More Than Anything
by Susie Q Poofu

Chapter 18

"It's been a great few days, despite a few things, I'm glad you came." Lance said, giving Joey a hug goodbye.

"Thanks for letting us stay, I'll see you guys in a couple weeks." Joey said, hugging JC.

"Yeah, thanks guys, It was great getting out of Orlando for a few days." Nina said, hugging them and getting a kiss on the cheek from each of the guys.

"Thanks for having me." Sue said, acting as nothing happened, hugging JC, then Lance, slipping something into Lance's back pocket.

"You sure you guys don't wanna come back with us? JC?" Joey asked.

"No thanks, we're just gonna chill, we'll see y'all in a couple weeks." JC said.

"K, bye guys." Joey said.

"See ya." Lance and JC said.

The three walked to the terminal as the last call was called over the speakers. After they were gone, Lance reached into his back pocket.
"What's that?" JC asked.

"I don't know." Lance said, unfolding a small piece of paper. "Sue put it in my pocket."

Lance unfolded the paper and they both read it silently. The looked back up at eachother and Lance put the paper back in his pocket. Neither knowing what it really meant, but they had a feeling it wasn't good.

"So now were alone, I think we should talk about whats gonna happen with us." JC said, turning to Lance.

"I know, we need to get some stuff figured out."

"Well, what are we gonna do? Before you say anything, hear what I have to say." Lance nodded. "Okay, well... I love you, I've loved you for a long time Lance, ever since I got to know you, but I'd never tell you, I didn't think you'd want to be with me." JC said, his eyes locked on Lance's. "You don't know how hard it's been on me these past few years, not being able to be with you how I wanted to be, but everyday I cherished our friendship. It was expecially had when you were with Joey, and then Danielle, and when they both hurt you, it was me that was there for you, you don't know how much I wanted to take all your pain away, I just wanted you to be happy. And now what you know I love you, and you say you love me, I don't wanna lose you, I know if we decide to stay together, it will be VERY hard, but I am willing to try as I'll risk everything to be with you." As JC finished talking, they were both on the verge of tears.

"I don't deserve such a wonderful man." Lance said, smililng at JC. "You are the best friend anyone would ask for and I would be the luckiest guy in the world to be with you. I wanna try, but we have to be extremely discreet, no acting like anything but friends and bandmates, no telling a soul, no slip ups, no being together unless its 110% safe, who knows what would happen if someone found out... but your definately worth it. Your the first person I've ever loved, it just seems so right to be with you, your love is all I'll ever need."

JC was beaming as tears fell from his eyes, "So you wanna give us a try?"

"Yeah, I do" Lance said, rubbing JC's hand. JC squeezed Lance's hand and they sat there and silently looked into eachother's eyes until Lance broke the silence, "And we have the next two weeks, just me.. and you."

JC wiggled his eyebrows at Lance and smiled, "Sounds good to me." JC stood up, holding Lance's hand and pulled him up with him. JC placed Lance's hand on his waist and brought his lips to Lance's softly. Then they kissed again, and again, JC hands running up Lance's chest around his neck. The kiss was amazing for both of them, filled with their love for eachother. They went upstairs to Lance's room and laid in bed together watching TV. Lance lay partially on JC, with JC's arms around him, there they fell asleep with no worries, no regrets, nothing but love and happiness in their minds and smiles on their faces.







Chapter 19

JC woke up, laying like he fell asleep, with his love in his arms. Seeing Lance there made him know he was going to have a wonderful 2 weeks. He didn't want to move and disturb the angel in his arms so he lay still, lightly stroking Lance's arms.

Lance opened his eyes and stretched, feeling JC underneath him, remembering he was in the arms of someone he loved put a giant smile on his face. Stretching, he put his arm around JC's neck and rolled over to look at him.

"Good morning." JC said smilling.

"Good morning to you too." Lance said, rubbing JC's chest. They looking into each other's eyes and leaned in for a slow, soft, loving kiss.
JC ran his hand down Lance's bare back, "I want to wake up like this every morning." he said, kissing Lance again.

"So do I." The two just lay in each other's arms, so incredibly happy to be there. "I love you."

"I love you too Lance, I always have and I always will." They kissed a few more times and Lance started to get up. "Where ya going?"

