Date: Sat, 4 Nov 2000 23:59:36 -0800 (PST) From: AJ Shukla Subject: Josh and Just 39 ****Hey you guys. No big message this week. Sorry this is late. But my event I was in charge of, went really well. Anyways you'll be dying to read this. So here you go!! Enjoy! Josh and Just 39 Justin slowly got out of JC's arms and ran his fingers through his curls. He looked around the room, his vision not yet focused, and let out a deep breath. He looked on the desk and found his glasses. He placed them on and looked around. He remembered that he was in the den where he had been unwrapping gifts. He looked at the clock on the wall and saw that his plane leaves in two hours. He tiredly got up and walked quietly through the house and up the stairs to his room. He opened the door to see Tyler snoozing on the bed in an awkward position. Justin walked to the closet and looked for something to wear. He grabbed a pair of nylon pants, a pair of boxers, and a T-shirt. He Grabbed a towel from the closet and was on his way to the bathroom. He stopped when he heard Tyler get up. "Morning." Justin said as he started to head into the bathroom. "Morning." Tyler replied groggily. "Sleep well?" Justin asked. "Yup. You?" Tyler asked. "Yup." Justin responded. "When's your flight?" Tyler asked. "Couple hours." Justin responded as he began to brush his teeth. "I'll make you breakfast." Tyler said as he got out of bed and started for the door. "Thanks." Justin said before spitting. He began his process of getting ready in the morning. It ended with him running his fingers through his hair and putting on his chain and bracelet. He grabbed his bags and started to head down the stairs. He placed his bags down near the door and looked back to see JC coming out of the den. "Morning Baby." Justin said as he walked over and placed a kiss on his cheek. "Morning. Why didn't you wake me?" JC asked. "You shouldn't have to get up for me. Plus you tossed and turned all night so I thought that maybe you could use the sleep." Justin responded. "Sorry." JC replied. "Nor problem. Oh! Okay I'm taking your leather jacket and that big sweatshirt you have to remember you by." Justin said as he held up the two. JC nodded and ran his fingers through his messed up hair. "Okay sounds good. Do you want me to drive you to the airport?" JC asked. "No thanks Babe. They are sending a cab. Now let's go eat breakfast. Tyler's cooking." Justin said with enthusiasm. JC grabbed his arm to prevent him from walking toward the kitchen. "Trust me, if Tyler's cooking, you don't want it." JC said seriously. Justin smiled and gave him a quick kiss. He suddenly heard a honk outside. Justin looked through the window to see the yellow cab. He let out a sigh and turned back to JC. "They are early. Well I guess I should go. Take care okay? And I'll call you when I get there." Justin said giving JC a deep kiss on his lips. "I love you." JC said as they separated. "I love you too." Justin replied before slipping on JC's jacket. He carried the sweatshirt in his arm while he clutched his two suitcases. JC watched as Justin walked out of the house toward the cab. He waved as the cab drove away with Justin in it. "Hello?" Justin asked into the phone. He wedged his cell phone between his shoulder and his ear as he walked while carrying his suitcases to the elevator. He pressed the button and place his bags down as he waited. "Hello? Justin?" A familiar voice asked in return. "Hi Karen. Yeah, it's me." Justin said as he tapped his foot impatiently waiting for the elevator to arrive. "Hello Sweety. How was your flight Dear?" Karen asked. "It was fine. A little bumpy but now I'm here." Justin said with a small nod. "Oh well I'm glad you're safe. Would you like to speak with Josh?" Karen asked. "Sure." Justin said as the elevator arrived. He once again wedged the phone on his shoulder while he carried his bags into the elevator. "Hello? Justin? I love you!" JC said into the phone. Justin started to snicker as he pressed the button to his floor. "I love you too." Justin replied with a laugh. "So what's up?" JC asked. "Well I'm in an elevator about to meet the other two people guest starring with me in this movie." Justin said with a huff to move a stray strand of hair out of his face. "Well good luck. Just know that they better not have a problem with my Justin." JC said with a small laugh. "Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So what are you doing?" Justin asked. "Well I'm kinda cleaning. Leo is kind of sick so he kinda threw up." JC replied. "Oh poor Leo. Is Ozzie sick too?" Justin asked. "No Ozzie's fine. We separated them for a little while. Just until Leo feels better. Oh and Kelly is here. She says Hi." JC said. "Oh well tell her I said hi. And oh! Can you make sure she makes an appointment with that prenatal doctor in Tennessee. For the day after she gets there." Justin said. He heard JC say what he said to Kelly. "Kelly said you worry too much." JC relayed. "Yeah well. That's my job. Hey Josh I'm gonna go now. I'm on my floor now. So I'll call you back later okay?" Justin asked. "Sure. I'll talk to you later." JC said. "Love you." Justin said "Ditto." JC said before they both hung up. Justin took a hold of everything again and walked out of the elevator. He walked down the hall to his apartment number. He stopped at his number and knocked on the door. Justin placed his bags down and waited. He soon heard the sound of the door