Josh and Just 46 Justin pulled up to the traffic light and let out a small sigh. He looked away from the road in front of him and glanced at the neighborhood he was in. He glanced at the bus stop where a man sat on the bench, with a woman standing between his legs and leaning down to press small kisses on his lips. Justin averted his eyes from yearning and looked at the other side of the street where a he saw a couple walking together. The man held a small child with one arm while his other hand was linked with a woman that walked next to him. all three had smiles on their faces as they walked through the slightly chilly weather. He quickly looked away when he saw the man lean in to kiss the woman. He looked back at the road in front of him before glancing quickly to the multi-page contract that was sitting in the front passengers seat. He stared at the contract as if it were a chore that he was going to have to face. He heard several honks from the cars behind him and looked up to see the light was green. He stepped on the accelerator and drove down the street. He continued to drive toward the home he and his husband lived in. He turned into his gated community and stopped at the stop sign. He looked at the park in front of him and saw two men playing basketball. They dribbled around in long sleeve T-shirts and shorts for a while before one of the men propped the ball between his hip and his hand and bent over from exhaustion. He stood up straight and smiled at the other man. The other man came closer and gently started to kiss the first man. Justin smiled at the sight, not realizing he was stopped at the stop sign. Quickly he saw the other man take the ball away from the first man. Justin quickly heard another honk which snapped him out of his stare of the two men. He let out another sigh and made his way home. "Just! Come on, We have to go to the compound! We're going to be late." JC said as he lugged his suitcase down the stairs. He placed it next to Justin's bag which sitting in the foyer. Justin started to walk down the stairs in the midst of putting a bandana around his shortly cut curls. He had an emotionless face which instantly made JC frown. "Okay Just, stop! Tell me what's wrong." JC said as he stopped Justin by standing in front of him. "I dunno." Justin said with a small shrug. He moved around JC and walked into the living room where he picked up his jacket from the couch. "Justin! Come on, I'm your husband. Tell me. If you do, I'll buy you some ice cream." JC said with a smile, enticing him as he would Steven of Jonathan. He placed his hands on Justin's hips and continued to smile. Justin's face slowly broke into a smile. He gently looked down, so that the top of his forehead rested against JC's chest, while stared down at the ground. JC reached down a bit and kissed the back of Justin's head. "Josh I dunno, it's just that. . . well I was driving. . . and I kept seeing these. . . couples and stuff. . . and I dunno. . .it just got to me. . . and all of it just came at me all of a sudden. . . and I was going to. . . but I dunno. . ." Justin said as he looked up at JC. JC placed his hands on Justin's' cheek and placed a small kiss in the midst of his rambling. "Justin, Baby, What is it?" JC asked softly. Justin looked into JC's eyes and returned the look of love, with a look of worry. "I want to come out." Justin whispered. Lance laid on the couch while his face was turned toward the TV. He let out a small yawn before checking his watch. "I hate coming here. Johnny is always too cheap to get DirectTV. And I always end up getting the lumpy bed." Lance huffed as he resumed staring at the TV. "Lance, you know Justin and JC haven't come yet. If you hurry you can take their usual room." Chris said. Lance smiled and began to get up from the couch. The front door quickly opened and in an Justin. "I call the room that me and JC always sleep in!" Justin quickly yelled. Lance's face of hope abruptly diminished to sadness. Justin snickered at Lance before going back outside. Lance looked toward the doorway and heard shuffling outside. He watched as two dogs came trotting into the house. Leo and Ozzie quickly ran toward Lance and began to lick his face with excitement. "Hey fellows! How are my two favorite dogs?" Lance asked the two. Justin and JC walked in with Justin carrying baby Hunter in his arms. "Hey guys." Joey said coming from the kitchen with a can of soda in his hands. "Hey Joey." JC said as he closed the door to the house. "So did you guys bring your contracts?" Chris asked from the recliner. JC pulled two contracts out from the duffel bag he threw by the door. "Cool." Chris said as he turned in his chair, so that he was sleeping on his side. "Hey everyone, glad you guys are all here finally. Will you guys have a seat around the room?" A man asked as he came down the stairs. Lance got up and sat on the couch, making room for JC and Joey. Justin fell into the loveseat and continued to hold the small dog in his arms. Hunter began to hop out of Justin's arms and started to walk on the couch. The man took a seat on a empty chair blocking the TV. "Aw man!" Lance said before turning off the TV. "Okay guys. You all received your contracts and I want to know what you want changed before you sign it." Johnny said as he looked at all the guys. Everyone looked at each other before looking back at Johnny. "Well I guess I'll start." Lance said. "Well it says in here that we have to keep our relationships a secret. And I'm sorry but I'm growing up and I don't think I can stay single for the girls all my life. I think all of us should have the right to be open with our relationships." Lance said clearly. "Well I guess you are right that you should have the right to be open about your relationships, but there can only be so much. I'll change the stipulation in the contract that says you cannot and you guys can come out so to speak." Johnny said. "Speaking of coming out, you guys Justin and I have talked about this and well we want to come out. But we're aren't going to do it unless you guys disagree." JC said. "Absolutely not." Johnny said quickly. "Now wait up a minute Johnny. I think that they have a right to come out. And we've already had two successful albums and the third is in the making. I think that they should have the same