"I'm hungry!"

"Let me make you breakfast." JC said, getting up after him.

"JC," Lance said, placing his hand on JC's chest, "You can't cook."

JC laughed, "Oh yeah... I can make pop tarts.. and cereal though! What do you want for breakfast? I'll make it for you."

"You don't have to do that."

"But baby.." JC said, wrapping his arms around the front of Lance. "I wanna make you breakfast!"

Lance leaned his head back and kissed JC, "That's sweet, I'd love for you to make me breakfast... I just hope it's edible!" he said smilling.

"Thanks for the support." JC said laughing.

"I'll take a shower, that should give you enough time to run to McDonalds for some egg mcmuffins."

"That's it, you asked for it!" JC said as he twisted Lance around in his arms and knocked him onto the bed, with him on top of Lance. JC strattled Lance and held his wrists down.

"So JC, what was the point of this? Do I have to apologize now? Cuz frankly I like the situation, so I don't think what would work too good." Lance told him with a sly smile.

JC sighed, "Yeah, I know, it just seemed like a good idea." Gotten tired of leaning over holding Lance's arms down, JC sat up straight on Lance.
"You gonna let me take a shower?"

"Sure, go ahead."

"But honey, your sitting on me."

"Hmmm.." JC said, rubbing his chin looking like he was in deep thought, "Looks like ya can't then." he said smiling.

"Oh yeah?"

"Yup."

"Don't be so sure." he said, quickly bringing his hands to JC's sides and started tickling him, which immediately knocked JC over on the bed. Lance quickly rolled over onto JC and kept tickling him. He soon stopped and started to kiss him, rubbing his hands up JC, JC's hands running up and down Lance's back. They broke apart and smiled at each other. "Love you JC."

"I love you too, now get off me and go shower."

"Join me?"

"Didn't we already decide I was gonna make you breakfast while you shower? Even though I would LOVE to join you, I thought Lancey's tummy was growlin? Or are you hungry for somethin else?" JC asked smirking.

Lance ran his finger down JC's chest to his boxers, He leaned into kiss him and said, "Maybe a bit of both." against his lips, sucking on JC's bottom lip. JC placed a hand behind Lance's head and brought his lips down on his in a passionate kiss, sensuously rubbing their tongues together, massaging the insides of each other's mouths. Lance moaned as they broke apart for air and forcefully went back into the deep kiss. After a few minutes of such passionate kisses, both men were breathing heavy and quite hot. Lance rolled off JC onto his side, looking JC up and down. His hair was a mess, he needed to shave, his arms and chest were just beautiful and there was a large bulge in his boxers.

JC looked over at Lance and asked, "Whatcha lookin at?"

"The sexiest man alive."

"No, I believe that's you."

"Yeah right, I don't even come close to you."

"But I like it when your close to me." JC said smiling.

Lance laughed at him, "Your so cheesy."

JC laughed along with him, running his hand over Lance's shoulder, down his chest, rubbing his right nipple, slowly down his stomach, to his belly button, then followed the line of hair to his dark blue boxers, he then lightly ran his hand over the bulge, Lance moaned at the light touch.
"You know our really not making it easy for me to go shower."

"Well do you think I would when I can be doing this?" JC said as he rolled on top of Lance, their manhoods rubbing up against each other. A slight moan excaped Lance's mouth as JC licked up Lance's neck to his ear and began sucking on the lobe. Lance lay back with his eyes closed, moaning once in a while as JC kissed, licked and sucked down to his chest.

"I don't see us making it very far very soon." Lance said.

JC looked up at Lance, "Me neither, I just can't believe we're together, I just don't wanna let you out of my arms."

"I know what you mean." he smiled.

"I don't know how I'll live once we go back on tour, not being able to hold you, touch you, kiss you, anytime I wan, it's gonna be torture."

"We'll handle it, I'm sure it wont be too bad." Lance said, kissing him. Their kiss was interrupted by a loud rumble, Lance's stomach. They both started to laugh.

"Still hungry huh?" JC asked.

"Hell yeah."

"Well if we don't get up now, I don't think we ever will, so I think I should go make you that breakfast now."

