Date: Mon, 3 Sep 2001 19:16:54 -0700 (PDT) From: Jim Higgins Subject: Lance's Story: The Times Of Your Life Hey everyone! I was very pleased with the response I got from the first full chapter. I hope everyone is enjoying the story so far! So here's the second chapter: more Lance and Brian, will JC say anything, will Lance and Brian find out about each other, does Justin really like to bleach his hair? (ok that last one I made up... from comments he's made recently I think he really regrets the bleached look now) Again... thanks to everyone who's prompted me to write this story. How could I disappoint so many people! As usual: This story is purely fiction and is not intended to imply anything about the true sexuality of 'N Sync or anyone associated with their organization or the reality of their lives. It is meant for those over the age of 18 only and those who wish to read stories with sexual content. *********** Lance's Story *********** The Times of Your Life "Goodbye to yesterday You wake up And time has slipped away And suddenly they're hard to find The memories are in your mind Do you remember The times of your life?" -William Lane/Roger Nichols For the next several days, Lance would stare at the paper with Brian's phone number, remembering their short night together and smile. Brian filled his thoughts and had crept into dreams that made him blush to think of them. A small part of him felt guilty. It seemed he forgot his infatuation with JC or any other guy so quickly when he met Brian. Lance didn't give much thought about it, he was seriously smitten. He had decided that he'd ask him to come to see the Backstreet Boys with them. It took him most of the week to screw up his courage to do it. He was so worked up about making the phone call, he didn't even worry about his driving test. Fortunately he passed with flying colors. Now it was Friday and he had one day left. Knowing it would be rude to ask the day of the concert, it was now or never. Lance made sure he had some privacy. Lynn was gone and JC and Justin were at the local park playing some basketball with what Justin called their 'homeboys.' With shaking fingers he dialed the number and waited for his call to be answered. "Hello?" Lance could barely hear the person who answered through some loud music. "Is Brian there?" Lance asked loudly. "Hold on," was shouted back to him. Lance heard some muffled shouting and the music stopped abruptly. "Sorry about that, what was that again?" Lance listened to the rich voice. "Um, is Brian there, please?" There was a sigh. "Sure, hold on." 'This guy has the same accent as Brian,' he thought. 'Bet that was his cousin, Kevin. He sounds nice too.' After a short minute Brian came on the line. "Hello?" "Hey, Brian, it's Lance." "Oh, hey guy. I'm glad you called." The warmth in his voice melted Lance's heart. "So how you been?" Lance mentally kicked himself for such a lame line. "Doing good, just enjoying the free time. How about you?" "Same here. Sounded like a party going on there." Brian laughed. "I have two roommates and a friend over. That was my cousin, Kevin, who answered the phone and it was our roommate who had the music up loud with our friend." "Ah." "How about you? Live with anyone?" "My friend Josh and I are living with another friend's family for now." "That's cool." Lance hesitated a second. "Brian, I was wondering, a bunch of friends and I are going to a concert tomorrow night and I wanted to know if you would like to come with us?" he rushed out in one breath. "Wow, thanks for asking but I'm busy tomorrow night." "Oh." Lance didn't even try to hide the disappointment in his voice. 'I knew I should've called earlier,' he berated himself. "Hey, but I'm free tonight. Want to catch a movie?" "Ya, I would." "Ok, pick you up in about an hour, ok?" "Sounds good, see ya then, bye." "Bye." Lance hung up the phone and fell onto his bed. 