nana.She sounds like a wonderful person." "She is Justin, she is so kind.Her and my uncle Silas have always been there for me.Uncle Silas isn't really my uncle.He was my grandfather's best friend, and when he passed away,he was always there for my nana.He said he owed it to my grandpa to look after her. They haven't discussed it with me,but I know they are more than just friends, if you know what I mean." Justin smiled at Michael. Michael started rubbing his head again.Justin knew the headache was back. "Lie back Michael,and I will rub your head again." Michael lay back against Justin, and Justin started massaging his temples again. "She has been my mom, she always took care of me when I was sick.You'd like her Justin, she is funny and outgoing.A real charmer.Its the greek in her." "She's greek?Wow,cool." "Yes my mom was greek." "And your dad?" Justin felt Michael tense up.He didn't say anything for a moment. "He was spanish, he was born in Spain." "Are his parents alive.Maybe you have grandparents in Spain." "NO, he told me when I was young they had both died before I was born." "I am so sorry Michael, it must of been sad growing up without parents, so alone." Michael pushed himself up. There were the feelings of pity, I knew thats all he felt for me,Michael thought. Justin could see Michael steeling himself again in his eyes. "Don't sweat it,Justin, I survived, look at me now."Michael's voice was starting to raise. He pushed Justin's hands away from him. "Look at the peace of work you see in front of you." "Bet it makes you feel like your accomplished something good today. You have done your good deed,Justin.You made the charity case feel wanted.You can go on with your great life. Everyone here is proud of you. Well done." Michael got up and headed into the bedroom , slamming the door behind him.

Thanks for the great feedback.Makes me believe I can write. Angel.