"Sounds good, just don't try to make anything that involves more than microwaving or toasting! You know you can't cook, so please, don't even attempt to! Spare my life!" lance said desperately.

"Okay, but only cuz I love you!" he said kissing him.

"I'm glad we're not enemies!" they both laughed. Lance went to take his shower while JC went to find something for breakfast. All the while JC was making breakfast he had a giant smile on his face, this was exactly what he wanted, everything was perfect, they were alone, they were together, they were in love, what else could he ask for?

JC had gotten dressed before going downstairs, he was wearing khaki's and a long sleeved deep blue shirt that made his eyes look extremely blue. He was humming along as Lance walked down the stairs. He was wearing his 'Mississippi tight jeans' and a light blue t-shirt. JC was just pulling the Eggos out of the toaster oven when Lance came in.

"Ooooh! Chocolate Chip Eggos!" Lance yelled like a little kid, sniffing the air. JC laughed at him and set the plate of Eggos on the table. "WOW! and you didn't burn them!" Lance said, sitting down.

"Hey I can make Eggos! They're perfect." he said proudly. Lance quickly devoured his Eggos. JC laughed at him as he finished the last bite.

"Hungry much?" he asked.

"Hey, you heard my stomach earlier!" then he said "ME HUNGRY" in a Taz voice.

"I think your takin the Taz think too far, don't get like Joey!"

"I don't think anyone could get as bad as Joey and Superman." Lance laughed.

"But at least he hasn't tried to fly... lately!"

JC broke out laughing. "I can't believe he actually did that!" JC said thinking back to the time in Sweden when Joey dressed up as Superman and told everyone he could fly, and proceeded by juming off a 4th floor balcony.

"Well of course he was cocked off his ass, and he is Joey, and Chris' coaxing didn't help either." Lance said, still laughing at that.

"I remember how mad you were at him too! You were so pissed!" JC laughed.

"Well he could have gotten severely hurt! It's a damn good thing there was a pool out the window, and he still coulda been hurt really bad."

"Yeah, and he ended up doin a half a belly flop kinda thing, god when he woke up the next day he was flippin out, he had no idea why he hurt so bad and then when we wouldn't tell him he got so mad!" JC laughed, picking up the dishes.

Lance walked up behind JC and put his arms around him. "I love you JC."

"I love you too." JC turned around and the kissed. They pulled apart and smiled at each other, both knowing it was gonna be a great two weeks.

Chapter 20

"So, what do you want to do today?" JC asked, as he wrapped his arms around Lance.

"Stay home and spend some time with the man I adore." Lance sighed, looking into his eyes.

"Thats so sweet." JC said softly, kissing his lips. "By the way, your out of eggos."

"Oh thats not good! I'm addicted to those!" Lance whined.

"Your out of orange juice too." JC laughed.

"Ok, thats it, come on lets go." Lance said, grabbing JC's hand.

"Where are you taking me?" JC asked as he was dragged across the room.

"Where do you think? To the grocery store!"

-

"Will you stop it!" Lance demanded, as JC threw something into the heaping cart.

"What'd I do?" JC asked just like a child would.

"You keep throwing tons of stuff in the cart, we're gonna be here for 2 weeks, not 2 years!" Lance complained laughing.

"I'm sorry, I wont do it again." JC promised, walking ahead of the cart down the aisle. The next thing Lance knew a bag of potato chips mysteriously landed in the cart.

"JC..."

"Wasn't me!" he smirked.

"Sure it wasn't." Lance laughed at him.

JC lead Lance as they turned the corner to the next aisle. JC of course wasn't paying attention and was surprised when he bumped into someone.

"Oh, sorry." he apologized to the young girl he'd bumped into. The girl just stood staring at him, not saying a word.

"Hey Janie..." said another girl coming form behind her. "Oh my god!" she shrieked. "Are you JC Chasez?"

"I sure am." he smiled at the girls.

"Oh my God! Can I have an autograph?" she asked, rummageing through her pockets.

"No problem." he said, taking the paper she'd given him.

"Oh my God!!" she screamed again as Lance rounded the corner.

"Sure JC, get all the fans to yourself, don't even bother telling them I'm here. Don't mind him, he's rude." Lance laughed.