rights we do and this way we won't have to be as discreet anymore." Chris supported. "I totally think that they should come out, but looking from the business aspect, we have to realize there might be a drop in sales because of it. not everyone is as open as we are." Lance threw in. Justin nodded to what Lance said. "You guys cannot do that. It is too soon." Johnny said. "Listen Johnny. Our contract just ended. And we're about to sign a new one. Right now, you can't tell us what to do. We know you are a great guy and we want to continue working with you, but if you can't give us what we want then I know of at least three labels that are willing to take us on." Joey said to Johnny seriously. "But you guys have to realize that your popularity might go down." Johnny added. "Johnny you have to realize that we are willing to take that risk for Justin and JC. I would give my right arm for them if I had to. And if this makes them happy then I say we should support them." Chris said. "As much as I'm worried about the sales, Justin and JC come first. So if they want to come out, then it's not for us to decide, it's for us to be there for them." Lance quickly tossed in. "You know that Jive is not going to like this right? I don't even know if they'll take you if you guys do this." Johnny said. "Well Johnny, just tell them what we told you. We can easily slide over to Atlantic Records, or AM records, Or even Virgin." Joey said. "Okay you guys, I'll take back all of these and I'll tell them what you want, I'll let you know by tomorrow. How about that? But until then I want you guys to create the set list for the tour." Johnny said with a sigh of defeat. "Okay Johnny. Thanks for being so understanding." Justin said looking up at the man who just stood up. "No problem Justin. I'll be there for you, once I can battle with the label. I'll try and back you guys up as much as I can okay?" Johnny said with a smile. "Bye Johnny!" They all said as he was walking away. "Okay you guys. Now we have to ask you something else." JC said once Johnny left the room. "Shoot." Lance said waiting for what JC and Justin have to say. "We want to come out on a show that has basically helped N Sync from the start and we you guys to be with us." Justin said, while petting Hunter who stayed on the couch away from Leo and Ozzie. "Well I know that MTV has helped us, specifically Dave Holmes." Chris said petting Leo who was near him. "We always go on MTV. And if not that then Rosie. We need someone who has been a fan and will support them no matter what." Joey said. "Well Rosie has supported us but I don't know. How about Oprah?" Lance said. "Oprah sounds good. But we need something that teenagers watch." JC said. "Which brings us back to Rosie!" Lance said with a huff. "How about The View?" Justin asked. "No to many women and not as many men." Joey disagreed. "So our choices are Oprah and Rosie." Lance brought up. "Let's take a vote." Justin said. "Justin it's up to you and JC, not us. We'll do whatever you guys want." Chris said. "But you guys are involved so I think that we as a group should decide." Justin replied. JC got up form the couch and made his way over to Justin on the loveseat. He plopped down and was instantly bombarded by Hunter jumping into his lap. "Okay well I say Oprah." Joey claimed. "Rosie." Chris said. "Oprah." Justin said. "Oprah." JC nodded. "Oprah it is." Lance said. "Once we get approved. Our next stop is The Oprah Winfrey Show." JC said. "Hey Lovebirds! Get move your asses from in front of the fridge." Joey said as he lightly pushed the two who were tenderly kissing each other in the kitchen. Justin broke the kiss by laughing and looked at Joey. "You suck!" Justin said with a small laugh. A small yapping followed Joey's presence in the room. Justin looked down and saw Busta, Chris's dog waddling in. "This dog won't stop following me." Joey said as he moved behind JC. Busta waddled behind JC as well. "Yeah well. Just stay off my man." Justin said as he pulled JC away from them. The sound of a phone ringing entered the house. Justin looked over to the kitchen phone and saw it blinking. He reached out and took the phone before resting his back against the counter. "Hello?" Justin asked into the phone. "Hello Justin. I wanted to let you know that the label doesn't want you to come out. BUT if you really want to. They will permit it. As long as it is done in a dignified fashion." Johnny said into the phone. "Really Johnny!?!" Justin asked excitedly. "Yup. Congratulations Justin." Johnny said happily himself. "Thanks Johnny." Justin said. "Justin there is one problem. You have to do it before you sign with Jive again. So the sooner you come out the sooner we'll be able to start the touring and the new album." Johnny said. "But why. . .?" Justin started to ask. "Well Justin there are a bunch of legal reasons and well I don't want to bore you. Nothing bad, just a bunch of mumbo jumbo. But try to get it done within a week. If that's possible." Johnny requested. "Okay thanks Johnny." Justin said. He placed the phone down onto it's receiver and looked around. "Okay you guys. We better head to Chicago, because we have to be on Oprah." Justin said. "Hello?" Justin asked into his cell phone. He kept the quick pace out of the airport and toward the limousine that had been waiting for them. He quickly adjusted the bag an his shoulder while straining to hear the voice. "Hey Justin. Just called to see what was up." A voice said through the phone. "Danny is that you?" Justin asked, covering his other ear with his hand to hear. "Yeah. Are you busy, cause I can call back again." Danny said. "No, just hold on for a minute." Justin said. He quickly hopped into the limousine, where all the noise stopped. The silence inside provided the perfect spot for his conversation with Danny. He looked up as JC got in after him and took a seat next to him. Lance came in with Joey following, and finally Chris bringing up the end. "Okay sorry. Just was trying to get out of the airport." Justin said into the phone once he was situated. "Where are you?" Danny asked. "Chicago. Josh and I are going on the Oprah show to come out." Justin said into the phone. "NO WAY!?!?!" Danny yelled into the phone excitedly. "Yeah." Justin said with a laugh. "Well congratulations. Or good luck. Or something