unlocking. When the door opened he froze. He came face to face with a man. Both stood stunned looking at each other in stupefaction. Justin's mouth was on the floor while he pointed at the guy. The man was in the same position as he viewed Justin. "Do you know who you are?" they both said to each other. "You're Justin from N Sync." The man said toward Justin. "And you're Danny from the Real World!!" Justin shot back. JC laid down on the couch tiredly and closed his eyes. He felt Ozzie jump onto the couch with him and lay down between him and the back of the couch. Ozzie rested his head on JC's chest as he looked around the house. "Can you get off me? Do I look like your servant that carries you around all the time?" Chris yelled with laughter, as he came walking through the front door. JC sighed and opened his eyes. As he sat up he saw that Sarah was on Chris's back with her legs wrapped around his waist, while her arms around his neck. "You are my slave boy! Now get!" Sarah said as she dropped her hand to smack Chris's butt. "Man you guys are disgusting." Lance said as he followed them into the room. JC soon saw Britney and Christina follow into the room as well. "Hi everyone, what's up?" JC said with a small yawn. "Not much what about you?" Lance asked as he took a seat on the same couch as JC. Britney took a seat in Lance's lap. Christina took a seat in the recliner and closed her eyes. Chris and Sarah both laid down on the other couch. Chris spooned Sarah and held her closely. "Nuthin new. Just missing Justin." JC sulked. "It's only been a day!" Lance said in surprise. "Hey it's sweet!" Britney cooed. "I think it's pitiful." Lance laughed. "Wait until Britney leaves you for three weeks, and you'll know what I'm in." JC said with a huff. "You'll live." Lance said patting JC's knee. "So where's Joey?" JC asked. "He's with that guy from the bar. Remember?" Chris commented. "What's his name anyway?" JC asked. "I think it's Steve." Lance replied. "What do they check out girls together or something?" JC snickered. As he petted Ozzie's head generously. The dog stood up in excitement and jumped off the couch. He turned around and started to bark at JC playfully. JC laughed and placed a kiss before his eyes. "No I think he told me that Steve was gay." Lance added. JC nodded, ruffling Ozzie's hair. "Joey hang out with a gay guy? I wonder what they talk about." Christina snickered. "Drag queens." Chris joked. "I bet." Lance laughed along. "So How is out little Justin?" Britney asked. "He's fine. He called and was all excited about his new roommates. One is this up and coming actress. And the other is Danny from Real World New Orleans. He's all happy cause now he can talk to another gay person and know what's going on." JC said as Ozzie placed his head on JC's abs. "Really? It's Danny? I didn't know he could act." Lance said. "He can. I saw him on Dawson's Creek. He played this cute French guy." Sarah added. "All the cute one's are gay." Christina huffed and she flipped through a magazine she picked up. "Hey!!!!" Lance and Chris yelled. Christina gave them a grin before brushing her hair back. "Hey Josh look at this. Another picture of you and this Bobbi chick." Christina said tossing the magazine to JC. "Who the hell is she? They keep pairing me up with her when I have no freaking clue who she is." JC said looking at the picture. He began to scrutinize the girl in the background. "An obsessed fan?" Christina suggested. "Actually wait a minute!" JC said excitedly. "What?" Britney asked. "Hand me that tabloid near the fireplace. And turn to the page with me an this girl on it." JC said, keeping his eyes glued to the paper. Christina hopped up and tossed the paper to JC who flipped it open to the page. He looked at the two different pictures on the two different papers. He smiled in realization. "They are two different girls you guys. From a glance they look alike but when you look closely one has a mole at the corner of her mouth. See!" JC said excitedly. "You are such a dork." Chris joked as he started to rub Sarah's abs slowly. "Hey leave me alone! This is what happens when I'm deprived of my Justin." JC shot back before laying down and continuing to sulk. Justin walked out of the bathroom and walked into his room. He looked around at the room that was slightly bigger than a dorm room. He sighed and moved to his side of the room. He plopped down on the bed and stared at the ceiling. He let out another sigh before turning his head toward the side where a small nightstand was. He stared at the picture of JC. JC was laying down on a water raft as he floated in the pool. He was clad only in a pair of swimming trunks and was holding a glass in his hands. His eyes covered by a pair of sunglasses, yet having a gigantic grin. Justin smiled at the sight of him and turned slightly to stare at the picture. He heard the slight creak of the door, startling him a bit. Justin cast a gaze toward the door where he saw Danny leaning against the doorway with his arms crossed over his chest. He had a small smile on his face. "You miss him don't you?" Danny questioned. "How'd you know?" Justin asked as he looked at Danny. "Well it's not that difficult. You have pictures of him on your nightstand, you have him all in your wallet, and all you can do is refer to the way he keeps things back home." Danny said with a small laugh. He walked into the room and fell onto his own bed, facing the