"Oh my god, my friends are never gonna belive this, I met Lance and JC at a grocery store!" she said, jumping a little. When JC was finished he handed the paper to Lance.

"Your awfuly quiet." JC said to the other girl, who was still standing stiff staring at them with gaping eyes.

"She's just star struck." The other girl answered for her. "Here, she'll kill me later if she doesn't get an autograph too."

They chucked at her and signed the paper.

"Thank you soooo much!" the girl said, as she grabbed her friend and walked away.

"Gotta love that." JC said, smiling.

"Yeah, I wouldn't want anything to take that away..." he said softly.

JC knew what he meant by that.

-

"I can't belive I spent $150 on groceries, remind me not to take you shopping again." Lance commented. "For someone so skinny you sure do like food."

"It's not my fault." JC pouted sweetly.

Lance chuckled at him, "Don't do that!"

"Why not?"

"Because, your too damn cute when you pout like that."

JC replied by pouting again, sticking his lower lip out and giving him sad puppy dog eyes.

Lance laughed and walked over to him, putting his arms around his waist. "I love you, you know that?"

"I know, and I love to hear you say it, everytime you tell me you love me it's like the first time, makes me feel all funny inside." he smiled. "And it makes me think of how much I love you."

JC leaned down and touched his lips to Lance's softly and slowly. Electric sparks shot through both JC and Lance's bodies, like it does everytime they kiss.

Lance softly caressed JC's cheek, "Your one of the best things that's ever happened to me, I couldn't ask for more."

-

Night had fallen and the two lay in Lance's bed silently. The room was dark, the only light was of the street light that peeked in through the crack between the shade and the window frame. Lance snuggled up against JC, with his arm across his chest. He thought about how much he cared about JC and how much he meant to him and a song popped into his head, he begun to sing it softly.



Lying here with you
Listening to the rain
Smiling just to see the smile upon your face
These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments
I'll remember all my life
I found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
Looking in your eyes
Seeing all I need
Everything you are is everything to me
These are the moments
I know heaven must exist
These are the moments I know all I need is this
I have all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time with you
Every prayer has been answered
Every dream I have's come true
And right here in this moment is right where I'm meant to be
Here with you here with me
These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments I'll remember all my life
I've got all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time with you
Every prayer has been answered
Every dream I have's come true
And right here in this moment is right where I'm meant to be
Here with you here with me
I could not ask for more than the love you give me 'Coz it's all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
I could not ask for more



JC clasped his hand in Lances and brought his lips to his for a slow, soft and sweet kiss. A tear fell from his eye.

"Why are you crying?" Lance whispered.

"Because I love you so much."

Chapter 21

JC sat down at the desk in Lance's office and pulled out his journal. He picked up a pencil and began to write.

Wed. May 24, 2000

Sup Journal?

Sorry I haven't written in you for a while, so many things have been going on. Last timeI wrote was a couple days after I got to Mississippi, and since then I haven't had enough time, and I haven't needed to write. I will remember what has happened here so vividly in my mind it doesn't need to be put in words, and I can't imagine how I even could.

My dreams have come true, they really have. I feel so complete, so whole, everything is right in my life right now. I just can't even start to explain how I feel.

About 2 weeks ago, well actually, I can give you a date, I will never forget that date, it was May 11, 2000, Lance told me he loved me for the first time. He had heard me sing to him, he found out I loved him and he realized he loved me too. I still can't belive it. And on that day, he told me he loved me, and the world I had known was changed forever, just as it had the day he came into my life. I couldn't belive it when I heard the words, it was as if I was reborn, I just felt alive, I love him so much, and to hear him say that, it was amazing.

Ever since that day, we have been together, loving each other as I thought we never would. Everytime I see him and look into his eyes, it's like the first time I laid eyes on him. Everytime I touch him, it's like the first time. And everytime his lips touch mine, I feel as though I am in hea ven. I feel that I am truly blessed, there's an angel that god sent to me and he's right here with me, by my side. When I wake up in the morning, and the first thing I see is him, I know it's all going to be alright. He gives me faith, he gives me strength... he completes me. With him, I am whole.

