Authors Note Alright, I would like to thank Jay and Josh for all of their help, and I would also like to thank a few other people who have unknowingly helped and inspired me to write. They would be JM, author of Brian & Justin and Just Beginning, AJ, author of Just JC, Zeo, author of 'N Sync Love, Rob, author of Rob & Lance, and countless others. I encourage everybody to read these stories, they're all really good. And now, on with the story!! Loving Justin & Lance - Chapter 2 Stone and Brock get settled into their Uncle Rex's penthouse, and they both quickly take showers, and change clothes before their guests arrive. Stone puts on some black dress pants, a blue silk shirt, and a black leather vest, and Brock puts on some gray dress pants, a green silk shirt, and a gray leather vest. They turn on some of the lights, and with Kirk's help quickly remove all of the sheets that cover all of the furniture in the large penthouse. Rex Collins had not stayed in the penthouse for about 25 years, so, all the furniture had been covered up by sheets. Kirk gathers all the dust covered sheets and puts them into a large laundry bag as Stone and Brock open up some of the windows so as to air the rooms out a bit. It may seem slightly strange that no maid has been into the room to clean in the last 25 years, but, since this penthouse was never rented out to anyone except a member of the Collins family, and since most Collins family members who visit, stay at Collins Hall, there really was no need for maid service unless Rex had to stay in the room for a week to take care of business matters or something that would be better taken care of if he was in town instead of at Collins Hall. Kirk takes the empty baggage cart and the laundry bag and leaves the room, as Stone and Brock finish cleaning up a bit, and stone goes into the penthouse's kitchen to turn on the gas for the stove and turn on the refrigerator. After that's done, he calls down to the hotel kitchen and orders that the groceries bought yesterday be brought up, and the head chef says that he will send some people up with the groceries as soon as possible. "Ya know bro, Kirk is actually kinda cute," replies Brock. "Yes, he is, I mean he's no Justin Timberlake, but he is cute none the less," replies Stone, "he's got a nice ass." "I know! It took every thread of will power I had not to reach out and pinch it," replies Brock, as he and Stone start laughing. "Okay, Brock, let's calm down. We can't fall for Kirk here," replies Stone, "Cause that would mean a threesome, and I don't care for the idea of sharing a cute guy with you." "Not to mention the fact that all the guys in a threesome normally are together," replies Brock, "And as much as I love ya Stone, I can't see you and me together in that way." "Well, bro, that would be incest, anyway, sexually I find you totally unattractive and very ugly," replies Stone with a grin, as he and Brock burst out laughing again. Stone and Brock have always been very close to one another. As children, they were pretty much each other's only friends, since they lived at Collins Hall and had a private live-in tutor, they never really got out to town much to make friends. True, they do have a sister, Megan, but they've never really gotten along with her very well, and she decided very young that living at Collins Hall was not something that she wanted to do. She wanted to get as far away from it, and the city which her ancestors founded over 300 years ago, as she possibly could. Megan Collins moved to Los Angeles, California, where she became an actress, though is currently unemployed and living off of her inheritance from Uncle Rex, which incidentally, was considerably smaller then Stone and Brock's inheritances, but she doesn't know that. She knows that Uncle Rex gave them Collins Hall and that he gave them Collinsbrook (the city), but she doesn't know that they both got a 15 million dollar trust fund. Megan only got the family vacation cottage in northern Wisconsin, which she was able to get $145,000 for, and a check for $500,000. Megan does keep in touch with Stone and Brock, to a certain extent, she mails them a Christmas card every year, and birthday cards on their birthday, but other then that, they haven't seen each other in about 3 years. Megan is 27 years old, and has a slightly stuck-up character, or at least she did when she left Collinsbrook 3 years ago. Whether or not she's changed in that time, Stone and Brock can only guess. And Stone and Brock certainly have no desire to travel the 3000+ miles to go and see for themselves if Megan has changed. Anyway, Stone and Brock make themselves comfortable in the now clean and aired-out penthouse, as two of the hotel cooks put away the groceries, and start dinner, seven small pizzas, one for each other guys of 'N Sync, and one for Stone and one for Brock. Of course the cooks will wait until they get here to put the toppings on, so that they all get their favorite toppings. Meanwhile, in Joey's hotel room, the other guys of 'N Sync all sit down and wait for Joey to tell them why he called them all over. "What's up Joe?" asks Chris, "Why'd ya call us all over?" "Well, we're not the only ones staying on this floor anymore," replies Joey. "What? But I thought management reserved the