The following is a fictious story with no real basis or credibility.It is solely for the enjoyment of the reader. It does not imply anything about the sexual preferences or lifestyle of Justin Timberlake or any other celebrity herein mentioned in this story. Previously Justin smiled, hugging Zach, then Christina. "Your vision was right, Mico." "Vision?" Christina asked. Michael blushed. "I had a vision two weeks ago that the two of you would get together and love each other." Zach looked at Christina, shocked. "Mikey, two weeks ago we didn't even know each other." "I know, god and love always finds a way." Zach and Christina both smiled. "Welcome to the family, Cricket." Michael smiled. Christina looked stunned. Michael smiled at her. "My father used to call me Cricket." She said tears in her eyes. "I'd like to call you Cricket, if that's okay?" He said, lowering his head. She smiled, grabbing ahold of him. Michael hugged her, she hugged him close. "I'd like that, Mikey." "Well, I'm beat, lets hit the hay lover, you have a long day tomorrow." Michael put his hand in Justin's. Everyone hugged, Zach turning down the lights. The two couples parted, Justin and Michael going to their bedroom, Zach and Christina settling down on the couch for some quiet time. A short time later, Michael lay against Justin, feeling his body against him, smelling his scent. "I love you, Jus." "Love ya more, Mico." Michael sighed happily, drifting slowly off to sleep. Justin lay awake thinking about everything that happened today. Cameron was happy, that made him happy. Zach and Christina were together, Becky was about to gain a dad. And his Michael, his sweet Michael was going home with him in two days. Justin's world was going to change. Justin's felt his world would never be the same. And that made him smile. He fell asleep with a smile on his lips, Michael snuggled against him. Chapter 38 Michael woke up to find Justin missing from their bed. He looked at the clock which read eight thirty. Michael stretched climbing out of bed. He put on a t-shirt and sweatpants and headed out of the bedroom. Walking down the hallway he could smell food. He walked into the kitchen finding everyone chatting away. Justin stood behind the counter making breakfast. Michael's eyebrow came up. Justin cooking breakfast? "Morning, pumpkin." Justin smiled, walking up and kissing his cheek. "Morning, sweetie. I love you." Michael wrapped his arms around him. Justin smiled hearing his lover's morning ritual. "Your making breakfast?" Michael asked him, kissing his lips. "Yes, Mico. I volunteered. Sit down, babe." Michael sat down at the table saying hello to Lonnie, Zach and Christina. Becky climbed into his lap. "Morning, Uncle Michael." She said hugging to his chest. She touched his heart. He'd never had a neice. "Morning, Becky Wecky." She laughed when he tickled her. Justin put a plate of eggs and sausages on the table in front of Michael, then brought toast and bacon. "Looks delicious, sweetie." Michael patted him on the butt. "Why thank ya ,sir." Michael chuckled. Justin sat down beside him, Becky jumping into his lap. Michael ate breakfast while everyone finished their coffees. "Guess I'm the last one up." "Yeah, we thought we'd have to jack hammer you out of bed." Zach said. "Someone wore me out last night." Justin blushed, knowing they hadn't made love last night. Michael was just building up his lover. Michael asked him what the schedule was for today. Justin had to be at the studio for noon. "Mikey, since we have a few hours free, lets go shopping. I have to get some more christmas gifts." Justin winked at him. "Good god, Justin. It's going to take me two days to open everything." Michael smirked. Everyone laughed. "Hey, I love you. I want to lavish you with treasures." "The only treasure I want is you, sweetie." Michael kissed his cheek. Everyone smiled, Becky laughing at the small piece of bacon Michael left on Justin's cheek. Justin wiped his face. "Ewww, that's gross, Mico." "But ya still love me, don't ya?" "Every moment for my liftime and the next." Michael smiled. After breakfast, Michael and Justin went out shopping, Lonnie driving them around. Michael was surprised when they went to a large toy store. He looked at Justin, with a puzzled look. "For my new neice,Becky. I have to get her some things." Justin blushed. Michael smiled, knowing Justin's affection for the little girl. They spent two hours there, Justin buying her lots of presents, including a large doll house. "Justin, she's going to think your santa." "Of course she will. Your santa's hot little helper, aren't you?" Michael smiled, Justin patting his butt. Lonnie drove Justin to the studio, then dropped Michael back at Zach's. He took the presents to the hotel. Michael and Zach would be going to the studio around nine thirty. Justin had given them passes for back stage. Michael spent the day playing with Becky and talking to Christina. She brought him up on