We're leaving here on Monday, going back to Orlando. Im eager to get back to touring and performing, that's always been my first love, and I could never live very long without it, but I wont be able to be with Lance. I dont know what's going to happen when we go back, I keep thinking about it, will we be able to be together at all? Will It change our relationship? So many questions I have, and no answers. But you know me, I will do anything I can for him, whatever I need to do to make him happy. I know he's afraid, he's afraid someone will find out, he doesn't want to hurt *NSYNC in any way. But I'm not going to let anything hurt him, I hope so anyway. I'd do anything to make him happy.

I sound disgusting don't I? All talking lovey dovey and everything, but I just can't help it. I've never felt so strongly for anyone before, it's so amazing. I love Lance more than I love myself, and I'm just so... I don't even know the word to use, happy, thrilled, excited, overjoyed they don't compare to how I feel, I don't think there is a word to explain it.

I love him, I really do.

-Josh

 

Chapter 22

"This is Daisy." Lance said, petting the cream colored horse. "She's pretty tame, I think you'll do okay with her."

Lance had brought JC to his favorite stable. He used to go there all the time when he was growing up, they took great care of the horses and they had beautiful trails. JC mounted Daisy and Lance mounted his horse, Raven, which was a deep black color.

"I've ridden this trail so many times, I bet I could do it with my eyes closed." Lance said as he lead JC down the trail.

"It's beautiful." JC said, remarking on the lush green trees and colorful flowers.

"It's the perfect day to go horseback riding." Lance smiled at JC.

"Don't say that, last time you said it was the perfect day for something you almost drowned. I swear, if you fall off your horse, I'm gonna keep you in a bubble for the rest of your life!" JC threatened.

Lance simply chuckled at his remark.

-

"Oh wow." JC said as Lance lead him to a clearing.

"I found this place when I was riding one day, isn't it beautiful?" Lance smiled, as he dismounted.

"Yeah it is." JC looked around, they were in a small clearing from the woods. It was surrounded by trees and was secluded and peaceful. In the center of the clearing was a small pond where colorful fish swam pleacefully.

After tieing up the horses to a tree, Lance walked over to the pond and sat down. JC looked over at him and thought he was in heaven, this beautiful place with this beautiful man, he had to pinch himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming. He walked over to Lance and sat down beside him. Lance was leaning over running his fingers in the cool water.

Lance looked up at JC as he sat down beside him. He gave him a warm loving smile. "I love you." he whipered.

"I love you too." JC whispered back, leaning over to capture Lance's lips. Lance quickly pulled away.

"Don't!" he said firmly.

"Why not?" JC asked confused.

"Anyone could show up at any minute, someone could be watching right now for all we know!" he said, looking hurt.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking."

"I know that! You can't do that JC! You can't not be thinking, cuz something like that could ruin everything!" he announced. He stood up and walked away from JC.

"Lance..." he beckoned, floowing him. "I'm sorry baby.." he said putting his arms around him.

"Damnit JC! Didn't you listen to a word I just said?!" he asked angrily, pushing him away.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to show you I was sorry.. I wanted to comfort you.. I.."

"I understand that JC, I do, but you have to understand YOU CAN'T DO THAT! How are we gonna make it if you do stuff like that huh JC? I don't want to lose you." he said, ending in a whisper.

"I don't want to lose you either, you mean so much to me..."

"Then you're going to have to learn to control yourself, otherwise we can't do this." he said softly, looking into his eyes. He had pain in his voice. Lance was scared, scared someone would find out. He walked over to his horse and untied it. Without a word he got back on and headed toward the trail. Hurt, JC followed.

As Lance rode back to the stables he thought back to what happened with Joey.



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

"Get back here!" Joey yelled, as he chased Lance around the recording studio. Lance speeded down the hall trying to get away from the clutches of Joey. "Give it back!" he yelled after him.

Lance had stolen Joey's superman briefs and threatened to show everyone. Lance ran down the hall and into a room and was closing the door when Joey barged right through, knocking them both down. Joey landed on top of Lance and smiled at him.

"Thanks for dropping by." Lance laughed under the weight of his boyfriend.

"No problem, your my favorite place to visit." he smirked at him. Joey leaned down and closed his lips on Lance's.

Just then the door opened, "There you guys are." Max Martin, one of the producers said. "What are you guys doing?" he looked at them strangely.

