Chapter 7- Rain, Rain, Go Away


Nick's eyes fluttered open as he greeted a new day. He stared above him to
see rain pour on the glass roofing. He then realized an arm draped across
him and smiled to himself. He rolled over and his eyes met Brian's. Nick
cocked his head, wondering how long he'd been up.
"Whatcha doing?" Nick asked groggidly.
"Staring at you." Brian instantly replied, running a hand over his face.
Nick melted at his touch, pulling Brian tighter around him.
"How long now?" Nick asked.
"I don't really know, actually." Brian said softly.
"I think we should get dressed now. We have to meet the others at the studio
by 12 o'clock." Nick sadly informed him.
"Oh we have a little bit of time left. Besides, I was kind of hoping you'd
want to..." Brian trailed off, moving his hand to Nick's side and running it
over Nick's bare hip. Nick shuddered, knowing what he wanted. Nick instantly
grabbed Brian, engaging in a fierce lip lock. Nick's strong arms pulled
Brian on top of him.
"Again?" Brian sweetly asked.
"Why don't we give you a try, Thomas?" Nick asked, calling Brian by his
middle name.
"I don't know. You're so....so...big and I'm so small....." Brian instantly
lost himself in Nick's hypnotic gaze and knew he wouldn't be able to say no.
"Maybe we should get ready and....oh fuck it." Brian declared, claiming
Nick's lips again and rubbing his hands over Nick's bare chest. Nick groaned
lightly, beginning to kiss Brian's neck. Brian positioned himself above
Nick's erection, slowly lowering himself onto Nick. Brian winced in pain,
but soon forgot about it when he felt Nick's arms wrap around him. Brian
sank down all the way, moaning at the new set of sensations. Nick waited
patiently for Brian to adjust, then he hinted his intentions by bucking his
hips. Brian moaned, catching his hint. Brian started to move himself up and
down, groaning loudly. Nick's head fell back onto the pillow and he closed
his eyes, wanting to get lost in the sensations.
"Open your eyes, love." Brian ushered gently. Nick reluctantly opened his
eyes and gazed into Brian's eyes, finding it incredibly romantic as well as
erotic. Loud crashes of thunder stimulated their excitement and the swift
pounding of the rain seemed to match the pounding of their hearts, creating
a moment in both their lives they couldn't forget if they tried. What seemed
like a blissful eternity was merely only a few minutes as the familiar
sensations intoxicated their bodies. They screamed their love, passion, and
excitement as they came at the same time. Brian fell into Nick's arms in
bliss, holding his love.
He was falling hard for Nick. Brian couldn't think of one thing that he
didn't love about Nick. Even his inadequacies were perfect: The way he
snored, the way he'd drink milk from the carton, even the way he'd burped.
Brian smiled, kissing Nick lovingly on the lips. Nick returned the kiss,
feeling whole for the first time in his entire life. He still couldn't
believe his true love was staring him in the face this whole time. They laid
there for a few minutes in each other's arms.
"We really should be getting to the studio." Brian reminded Nick sadly. Nick
nodded and stood up to get dressed. After a few minutes, they went
downstairs hand in hand. Brian moved to one of the windows and looked at the
storm.
"We'd better wait for this storm to calm down. It's definitely not safe to
drive in." Brian remarked. Nick looked outside too.
"Oh shit! The windows are down on my Durango! I'll be back in a sec." Nick
stated, kissing Brian's cheek before sprinting out the door. Brian smiled as
he walked in the kitchen to make some hot cocoa. After he made some, he went
into the living room to find no Nick.
"Nick?" Brian called out, receiving no answer. Brian quickly panicked,
looking out the window. He stared in horror as Nick's body lay on the
cement. Brian ran full speed out the door to Nick's side. Nick had a deep
cut on his forehead and was unconscious. Brian noticed an uprooted street
sign right by him, figuring it must have been the culprit. Brian
half-carried, half-dragged Nick inside the house and onto the couch. Brian
frantically searched a near by closet for something to stop the bleeding.
Then Brian came across a compromising item that might work. Brian pulled it
out, caring for Nick more than appearance. Brian sat by Nick's side,
unwrapping the maxi pad and applying it to Nick's cut. 'Well, they say
they're absorbent.' Brian thought. Brian ripped a strip of cloth from his
t-shirt and wrapped it around his head to keep the pad in place. Brian
shivered. Then he realized that the house's heater was broken and they were
both wet. Brian hastily undressed Nick, afraid he'd get even worse if his
body wasn't warmed. Brian took off his own clothes and retrieved a blanket
from the closet. Brian slid under the covers next to Nick trying to warm his
frigid body.
'Please wake up' Brian pleaded silently.