all the news in Chicago. Christina was staying home with Becky, since it would be too late a night for her. And she volunteered to tape the show for Justin. They spent the day together, having fun and they went out to dinner, Michael's treat. Justin had called Michael three times during the day, just to hear his voice and know he was okay. They were both getting anxious about leaving tomorrow, starting their life together. Justin had a big surprise for him, hoping that Michael wouldn't get pissed at him for wanting to do it. Michael and Zack arrived at the studio around nine thirty. They were ushered back stage by a gopher who directed them to Justin's dressing room. Justin jumped up when Michael entered, hugging him, then kissing him as soon as Zach had closed the door. "You all raring to go, Justin." Michael smiled after kissing him. "Yeah, I think the show's going to be really funny, hopefully." Michael sensed that Justin was having his pre-jitters as usual. Michael kissed him again, licking his lips. "You'll be fantastic, like you always are, sexy." Justin saw Michael's faith in him shining through and his love for him. That calmed him right down, his smile showing his faith in himself. There was a knock on the door, Michael and Justin seperating. Jimmy Fallon walked into the dressing room smiling. "Hey Justin, want to go over our lines again? Oops, didn't realize you had company." Justin smiled, but Michael sensed he was uncomfortable all of a sudden. "Jimmy, this is my close friend Michael Tavarro, and his friend Zach Warren." Zach shook Jimmy's hand followed by Michael. When Michael contacted with Jimmy he felt his feelings flow into him. And Michael was utterly shocked. Jimmy wanted Justin, and he wanted him bad. Michael could feel his lust and his want, it overwhelmed him, and it concerned Michael. His face changed slightly, Zach picking up on it. "Nice meeting you, Michael." Jimmy smiled looking into his eyes. Michael smiled back, but his eyes didn't. Michael didn't trust him, he trusted his Justin, but not his man. He was going to watch him, and watch him close. Jimmy put his arm around Justin. "You buddy here is going rock this house tonight." He said winking at Justin. Michael sensed that Justin didn't like Jimmy touching him. Michael could see it in Justin's eyes. "Actually I've got my lines all down pat, I'm just going to stay here and chat with my friends for a while, okay Jimmy?" "Sure thing, Justin. Will see you on stage." Jimmy looked dejected, and then smiled at everyone, saying goodbye before leaving. As soon as he left, Justin sighed a heavy sigh. "Whats wrong, sweetie. Did he do something to you?" Michael put his arm around him. Justin knew that Michael had sensed his being uncomfortable. "No, not really. It's just he's always hanging on me, touching me. It's as if he wants something from me." Michael frowned, both men seeing it. "What is it Michael?" Justin looked worried. "He does want something from you, Jus. He wants your body. He's lusting after you. I felt it as soon as he shook my hand. He's after you, and I don't think he realizes its not mutual." Justin gasped, not thinking of that at all. He looked at Michael, seeing his look of concern. "Mico, I didn't do anything to attract him, you must believe me." Michael picked up on Justin's feelings. "Baby, I know it's nothing you did. You can't help other people being attracted to you. I trust you completely. But watch out, Justin. I don't trust him at all." " I will, babe. I don't want to have anything to do with him." Justin loved Michael so much for believing and trusting in him. Michael kissed Justin deeply, showing him his love for him. Justin kissed back ardently, showing Michael his love for him. Zach just sat back smiling. Another knock was heard on the door. Amy Poeller popped her head in smiling. "Hey Justin, good luck." She said smiling. Justin laughed asking her to come in. Justin introduced her to Michael and Zach. She smiled at them both, asking all about them. Michael liked her right off the bat. She reminded him of Vicky. They all chatted for a while, laughing and talking. The Amy invited Michael and Zach to come and meet everyone, they were all just relaxing getting revved up for the show. The next thing they knew they'd met all the cast members. They all seemed to be nice people, funny and flirty. Michael keep seeing Jimmy looking at Justin. He kept slapping him on the back or touching him. Zach kept looking at Michael, wondering when Michael would reach the end of his patience. Michael's anger was beginning to simmer. He didn't want to be angry about this, he trusted Justin, but still the man was annoying his Justin. Justin knew now what Jimmy was after, and he sure as hell wasn't giving him that. He looked over at Michael and smiled, Michael instantly calming down again. A stage hand came on telling everyone twenty minutes till air time. Everyone got up, scattering to different areas. Michael