opposite direction to face Justin. "I try to be as straight acting as I can but I can't do it as well as you. What's your secret?" Justin asked. "Well it's not you, it's just the way you get when you mention him. You can totally tell that you are in love with him." Danny responded. "Management will have a cow if it comes out." Justin sighed before staring at the ceiling. "Well it's okay. Your secret is safe with me. So how serious is it?" Danny asked. "Getting married in December." Justin replied as he closed his eyes. "Wow! We didn't think it was that serious." Danny said in surprise. "We?! She knows too?" Justin asks. Suddenly, that she Justin was referring to, pokes her head into the room. "Of course she knows. Don't you Teri?" Danny asked as he looked up at her. "About Justin and Jason?" Teri, the third roommate, asked in return. "JC!" Justin quickly added. "Sorry. About Justin and JC? Yup. Totally obvious when I walked out of the bathroom in my swimsuit and all Justin did was gawk at a picture of JC." Teri giggled a little. Justin had a small smile cross his face. "Yeah well much rather look at JC's naked body than some woman who I barely know." Justin said arching his eyebrows. "Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I guess this is a gay guy conversation. I better get going and you should too Justin. Our scene is almost up. Don't be humping around now. You all have boyfriends." Teri said with a grin. Before leaving. "I have a finacé! Not a boyfriend!" Justin called out after her. "Whatever!" Teri yelled back form somewhere in the apartment. "So is JC coming up?" Danny asked. "Yup. Sometime next week. How about Paul?" Justin asked. "No Pa is really busy trying to get himself a whole month off so we can just travel a bit. He's pulling extra hours just to take me around." Danny smiled. "Cute." Justin replied. "I know." Danny responded. "Well I better go. If Josh calls, tell him to call my cell." Justin said as he got up. JC placed a wrapped gift under his arm as he ran his fingers through his hair. He looked at himself in the hallway mirror before walking down the stairs. The sound of the phone ringing made him hop down them faster. He grabbed the cordless off the foyer table and answered the phone on his way to the living room. "Hello?" JC asked as he popped down on the couch. He looked at his shoes and started to rub off a smudge. "Hey Josh!" Justin yelled into the phone. "Hey Babe. What's up? How's the movie going?" JC asked. "Doing good and going so so. So is Chris over yet? I want to wish him a happy birthday." Justin said excitedly. "Nope. He'll be here in a sec though. How've you been? How's the schedule for you?" JC asked. "It's been fine. I think I've been working too hard and so I'm getting a little sick. How have you been Babe?" Justin asked. "Fine I guess, you'll be proud of me! Stacey invited me over for a dinner, but I said `nope! Not without my Justin'." JC said happily. "You're so cute." Justin replied with a sigh. "I miss you Sweetheart." JC said softly into the phone. "I miss you too but you're coming up here in a couple days right?" Justin asked. "Yeah I'll be there this weekend. Oh do you want anything from here that you want me to bring up?" JC asked. "Just yourself and oh!! Maybe that really nice shirt that you wear that hugs your body tightly. And also your turtle neck that I like." Justin requested. "Should I just mail our closet to you?" JC asked. "Just your clothes." Justin replied. "So how are the roomies?" JC asked as he "They're fine. Busy working right now. It's funny cause there is this one scene that Me and Danny have and well we can never get past this line. It's mostly his fault though. Cause I'm about to say the line while his back is to the camera. And well he makes faces at me and I end up cracking up. So the director hates me now." Justin said casually. "Well he's not very smart than. Who can resist such a handsome face as yours." JC said. "Apparently him." Justin replied. JC looked toward the door to see who was walking through. Leo and Ozzie came running into the room along with Chris, Sarah, Joey, and Lance. Leo hopped onto the couch and laid down tiredly as he looked up at JC with a sad look. "Anyways Chris is here. You want to talk to him?" JC asked. "Yeah sure!" Justin said excitedly. JC handed the phone to Chris before taking a seat on the couch with Leo again. Lance took a seat with him. "So Josh. Where are you parents and stuff?" Lance asked. "Well the whole family went for some last minute shopping before they pack up." JC said as he laid back on the couch. Leo crawled over and placed his head in JC's lap. "Oh poor Puppy. I know you're still a little sick. I'm sorry you'll get better I swear." JC said as he leaned down and placed a kiss on top of the dog's head. "He's still sick?" Lance asked. "Yeah just a bit, OH hey can you watch the dogs when I go up to visit Justin?" JC asked. "Yeah, no problem." Lance said as he watched Chris get all excited. "Hey JC? Do you know where we're taking him?" Sarah asked taking a seat on the recliner. "Well I guess to that place he likes, even though we all hate it." JC shrugged. Sarah made a distorted face before watching everyone go about their business. "Hey Joey! Nice to finally see you. It feels like you've away so long." JC said. "What do you mean?" Joey asked. "Well every time we've gotten together, you've always been with Steve." JC said as threw a false look