****************************************************************************

John sat on the couch and yawned loudly. He scratched the back of his head,
got up and looked at his watch.
'Date 18 August 2000
11:04 AM
Temp: 22c  AQ: Good
Phone: No messages'
"It's late... oh well..." he thought. He looked at the AQ indication and
giggled a little.
"What a idea to have the air quality on a watch." He thought, smiling.
He stretched the arms and looked at the bed. What he saw make him smile.
Nick and Brian were cuddled in each other arms; both had a small smile on
his face.
"So cute..." he thought.
He smiled as he remembered what happened this week. Everyday, the lovebirds
didn't leave each other side. Most of the time, they were kissing, cuddling
and dancing on romantic songs. He then laughed as he remembered that his
brother was chasing him in the house several times when he was talking about
sex. 'Obscenity' as Scott called it.
"He never like when I talked about sex..." he thought.
He walked toward the bed and smiled at the sight.
"Too bad... they didn't do anything this week... well except kissing and
other stuff like that..." he said.
"You'll never change... only think about that." He heard a sleepy voice
behind him.
He turned around and saw Scott sitting on the couch, having some
difficulties to open his eyes. John just shrugged.
"Well... not really... I understand too why they didn't do that... after
all, they only begin their relationship..."
"Yes... but I hope everything will be okay... I mean what are going to tell
their friends and parents about their relationship? Plus, they still don't
know that Nick is blind..." said Scott as he looked at Nick and Brian.
"Oh, come on, they'll be fine! They're no reason they reject them! They're
still the same guys... except for the sexuality, of course." Said John.
"Yeah... I hope you're right..." said Scott
"I'm ALWAYS right." Said John in an arrogant voice.
"Of course..." said Scott as he shook his head.
"Hey!" said John in an offended voice. Scott just laughed.
"Anyway... what are you going to do, today?" asked Scott.
John smiled and as he was about to answer, Scott cut him.
"Yes I know, looking at the lovebirds... you're impossible." Said Scott as
he rolled his eyes.
"No I didn't... I was planning to go out today..." said John
"Really? Where?" asked Scott, a bit surprised.
"Where these two would go." Said John as he pointed Nick and Brian, still
asleep.
Scott looked at him and slapped him in the back, while chuckling. John just
smiled.
"And you?" asked John.
"Me?" said Scott
"Yes... what are you going to do?"
"Well... I was planning on going out in the town."  Said Scott. He looked at
his watch and said:
"I'll go now... I want to spend most time possible and learn more on this
century. If anything happen, call me by your watch."
"Alright." Said John as Scott walked near the door.
"Will I call you when they'll have hot and horny sex?" he asked, a big goofy
grin on his face.
Scott gave him a 'shut up' look and exited the room.
John just laughed and put his hands behind his head.
"You said 'if anything happen'..." he said while giggling.
He looked at the bed and saw Brian stirred a little. He stood in front of
the bed and just looked at what happen.
Brian opened his eyes and looked at the sleeping beauty in front of him. He
smiled and ran his right hand in his lover's hair.
"Wake up, sweetie..." he whispered as he leaned and slowly kissed Nick on
the lips. After a few seconds, Nick kissed back and hugged Brian closely to
him.
"Morning, Brian." He said as he opened his eyes. He didn't see anything but
as long as Brian was there, he didn't care.
"Morning, Nick." Said Brian as he cuddled Nick's back. "How are you?"
"Good, I guess..." answered Nick "Yet, I think I'll be better when I'll have
this surgery."
"Don't worry, Nick. Only three weeks and then you'll see again." Said Brian.
"I can't wait for that... I hope that these exams won't be painful..." said
Nick as he frowned a little. Brian smiled a little and kissed him on the
forehead.
"Don't worry... you remember that I did exams before my surgery..." said
Brian.
Nick looked at him with a sad face and hugged him tightly.
"Shh... Nick, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to..." started to say Brian when
Nick cut him.
"No... I'M sorry... I shouldn't react like that but I was so afraid at this
time..." said Nick as continued to hugged Brian.
"Don't worry, it's okay..." said Brian as he lifted Nick's face and kiss him
lovely on the lips.
"There's so cute... I wished I had my camera." Thought John.