hugged Justin wishing him luck. Jimmy sat on the sidelines looking at Michael and Justin. He sensed there was something there, something between them, maybe something special. Jimmy smirked, a small smile on his face. Maybe Timberlake was gay, or maybe bi. Well he only knew one way to find out, and he was going to do it tonight. He just needed to get him alone. Michael stepped back, Zach hugging Justin, wishing him luck. Michael and Zach were escorted to their front row seats. The show started, Michael sat nervously, all his thoughts on Justin. Then they announced him the audience went wild. Justin came out smiling and looking at Michael directly. Michael smiled, he felt Justin's soul alive, and focused. He was going to be alright, he was in the zone. The show actually turned out to be very funny. Michael loved the short film " Cock in a box." and the skit with the homeless mascots. But his soul was filled with pride when Justin sang. Justin's voice entered his soul, Michael's love increasing two fold for this special man. Justin's voice sent Michael deep into his heart, feeling Justin's love there, Before they knew it the show was almost over. Everyone came out of stage for the final goodbye. Justin said goodnight to everyone smiling at Michael, then winking. He hugged everyone including Jimmy and Cameron. After it was over, Michael and Zach were directed back stage again. Michael walking into the dressing room to find Justin practically bouncing off the walls. His energy level was high. "Mikey, Zacky. That was awesome. I think I did fantastic!!!" Michael smiled at Justin's happiness. "You did great, Jus. You were really funny and your singing was fantastic." Justin beamed, loving when Michael praised him. A few people were milling around so they had to play it cool. Amy came up to everyone smiling. "So, Michael. Are you coming to the wrap up party. Justin is going." Michael looked at Justin, seeing his pleading eyes. "I'd love to go, I'd like to see how you wind down after all this tension." Amy laughed, walking over to Keenan. Jimmy came up to Justin, putting his hand on his shoulder. "You want to ride with me Justin, my limo is outside." "No thanks, Jimmy. I've got mine ready to go. Besides, Michael and Zach are coming with me." Jimmy looked at Michael, Michael sensing him sizing him up. Michael deliberately put his hand on Jimmy's shoulder, his thoughts and feelings entering Michael's mind. "We can have a good chat at the party, Jimmy." Michael smiled at him, looking into his eyes. Jimmy smiled widely at Michael. Man, this guy's as hot as Justin, maybe a threesome could be in the works, Jimmy thought. Michael felt it all, his smile never deviating from his face. Zach watched the two of them, Justin also watching. Everyone started filing out, going to their cars. Michael and Zach went with Justin and Lonnie, getting into a black limo in the underground parking lot. Once they were inside, Zach needed to open up the discussion. "Okay, Mikey, what gives. Why all of a sudden were you so chummy with that asshole." Justin smiled, liking Zach's forwardness. "I needed to touch him, to see what he's up to. And its not good." Justin sighed, looking into Michael's eyes. "Now he wants to have a threesome with both of us, Jus." Justin stared at him, then bursting into laughter. Zach was right behind him, laughing louder. "What's so damn funny." "Mikey, we can do so much better." Justin laughed. Michael caught the meaning and started laughing also. Once they settled down a bit, Justin saw Michael sitting quietly, as if he was thinking about what to do. Michael looked up at him. "He has a plan to get you alone, Justin. And then he's going to make a move on you." Justin didn't like that idea, he didn't want the guy pawing him. "What are we gonna do, Mikey?" "We're going to make sure he doesn't get you alone, okay. And I will be feeling you at all times. If you sense anything, or feel anything, just let me know where you are and I'll be there in a flash. I won't let him get near you, Jus." Justin smile, liking the idea of Michael being his protector. "Thanks, babe. I knew you'd look out for me." Michael smiled, leaning in and kissing him. Zach and Lonnie smiled. "We're all gonna look out for you, slim." Lonnie said. Justin smiled widely. They arrived at the nightclub where the party was taking place. Michael found it a little noisy and crowded. There were over one hundred and fifty people in a small nightclub. Justin went around getting congrats from everyone, hugging different people. Michael and Zach keep in the background until Amy and Keenan came up to them. "Michael, I just found out your a writer from Justin. Thats so cool. He told me about your book." Amy smiled. "Yeah, its a living." Michael smiled. "Well, I'm going to go out and pick it up, I love reading new authors." "Thanks, Amy. I hope you like it." "Please tell me about it." So Michael sat down at a table talking to her all about it. Justin