'Oh my God. I have a real date!' Lance spent the time taking a shower and getting ready. He decided to dress nice but not overly nice and primped in the mirror. Right on time Brian pulled up in front of the house and before he could even start up the walk, Lance was outside with him. "Let's go!" Lance smiled. Brian opened the door for him like he had before and soon they were off. Lance found out they had the same tastes in movies and quickly decided on a comedy that had been out for awhile that neither of them had seen. Brian payed for everything making Lance feel special. While they waited for the movie to start they talked about their backgrounds and found they shared many of the same beliefs growing up. As the movie started, they lapsed into a comfortable silence as they shared a popcorn. Lance would tingle every time their hands touched. Once it was gone Brian reached over and held Lance's hand causing both their pulses to race. After the movie, back in Brian's Wrangler, Lance leaned over and kissed Brian on the cheek. "Thanks for the treat." Brian smiled at him. "My pleasure." They leaned in simultaneously and kissed. "Let's go someplace a little more private," Brian suggested. Within minutes they were parked on the outskirts of town near a park. They weren't the only people in the lot. There were a few others, couples taking a walk near the pond, enjoying the warm, starlit night and teenagers doing their own explorations. They didn't waste time slipping into each other arms. They kissed long and hard. Lance couldn't believe it. 'Here I am, making out with a guy in a car. This is so cool.' Their desires went unchecked as they took turns unbuttoning each other's shirts, keeping their lips locked together. Lance was dizzy with need. He slipped his hands inside Brian's shirt and felt his smooth chest. Brian moaned as Lance's fingers brushed a nipple and shoved his tongue deeply into Lance's mouth. Brian decided to repay the favor and reached with both hands into Lance's shirt and fondled his pecs paying close attention to both nipples. Lance groaned loudly never wanting Brian to stop. Brian pulled away leaving them both panting. He reached into the back seat and grabbed a blanket. "Come on, I know a spot that's very secluded and private." They made their way deeper into the park, holding hands in the dark. Brian found the spot he was looking for and spread the blanket out. Lance looked around. They were in a sort of clearing surrounded by trees and dense bushes. It was off the path and looked fairly unused. "This is perfect," Lance said as Brian hugged him from behind. Lance turned and pushed Brian's shirt off of his shoulders. Brian did the same and they stood admiring each other in the starlight. "You're so beautiful," Brian breathed softly making Lance blush. They sank down onto the blanket both pulling their pants off and lay together in only their boxers. Brian rolled on top of Lance and pressed their erections together as they kissed. He clutched Lance's head between his hands as Lance rubbed his hands up and down Brian's back before settling on his firm ass. "Oh, Brian," Lance moaned. Their kissing continued as their hands wandered freely. Eventually Brian moved to lay beside Lance and grasped him through his boxers making Lance shudder. "Brian, I've never done anything like this before," he finally said softly. "The other night in the car was the first..." he stumbled to a stop. "You mean?" Lance simply nodded. "Oh, I didn't realize." Brian ran his fingers along Lance's cheek. "It's ok, we'll only do what you feel comfortable with." Lance smiled and pulled Brian down for another kiss. "Can we do what we did the other night?" Lance asked shyly. "Certainly." Brian kissed down Lance's neck and across his chest. Soft licks on his nipples made Lance squirm with delight. Brian licked down Lance's stomach wetting down the light trail of hair below his belly button while pulling off his boxers. Lance moaned softly as the night air hit his erect penis. Brian grasped it at the base and admired it. "You are so beautiful," he said, leaning up to kiss Lance. "You do realize that you are really big down there?" he giggled. Lance smiled at him between kisses. "I really haven't had alot of opportunity to compare." "Well take my word for it." Brian moved down and took the head in his mouth bringing another moan from Lance. He slowly took it all in his mouth and throat over and over making Lance shiver. "Can I do it to you now?" Lance panted. "Let's do it together," Brian suggested. He shed his boxers and turned until they were in a 69 position. "Just do what you..." his words were drowned in a groan as Lance practically swallowed him whole. Lance was in heaven. The feeling of Brian sucking him while he was sucking Brian quickly overloaded his brain. He sucked and licked until his jaw ached. Soon they both felt the other stiffen beside them. "Oh God," Lance moaned. "Brian, I'm close." "Me too," he panted in response. Within seconds they were both shooting in each other's mouths. Lance once again savored the slightly salty taste of Brian's cum. He was on cloud nine. Sex with another person was even better than he'd ever imagined. Once they had softened Brian moved back up and put his head on