Nick and Brian broke the kiss and cuddled.
"I love you, Brian."
"I love you too, Nick... God, we're only together for a week and I have the
impression that we're together since a very long time." Said Brian, smiling.
"Yeah, me too... perhaps because we were best friends before." Said Nick "I
know that I had already said that, but I was so afraid before that night, a
week ago... I was asking myself if I was normal, what will happen to us if
you'd reject me, what will happen to the group..."
"I know... but you know, if we found each other, it's for an only reason..."
said Brian as he looked in Nick's eyes.
"Which is?" asked both Nick and John, causing John to laugh a little.
"It's because we're destined to each other... You know, the first time I met
you, seven years ago, I felt something in my heart... I was very happy... I
was sure that we'd be very great friends... then the first time I kiss you,
I felt so happy and complete... I would have kiss you for the rest of my
live... God put us on this earth to be together, Nick." Said Brian. He then
saw a tear escaped from his left eye and slowly streamed down his face.
Brian leaned and kissed it away before Nick pulled him in a passionate kiss.
"I was waiting for something like that... it's sweet... I'm sure Scott would
love to hear that..." said John, smiling.
Brian broke the kiss and looked into Nick's eyes.
"So... what do you want to do today?" he asked.
"I don't know... perhaps we can stay in bed and play a little..." said Nick
as he slowly stroked Brian's right thick. Brian looked at Nick and slowly
pulled his hand away.
"No, Nick... I don't want to have sex..." he said seriously.
"What?" said John.
"But... why? Is it... me? I mean... I... don't attracted you?" asked Nick,
his voice cracking a bit.
"It's not that, Nick. You're very gorgeous." Said Brian as he lightly kissed
Nick on the cheek.
"Then why?" asked Nick.
"First, because I want you to see me. I want to you to see what we would
done... and second, I want to make love to you when you'll be ready." Said
Brian.
"But I'm ready." Said Nick. His voice shook a little.
"No you're not, Nick. I can see and feel it. If you're really ready, tell me
that you don't want to do this only because you have to think me at first."
Said Brian
Nick had his mouth opened. He then bent his head down, biting his lower lip.
Brian was right. He wanted to please Brian at first.
"It's not very intelligent, Nick." Said John "To make love when you don't
want to is one of the biggest mistake you could do."
Brian pulled Nick in his arms and kissed his forehead.
"It's okay, Nick. I'll wait as long as you want." Said Brian.
"Thanks, Bri... and you're right, it would be better if I see you." Said
Nick as he cuddled against his lover. He then pulled Brian in a passionate
kiss.
"'Right! I'll have to wait for another long time!" said John sarcastically.
He walked near the couch and sat down.
"I guess I just have to wait Scott..." he thought.

Scott walked in the street, enjoying watching everything that happen around
him. "Orlando is so different in my time..." he thought, "This is very
special..."
He continued to walk until he spot three guys walking in front of him. He
recognized Howie, AJ and Kevin.
"Yes, this is strange. I phoned several times at his house but he never
answered." Said AJ
"I was planning to go to Brian's house today. Perhaps he knew where he is."
Said Kevin.
"Yeah... I hope so. He left a message if he go on vacation." Said AJ, as he
scratched his head.
Scott followed him and arrived near a gray Mercedes.
"Everybody on board!" said Kevin as he walked in it. AJ, Howie and Scott
just laughed as they followed him.
"So... we go to Brian's?" asked Howie.
"Yes... we'll know where is Nick, I hope." Said Kevin.
"To Brian's house, huh? I better call John." Thought Scott as he used his
watch and select John's number.

John sat in the couch and sighed for the hundredth time as he watched Nick
and Brian cuddling.
"They're so cute... what could happen to them?" he asked himself.
He then heard a 'bip' noise. He looked at his watch and saw:
'Phone: Scott Richardson'
"Hey, I wondered what happen." He said as he switched on his phone.
"Yeah?" he said.
"John, it's me. I'm in a car with Howie, AJ and Kevin." Said Scott.
"Really? And why are you with them?" asked John
"Well, Kev said that they're going to Brian's place. So we'll be there
soon."