walked by a little later, smiling at Michael. Michael winked. Zach was talking to Mia Rudolph at the next table. Michael enjoyed talking to Amy but he still keep an eye on Justin and on Jimmy. That worried him, he hadn't seen Jimmy in about ten minutes. Justin was laughing and chatting with Lorne Michaels. After half an hour or so, Justin felt a burst of happiness from Michael. He looked over at Michael sitting with Amy and now Zach and Mia,plus a couple of other people, they were all chatting, Michael seeming to be the center of attention. That made Justin smile. Michael was enjoying himself. Justin took this as the perfect time to slip away to use the washroom. He walked out of the room heading down the hallway towards the washroom. He didn't see a figure leaning against the stairwell on the left side. Jimmy watched Justin walk by heading for the washroom. He smiled and watch him go. He'd planned this well, having put a sign on the men's washroom only minutes before. Justin looked at the sign which read to use the upstairs toilet. JUstin sighed and took the stairs directly ahead of him. Jimmy got up, and followed behind him quietly, removing the sign from the washroom and throwing it on the floor. Michael was sitting at the table and looked around. He didn't see Justin anywhere. He cleared his mind quickly sensing Justin going up a flight of stairs, he was seeking the washroom. That's odd, Michael thought. He's walked right past it. I know, I was there twenty minutes ago. Michael didn't like this, he excused himself and got up from the table. Zach saw him go, wondering where he was going. Michael walked out of the room. Zach looked around for Justin and didn't see him. That was strange. He got up looking for Lonnie and found him talking to Lorne Michaels. "Lon, where's Justin." Lonnie looked around, not seeing him. "Shit, where is he, and where's Fallon." They couldn't find either. They now knew something was up. Justin walked into the upstairs washroom down at the end of the hall. It was deserted, no one inside. Justin was humming to himself, going up to a urinal to do his business. He didn't hear someone slip into the washroom and lock the door. Michael looked into the washroom at the bottom of the stairs, no Justin. He walked back out and saw a piece of cardboard laying on the floor in the shadows. He picked it up reading the directions to the upstairs washroom. His anger was simmering again. You sneaky coniving bastard. Michael took the stairs two at a time. Justin was standing at the urinal humming when he felt someone's hands on his butt. They pressed him against the urinal. "Hey lover, want to have some fun." Jimmy said, his hands moving around in front of Justin, one wrapping around his cock. Justin jumped, pushing him back off him. Justin quickly closed his pants, looking terrified at Jimmy. "Keep your damn hands off me , Fallon." Jimmy smiled. He liked it when they played hard to get. "Come on, Justin. I see the way you like to be touched, the way you watch me. You want me as much as I want you." Jimmy started to approach him again. "Stay to fuck away from me, Jimmy. I don't want anything to do with you." "Well, I want to do you, sweet cheeks." Jimmy was on him in a flash, wrapping his arms around him, kissing him on the lips. Justin struggled, fighting the man, Justin's fear mounting. Jimmy was rubbing his crotch against him, Justin feeling his hardness.One of his hands was on Justin's ass, Justin trying to break free of his hold, his hands were pinned behind his back by Jimmy's other hand. In his mind Justin called for Michael to help him. On the top steps Michael felt Justin enter his mind. Michael felt Justin's fear, his terror slowly building.He heard Justin calling for him. Michael ran up the hallway quickly finding the washroom door. It was locked. He listened and heard someone crying. He stepped back and threw himself against the door, it didn't budge. Then he heard Justin scream his name in his mind. That was all it took, Michael's mind zoning in on his gifts. His eyes glowed brightly he focused on the door knob and lock. It exploded off the door, the door flying open. Michael rushed in seeing Jimmy trying to force Justin's down on the floor. Justin was crying, tearing flowing from his eyes, he was trying to fight him, but Jimmy was a little stronger. Jimmy was winning. Jimmy turned looking at Michael when the door flew open. All Michael's anger focused on Jimmy. He was on him in a flash, his fist hitting him squarely on the jaw. Jimmy fell backwards, shocked at Michael's quick reflexes. Before he was on his feet again, Michael had hit him in the stomach and in the chest. Jimmy went down again. Michael went at him again, this time making him stay down. "Michael, stop! You'll kill him." Justin pleaded. Michael instantly stopped at hearing Justin's voice, the glowing dissappearing instantly from his eyes. He was at Justin's side immediately, holding onto him. "Are you