"Umm.. Lance stole something from me and I had to tackle him to get it back, now give it back!" he said to Lance, getting up off him.

"Ugh, fine here." he said, handing him his underwear, making sure Max could see them. "Aren't they cute?" he smiled nervously at him.

Max laughed and walked out of the room. Lance looked over at Joey and gave him an evil look and followed Max out of the room.

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



"That can't happen again." Lance said to himself as they arrived back at the stable. Lance put the horses back and headed to his car without saying a word to JC.

"Are you just gonna stop talking to me?" JC asked once they were in the car. "I'm sorry, I really am! I'm kicking myself for that, I'll make it up to you.."

"JC.. just.. don't say anything." Lance said, not looking away from the road.

JC stared out the window. He understood Lance was angry with him, but he didn't understand why he was being so mean. He just tried to be patient with him, he knew it was hard on Lance, but it was hard on him too.

When they arrived at Lance's home, Lance walked to his room without a word to JC. He stepped in his room and closed his door. Leaning up against the door he let the tears fall.







Chapter 23

Lance walked over to his bed and picked up the poleriod him and JC had taken of themselves a few days before. "I love you so much JC." he whispered. He curled up on his bed and shivered, not becuase he was cold, because he was scared. He was scared this wasn't going to work, he was scared he was going to lose JC, lose his career, lose everything. He felt bad for treating JC like that, of course he did, but JC still shouldn't have done that. The first was a mistake, and it was bad, but it was bearable. But then when he wrapped his arms around him, after have talked about that, it was just stupid and irrisponsible! He couldn't believe JC had done that, and that he'd let him. But aside from it all, he didn't have to be so cold to him, he was afriad, but that was still no reason. Lance got up off his bed and headed downstairs.

He stepped into the living room to see JC sitting on the couch staring off into oblivion. He stood there a moment before JC looked up at him. Lance silently walked over to the couch and sat next to him. They sat a minute, not saying a word, they knew what each other's feelings were, they knew what each other had to say. "I'm sorry I snapped at you like that JC." Lance apologizing.

"It's alright, you had every right to."

"I didn't have to be so cold to you though..."

"I know you were just scared, and I did some incredibly stupid stuff, I realize that, I just didn't at the moment. I don't want to do anything to jeapordize this."

"Neither do I, I love you too much to lose you."

"I know." JC smiled at Lance. They leaned in and kissed each other lovingly. "Let me make it up to you."

"You don't have to."

"I want to." he smiled.

"Okay... how?"

"That's a surprise, you just go to your room and stay there until I tell you you can come out, got that?"

"Yes motherrr." he joked, enunciating the end.

"Go!" JC commanded. They kissed again and Lance went back upstairs.

JC got up and began to gather everything he needed to make it perfect. He grabbed a phone book and a piece of paper and began to make a list.

-

Lance sat in his room watching TV when JC walked in, trying to conceal his grin, and not succeding. JC walked over to Lance and grabbed his hand, pulling him up. He stood behind him and pulled out a hankerchief and wrapped it around Lance's head, so he couldn't see.

"What are you doing?" Lance asked. JC didn't reply, just tied the knot in the back. He took Lance's hand and head him out the door.

"Down the stairs." He said when they arrived at the top of the stairs. Slowly they decended the stairs, Lance clumsily tried not to fall. When they got to the bottom JC lead Lance out the back door into the yard. There he took off the blindfold.

Lance had a large fenced in secluded back yard, which was now beautifully decorated. JC had placed candles all around and in the inground pool. There were a trail of candles leading to a blanket in the middle of the yard. Around the blanket were more candles and music was playing from somewhere which Lance could not distinguish. He didn't know what to say, the only thing that could excape his mouth was, "Wow." JC smiled at him and lead him through the trail of glowing candles to the blanket where there was a small table with candles and a silver tray on it. They sat down on adjacent sides of the table and JC pulled the cover off the tray, revealing a heaping pile of spaghetti. The aroma of the spaghetti invaded Lance's senses as an "Mmmm." came from him.

Still without any words, JC picked up a fork and twirled some spaghetti around it. He held the fork out in front of Lance, offering it to him. Lance opened his mouth welcoming the food and JC put the fork in his mouth and let him take the spaghetti off. As JC pulled the fork out of his mouth a piece was left on his chin. JC leaned in and took it into his mouth, closing his lips onto Lance's softly.