"Aaaah." Said John, content. "Finally, something is going to happen."
"I guess that nothing happen while I was outside, huh?" said Scott.
"Hell yeah something happen! Nick and Brian had HOT HOT SEXE! You know Nick
had started to kiss Brian in..." started to say John.
"STOP IT! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!" screamed Scott.
"Oh come on, bro, I was just kidding! They didn't do anything! Just kissing
and cuddling." Said John, giggling.
"Hmm... Anyway, we'll be there soon." Said Scott.
"Alright! See ya!" said John as he turned off the phone. He looked at the
lovers and saw Brian sat up.
"Brian... stay in bed." Pleaded Nick.
"Nick, I think it's time to get up." Said Brian.
"Not for us... come on, stay with me." Said Nick as he pulled down Brian.
"You know, you're impossible some time." Said Brian as he laid on top of
Nick.
"I know... now kiss me..." said Nick sexually. Brian smiled and started to
kiss Nick on the lips.
"Interesting..." said John as he walked closer to them.
Brian licked Nick's lips. Nick gladly opened his mouth and welcome Brian's
tongue with his own. They continued for a few minutes until they heard the
doorbell.
"Who could it be?" sighed Brian as he broke the kiss.
"Don't respond... they'll leave..." said Nick as he pulled Brian in another
passionate kiss.
"Hey! Brian! You're here man?" he heard AJ yelled.
"The guys..." said Nick, a worried look on his face.
"COMING!" screamed Brian. He then looked at Nick.
"Look, dress up and wait for me, okay?" said Brian.
Nick nodded and Brian got up and quickly dressed himself. He then took a
pair of clean boxers, one pair of baggie jeans and a white shirt for Nick.
He then quickly kissed Nick on the lips and went downstairs.

He opened the front door and saw AJ, Howie and Kevin.
"Hey guys!" he said as they entered in the house.
"How are you?" asked Kevin.
"Pretty good..." said Brian with a smile.
"We were wondering... do you know where Nick is? He's never at his house."
Said AJ.
"Yes... he's upstairs." Said Brian.
"What is he doing with you? You too vacations together?" asked Howie.
"Not really..." said Brian as he sighed.
"What happen, cuz?" asked Kevin, worried.
Brian looked at them and saw three worried faces.
"He's going to tell them."
"Look... take a seat in the living-room and wait a minute. I'll check on
Nick." Said Brian as he went upstairs.
Howie, AJ and Kevin looked at each other and then went to the living room.
AJ and Howie seat on the big couch and Kevin in an armchair.
"What do you think happen?" asked Howie.
"I don't know... but it's seem important." Said Kevin as AJ just nodded.
A minute later, Nick, Brian and John entered in the room.
"He's gonna tell them." Said John as he sat on the floor next to his
brother.
"Yeah, I know." Said Scott as they started to listen to the conversation.
"What's up Nick?" asked Howie.
Nick looked in AJ's direction and said:
"Good, thanks."
"Um... Nick I'm here." Said Howie, smiling.
Nick looked in another direction and sighed.
"Sorry... I don't know where you are." Said Nick.
"Huh?" said AJ and Howie, confused.
"That's what we're going to talk about, guys." Said Brian as he guided Nick
toward the couch and sat with him.
"What happen? I don't really understand." Said AJ.
"Well... about less than three weeks ago, Nick and I were watching a movie.
Then because of the storm, all the lights went off." Said Brian.
The other just nodded as he continued.
"When I was trying to repair, the TV switch on' abruptly, and a big flash
had hurt Nick's eyes who was just in front of the screen."
"Oh my god!" said AJ "You're okay, bro?" he asked to Nick. Nick turned his
head toward his direction and said:
"It's not over...". AJ could see that Nick's eyes were slightly blue instead
of the bright blue eyes that he had saw many times.
"We went to the hospital and Nick had some bandages to heal his eyes. We
returned a week later and found out that... Nick was still blind." Said
Brian.
"Oh no..." said Howie shocked.
"Oh Nick I'm so sorry..." said Kevin sincerely.
"There's another chance..." said Nick. AJ, Kevin and Howie said at the same
time:
"Really?"