of hurt to Joey. "Oh come on. He's cool. You guys will like him." Joey said as he plopped onto the floor. "What do you guys do together. You obviously don't harass girls, seeing how he's not into them and all." Lance replied. "We talk. We have a good time. You know like what you and Britney do." Joey responded. "Yeah but me and Brit are a couple. You're not thinking of crossing the road to JC's side of the street are you?" Lance joked. "Ha. Ha. Ha. At least I'm not pinpointed as the gay one in the group like someone here." Joey said casting a look back at Lance. Justin walked into the apartment and threw his back pack on the floor by the door. he walked into the kitchen area and sniffed around at what Danny was cooking. He lifted the lid of a pot to look inside. He gave a simple nod at the choice of food before walking to the fridge and pulling out a coke. "Why the fancy dinner?" Justin asked as he jumped up a little so that he was sitting on the counter watching Danny cook. "Well since you're groom to be is coming tonight I thought that I'd make something nice." Danny said. "That and he didn't have any scenes and need something to take up time so he didn't feel tempted to call Paul." Teri said walking out of the hallway and into the kitchen. "What's up between you and Paul?" Justin asked taking a sip from his coke. "I don't want to talk about it." Danny said before adding some salt into the pot. "They got into a fight." Teri said as she leaned against the fridge with her arms folded over her chest. "Over what? I thought you two were happy!" Justin responded in surprise. "Yeah well he decided to buy this outrageous painting for our room just to help out a friend. And he didn't even run it by me." Danny replied as he turned around and faced both Teri and Justin. "I can see where you're coming from." Justin nodded. Teri nodded in agreement. The phone sounded through the room. Justin hopped up excitedly and started jumping up and down like a child at a baseball game. "It's Josh, It's Josh, It's Josh!" Justin said as he grabbed the phone. "Hello?" Justin asked excitedly. His look of enjoyment diminished to a frown. "Oh it's you." Justin said dejectedly. "Well I love you too Justin." The voice replied. "Sorry Paul, didn't mean it like that. I just thought you were someone else." Justin said into the phone. He saw Danny roll his eyes as soon as he heard his boyfriends name. "Would that someone be Joshua???" Paul asked in a mischievous way. "Yes I thought you were Josh. Now lay off, cause I'm mad at you." Justin said into the phone. "Why?" Paul asked. "You bought that painting without Danny's permission. I knew that if JC bought a painting that was a lot of money without asking me then he'd be sleeping on the couch, or the futon at most." Justin said with finality. "I'm sorry Justin. I don't know how much Danny wants me to say that. I already left twelve messages on his voice mail. And I told Teri twice and e-mailed him ten times. He just won't answer me." Paul said in desperation. "Well it looks like you're not trying enough." Justin joked. "Can you please talk to him?" Paul begged. "I'll see what I can do, but just know that I'm rooting on his side." Justin joked again before hanging up the phone. "What did he have to say?" Danny asked as he kindly pushed Teri off the fridge so he could get something. "Nothing just that he's sorry. Sooner or later, I'll forgive him. most likely tomorrow." Danny said with a small grin. "You two have a weird relationship." Justin laughed as he looked out the window. He gasped when he saw small raindrops burst against the window. Both Teri and Danny looked toward the windows when hearing the steady rain fall increase steadily. "I hope JC gets here soon." Justin said with a small sigh. "He will don't worry." Teri said as she patted Justin on the back. Justin sat on the couch, wrapped in a blanket as he watched the TV tiredly. The sound of the rain falling against the glass made the apartment quiet and echo with sounds. Every now and then a small rumble would roll through the town. Justin looked out the window from his spot on the couch and tightened the blanket that enveloped him. He moved his hand so he could scratch his bare chest, which was under the covers. He pulled his pajama pant covered legs up underneath him as he flipped through the channels. Danny walked into the living room and snickered when he saw Justin wrapped in the giant comforter. Danny sat on the couch next to Justin and looked at the TV. He had on a pair of boxers and a dark turtle neck sweater. "He still hasn't showed up?" Danny asked. "Nope." Justin replied sadly. He got up, with the blankets still around him and started to pace in front of the windows. He slowed down and stopped in front of the large picturesque window. He saw a sudden burst of lightning, light up the streets and sighed when seeing nothing. He stared for a couple minutes before closing his eyes. He opened them and saw a man walking down the street carrying a small duffel bag in one hand and a larger suitcase type bag in the other. Justin smiled as the man past through the rain toward their building. He passed under a street lamp which illuminated his face. Justin smiled in recognition. "Josh is here!" Justin said with a smile. He watched as a drenched body walked into the building. Justin quickly rushed to the door and looked through the peephole for the face he missed for over a week. "You are