entire floor?" asks Justin, bewildered. "They did," replies Joey. "Well then how can someone else other then us be staying on this floor?" asks Lance. "Because the two other people staying on this floor are Stone and Brock Collins," replies Joey. "Collins, you mean as in 'Collins Arms Hotel' and 'Collinsbrook?'" asks JC. "Yeah, they own the hotel, not to mention the rest of the city," replies Joey, "I guess their ancestors founded it or something." "Okay, so we have to share a floor with them, big deal," replies Chris. "Well, that's another thing," replies Joey, "Brock invited us all over to their penthouse for dinner." The guys all think about it for a moment, Justin is the first one to speak, "Well, before we go over there, tell us anything else you can tell us about them Joe." "I don't really know that much, except for their names, and that they both are about 6ft tall, with blonde hair, and green eyes," replies Joey, "I think they're identical twins, but I'm not sure." "How old are they?" asks JC. "I don't know for sure, but I'd say late teens to early twenties," replies Joey, "I suppose if I was like you three, I might actually find them attractive." Chris and Joey laugh, before Lance, Justin, and JC all throw pillows at them. This results in a brief, yet somewhat tiring pillow fight. "Okay, okay, so Lance, JC, and I are gay," replies Justin, "We can't help it if we can't be boring straight guys like you two." This time Justin, JC, and Lance burst out laughing, and Chris and Joey give them mean looks. If looks could kill, Justin, JC, and Lance would be on their way to the mortuary by now. After about twenty more minutes, JC calls down to the front desk and asks to be connected with Stone and Brock's room. The desk clerk complies, and Stone answers the phone. "Hello?" "Yes, um, this is JC Chasez of 'N Sync," replies JC. "Oh, hi, JC, this is Stone Collins." "Hello Stone, um, I just called to tell you that we'd be happy to come over for dinner, and if you and your brother can just give us about half an hour to shower and change clothes, we'll be there." "Sure, no problem, JC, c-ya then, bye." "Bye." "Well, Brock, that was JC," replies Stone, "Says they'll be here in half an hour, after they shower and change clothes." "Cool!" replies Brock, perhaps slightly over-anxious. "Calm down bro!" replies Stone, "You can't be this hyped up when they get here or they're going to think that you're gay or something!" A smile crosses Stone's face as he finishes his sentence, and before he knows it, he's laughing at his little joke right along with Brock. "But, yes, seriously Stone, I realize I can't act like a star-struck female fan or something," replies Brock, "I mean so what if we'll soon be sitting in the same room with Lance and Justin?" "Yeah, well, the fact that JC, Joey, and Chris will be here, should help a bit," replies Stone, "And did I mention that Kirk will be here too?" "No you didn't," replies Brock, "Why is he going to be here?" "I gave him the night off, since he's so god damn fine and I also decided that he is going to be our personal valet from now on," replies Stone with a grin. "Valet? Last time I checked a valet is a man's personal manservant who helps with the man's clothes, and helps to dress him," replies Brock as a smile crosses his face, "I suppose having Kirk do that would be kinda fun." Stone and Brock both laugh again, before Stone tells the cook to make an eighth pizza for Kirk. Just as Stone was about to sit down again, the door bell rings. This is the only room in the entire hotel which has a doorbell, mainly because Rex Collins hated the sound of someone knocking on a door. Stone opens the door to find Kirk Reynolds standing there, wearing a pair of stonewashed denim jeans, a white t-shirt and a stonewashed denim vest. "Please come in Kirk," replies Stone, as he admires Kirk's ash-blonde hair, his sapphire blue eyes, his nice muscular form, and as Kirk walks over to the sofa, Stone simply can't resist checking out Kirk's very well defined ass. Very nice. 'He's not Justin, but he's pretty damn cute none the less,' thinks Stone to himself as he closes the door. "I must admit that I was kinda surprised when you gave me the night off, Mr. Collins, and then invited me up to your penthouse for dinner," replies Kirk as he sits down on the sofa, next to Brock. "First of all, please call me Stone," replies Stone, "Second, you don't have the night off, because you no longer work here." A look of absolute horror crosses Kirk's face as he thinks about being unemployed before Brock puts his hand on Kirk's knee and replies, "You work for us now. From now on you will be Stone's and my personal valet, a job which pays much more then the bellhop job, and you get to live at Collins Hall with us." "But, Kirk, you have a choice as to whether or not you take the job or not," replies Stone, "I don't know if you might have a problem working for Brock and I or not, since we're gay." Stone sits down next to Kirk, and Kirk can feel Stone's eyes and Brock's eyes on him as he remains silent for a minute. "I'll take the job, I would be crazy not to," replies Kirk, "As for you two being gay, I don't think that'll be a problem, because I am gay too." "Cool, welcome aboard Kirk," replies Brock as he pulls Kirk into