Lance's chest. "That was wonderful, Lance." "I never knew it could be so good." Brian lifted his head and smiled at him. He lazily kissed Lance's lips. "I love the way you taste." Lance blushed. "I was thinking the same." Lance rolled them so he was on top as their soft kisses intensified. Before long they were once again shooting into each other's mouths. ------ Lance kissed Brian goodnight one last time before heading into the house. He turned in the door and waved as Brian pulled away from the curb. Everything was dark inside and he quietly made his way to the stairs. Halfway through the living room a quiet voice nearly scared him to death. "So where have you been?" "Josh, you just about gave me a heart attack!" "Sorry," JC clicked on a lamp. "So?" "I was on a date, went to the movies. I left a note." JC nodded. "Ya, I saw it. Same person?" "Yup, it was nice." "You two getting serious? "I guess, ya." Lance felt uncomfortable with JC's questioning. He didn't want to reveal exactly what he'd been doing on his date but didn't want to lie either. "That's nice." Something in JC's tone made Lance hesitate. "Josh, are you ok? What's wrong?" Lance looked at JC closely. 'Does he look sad or is that disappointment?' he thought. "Oh nothing," he dismissed. "I was just concerned about you and I'm a little tired." Lance nodded then gave him a hug. "Thanks for caring, I appreciate that. I've got to go to bed, good night." Josh smiled back at him. "See you in the morning." Lance headed quietly up to his room and to bed leaving JC sitting in the living room. He didn't see the now obvious slightly hurt and sad expression on JC's face. ------ On Saturday they arrived at the House of Blues right on time. Lou brought them backstage to meet the Backstreet Boys before they went to their seats. Lance was the last to enter the room as the two groups waited to be introduced. Standing by the door, he couldn't see everyone too well in the small room. Lou began by introducing 'NSync. Once he gave out their names he turned to the tall dark haired man standing in the center of the room. Lance couldn't believe how striking he looked. "Well," he started with a deep, slightly southern accent, "I'm Kevin, that's Howie, AJ and Nick." He looked around. "I'm missing one, he's in the bathroom." Just as Kevin finished the bathroom door opened and in walked Brian. Lance's draw dropped open and he grew pale. 'Brian!!??' his mind screamed. 'And his cousin Kevin, of course.' Brian gave his dazzling smile. "Hey y'all." His gaze swept the group then settled on Lance. He blinked in surprise. "That's my cousin, Brian." Kevin quickly went through the 'NSync guy's names for him. Lou left to make a phone call, leaving the two bands to themselves. They broke off into smaller groups trying to get to know each other. JC stood in the center of the room near Kevin, Joey and AJ. The three knew each other from area auditions and talked easily. JC didn't really paying attention to their conversation. Justin and Nick gravitated to each other seeing a kindred spirit in each being the youngest. They talked and laughed about video games and comic books. Chris and Howie hugged and started talking a mile a minute, having already known each other from singing in a community college choir a few years earlier. JC looked across to Lance and Brian. They were standing close together, having an intense conversation as if they'd known each other before. For some reason the implied intimacy bothered JC. He was brought back to the group he was with by Kevin. "Hey, JC, you guys want to go out after the concert?" JC came out of his thoughts. "Um, I guess so. We'll have to ask the rest, but that would be fun." ------ Lance couldn't believe his eyes. It was -his- Brian. As they split into smaller groups, Brian motioned for Lance to follow him into the corner. "Well, this is a surprise," Brian said with a worried grin. "Ah, ya, you could say that." "I guess we didn't really find out enough about each other, huh?" "Oh, I don't know that. Neither of us wanted to talk about what we did for work. I guess now I know why you were busy tonight," Lance said with a smile. Brian became a little self-conscious. "Um, I'm sorry, this is just a little awkward." Lance nodded looking down. "I know." Brian then started panicking. "If I... ah... what I mean to say is..." He stopped, shaking his head. "What's wrong?" Lance started worrying, wondering why Brian was acting this way. He cleared his throat before continuing looking decidedly pale. "If I remember the press release right, you're only 17 years