so pitiful." Danny said as he fell onto the couch, watching Justin act like an excited little kid. Justin's eyes soon caught hold of JC in the peephole. Justin through open the door and smiled at the sight of JC. JC stood in front of him wearing a knee length trench coat, completely soaked from head to toe. Justin quickly rushed forward and hugged JC in his half-naked state. "I missed you so much." JC whispered as he placed a small kiss on Justin's cheek before hugging him back. "I missed you too. Why are you all wet? Didn't you take a cab?" Justin asked as he pulled back and pulled JC into the apartment. "Well the cabs are all out of service I guess, so I took a tram to this one stop and had to walk the rest. But it started raining as soon as I got on the tram." JC said out of breath. Justin took the bags and placed them to the side and pulled JC's coat off, while kicking the door closed with his foot. He took the coat and placed it near the fireplace which was lit by a blazing fire. JC watched Justin pick up the blanket he had once wore and wrap it around JC's shoulders. "Josh you should change. You might get sick." Justin said looking at the state of the coat. JC took off his drenched shoes and sock and placed them by his jacket. "No it was just my coat that is mostly wet. I'm pretty dry everywhere else." JC responded. Justin smiled at the sight of JC once again and placed a kiss on his lips for no reason. "I'm so glad you're here." Justin said as he wrapped an arm around JC's waist and rested his head against JC's chest. "I'm glad to be here." JC replied as he looked around the apartment with wonder. "Hey Josh let me introduce you to someone. This is Danny, Danny this is Josh." Justin said hugging JC's tighter. JC had an arm placed around Justin's shoulder while the other rested by his side. He brought his free hand up and shook Danny's. "Nice to meet you." JC said with a small nod. "Nice to meet you too. Justin has told me everything about you." Danny said with a small laugh. "Good things I hope." JC said with a laugh. "Most of them good." Danny replied jokingly. Justin lead JC to the couch and took a seat next to him. "Anyway, I guess I should let you two get reacquainted, I'm going to turn in. Goodnight you two." Danny said before leaving. "Goodnight." JC said with a wave. "I'm so glad you're here." Justin said taking JC's hand and placing a small kiss on the palm. "I'm glad I'm here too." JC said before pulling Justin closer to him. "tell me everything. What's going on? Who's doing what? Who's still annoying?" Justin asked curiously. "Well let me think. Well Kelly is fine. Chris had a great birthday. I walked in on him and Sarah groping each other on the couch at his house. I had nightmares for like a couple of nights. Joey is the same. Britney and Lance are fine. Christina is planning on her next tour. Oh Jennie and John! Well they are pregnant now. Seth is eagerly waiting to be an older brother." JC said with a small nod. "That's cool!" Justin said happily. "Other than that nothing." JC said with a small yawn. "You tired?" Justin asked. "Yeah a little." JC said as he closed his eyes for a second before opening them. "How about we got to bed while and I'll give you a tour of the place tomorrow." Justin said quietly while running his fingers through JC's hair. JC nodded slightly before getting up tiredly behind Justin. The sound of the rain falling continued all night to the morning where the sun barely got a chance to poke through the clouds. The rain continued to tap against the window continuously. The apartment was al quiet besides a body exiting the bathroom with a towel around his neck, clad only in a pair of boxers. He dried his hair as he quietly entered his room. He looked around at the messy room and trudged along to his side of the room. He took a seat on the bed while he rummaged through his suitcase which was open on the floor. He pulled out his clothes and looked up at the other bed in the room. Justin and JC were facing each other while sleeping soundly. Justin's arm rested at the side of JC's neck while JC's arm wrapped loosely around Justin's waist. Danny smiled at the thought before starting to get dressed. He quickly through on his clothes and did his hair before glancing at his watch. He let out a sigh before walking to Justin's bedside. "Justin." Danny whispered softly. Justin continued his slumber soundly. "Justin. Wake up." Danny said as he poked Justin's shoulder. Justin groaned a bit before rubbing the spot where Danny poked him. Danny looked around the room trying to find an item. He quickly found a balled up sock and aimed it for Justin's head. He tossed it toward Justin, landing on Justin's face. Justin woke up with a startle and looked around before realizing he was in his room. He gave a perplexed glance to Danny before laying down on the bed. "You're scene is on in like two hours. You have to get ready and head down there for make-up." Danny said before grabbing his wallet and keys and stuffing them into his pockets. "Okay." Justin said with a groan. He rubbed his face before letting out a small yawn. He climbed over JC and stood next to the bed. He quickly scribbled a note to JC and placed it by the bed between the pictures of JC and himself. Justin leaned down and placed a small kiss on JC's cheek before heading toward the bathroom. JC let a yawn escape his lips as he heard the continual sound of water against the window