like that." Danny said with happiness. "Thanks Danny. So how are you and Paul?" Justin asked. "We're fine. Still trying to remain secretive. I wish we could walk down the street together. But someone is going to pinpoint him as Paul, and well there goes his career." Danny said solemnly. "Well hopefully with the new president, a new law will come." Justin sighed. "Hi Danny!" JC yelled, trying to be hear din the phone. "He says Hi." Justin said to JC with a smile. "So what is up for you guys?" Danny asked. "Well after Oprah. Back to the compound and basically start getting ready for the tour. But before that we have to make a bunch of appearances." Justin said with a low sigh. "Well hang in there Justin. Once you come out, you'll feel alive. You'll feel free." Danny said. "I hope so." Justin replied. "You will. Well I better let you guys get going. I'll talk with you later. I'll be sure to watch Oprah today." Danny promised. "Thanks Danny. Talk with you later." Justin said, before hanging up his phone. "Justin, did you bring our wedding pictures?" JC asked with worry. "Yeah they are in my back pack. In the album." Justin confirmed. "Are you ready for this?" JC asked. "Ready as I'll ever be." Justin sighed. "Hello Everybody!! And welcome to The Oprah Winfrey Show. Today we have the kings of Pop Music, N SYNC!!" Oprah said, trying to pump up the crowd. The audience didn't need much help because they were off the wall. Made up with mostly teenagers, the audience continued to roar. "Okay everyone. I had a chance to meet theses five young gentlemen and well they are completely well mannered and polite. They are truly adorable boys. But this isn't about the group and how well they are doing on the charts. This show is a special one that the boys asked to have. They came to me last week and requested that I help them with a little situation. I couldn't turn them down. So without further adieux. Here is N SYNC!!!!" Oprah said trying to pump the crowd up once again. Chris stepped out first, followed by Joey, then JC, then lance. And finally Justin. The five of them walked onto the set and took a seat their seats. Their five chairs was set up in two rows. Two chairs sat in the front. In the back were three stools behind them. JC took a chair while Lance sat next to him. Justin, Joey, and Chris took a seat on the stools. "Wait." Justin said. He got up and switched seats with Lance. "Much better." Justin said. "Okay well, I don't need to introduce these five young men, but for all of you who don't know them. . ." Oprah led off. "This is Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Lance Bass, and Joey Fatone. Together they have made two outstanding CD's and sold out over four tours Worldwide and National." Oprah introduced. "Thank you guys for being here." Oprah said to them. "Thank you for having us Ms. Winfrey." Justin replied. "See! I told you they were all polite!" Oprah said in happiness. The guys laugh amongst themselves at the flattery. "So, like I said before, we're not here to talk about your record sales or how you've been in the news lately. We're here to help two of the members. Justin and JC have something they wanted to share with the world." Oprah said giving them the time they needed. "Well I guess what we wanted to do is to basically share something private and personal with all our fans and the public in general." Justin said looking at JC. "Well as of December 10th, 2000. Justin and I have been married. We had been dating for a year and thought it was time, and so we got married." JC said slowly and nervously. "So you two are married to each other?" Oprah tried to clarify to the viewers. There was a small gasps in the audience, here and there. But the most of it was pure silence. "Yes. Both Justin and I are gay. We've been keeping it a secret for some time and wanted to finally get it out in the open, so we don't have to hide anymore." JC replied. "Now what made you two want to come out?" Oprah asked kindly. "Well I guess it was me who wanted to. Everywhere I'd go, I'd see couples everywhere just showing small tokens of affection like holding hands or something and I wanted that. I wanted to be able to hold my husbands hand in public. I didn't have to worry about being on the tabloids the next day." Justin said. "Now this will have a great affect on how the media and public view N Sync. Have you guys taken that into consideration?" Oprah asked, the rest of the guys more than she did Justin and JC. "Well we have talked about this. And we have talked about the way we'll be seen and I think that it's okay. I know that two of my best friends are going to be happy and that itself is worth more than all the money we've received." Joey said. "And they are actually the most romantic and cute couple I've ever encountered." Lance said, before looking over his shoulder at the screen behind them. A picture of Justin and JC at their wedding was on the screen. Both Justin and JC were facing each other while they held both hands together. Each one flashing the camera their trademark smile. The picture received a few coos from the audience. "And you can't help but be happy for them. I remember that I was a little bit weirded out by them at first, which I didn't let them know. But I knew for some time before that they would eventually become a couple." Chris said. "So what do your family and friends have to say about you guys?" Oprah asked the couple again. "They are all pretty much supportive. I've had a couple of relatives who have totally disagreed but that's their choice of opinion. I can't change that. Only they can. But we survived through that and it made us stronger." JC said. "Well I guess I'll open it up to questions from the audience if you don't mind." Oprah said, looking at them for permission. Justin nodded in approval. Oprah walked up to a teenage girl who was sniffling a bit. "Hi. I'm Cindy. And I was just wondering why did you guys choose to be gay? Didn't you know that it would disappoint your fans?" the girl asked. Justin looked at JC. JC looked back at Justin before letting out a small sigh. "Well we didn't choose to be gay. I don't think anyone that is gay, has chosen to be gay. Being gay is a much harder lifestyle then that of an average man or woman. I would not choose to be gay at all. But in a way I'm glad I