old," he said quietly but forcefully. "Ya, so?" Lance said, not getting what he was saying. "Crap, Lance! I'm 21, I could go to jail for what we've done together." Lance's eyes widened not having thought of that possibility. "No, Brian. I would never say anything. It will only be between you and me. I... I... I wanted it to happen. I really liked it." Brian calmed a little seeing Lance's distress. "It's ok, I trust you. I really don't have any other choice. You understand that we can't do that again. At least not until you're 18." "You mean you still want to see me?" "I would like to, if you would." Lance's nod brought out a wide smile from Brian that knocked Lance for a loop. ------ Lance spent the holidays both depressed and elated thinking back on the last week in Orlando. He loved being home and he truly had missed his family but this was the first time he'd been away from the guys in almost a year and he missed them terribly. There was someone else he was missing too, Brian. Lou had nixed the idea of anyone going out that night so the bands said goodbye backstage. Brian had motioned for Lance to call him. They talked almost every day before they both headed to home their families. The schedules were tight but they managed one trip to Starbucks, Brian escorting Lance door to door. Brian had been nothing but the perfect gentleman on that date. Lance wanted to jump him the entire time but restrained himself knowing that, if caught, they would get in a load of trouble, Brian in particular. Lance did get a healthy kiss goodnight from Brian but no more. Lance loved his family, but couldn't wait for the few days to be over and head back 'home.' One of the first things he did back in Orlando was call Brian and he got the machine. "We're sorry we aren't home right now," Kevin's soft voice said, "if you need to leave a message do so at 555-1123. We are out of town. Thanks for calling. **BEEP**" Lance put the phone down, without leaving a message, thinking. He was sitting on his bed when Justin ran in and jumped on him. "Welcome home, Lancey!" he yelled. They both laughed and started tickling each other. Finally Lance had enough and called 'uncle.' Justin snuggled into Lance and they lay close together. Lance enjoyed the intimacy that Justin freely shared with all of them. There was nothing overtly sexual about it, only Justin's way of showing affection. Lance knew deep down that Justin was basically insecure, despite the 'tough boy' image he portrayed outwardly. He used physical closeness to give him the affirmation he needed. "Hey, guess what Josh is gonna get me for my 16th birthday?" Lance raised one graceful eyebrow at Justin. "Aren't presents supposed to be surprises?" he grinned. "Well, he asked what I wanted, so I told him and he said he'd buy it," Justin said smugly. "So, are you gonna tell me?" he asked after waiting a minute. "Oh, ya," Justin laughed. "A cell phone! Isn't that cool?" "Very." Justin gave him a big, warm hug and a kiss on the cheek. "I missed ya, buddy." Lance returned the hug and kiss gladly. "I missed you too, squirt." Lance was always glad of the closeness the five of them shared and that included these small displays of affection. They were on the road and alone so much that it kept them all from feeling lonely and homesick. Justin laughed then jumped up and ran to the door. "I'm gonna go swimming, wanna come?" "Sure I'll be down in a minute." He watched Justin run into his room and a second later dash downstairs. Lance smiled at his energy. He considered Justin his best friend. He was always there to help learn a dance step or make him smile when he was down. And now, without even knowing it, he helped yet again. Taking the card out of his wallet, he picked up the phone and dialed Brian's cell number. It rang several times before it was answered. "Hello, Brian's phone, this is Howie." "Um, hi. Can I speak to Brian please?" "Hold on, he's on his way." There was a pause before Lance heard Howie toss the phone to Brian. "Hello?" "Hey, Brian, it's Lance." "Oh, hi there. How was your Christmas?" "It was good, yours?" "Just fine. Listen I don't have alot of time right now, we have to head out for sound check in like two seconds." "So you're out on tour early, huh?" "Sorta a Christmas present they didn't tell us about. Can you call me tomorrow morning?" "Sure, talk to you later, bye." "Bye, Lance. Thanks for calling." Lance sighed a little in depression but he wasn't surprised. The unexpected appearances happened to them all the time. He changed into his trunks and joined Justin in the pool. tbc...