pane. He rubbed his eyes as he turned in bed and stretched slightly. He blinked his eyes for a second before looking around. He realized that he was in Justin's bed in his apartment in Vermont. He let out a stifled groan before turning to face the pictures on the nightstand. And found a piece of paper propped up between them. He took the note curiously and noticed it was addressed to him. He laid back in bed and looked up at the note which he held before him. He opened it and smiled at the sight of Justin's handwriting. "Dear Josh, I had to go to the set early for a scene. You can stay in the apartment and hang out or you can go site seeing or something. I'll be home at night. If you want to come to the set than the directions are on the fridge. See you Later. I love you. Justin." JC read. He let out a small laugh before sitting up in bed. He started the slow and arduous process of getting ready in the morning but was soon finished. He ran his fingers through his hair and grabbed his wallet before walking toward the door. He made his way down to the street and started his way to the set. He made his way through the streets of the small town to the set which was on the edge of town. He soon arrived to the area where the movie was being shot and found himself blocked by a barricade. A guard stood still in front of the entrance, blocking anyone form entering. "Uhm. Hi, I'm a friend of one of the actors on the set. Do you know where I can find Justin Timberlake?" JC asked. "I'm sorry I'm not allowed to let you in unless you have a pass." The guard replied. "But I'm supposed to meet Justin here." JC persisted. "I'm sorry Mister but unless invited in my Mr. Timberlake of given a pass to enter, then I can't let you in." The guard replied. "JC! JC!" Both of them heard someone calling JC's name. JC looked passed the guard to see Danny walking out of a trailer toward him. "Hey Phil. It's okay he can come in with me." Danny said to the guard. The guard in turn nodded and moved so JC could pass through. Danny took a sip from the water he was carrying and led JC through the area. "So what are you doing here?" Danny asked. "Well I thought I'd come visit Justin and see how he was doing." JC said he followed Danny past trailers and tents. The rain had diminished to a light sprinkle and was just lightly coating everything with moisture. "Well he's on set right now. So what time did you wake up?" Danny asked as he continued to walk with JC toward Justin's set. "About forty-five minutes ago. What about you guys?" JC asked. "Uhm about six or so." Danny replied leading JC into a warehouse type building. JC looked around and saw that it was a very dark and dingy place. "What scene is this?" JC asked. "This is when Justin is kidnapped and brought here. He's some famous guy and that guy right there is a psycho fan. He ends up trying to rape him." Danny said as he led to the set where JC saw Justin talking with the director. "Does Justin know he's supposed to get raped in the movie?" JC asked worriedly. "Yeah, we were reading over our lines a couple days ago. Why?" Danny asked. "No reason just something that happened a while ago." JC said brushing off the subject. "Oh okay. Hey they are about to start we have to be quiet now take a seat right here." Danny said walking up to one of the set chairs which was had a clear view of the set. Justin walked onto the set and got into place. He cast a look in JC's direction and smiled when he saw JC. He slipped JC a small wave before he heard the director yell action. The man that Justin was kidnapped by took him by his arm and threw him into a chair. Justin fell into the chair and grimaced from the suddenness. "What do you want from me?!" Justin yelled at him with visible spite. "I want you. You are perfection and all I've ever wanted to do it touch you and feel your skin under my fingertips." The man responded as he ran his grimy fingertips over Justin's cheeks. Justin pushed the man back and attempted to get out of the chair. "Sit down!" The man replied as he pulled a knife out in front of Justin. Justin slowly sat back down in fear, never losing his sight of the blade in front of him. Justin began to perspire slowly from his forehead. He looked fearfully the man in front of him. "You are going to love me!" The man said through gritted teeth. "You're sick." Justin said softly. "I'm sick! I'm sick!" the man replied in astonishment. He pulled Justin to his feet before throwing him to the ground. "You WILL Love me." The man replied as he held the blade to Justin's throat. Justin began to hyperventilate as the sweat began to moisten his face. "Wow Justin looks really scared." Danny whispered to JC. JC looked at Justin with worry. He stood from his seat and walked briskly to the director. "You've got to call cut." JC said as he continued to watch Justin in the scene. Justin began to squirm under the man as the man began to unzip his pants. Justin began to slowly whimper. "No. No. Please don't." Justin said as the tears began to sting his eyes. "Who are you? Keep rolling." The director said as he watched Justin with excitement. "You have to get him out of there." JC said with frenzy. "Please stop. No. Please Don't. I'll give you anything." Justin said as he began to sob. "That's not in the script." Danny aid as he stood form his chair. He looked over at the scene. The man looked at the director in confusion before looking back at Justin. He continued