am and that Justin is. Because I can't see my life without Justin. And I think that if the fans cannot look past this and continue to listen to our music, I don't think they were ever fans at all. They might have been fans for Joey, or Lance, or Chris, or Justin, or myself. But not for N Sync as a whole." JC said bravely. The girl nodded in understanding before sitting down. Oprah moved onto someone else. This time an older woman who was a parent. "Hello, my name is Martha. As a parent I don't want my children to be exposed to sexual content and stuff like that. I want to censor what my children see. Have you thought about that?" the woman asked, not trying to be too rude but to get across her point. "I'm sorry ma'am but being gay is not all about sex. Sex in a homosexual relationship is the same as a heterosexual relationship. For us to be together and be on stage does not mean that if your child goes to a concert that he or she will be exposed to us doing improper acts. I know that I probably won't even hold hands with JC on stage. And he would never think about doing that either. Our private lives should never interfere with our professional.: Justin said. The audience broke into spots of applause, showing their support. "How does you two being together effect life on tour?" Oprah asked. "Well we basically just have to deal with them being all lovey-dovey on the bus. And it's constant. They never stop saying `I love you" and what not." Chris said in mock annoyance. "The only thing that changes is that we know where to find them. If I don't know where JC is. I'm pretty sure he'd be with Justin. And vice versa." Lance laughed. "What do you two have to say to those that do not agree with your marriage?" Oprah asked. "I guess I'd say that I don't see why they have a chance to be happy and I can't. If they don't agree with me marrying Justin then they are basically saying that I can't be happy. What if I said that I didn't agree with men marrying women. Not many of your would care because you can't change anything. Well I can't change this so I don't think I'd care." JC said. "I pretty much feel the same. And I also want to add that if they can only focus on the fact that we're gay, then they have a lot more thinking they have to do. Being gay is just one part of a person. It's not everything. There may be a gay person serving you lunch, dry cleaning your clothes. Hiring you. Representing your state. There may be a gay person in your own family. And so don't keep your minds closed. If you continue to keep them closed, then you'll be no better than those people who took part in slavery. Or those who enforced the holocaust. Just be open minded." Justin requested. "Teenage girls everywhere are shocked to find out that two out of five of the heartthrobs that make up N Sync are in fact joined together in holy matrimony. After today's serious confession on The Oprah Winfrey Show, JC Chasez, and his husband Justin Timberlake were seen being ushered away straight to the airport. When MTV news met up with them there. All they had to say was "You've loved us before. Now why should you stop loving us after finding out a little bit more of our personal life." After this recent coming out. N Sync is scheduled to attend the American Music Awards. As well as host several other award shows before their nationwide tour which is set to start mid-February. For more details on this please log on to MTV.com or stayed tuned for MTV News 1515 coming up next." "Parents around the nation are shocked to learn that two familiar faces around their household are in fact joined in marriage. Teen Heartthrobs Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez from the pop band N Sync recently came out on the Oprah Winfrey Show. They have kept their wedlock a secret for a month before finally announcing it to the public. When a reporter asked bandmate Lance Bass of their union all he had to say was "I support them in anyway possible, I would give anything for them to be happy. And if coming out is what makes them happy, then I will continue to support them." "Religious groups across the nation are appalled at the recent confession of Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez's marriage. These strict religious communities are disgusted that two people in the spotlight as much as these two are, would choose to be married even though they know children look up to them everyday. These groups have created boycotts on all N Sync related merchandise and advise the nation to follow. When speaking with a member of these groups, she had this to say: "I strongly warn all parents to censor the amount of these devils that their children watch. We cannot have homosexuals as role models." "And finally I would like to end the show with my support to Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez of N Sync on their strength in coming out to the world. It must have been hard for them and I would like to commend them. When are we going to realize that it's not for us to judge someone on who they fall in love with. I hope that the newlyweds are happy. And if they are watching I just want to wish you two good luck and I want you to know that you have support from me." JC let out a small sigh as he heard the phone ring for the eight time in the last ten minutes he's been in the N Sync Compound. He switched off the TV and got up off the couch. Leo and Ozzie quickly ran to JC's side and started to follow him. Hunter ran behind the bigger dogs, striving to keep up. "Hey boys why don't you go guys go outside to Justin and the rest of the guys. Go on! Go outside!" JC said pointing to the sliding glass door which led to the back yard where the pool was full of activity. Instantly Leo and Ozzie ran for the backyard. Hunter looked back as they ran and began to turn. "Oh no you don't! You're coming with me." JC said as he scooped up the dog. Hunter wiggled around in JC's arm while trying to lick his face. "Hello?" JC asked as he picked up the phone. "Hey JC? Is that you? I just wanted to say I'm glad that you and Justin came out." A voice came into the phone. "Hey Chrissy! So I take it you were watching TV today?" JC asked. "And was listening to the radio. And read the paper. And looked at the magazines. . ." Christina carried on. "That bad huh?" JC asked. "Yeah well my