a hug, and kisses him on both cheeks. Stone does the same, which causes Kirk to turn about four shades of red for some reason. Stone, Brock, and Kirk sit and talk for about fifteen minutes, getting to know each other a little bit better, before the doorbell rings again, and Kirk gets up to answer it, as he now works for Stone and Brock. "Hello Mr. Timberlake, and Mr. Chasez," replies Kirk as he opens the door and lets them in. Justin comes in wearing baggy baby blue jeans, and a baby blue t-shirt, and JC is wearing khaki pants, a white t-shirt, and a light tan sweater vest. "Okay, quick intros," replies Stone as he stands up as Kirk sits back down, "I'm Stone Collins, this is Brock, and that is Kirk Reynolds, our valet." "Cool," replies Justin with a small grin, as he thinks, 'God, this Stone Collins guy is really fine!" 'Kirk is kinda cute, I wonder if I have a chance with him?' thinks JC to himself. "Please, have a seat," replies Brock, as Justin and JC sit down on the sofa across from Stone, Brock, and Kirk. The five of them talk for a few minutes, before the doorbell rings and Brock gets up to answer it, and lets in Lance, Joey, and Chris. Lance is wearing the same as JC, only his t-shirt is black, Joey is wearing a pair of baggy sweatpants and a superman sweatshirt, and Chris is wearing baggy black jeans and a blue silk shirt. Everybody quickly tells the two cooks in the kitchen what they want on their personal pizzas, before the all sit down in the living room to chat. "Thanks for inviting us over for dinner," replies Lance with a smile. "Yeah, you have a really nice place here," replies Chris. "Well, we don't normally live here, in fact this is the first time in 25 years that this penthouse has been used," replies Stone, "First time that Brock and I ever used it too." "Okay, I can't seem to get this question out of my head," replies Joey, "Are you two twins or something? Cause you two certainly look like it." Stone and Brock laugh at that, and Brock replies, "Everybody asks that, you explain Stone." "Okay, well, it is true that Brock and I look like twins, and its also true that we have the same birthday," replies Stone, "But, we're not twins. I turned 21 two weeks ago, and Brock turned 19." "Oh, well, happy belated birthday, then," replies Chris with a smile. "Thanks," replies Stone and Brock in unison. "So, how is it that you came to own a hotel, and an entire city at your ages?" asks Justin, very curiously, but still quite impressed. "Well, in the case of Collinsbrook, an ancestor of ours founded this city in 1695, and everything that is built in it is completely funded by the Collins family, so in essence we own the city," replies Stone, "Its just sorta passed down from generation to generation." "As is our actual place of residence, Collins Hall, which is out on the Collins Moor, next to the city. It was built in 1690, and is actually more like a castle then a mansion," replies Brock, "And all of the full suits of armor, and swords and shields and the like decorating the place doesn't help much in making it look less like a castle." "If it sounds like we're bragging, we're not," replies Stone, "I guess we just find it a bit unbelievable yet. I mean we were raised knowing full well that one day we would have to take over the castle, and the city, not to mention the fact that we actually have titles, so to speak." "A title?" asks Lance. "Well, Stone has one, I won't get mine until I turn 21," replies Brock, "It's a family tradition so to speak in which the first born son and the first born daughter of the first born got the title of 'Prince' and 'Princess'. That tradition was started by the ancestor who built Collins Hall and founded the city. It was then modified by his son when his wife gave birth to quadruplets. He suddenly had 4 heirs who were only minutes apart in age. So he figured that they might fight if they didn't all get a title, so then everybody got one. Let's just say that they were both very eccentric." "Eccentric? I'd say something, but I guess its not polite to talk about the dead," replies Joey. "So, we could call you Prince Stone?" asks Justin, intrigued. "Technically, yes, but I don't use the title," replies Stone. "Okay, let's please change the subject," replies Chris, "Do you have any other family?" "Yes, we have a sister, Megan. She lives in Los Angeles though," replies Stone, "We haven't seen her in like 3 years." "Well, you're very quiet Kirk," replies JC with a grin. "Sorry, I guess I just don't know what to talk about." "Well, how long have you been working for Stone and Brock?" asks Lance. "Um, about 20 minutes as their personal valet," replies Kirk, "and I've worked as a bellhop at this hotel for two years. But only this past year was I under Stone and Brock's employment." "What do you mean?" asks Justin. "Well, the first year I worked here, I worked for their uncle, Rex Collins, then he died last year and willed everything to Stone and Brock." "Well, almost everything," replies Stone, "Brock and I each got a 15 million dollar trust fund, and Collins Hall, and Collinsbrook." "Our sister, Megan, got a vacation house in northern Wisconsin, which incidentally she sold for $145,000, and a check for $500,000," replies Brock, "Only she doesn't know about the trust funds. She