"Yes... in three weeks, I must go to Los Angeles to do some exams and after
that I'll have a surgery. Then I'll see again." Said Nick.
"Thanks god..." sighed AJ in relief.
"Until then, I'll stay with Brian." He finished.
Kevin, AJ and Howie just nodded.
"If you need anything, just ask, okay?" said Kevin.
"Yeah, me too." Said Howie.
"Same for me." Said AJ.
"Thanks guys... you're the best." Said Brian and Nick, smiling.
"So... you want to stay and watch a movie? I'll command some pizzas." Said
Brian.
"Why not? I'm all for it!" said AJ as Kevin and Howie nodded.
"Alright I'll be back." said Brian as he went to the phone.
"Kristen don't mind if you stay here?" he asked Kevin.
"No... She's visiting her parents for two days... she'll be back tomorrow."
Brian nodded and dialed on the phone while AJ flipped the chain on TV; Nick,
Howie and Kevin made a talk.
"Well, that's all! I was sure they'll be nice." Said John.
"Me too." Said Scott.
"No you don't! You said that they will hate them and..."
"I SPOKE ABOUT THEIR LOVE, NUT! Not about the fact that Nick is blind!" said
Scott as he rolled his eyes.
"But you said something earlier about the fact that Nick was blind."
Insisted John.
"Well... okay, but now they know he's blind... they still don't know about
Brian and him." Said Scott
"I hope it will be okay..." said John.
"Hey! Now it's you who doubt?" said Scott, smiling.
"What?! No! It's not what I mean..." said John.
"Of course..."
"Oh well, OKAY! Yes! I'm worried! And so? You too?" said John.
"Yes..." said Scott as he watched Nick talking to his friends.

Several hours later...

While they were watching another movie, AJ, Howie and Kevin had all fell
asleep. Since Nick couldn't watch, he spent a lot of time talking quietly
with Brian. They had too finally fallen asleep. Except John and Scott who
were watching the movies with fascination.
"I love this classic sooo much." Said Scott as they watched the end of
'Matrix'.
"Yeah... I really love that too..." said John.
A few minutes later, they heard some noises behind them. They turned around
and saw AJ yawned. He then looked at his left and laughed a little. John and
Scott looked at this direction and saw Brian and Nick in each other arms at
the end of the couch. Brian's back were turned to AJ and Nick's head against
his chest.
"Oh oh." Said John.
Scott looked at AJ and saw Howie and Kevin, who were next to AJ, slowly woke
up. AJ turned off the TV and with a smile pointed Brian and Nick. They
giggled a little and stopped as they saw Brian stirred a little.
John went closed to the couple and saw Brian opening his eyes and smiling
lovingly to Nick. He gently ran his right hand in his hair as he said
softly.
"Wake up, baby."
AJ, Howie arch an eyebrow at the two as John and Scott looked nervously at
each other. Brian had completely forgotten that his friends were still
there.
John looked back Nick and saw him slowly opened his eyes.
"I wanna sleep..." he said as he cuddled against Brian.
"You'll sleep in bed. It's better than here." Said Brian as he slowly kissed
Nick's forehead.
Scott looked at the other and saw that they all have a face which wanted to
tell "What's they're doing...?"
Nick left his head and said:
"I will if you go with me."
AJ frowned, really wondering what's happening.
"They act as if they were a couple..." he thought.
"They are, AJ." Said John. Of course, AJ didn't hear him.
"OK." Said Brian as he started to move.
"Not now." Said Nick.
"Why?" asked Brian
"I want a kiss first or I won't go upstairs."
AJ, Howie and Kevin's eyes widened open as they heard that.
"I think it's time now..." said John nervously. Scott just nodded.
"You never have to ask." Said Brian as he pulled Nick in a passionate kiss.
John and Scott looked at the other three and weren't surprised by what they
saw. They have their mouth widened opened and a look of total shock.
"Mmmmmmm..." moaned Nick in the kiss.
"OH MY GOD!!!" screamed Howie and AJ.
Brian and Nick immediately broke the kiss and Brian turned around to see
three very shocked faces.
"Shit..." he said.
"I forget they were still here..." whispered Nick as he clutched at Brian's
body. Brian immediately hugged him back and said to the other.