little cousin called me up bawling because she said that she can't have you anymore. I just basically told her to be happy for you and still like him because now he shared an important part of him with you." Christina said. "Huh?" JC asked in confusion. "Yeah she didn't understand it either." Christina let out a small laugh. "Yeah well. If you're not busy. You can come down to the compound. The guys are just hanging out. We have to start choreography tomorrow, so we're having a chilling out day. Brit's gonna drop by." JC said. "I'll try. I have a date later on. So we'll see." Christina added. "Ooo. A date. Do tell." JC said, intrigued. "Tell you later. Gotta go now. give my best to Justin and the guys." Christina concluded. "Okay. Bye Chrissy." JC said before hanging up. He placed the phone down. Just to hear in ring again. "UgH!!! No more calls!" JC said as he walked out of the house into the backyard. "Why did we go swimming? It's so freaking cold outside!" Joey said as he came in shivering. "I call first dibs on the shower!" Lance yelled as he started to run up the stairs to the bathroom. "I'll take the downstairs one." Chris said as he walked in the direction of the bathroom. Joey pulled on a T-shirt before standing in front of the TV to watch it. He sighed as he saw more pictures of Justin and JC on the television. "When are they going to realize that it's not that big of a deal?" Joey asked the TV. "Joey. Talking to the television can make you nothing but crazy." JC said as he walked in from the backyard with Justin in tow. "You guys are the most popular people in the world." Joey said continuing to keep his eyes on the TV. "Hey I know for a fact that we have a bunch of messages. Does anyone want to check them or do I have to?" Justin asked. "You do." Joey and JC said quickly. Justin sighed and walked to the answering machine. "Hey you guys. Just wanted to tell you that I'm at the airport and I'll be there in maybe twenty minutes. Bye." Tyler said into the answering machine. "Tyler is coming?" Justin asked hopeful. "Yeah, Mom wanted one of the family members to be here. I have no clue why, but she did." JC shrugged. "Hey you guys. Just wanted to congratulate Justin and JC on what they did. It took a lot of guts to do that. So congrats!" Danny said. "Oh hey we have to visit Danny And Paul when we are in Atlanta." JC reminded Justin. "Hello guys. This is Johnny. Well I'm here at the building and well I have a lot of requests for interviews with the group, specifically Justin and JC. I have like six from MTV. Teen People, Times, Seventeen, a bunch of gay magazines, but I think the Advocate is the biggest one so far. And maybe Out magazine. Well just get a hold of me if you guys want to do them now. Now get back to work! I don't pay you to stand around and listen to your messages." Johnny said. Justin laughed at the end of the message and walked back to where JC stood. "Do you want to go take a shower? I think Lance'll be out in a sec. JC said caressing Justin's cheek with one hand. "Yeah sure." Justin agreed eagerly. Justin stepped out of the shower and pulled the towel off it's rack. He began to slowly towel himself off, starting with his arms. As he moved down his chiseled chest to his washboard abs, JC stepped out of the shower. He leaned against the wall, not bothering to dry off, while watching Justin dry himself. He watched form behind as Justin slowly started to bend over to dry his legs. JC arched an eyebrow and let out a sigh as he watched hi breathtaking Justin rub the clothe all over his body. JC stepped up behind Justin's body which was still drying his legs and gently started to press his flaccid groin into Justin's ass. Justin popped up in surprise and looked over his shoulder at JC who was grinning from ear to ear. "You horny old man!" Justin snickered as he turned toward the wall of mirrors in front of him. he began to run one set of fingers through his hair while the other searched the counter for his discarded towel. "Remember during our honeymoon, that one day when we didn't even leave the bed the whole day. Let's reenact that." JC said as he wiggled his eyebrows up and down. "I don't think so! I'm not going to risk being sore for tomorrow. Seeing how we have to choreograph two songs by the end of the day." Justin said as he wrapped the towel around his waist. "Ok." JC said disappointedly, looking at the ground. "Sorry babe. But I promise before we actually head out on tour. I'm going to make sure that we're all sexed out." Justin said turning and cupping JC's penis in his hand. JC gasped in surprise as Justin began to squeeze gently. Both Justin and JC looked down at the engorged member. "You're such a tease. Now get out so I can take care of this." JC said, referring to his erection. "What? All of a sudden you want privacy?" Justin asked. "No I just don't want you regretting the choice you made as I take care of this." JC said as he ushered Justin to the door and gently closed the door behind him. Justin turned and faced the door in shock. "YOU are the tease!!!" Justin yelled at the door with a smirk. "Tyler! I'm glad you're here. I'm always stuck with these old fogies." Justin said as he closed the door behind his brother-on-law. Tyler placed down his two small bags and gave Justin a hug. "Who you calling fogies? You baby!" Chris called from the living room. "You guys are just jealous of my youth." Justin called back with a small laugh. "Yeah whatever." Joey said as Justin and Tyler walked into the room. "Hey Brat." JC said from his spot in the recliner. Justin took a seat on his lap and smacked him in the abs. "Hey!" JC said in mock pain. "Hey what? Don't call him a brat." Justin claimed. "First you have Mom and Dad protecting you, now you have my husband?" JC said to Tyler. "What can I say? I guess I'm the loved one." Tyler jested. JC stuck out his tongue at Tyler like a child. "Hey Justin. JC. You guys got another call from Johnny. He says the Advocate really wants an interview with you. They think you can `be beneficial in making the awareness of homosexuality more known'." Lance quoted as he came out of the kitchen with a piece of paper in his hands. "Ugh!" Justin exhaled before burying his face into JC's shoulder. "I think it would be cool. I mean Matt thinks it is cool. And he was all mad at me cause I