thinks that Stone got Collins Hall, I got Collinsbrook, and that we all got a check for $500,000." Conversation continues like this all through dinner, and then for about another 2 hours after dinner. Stone, Brock, and Kirk making some very good friends with the guys of 'N Sync. "So, you guys are in town for 3 weeks?" asks Kirk. "Yeah, after tomorrow we have the rest of our time here in Collinsbrook off," replies JC, "Only thing is this town is kinda small and I don't mean to insult you or anything, but kinda boring." "Yes, I know," replies Stone, "This city is on the small side, and I admit there is not much in the way of entertainment venues." "I have an idea. How about you guys all come back to Collins Hall with us?" replies Brock, "There's a whole lot more to do there. We have an olympic size indoor heated swimming pool, 6 tennis courts, 3 basketball courts, a baseball diamond, a football field, a movie theatre, an IMAX theatre, some roller-coasters, and tons of other cool stuff." "Sounds great. When do we leave?" asks Justin. "Well, when can you get away?" asks Stone. "We have a photo shoot in the morning, but after that, we're free," replies Lance. "Okay, just meet Kirk out front of the hotel tomorrow, and he'll drive you over to the gatehouse complex," replies Brock, "You know where that is right, Kirk?" "Yeah, about 3 miles out of town going east from Main Street," replies Kirk, as Brock nods to acknowledge that Kirk is right. "Okay, well, then Brock and I will head back to Collins Hall tonight, and you guys can come out tomorrow afternoon," replies Stone. "Sounds good," replies Chris, Joey, Lance, Justin, and JC in unison. After the guys of 'N Sync leave, Brock calls Collins Hall on his cell phone. "Hello?" asks Mrs. Robertson, the housekeeper. "Hello, Mrs. Robertson, this is Brock. I need you to have the spare carriage sent out to the gatehouse complex immediately." "Yes, sir." "Stone and I will be leaving here shortly and heading back to Collins Hall," replies Brock, "We have guests coming to the gatehouse complex tomorrow afternoon, so please also prepare 6 of the guest rooms." "No problem, will there be anything else, sir?" "No, that'll be all, goodbye Mrs. Robertson." "Goodbye Mr. Collins," replies the housekeeper as she hangs up. Kirk helps Stone and Brock gather up their luggage, which was never actually unpacked, and everything is reloaded into Stone's Mercedes. Stone and Brock get in, and head off for the gatehouse complex. Once there, the stables master and the caretaker quickly harness five charcoal black horses up to the carriage, light the lanterns, and once again, the sound of the whip cracking through the crisp night air can be heard as the carriage lurches forward on its long journey back to Collins Hall. The next afternoon, the guys of 'N Sync load their luggage into the back of Kirk's minivan, and Kirk drives off to the gatehouse complex. Once their, he pulls the van into the garage, and motions for everybody to get out. "Okay, guys, I suggest that if any of you have to use the bathroom, that you do it now, because there are no stops between here and Collins Hall," replies Kirk. The five guys of 'N Sync all head into the cabin to take care of business, or to at least try to, so that they won't have to later on, as Kirk, the caretaker, and the driver of the spare carriage, load all the luggage onto the carriage's luggage rack. Just as Kirk finishes attaching the checkrein to the lead horse, the guys of 'N Sync come out and look totally bewildered to see their luggage on a horse-drawn carriage. "Um, what's this?" asks Lance. "Oh, did, somebody forget to mention that Collins Hall is over 175 miles out of town?" asks Kirk, "And thus cannot be gotten to by car, because there's no way of filling the gas tank between here and Collins Hall?" "No, I don't think that was mentioned," replies Justin with a grin. "Well, guys, meet your home for the next day and a half, that's how long it will take to get to Collins Hall," replies Kirk. The guys of 'N Sync decide that it would be better not to put up any fight, since they don't seem to have a choice, and they all get into the carriage with Kirk, as the driver climbs up into the driver's seat. The driver sends the whip cracking down, and the five ivory white horses begin to gallop, getting faster and faster, until they're galloping at top speed. Meanwhile, on another part of the road to Collins Hall, the carriage carrying Stone and Brock is also moving at top speed, only it just passed under the second gate. The main gate is back at the gate house complex, but a second gate was put up twenty miles from Collins Hall, to let the people in the carriage know, that the house is getting closer. Once you're within 10 miles of Collins Hall, you can see its many towers and spires, and lightning rods sticking up from seemingly nowhere amongst the rolling hills of the Collins Moor. Suddenly, a snake crawls out of a small ditch on the side of the road and scares the horses, and they go crazy, as the hitch breaks loose, the horses running in one direction, and the carriage rolling in the other, down a hillside, before it finally stops as it crashes into a large outcropping of rocks, the front wheels being totally smashed, and the carriage tipping over.