okay, Justin. He didn't hurt you?" "No, I'm okay. Please don't let him touch me again, please. Don't let him touch me, Mico." Justin was crying, Michael seeing his emotional state. Michael hugged him close. "No one's going to touch you, baby, only me." Lonnie and Zach ran into the room seeing them on the floor, and Jimmy laid out. "FUCK!!!" Lonnie yelled, his anger directed at Jimmy. Zach stood stunned. They both looked at Michael quickly. "He's okay, shut the door. I got here before he did anything bad. He had Justin down and was attacking him." Zack closed the damaged door. Lonnie freaked out heading for Jimmy, who was regaining his balance. "Stop right now, Lonnie!!!" Michael said loudly. Lonnie froze looking at Michael. "Zach, come here and sit with Justin." Justin looked up at Michael, Michael smiling at him, they felt their feelings united together. Zach came over, sitting down beside Justin, smiling at him, unsure if he should hold him or not. Justin was watching Michael as he walked over to Lonnie. "Step back, Lonnie. I'll take care of this." Lonnie stepped back towards Justin, anger still on his face. Michael turned and looked at Jimmy who was staggering to his feet. "You bastard, you've hurt me. I was only having a bit of fun." Michael's eyes glowed again. Jimmy saw them and stepped back in fear. "Fun! You think its fun to force yourself on someone, someone who didn't want you to." Michael's voice was calm, but determined. "Hey, he's been making moves on me all week, he wanted it." Michael's eyes glowed brighter, everyone now seeing them. His face was motionless, no expression. Michael's hands went out in front of him, Jimmy instantly being pushed backwards against the wall by an unseen force. Everyone knew how that force felt, they'd experienced it at Zach's. Jimmy was pinned against the wall, he couldn't move his arms or legs, and he was about six inches above the floor, laying flat against the wall. His eyes showed terror, his body trembling. Michael looked straight into his eyes. "It's time you learned that no means no, Jimmy. You can't have whoever you want. I know all about people like you, who have no respect for other people. You have no conscience. Well it' time, Jimmy. It's time you learned how to be a good and respectful man." Jimmy stared at him, beginning to cry. "Please don't hurt me, please, I'm sorry." Michael walked towards him slowly, everyone locked on Michael's movements. "I'm not here to hurt you, I'm here to teach you." Michael put his hands up to Jimmy's face, putting one on both sides. Then Michael closed his eyes, Jimmy's head flew back and he gasped. They stayed like that for only moments. Then Michael opened his eyes a bit, tears in them, then backed off. He released Jimmy from his confinement, his feet settling down on the floor. Then Jimmy began to cry, almost sobbing. He looked over at Justin. "Oh god, Justin, I'm so sorry, please forgive me, please forgive me for almost doing something terrible." Jimmy was totally shaken up, he couldn't stop crying. Michael walked back to Justin, pulling him up off the floor. Justin looked at him, seeing his eyes were back to normal. Michael smiled tenderly at him. "Lets go home, Jus. You need to rest." Michael put his arm around him, guiding him towards the door. Michael turned at the door looking first at Jimmy and then at Zach and Lonnie. "Leave him, guys. He's got to deal with his own conscience now. He'll never hurt anyone again." Both men looked at Michael uncertain, but then nodded. Lonnie left quickly, going to pull the car around to the side of the club, they would exit quickly from a side entrance. Amy came walking down the corridor, looking at everyone. Michael smiled at her. "Justin's not feeling well, Amy. Can you make excuses for him. We're going to bail." "Sure thing, Michael. I hope your okay, Justin." She put her hand on his shoulder. Justin tensed up a bit, but tried to smile at her, not saying anything. "You guys take care, okay. Nice meeting you." Michael hugged her, she smiled at him and walked back down the hallway. Lonnie came back up the staircase, ushering them down. They exited the side door, no one seeing them go. As soon as they were in the limo, Michael had Justin in his arms, holding him close. "It's going to be okay, sweetie. It's all over, and your okay." Michael was soothing his back with his hand, Justin was quiet. "What did you do to Jimmy, Mikey?" Zach asked, Lonnie looking at him too. "I taught him respect." Michael said looking at both of them, then kissing Justin's cheek, pulling him tighter. Zach knew that Michael didn't want to talk about it in front of Justin, his only concern right now was Justin's well being. They sat in silence on the trip back to Zach's. When they got there, they woke Christina who'd fallen asleep on the couch. Christina knew something was wrong. Michael led Justin into the kitchen, Justin sitting down. Everyone sat down around him, but giving him