didn't tell him I knew. But I had to hide this form him, even though he is my best friend." Tyler said. "It's just, just because I came out does not make me the type of person that can be an advocate. I don't want the whole weight of the gay world as well as all the pressure from N Sync and the media all on me. As selfish as it may be, I don't want to teach those simple-minded people about homosexuality." Justin said in frustration. "But you do know, now that you've come out, that you have most of the gay population looking up to you guys." Lance said picking up a cup and taking a sip of its contents. "But I don't want that. I want them to treat me as if I was a normal human being. I don't want anyone to look at me funny, just because I'm gay. I don't even want to be seen as gay. And by me plastering myself on the billboards promoting my. . . gayness doesn't really deter the spotlight from my personal life." Justin shot back. "Eloquently said, Blue." JC said, because giving him a peck on the cheek. "Thanks Indy." Justin replied before leaning back against the armrest, sprawling out on JC's lap. "But that's just it. There is going to be thousands of people out there that will look at you funny because you are gay. And until they realize that being gay isn't wrong, they will continue to look at you funny." Tyler added. "You guys, I agree with Justin. I really don't want to be the spokesperson for the gay world right now. Maybe a couple years later. But not now." JC supported. "If they really don't want to do it. Than stop bothering them." Chris said, annoyed with the argument. "But Chris. . ."Lance started. "No, Lance. Drop it. When you were against doing that interview for that stupid magazine a while back. Did they pressure you into it or question you? No they just let it go. Justin leave them alone. If they want to then that's their choice." Chris said before focusing on the TV. "Wow Chris, I didn't know you cared so much." JC said thoughtfully. "I don't! I just want you guys to shut up so I can watch my basketball game!" Chris said. "Hey you guys. Do you want to sneak out and go to a basketball game tonight?" JC asked as he came down the stairs with Tyler following. "Where??" Joey asked. "Well it's high school basketball. Laura is basically cheerleading for the Junior Varsity team and Justin is going to sneak out to watch it. I'm going to go with him and I'm taking Tyler. And Jonathan is in town so he'll be there. Who else wants to come?" JC asked. "I guess I can go. Chris is not feeling good though. He had a headache so he was going to take a small nap." Lance informed. "Well I think I'll stay with Chris. So he won't be alone." Joey said as he sat on the couch, doing nothing in particular. "Okay well we're going to try and sneak out now, cause the school is basically in the suburbs." JC said. "Okay I'm ready!!" Justin said coming down the stairs with a blue baseball hat, with his glasses on. He also wore a fake goatee that matched his orange-brownish hair. "How did you grow that goatee so fast? It's only been ten minutes since I last saw you." Lance said in surprise. "Does it look real?" Justin asked. "Yeah. Where'd you get that?" JC asked. "Well from the last video shoot, I was talking with the hairstylist and she gave me this to walk around in public." Justin responded. "Wow. Well I better get disguised huh?" JC asked. "And me too!" Lance said as they both started to run up the stairs. Justin walked into the high school gym with Tyler and looked around in the bleachers. He looked over his shoulder and saw JC waiting for Lance to finish paying his entrance fee, before looking in the stands again. He watched where a bunch of cheerleaders dressed in white uniforms were standing. He smiled at the recognition of his sister. "Did you spot them?" JC asked as he came up behind Justin. "No but there is Laura." Justin said pointing to the area where the cheerleaders where getting ready for the game. JC looked over and saw Laura pulling up her hair into a ponytail. "There they are." Lance said pointing to the stands behind where Laura was. The four of them quickly crossed the empty basketball court and walked to the stands which was filled in pockets of people, each pocket being a family or a group of friends. Justin walked up to Laura and gave her a hug from behind. "Bobby?" Laura asked as she spun around. "Justin!" Laura shrieked silently as she wrapped her arms around her brother's neck. "Hey Princess. Who's Bobby?" Justin asked sternly. "Oh Justin, stop it!" Laura said while rolling her eyes. "Am I going to have to call the guys to beat him up?" Justin asked. "Justin stop!" Laura said as she faced him eye to eye. She reached out and ran her fingers over Justin's goatee. "It's fake." Justin whispered. "Figured." Laura said. She bent down to her shoe, causing her skirt to rise a bit. "Laura!" Justin said as he stood directly behind Laura, blocking any view of anything. "Justin I'm wearing kick pants." Laura said as she stood up. "Hey Laura! So you do the crew team and the cheerleading team? Anything else I should know about?" Lance asked as he brought her into a half hug. "Nope, dance and crew are my faves right now so that's about it." Laura said to Lance with a cheeky grin. "Hey Laura!" JC said scooping the girl into his arms. "Josh! Put me down!" Laura said as she kicked her legs. "How's my favorite sister-in-law?" JC asked placing a small kiss one her cheek. "Your only sister-in-law." Laura said before punching him. "Tyler! What are you doing here?" Laura asked, before hugging him. "Just visiting." Tyler said with a smile. "Is you cute cousin Marco here?" Laura asked. "Nope sorry." Tyler said before letting out a small laugh. "Hey squad, let's do a run through of the routine really quick." A girl said, obviously the head cheerleader. "Hey you guys, that's me. I have to guy. Bye!" Laura said before running off to get into her position. The four guys' laughed before heading up the bleachers toward Lynn and Paul Harliss who were sitting in the stands with Jonathan. Jonathan sat fiddling with a Gameboy while Lynn and Paul were having a conversation. "Hey Mom. Paul." Justin said as he gave his mom a hug. "Hey boys! We didn't think you were going to come." Lynn claimed, standing to hug all three boys. "Hey guys!" Paul said, shaking all