"Oooohhh. My head." Nick groaned as he awakened. Brian immediately checked
Nick's head, trying to find any more damage.
"What happened?" Nick asked quietly.
"You went outside in the hurricane to roll up the windows of your car when I
think a road sign hit your head. Are you OK.?" Brian asked, checking Nick's
head again.
"Yeah. It hurts.....wait a second." Nick felt his forehead tenderly. "Please
tell me I don't have a pad stuck to my head." Nick groaned.
"Fine, you don't have a pad stuck to your head." Brian joked.
"Funny. Mr. Littrell.....you weren't trying to put the moves on me while I
was lying here helpless, were you?" Nick asked, shocked.
"Well.....you never know." Brian seductively said, kissing Nick lightly on
the lips.
"Well, if that's the case, you can do it any......"
"THERE Y'ALL ARE!!!" A loud voice yelled. Nick and Brian's heads spun around
to see Kevin standing at the doorway. AJ and Howie followed Kevin inside.
"We were so worried about you guys! We were fixing to call the police when
Howie found this address on Nick's desk....oh my god. Is that a pad on your
head?!" AJ asked, starting to laugh. Nick groaned, shooting Brian an evil
glance. Brian secretly hoped none of the guy's noticed they were naked under
the covers.
"Why are y'all laying naked together?" Kevin asked. So much for that.
"Ummm....." Nick started. Howie and AJ stared at them with blank
expressions, waiting for an answer.
"We.....we....we're......together." Brian stated, preparing for the lectures
and yelling.
"Oh....o.k." Kevin stated, sitting down on an empty chair. Nick and Brian
stared at him in disbelief.
"Is that it?" Nick asked, shocked.
"Oh, and, congrats." Howie added, picking up a book.
"Y'all are o.k. with this?" Brian asked cautiously.
"Oh hell yeah. I hated LeighAnne." AJ stated bluntly.
"You did?" Brian asked.
"We all did. We hoped you'd dump her ass. We even hoped y'all two would get
together." Kevin stated as if it were nothing. Nick and Brian shook their
heads and shrugged. Why argue?
"So, which one of you wears the pants in the relationship?" AJ asked
jokingly.
"Well, obviously it's me because SOME BLONDE guys can't walk outside without
getting whacked in the head by street signs, now can they?" Brian said
matter-of-factly, getting a hit from Nick.
"Lovers quarrel, lovers quarrel!" Howie yelled. Nick threw a pillow at him.
"O.K, no more pillows. We have overused that method of fighting. Now it's
pistachios." Kevin stated, picking up a handful of pistachios from a bowl on
the coffee table and throwing them at Howie. Everyone grabbed a handful and
threw them at each other.
"Well, I'd love to sit around all day and chat, but we have work to do. The
two blondes of the group shall get dressed, our pony-tailed friend will pick
up this mess because he started it, and our 'rebel' will drive us to the
hospital to get Miss. Carter's head looked at." Kevin stated.


A couple of hours later, they had made it back to their hotel rooms. Howie
and AJ sat on the couch fighting over the remote, Nick and Brian sat
together holding hands, and Kevin tried to stop AJ and Howie's bickering.
Just then the doorbell rang.
"I'LL GET IT!!" Nick and Brian yelled, racing to the door. They fell on the
floor, punching and hitting. Kevin stepped over them and answered the door.
"Message for the Backstreet boys." The bell hop stated, handing Kevin a
letter. Kevin thanked him and picked up the feuding lovers. AJ and Howie had
walked over to him. All the BSB stood in a circle, waiting for Kevin to read
the letter. Kevin opened the envelope and read what was on a single piece of
paper:


Our sources have informed us of the relationship of Nick Carter and Brian
Littrell. As members of a high religious order and full believers of God's
will, we ask you to stop this sinful relationship right this very moment, or
we will stop it for you. This is not a prank. We are very serious and if you
do not take us seriously you will pay the price. We know everything about
all of you and are watching you every step you make. Lead not into
temptation but deliver yourselves from sin and the fires of an eternal
damnation.
-Anonymous


Kevin crumpled the piece of paper in his hands as the others were overcome
with silence.
"What kind of sickos can call themselves believers in God if they kill
others? Isn't one of the 10 commandments 'thou shalt not kill'?" AJ asked
sternly.
"I think they're serious. What do are we going to do?" Nick asked, holding
onto Brian.
"We need help. We have to inform our management of all this, and telling
both of your families is helpful." Kevin stated slowly.
"We have to do something. Let's go to Kentucky tomorrow and tell my parents.
I think Nick's parents are there too for my, well, wedding." Brian stated
softly.
"Are y'all O.K?" Howie asked in a concerned voice.
"I will when we catch these bastards." Nick muttered.