to act in an utter state of confusion to what Justin was doing. "You have got to get him out of there!" JC said more forcefully. "He's supposed to kick and scream causing the guy to fall." Danny said as he came up behind JC. "Josh." Justin let out a stifled cry. "Get him out of there!!!" JC yelled. "Josh!!" Justin began to yell through his sobs. "Cut." The director yelled. JC quickly ran towards Justin, jumping over all the props that made the set look like an abandoned warehouse. He went to Justin's side and made sure Justin was okay. Justin quickly pulled JC into a hug and buried his face into JC's shoulder. "Shhh. Just. It's okay." JC said as he slowly rocked Justin back and forth. JC sat on the padded bench in Justin's trailer with his arm on the back of the backboard next to him. Justin was laying on the built-in couch with his head resting on a pillow in JC's lap. JC let his other hand run through Justin's hair slowly, his gaze never leaving Justin's face. His eyes slightly swollen and tear stained. His cheeks flush and bright. JC let the hand on the back of the couch fall and lightly rub Justin's chest. Slowly going back and forth, feeling sadness for Justin. He soon heard the small click of the door and looked toward it to see who it was. Danny poked hi head in and looked around. His eyes connected with JC's and he gave him a small smile. "How's he doing?" Danny asked. "He doing alright. Just a little worn out." JC replied softly, his voice hoarse with the lack of use. He cleared his throat and nodded. "That was some weird stuff back there." Danny said taking a seat on the small chair nearby. "Yeah it was." JC nodded. "I wonder why he got so freaked out." Danny said as he looked at the sleeping Justin with sympathy. "Well it was bringing back bad memories." JC said softly, as he brought a stray strand of Justin's hair out of his face. "What do you mean?" Danny asked in confusion. "Well about a year ago a couple of weeks ago, Justin was raped by some man that threatened to stab him. And well he basically forgot all about it until today when it jogged his memory. He had to live through it all again." JC said softly. "Oh my god. I'm so sorry. I didn't know." Danny replied. "No it's okay. I just thought that it was pretty much known. It was kind of covered on the news. But they labeled it as a mugging." JC said, he quickly became quiet as Justin turned on the seat and faced JC's stomach. "Josh?" Justin asked gently. "Yeah Sweetheart?" JC asked in return, running his finger through Justin's gelled curls. Justin let out a satisfied sigh when hearing JC's voice and soon drifted back to sleep. "Poor Justin." Danny said. JC simply nodded in return. JC let out a small sigh as he hefted his bag onto his shoulder. He stepped off the gate and into the terminal. He looked around for a second before starting to head toward the exit. "Josh!" He heard somewhere in the crowd. He lowered his hat on his head and looked around at who called him. He smiled when he recognized the face. "Hey Joey." JC said as he gave him a quick hug. "How was Vermont? How was Justin? Did he get one of those superstar attitudes yet?" Joey laughed. "Well I dunno. I barely got to see him the whole time." JC sighed. "What do you mean? I thought this whole trip was to see each other again. Did I miss something?" Joey asked. "No how about we talk about this in the car." JC suggested. Within minutes the guys had gotten JC's bag from the baggage claim and were on the way home in Joey's car. "So what happened?" Joey asked. "Well I dunno the first night was perfect. I arrived and there was a small storm going on and we cuddled and we kissed and all that stuff that I missed so much. And then the next day he had to do a scene where he was kidnapped. And in that scene the guy tries to rape him." JC said, sort of trailing off at the end. "Uh oh. Don't tell me he. . ." Joey was cut off by JC. "Justin starts having flashbacks or something and starts to panic. Well that day he took it easy. But that moved the entire schedule back a day. So he had to double time it in order to make up for that scene. So the whole trip was watching him act, talking with Danny, and sleeping next to him." JC said with a sorrowful sigh. Joey reached over and rubbed JC's shoulder with his free hand. "It'll be alright. He'll be soon. Right? When is he coming home?" Joey asked. "Well I think this weekend. Either on the early flight or the later flight. I'm not sure." JC said. "Why would he take the later flight?" Joey asked. "He doesn't want to miss the football game. Tennessee is playing." JC laughed. "That's our Curly." Joey smirked. "Hello? Anyone home?" Lance yelled as he walked into the house. He heard the sound of claws clattering against the floor before seeing both Leo and Ozzie running toward him. Lance generously petted both of them before walking into the house. He poked his head in the living room and found no one. He heard the sound of the door to the den open, causing his eyes to divert toward the sound. He saw JC walk out of the den hurriedly. "Hey Jace, What's your rush?" Lance asked noticing JC quickly walking from place to place. "I have to finish my work and take a shower before I have to go to the airport and pick up Justin. His flight is landing in about. . ." JC trailed off and looked at his watch. His eyes bugged out as he read the time. "Now! His flight just landed." JC said quickly. "Josh you get ready, cause