their hands. "Yeah well we sneaked out. Thank god the guards at the gate didn't see us when we drove through that small dirt road." Lance said before taking a seat. "What does that tell you about your security guards. They must not be very good." Tyler laughed. "JC!" Jonathan said happily, looking up from his game. JC looked around and caught a few stares from people looking at the boy. "Hey buddy boy. How's my favorite Munchkin?" JC asked as he took a seat next to Jonathan. "Do you want to play Pokemon with me?" Jonathan asked as he moved closer to JC, so JC could see. Jonathan started to play his game, this time assuming that JC was watching. JC placed an arm around Jonathan, resting it on the other side of the boy. "See that! That's a pokeball. My pokemon are in those!" Jonathan said looking up to see if JC was looking. "Wow that's cool." JC said, watching the boy with a whimsical look. Justin watched with a love struck smile as he watched JC interact with his baby brother. Justin took a seat in front of his mother and leaned back so his head rested on her knees. "Justin you aren't regretting you coming out are you?" Lynn asked softly. "No Mom, I'm not. It's just a little stressful. I knew it was going to be stressful but not this stressful. And I know it's going to get worst once we're in the public. And every interview is going to be about us and not the group. And I have no idea what the fans are going to think." Justin said as he closed his eyes. "Well Sweety, all I can say is, you have JC by your side. Make good use of him. You two need each other right now." Lynn said running her hands over Justin's covered head. "Hey you guys. The cheerleaders are about to do their opening routine." Lance said, noticing they all got into their positions. "Go Laura!!" JC yelled. Laura ducked her head in embarrassment and turned bright red. "She's going to hate you after that." Justin said JC. "Yeah I know." JC laughed. Justin slid over next to JC and took his hand with his own. They simply shared a small smile before they heard the familiar sounds of "Here We Go." Lance, Justin, and JC watched as the cheerleaders began to dance to their song. Justin smiled broadly watching his sister dance to the music. "Hey they stole those moves from the music video!" Lance said pointing to them when he saw the familiar dance moves. "Justin! Look at Laura!" Jonathan said pointing to his half sister. "I see Jonny." Justin said, reaching past JC to ruffle his baby brother's hair. "Could you believe that Justin and JC came out? I thought they were straight." A girl said in the stands nearby the guys. "I think it's their business. I like their music regardless and they are still cute. I knew all along I was never going to be with them so what's so different now?" another girl said. "I think it's disgusting. I mean my little sister listens to them too and I don't want her to know what `gay' means." Another girl from the group added. "I thought all the ugly guys were gay. I guess JC and Justin must be an exception." A different girl added. "Hey my cousin's gay. And he's pretty cute. And so is his boyfriend. They are still cool people. I think his boyfriend is really awesome. He even took me to see the N Sync concert." A girl through in. "That means we're going to see a lot more gay people at the concerts now huh?" A different girl added. JC quickly stopped listening and cast a look at Justin. Justin's broad smile had diminished to an emotionless look. JC squeezed Justin's hand, causing Justin to look at JC. JC offered him a small smile which Justin nodded in return. Justin looked down in his lap for a bit before looking up and continuing to watch his sister dance. Laura quickly stuck her pompoms into her gym bag and slipped on a pair of nylon pants under her skirt. She smiled when seeing a boy come over to her. She waved in recognition and started to talk with him, while taking out the colored ribbons in her hair. She undid her ponytail and ran her fingers through her hair to smooth it out. She continued to talk with the boy and she picked up her bag and started to walk. The boy took her bag and walked with her. "Hey Laura, good job out there." JC said as he pulled her into a hug. "Thanks Josh." Laura said, hugging him in return. "Yeah, excellent job out there. Some of those moves, we couldn't even pull off." Lance through in. "That's my little sister." Justin said giving Laura a big hug. "Thanks guys." Laura said embarrassed. "So Laura who's your friend?" Tyler asked. "Tyler! Did Justin tell you to ask that?" Laura asked. "No I did not. But while we're on the subject. Who is this male friend of yours?" Justin asked. "Guys this is Bobby." Laura said, not very enthusiastically. "Laura, you didn't even introduce us. I know you were raised better than that." Justin said. Laura glared at him before rolling her eyes and turning to Bobby. "Bobby this is my brother Justin. This is Josh. This is Tyler. And this is Lance." Laura said pointing to each one. "And I'm Jonathan." Jonathan said shyly as he poked himself out from behind JC's leg. "Hi guys. Nice to meet you." Bobby said while waving to hem all. He looked at all of them fearfully as they kind of formed a semi-circle. "Are you Laura's boyfriend?" Jonathan asked. bobby looked at the kid a little surprised before blushing. "No I'm not Jonathan. But I'll tell you a secret." Bobby said. Jonathan moved forward so that Bobby could whisper something to him. Jonathan nodded before running back to JC's leg. "What did you say?" Laura asked. "That's between me and Jonathan." Bobby said playfully. "No come on tell me." Laura said. "Nope. It's for Jonathan's ears only. Right Jonathan?" Bobby asked. "Right!" Jonathan nodded. "Well Laura I guess we'll leave you two to be. Mom and Paul are waiting for you in the parking lot." JC said as he started to pull Justin away from where he was keeping s tiff look at Bobby. Tyler and Lance eventually started to follow. Lance scooped Jonathan up and carried him as the four of them walked out. "So Josh is your brother?" Bobby asked. "Brother-in law. Justin is my brother." Laura said. "So you have a sister?" Bobby asked. "Haven't you been watching the news lately?" Laura asked. "no why?" Bobby asked. "Well. . . uhm. . . my brother is . . . married to Josh. They are in N Sync together." Laura