JC slowly sucked the spaghetti from Lance's mouth and ate it. Once they had eaten the spaghetti in their mouths JC slid his tongue into Lance's waiting mouth. They passionately kissed for what seemed eternity, yet it didn't last long enough. Finally they pulled away and smiled at each other. They continued to devour the spaghetti.

Half the plate was gone as they kissed again, sharing the food. JC placed his hands on Lance's waist and brought his hands up under his shirt. Lance moaned against his lips as JC's hands glided over his skin. JC pulled away from Lance, recieving a dissatisfied groan from him. Slowly he pulled Lance's shirt from his body and laid him down. JC laid on top of him and reclaimed his lips. He rubbed his chest sensuously as they kissed.

After a few minutes JC pulled away and took some spaghetti in his hand and places it on Lance's chest. Lance gasped in surprise. JC leaned down and slowly licked the spaghetti sauce off his skin. He then sucked the spagetti up. The feeling of this was driving Lance mad. JC continued to eat spaghetti off of Lance as they both became more and more aroused.

"JC.." Lance whispered out of breath, "Make love to me."

"JC.." Lance whispered out of breath, "Make love to me."

Without a word JC leaned down and captured Lance's lips with his, plunging his tongue inside his mouth to meet Lances. They began an erotic deul as Lance ran his hands up under JC's shirt. JC pulled away and threw his shirt onto the ground with Lance's. JC knealt, stratling Lance at his thighs and gazed down admiringly at Lance. His heart beat faster with every moment of looking at him. He was still amazed by it all, no matter what, he was still amazed he was finally with him. "Your my angel, Lance." he said to him, smiling.

"No, you're mine." Lance said, running his hand up JC's arm. JC leaned over and kissed Lance's soft lips sweetly before standing up. JC unzipped his pants and let them fall to his ankles. He kicked them off and laid down beside Lance.

Lance looked over at JC and smiled at him as their lips were brought together in a loving kiss once again. As JC caressed the inside of Lance's mouth his hand began to rub Lance's chest. He broke away from Lance and trailed his kisses down his neck lightly. Little by little his kisses descended down Lance. JC kissed up and down his colar bone and down to his nipples. He softly kissed each before slowly kissing his way down his stomache.

As he reached the top of Lance's pants he slowly unbuckled his belt and slid it out if his pants. Then slowly he slid Lance's pants off him leaving him in his boxers. JC looked down at Lance and saw he was enjoying this. JC then leaned back down and kissed the rim of Lance's boxers. Lance let out a surprised gasp when he felt JC's tongue slip under the waist of his boxers. He grinned down at JC as he slipped his fingers into his boxers and rid Lance of them.

A moan exscaped Lance's mouth as JC's mouth made contact with his erection. JC lightly kissed the tip, then kissed up and down it, smirking at Lance.

"JC, thats cute and all, but just do it please?" Lance begged.

JC snickered at the torture he was putting Lance through but obliged by taking him into his mouth. Slowly he moved up and down Lance, working his tongue over him slowly. Lance gasped as JC took all of him in his mouth and began to suck lightly on him. JC felt Lance's release coming so he stopped, prolonging it.

"Your such a tease!" Lance groaned.

JC followed by rubbing his tounge over him as he felt Lance begin to tremble and then release into his mouth. JC swallowed it and took his mouth away. He sat looking down at Lance, who still had his eyes closed. He smirked as he quietly stood up and walked away, without Lance noticing.

Lance slowly opened his eyes after his orgasm to lay his eyes on JC, but found him to be gone. He sat up quickly and looked around but didn't see him anywhere.

"JC?" he called out, but got not response. "JC, where did you go?" he called out again. He groaned as he got up, looking around. He was nowhere to be seen. Lance headed toward the house when he heard a loud splash behind him. He spun around to see ripples in the pool.

JC surfaced in the pool and wiped the water from his eyes. He looked up to see Lance looking at him. He smiled sweetly at Lance as he floated in the water. Lance smirked at JC and walked over to the pool, hopping into the water. As the water engulfed him he swam to meet JC in the middle of the pool.