"Now you know... Yes, Nick and I are together!" he said.
Kevin shook his head and looked at Brian then at Nick.
"Umm..." he said, still shocked.
"That's..." said Howie.
AJ opened his mouth and then closed it. He didn't know what to say too.
Nick, who couldn't see their faces, started to tremble. For him, it was a
bad sign.
"You... hate us, huh?" he asked with fear.
AJ's head snapped toward Nick's direction.
"It's just..."
"We were shocked..." said Howie.
"I'll never thought that... you and Nick... I mean... I always know that you
loved each other like brothers but I never thought that it was like...
lovers." AJ said.
"You're together for a long time?" asked Kevin.
"A week." Answered Brian. "Listen, guys. If you hate us then, please leave.
I love Nick and there's no way that I'll left him. He's my everything." He
said as he kissed Nick's head.
"Same for me... please... I love him..." said Nick as he continued to
tightly hug Brian.
Kevin looked at them mouth opened and said:
"Guys... there's no way that I hate you."
Brian looked at his cousin in wonder as Nick's face lit up.
"I can see that you're really in love... I know that love is a sacred thing
and you two have it... If it's all you feel than I'm for it." Said Kevin.
"Me too." Said both AJ and Howie, smiling.
"It was a shock but I know you're still the same guys, the same Nick and
Brian that we met a long time ago..." said AJ.
"That's what I wanted to say... you're still my best friends." Said Howie.
Nick and Brian could tell that they were sincere. They were so happy that
tears of joy streamed down their faces.
"Oh don't cry, come here!" said AJ as he walked toward them and pulled them
in a hug. Kevin and Howie came too and soon they were in a group hug, all
with smile on their faces.
"HURRAH!" screamed John as he jumped on his brother, causing the two to fall
on the ground.
"Hey, calm down!" said Scott as he pushed his brother away.
"They're all for it! I told you! I told you! I told you!" John said, truly
happy.
"Well... that's right." Said Scott as he watched the BSB broke their hug and
started talking.
"It will be more difficult now..." said Scott.
"About what?" asked John.
"Well, it will more difficult to know why the group had broken up." Said
Scott.
"Ah yes... I forgot." Said John. "Well... we'll see later."
"Just be careful when you two will be in public. No kiss, no intimate
touching... nothing." They heard Kevin said.
"Yes, dad." Said Nick and Brian at the same time while smiling.
Then they heard the phone starting to ring. Brian let go Nick and took it
up.
"Yes?" he said. "Yes, Jane, he's here don't worry... We just wanted to have
some time together... Yes hold on." He turned to Nick.
"Nick, it's your mother." He said. He gave him the phone and Nick said:
"Hi, mom... yes, I know. Sorry... Yes... Really?... Okay... See you soon...
Love ya too, mom. Bye." He said
"Why 'see you soon'?" asked Brian as Nick switched off the phone.
"Well... mom and dad will be there in Orlando for a few days next week. So,
I'll see them." Answered Nick.
"Cool." Said Brian.
"Wait a minute..." said Howie. Everyone looked at him.
"Are you going to tell your parents about..." said Howie.
"Brian and I?" said Nick.
"Uh yeah, but especially the fact that you're blind." Said Howie.
"I guess I'll have too... I just hope that they won't want me to go to Los
Angeles with them if I tell them." Said Nick as he searched for Brian. Brian
saw this and put his arms around him.
"I'll be there if you want. If they want you to go with them, you'll ask
them to take me with you. That you want your best friend with you while
you're waiting for your exams and surgery." He suggested
"Good idea." Said AJ.
Nick pulled Brian in his arms and kissed him on the head as the other said
"oooooooooh" before they started to laugh. After a good laugh, Howie said:
"So I guess you won't tell your parents about your man?"
"Not now... later, but not now..." said Nick.
"And you Brian? Are you going to tell the family soon?" asked Kevin.
"I prefer to wait a little... then I'll tell them." Said Brian.
As they continued to talk, John said:
"Well... everything is okay."
"Yes... for the moment." Said Scott.
"You'll see, bro. We just have to wait." Said John.
"Yes..." said Scott as he looked at Nick and Brian saying good bye to their
friends.
"Just have to wait..."