well you stink, I'll go pick up Justin. Cool?" Lance asked. "Oh Lance that'd be great but do you think Justin would mind that I didn't come to pick him up?" JC asked. as he ran back to the den. "JC, I'll explain everything. I'm sure he'd rather you take a shower than to pick him up all rank." Lance snickered before heading tot he door. JC quickly walked to the desk in the den and cleaned it up a bit before he got up from the chair. He walked into the kitchen and poured the dogs some dog food before running up the stairs. And cleaning up their room. He glanced at his watch and figured that Justin would be home in about ten minutes or so. He quickly turned on the shower and ran back into the room to see if he should get his clothes. He thought for a second and walked back to the bathroom with just a towel in his hands. He took off his clothes and tossed them into the hamper. He stepped into the shower and started to loosen up to the hot water that poured over him. He lathered up his body with soap and began to rinse it off gently. He let out a sigh as he relaxed in the soothing water rolling over him. He let a giant grin grace his lips as two hands wrapped around his waist and began to run up and down his taut belly. He smiled as he thought of Justin naked in the shower with him. JC began to move his hands to the hands that roamed his body. "Hey Justin, how was your fli. . ." JC trailed off when he felt the hands that were roaming his bodies. They weren't Justin's. His eyes bugged as he felt the hands encircling him. He wasn't surrounded by Justin's strong arms and hands. He wasn't feeling the firmness of Justin's skin over his lean muscles. Instead he felt feminine fingernails and slender arms. He quickly pulled away and turned around, pinning himself in the corner of the shower. He stared at shock at the person. "Stacey?! What are you. . .Why did you. . .What the hell is. . . What's wrong with you !?!" JC stumbled. He tried hard to cover his groin area with his hands. "Hey Josh, see I knew you could enjoy the touch of a woman if you felt it." Stacey smirked. JC soon realized that Stacey stood completely nude in front of him. He diverted his eyes and tried to speak with her. JC quickly grabbed the glass sliding door to the shower and opened it. He stumbled out and grabbed a towel quickly. He wrapped it around his waist and backed out of the shower. As he walked into the bedroom he noticed Stacey not too far behind, completely in the buff. JC backed away slowly away from her while keeping his arms in front of him to ward her back. "Stacey why the hell are you here? You know I love Justin and only Justin." JC said nervously as he continued backing up. Soon his thighs met the end of the bed which caused him to glance back nervously. When he turned back, Stacey had rushed in front of him, wedging him between the bed and herself. JC tried to push her back, trying to be polite and not touch certain body parts. "I know you want me JC. I've known since the first day I met you. You checked my legs out the whole time." Stacey said seductively. "How can I not look at them. You were wearing a little skirt that went half way up your ass." JC said in anger. Stacey began to let her hand roam over his upper torso. "Stacey stop it!" JC replied trying to resist more, yet trying to be polite. "I want you JC." Stacey whispered seductively. She let her hand travel down to his towel and slowly pull it off. "And I know you want me too." Stacey said before grabbing his penis. "Josh! I'm home! Did you miss m. . ." Justin stopped when he saw JC sitting on the edge of the bed while Stacey cupped his manhood, both completely in the buff. He stared at JC who stared back at him mortified. Stacey stood up a little bit and let JC move away from her. "Justin, it's not what it looks like." JC said quickly. Justin eyes became glazed with tears as he looked at JC's nude form and then at Stacey's and finally back to JC's. Justin began to shake his head still in astonishment. JC grabbed his towel and wrapped it around his waist and started to move toward Justin. Justin stepped back, away from him, not wanting to be around him. "Justin please?" JC begged as he walked forward. "No." Justin said before he turned around and started to head out of the hall. He ran down the stairs and toward the front door. Lance watched Justin run out of the house in a mixture of anger an sadness. "Justin What's wro. . ." Lance stopped when he saw JC ran after him in his towel. "What the hell is going on here?" Lance said as he followed them outside. "Justin wait." JC begged. Justin looked up from the car door which he was trying to open with his key. He stared at JC in disbelief. "You know I trusted you way too much. I told everyone that you would not do anything with her because you loved me so much, but I guess I was wrong!!" Justin shot back in anger while small tears stung his eyes. "Justin I didn't do anything. I thought it was you and then when I turned arou. . ." "Save it! I don't want to here it. I never want to see you again." Justin yelled. With that said he quickly pulled off the engagement ring that JC had given him and threw it directly at JC. It hit JC in the chest and was about to fall to the ground, when JC caught it in his hands. He watched as Justin's car pulled out of the driveway and sped down the street until it disappeared. To be Continued. . . ****Hehe hope you liked it. Until next time. CYA.