space. "You ok, slim?" Lonnie asked, concern all over his face. "Yeah, I'll be okay. It was just scary, thats all. I couldn't stop him." Justin said quietly, starting to get emotional again. Michael put his arm around him, Justin calming down right away. Christina sat in shock, not knowing what had happened. Zach filled her in quickly as Lonnie got up making coffee. Michael just sat quietly rubbing Justin's back. Christina face turned to anger and concern. "That bastard, no one has the right to do that to someone. I hope you beat the crap out of him, Mikey." Michael's face changed, it took on a somber look. Justin put his hand in his. "Mikey protected me, he stopped him pretty quick." Michael looked at Justin, seeing his love. "I hit him pretty good, but what I did after did more damage that what any fight could of done." Everyone looked at Michael sensing he wasn't too proud of what he did. "What did you do, Mikey? " Christina asked. "You have to understand that I am not a man of violence. I've never believed that violence is the answer. When I saw what he was trying to do to Justin, I freaked out. If Justin hadn't of stopped me, I could of killed him. I was so angry at him for touching Justin." Michael seemed ashamed of that anger. "How did Justin stop you?" Lonnie asked. Michael looked at Justin's blue eyes. "He just told me to stop." Justin smiled at him, knowing Michael would always listen to him. "Your my everything, Jus. I will always obey you. Love conquers all, remember?" Michael looked at him. Justin smiled back. No words necessary. "So, I knew that beating the crap out of him would of made me happy, but not Justin. So I decided on what I needed to do. I needed to show him what he was doing to other people." Michael looked like he didn't want to say the next part. He put his arm around Justin again. "So I connected with his mind and I showed him what it really felt like to be raped by someone." Everyone gasped. "All the emotions, all the pain, the hurt, the anguish. I showed him it all. I showed him how you felt, Jus, and how he made you feel. And how terrified it was for you. It terrified him, I could feel his feelings. It will always be there in the back of his mind. He'll never do that to another person, Jus. His mind will never allow him to." Everyone sat there stunned and quiet. "So, that was a far greater hurt I've given him than a beating ever could." Everyone thought about what Michael had just told them, to make someone experience that, to show them the other side. "I gave him the gift of a conscience. He'll always think now before he does anything, his mind will forever be changed." Michael got up excusing himself to use the washroom. Justin sensed that Michael wasn't ashamed of what he did, he just didn't like the fact that he had to do it. When Michael returned, Justin got up, hugging him. "Thank you, Mico. For showing him what he'd done wrong. Your a remarkable man to give someone a second chance to have a redeeming life." "I did it for you Justin. I wanted him to know that you didn't deserve that. No one deserves that. I know how it feels." Justin kissed him deeply. "We all should go to bed. Its after four." Michael said. Everyone hugged Michael, Justin looking at everyone. Lonnie came up to him, looking at him with guilt on his face. "I'm sorry Justin. I'm sorry I didn't keep a good enough eye on you. When I think of what he'd almost done to you, I can't help feeling I've failed you." Justin looked at his friend with shock. "Oh, Lonnie, don't say that. I know your always there for me, Jimmy just had it all set up, he had it all planned out. He tricked all of you, but not my Michael. Michael's gifts saved me tonight, and his soul." Michael smiled at him. Lonnie smiled, Justin hugging him tight. "Goodnight, Lonnie. Love ya." Justin said, tears in his eyes. Lonnie turned with tears in his eyes too. "Night, slim. Love ya back." Zach and Christina waited for Justin to hug them too, which he did. They didn't want to spook him, knowing he was still a little unsure about being touched. Michael and Justin said goodnight to everyone. Once they were in bed alone, Justin began to cry. Michael held him in his arms, soothing his soul. "I was so scared, Michael." "I know, babe, I know. But I will always be here to keep you safe, my love." Justin held onto Michael, feeling his love against him. "We are connected, Jus. Our minds seek out each other when we're needed. I will always come to you to protect you." Justin smiled, not saying anything. "I love you, Jus." Michael said with all his love and caring spoken in those words. They fell asleep together, Justin in Michael's safe strong arms. Their love filling both souls. End of Chapter 38 Well another one finished. Hope you liked the Jimmy Fallon part. I'd just watched the tape of the SNL special again, and it gave me this idea. Let me know what ya all think. Next chapter back in LA. Props to Migi, thanks friend. Keep the faith, Angel.