said. "You mean your brother is Justin Timberlake? I just thought that you had the same last name." Bobby said in shock. "No, that's my brother and Josh is JC." Laura said sheepishly. "Wow." Bobby said. "Yeah." Laura said not expecting what was going to happen next. "Do you want me to walk you out to your parent's car?" Bobby asked. "Yeah sure. Do you have a ride home?" Laura asked. "No I just have to call them and they'll come pick me up." Bobby said in return. "I can give you a ride." Laura replied eagerly. "Okay." Bobby said. Together they started walking toward the car. Justin let out a yawn as he came out of the bathroom clad in only a pair of pajama pants. He stopped when he saw Joey waiting in the hall. "Finally! I thought you fell asleep in there or something." Joey said before rushing past Justin into the bathroom. Justin let out a small snicker. before walking down the hall to the room he was staying in with JC. Justin stepped into the room and closed the door behind him. He saw JC taking off his shirt and walking toward the bed in only a pair f of boxer briefs. Justin pushed the silver wire framed glasses up his nose a bit before heading to the bed. He hopped on top of the covers and picked up a book form the side of the bed. He turned over on his stomach and started to read silently to himself. JC took a seat on the bed and started to run his finger tips up and down Justin's bare back all the while flipping through a catalogue. JC went further and further down Justin's back with each cycle of his gentle raking fingertips. JC soon forgot about his catalogue and gazed at Justin with glazed eyes. Soon his fingertips began to slip under the waist band of Justin's pajama bottoms. The tips began to gently caress the firm flesh of Justin's buttocks. JC's lust drove him to cancel the finger tips and begin to cup the cheeks that lay under his flesh. Justin began to moan at the feeling of his husband's hands over his ass. Justin pulled JC's hand out of his pants before turning over and leading JC's hand to his growing bulge. JC slowly leaned in toward Justin and started to gently kiss him with animal force. They titled head slightly as they kissed each other passionately. Justin let out a gasp for air before continuing to kiss his husband back. All the while JC had been massaging Justin's engorging member. JC started to shift a little bit, slowly but surely positioning him self closer to Justin. Never once did he break the steamy lip lock with his husband. JC through a leg over Justin's body and continued to kiss him. JC removed his hands from Justin's crotch and placed them both on the bed to stabilize himself. Justin allowed his hand to roam over JC's taut back and shoulders, indulging in the feeling of his husband's skin under his fingertips. Justin let his hands roam for a bit before gently stopping under JC's arms. Justin kept the kissing as furious as it had started, and slowly began to urge JC to come down on top of him. JC moved down slowly until he was laying on top of Justin. JC placed both of his hands on either side of Justin's face and led the kiss into a reverie. Justin started to moan as their eager hips started to rub together in a slow and steady, erotic dance. "Josh. . ." Justin panted as he hesitantly pulled away. "Mmmm?" JC asked as he gave up kissing Justin's lip and started to knead the skin on Justin's neck with his lips. "Josh. . . mmmm. . . Josh. . . ohhhh. . . we can't. . . ugh. . . we have. . .ugh. . . to dance. . ." Justin said as he fell victim to JC's sensual lips. "Shhhh." JC said as he looked up and placed a finger on Justin's lips. Justin closed his eyes on ecstasy to the feeling of JC rocking his hips into his own. JC began to knead the taut flesh of Justin's flesh with his moist lips. Justin reveled in the feeling of JC suckling his nipple. JC flicked his tongue over the nub causing a wave of pleasure in Justin. Justin arched his back with every wave, pressing his tense groin into JC's even more. "Ohhh." Justin moaned. JC stopped his licking and started to press moist kisses on Justin's chest. He moved down the crevice between Justin's pectorals slowly making his way to Justin's flat belly. It was then that JC started to pull down on Justin's pants. Justin enjoyed the feeling of his husband's skin upon him. He shuddered a bit as the slightly chilly air surrounded his aching penis. His fingers clutched the bed as soon as he felt the cold air turn into a moist wet feeling. He let out a resonating moan as JC's mouth encircled the head of his tool. JC suckled the head carefully, pushing each button perfectly. As if to tease Justin, JC started to move only a centimeter down his erect phallus. Justin was sent through wave after wave of pleasure, letting a moan come out with each wave. JC ran his lips up and down Justin's penis expertly, giving him satisfaction that Justin is feeling pure ecstasy. Justin clutched the bed with one hand while the other started to run through JC's wavy hair. He felt JC's nose bury into the fine hairs that grew about the base of his shaft. Justin felt his husband's hands run up and down Justin's sculpted belly and legs. Justin let out a half hiss half moan as JC started to move a little faster on his penis. JC kept a rhythm up for a while before sporadically going up and down the shaft keeping Justin in full suspense of what was going to come. JC's incessant bobbing started to build up Justin to an ultimate wave of pleasure that sent him in full moan. As the waves rolled through his body he felt his seed shoot out of his manhood and into JC's awaiting mouth. Justin shuddered from the last wave and panted in ecstasy. JC soon emerged next to him with a broad smile. "I love you." JC whispered. "I love you more." Justin whispered back before rolling over and curling up to JC's chest. JC moved a piece of hair out of Justin's face and continued to look down at Justin who was gently doodling shapes onto his chest. Without a word JC reached over and turned off the lamp before reaching down and pulling a quilt over Justin and himself. The two curled up together and laid still in the darkness. JC stayed awake and watched as Justin slowly fell into slumber. He gently leaned down and placed a small kiss on Justin's forehead before laying back and letting slumber take over him as well.