JC put his hands on Lance's hips and pulled his soaked body to his, stealing a kiss. Lance smiled up at JC as he ran his hand down the back of his neck. Their lips were once brought together slowly as they massaged the inside of each other's mouth. They broke apart smiling at each other. "This is so perfect." Lance whispered, running his hand up JC's neck.

"This is the way it was meant to be." JC whispered to him, capturing his lips once again, leading him to the side of the pool. They pulled apart and JC climed the ladder out of the pool, holding Lance's hand as he followed. They walked over to the pool house and Lance grabbed an oversized towel and wrapped them both inside of it. JC wrapped his strong arms around Lance's body and rubbed the towel on him to dry him off.

With one arm around Lance, JC backed away from Lance a little, looking at him. A smile still remaining on his lips as he placed his hand under Lance's chin, leaning in to kiss him softly. "I love you." he said against Lance's lips, before walking him over to the couch.

"I love you too." Lance replied, laying down on the couch with JC. JC wrapped his arms around Lance as he snuggled into his chest. There they fell asleep, so in love.

Chapter 25

Lance stretched and yawned as he woke, finding himself in his own bed. He looked over to find the bed beside him empty. His forehead wrinkled as he tried to remember going to bed, he didn't. "I know I fell asleep in the pool house." Lance thought to himself. He crawled out of bed and walked to the bathroom looking for JC, he wasn't there. He walked to his bureau and pulled out a pair of boxers and put them on.

Lance trudged downstairs to find it quiet, JC nowhere to be seen. "Where the hell is he?" he thought. He walked out the back door and noticed everything from the night before was gone, the candles, the blanket, everything. He began to think he was crazy. He walked the pool house and saw the towel they had used dry and neatly folded where it was the day before. "What, did I dream this whole thing?!" he thought, "I know I didn't have anything to drink last night..." He walked back into his house and headed for the kitchen to get a glass of Orange juice. He opened the fridge and saw it was gone. "What the hell?!" he said aloud, "I KNOW we had a fuckin full jug of orange juice yesterday!" He sat down at the kitchen table and put his head in his hands. "I've gone insane!" he yelled. Lifting his head he saw a piece of paper at the other side of the table. He leaned over and read it. He suddenly started to laugh histerically.

Lance,

I woke up last night and brought you inside, you were too peaceful to wake up. I cleaned up the back yard this morning, don't worry about it. Went to get some OJ, I accidently spilled it, sorry, hope Im back before you get up, but if not, I'll be back soon.

Love you, JC

Lance threw the note back down on the table and walked upstairs to take a shower.

-

JC walked in the door and looked around, "He must still be sleeping." he thought. He put the jug of orange juice in the refrigerator and headed upstairs. As he got to the top of the stairs he heard the shower running. He walked into Lance's room and sat down on his bed and waited for him to come out.

A few minutes later he heard the shower shut off and then Lance walked out, naked. JC smiled and whistled at him when he saw. "This is better than last time I was in here when you got out of the shower." he commented.

"Yeah, now you can check out my ass and not try to hide it." he laughed at him.

"Who said I was before?"

"Because I could tell, I didn't mind, that was after I found out about your feelings for me. Think about it, do you think I would have just dropped the towel anyway?" he asked, smirking.

JC just stared at him with his mouth open, he coudn't belive it. Lance walked over to him and planted a kiss on his parted lips before getting dressed.

-

"I don't want this to be over" JC said, as he lay on the couch, with Lance in his arms.

"I know." Lance said, snuggling his head in JC's neck. The next day they had to get on a place to Orlando for tour rehearsals. "How are we gonna be together?" Lance asked JC, looking up at him.

"I don't know Lance, but we will." he smiled. Neither had ever been happier in their personal lives than they were those past 2 weeks. Lance brushed his hand over JC's cheek and brought his lips to his.

"What do you say we go upstairs and enjoy our last night together?" JC said, smiling at Lance.

Lance jumped up and ran to the steps. "Only if you can catch me!" He yelled. JC hopped up off the couch and chased Lance up the stairs, tackling him on the bed.

"Now you're mine." JC growled as he pinned Lance.

"I'll always be yours JC." he smiled up at him.

They enjoyed their last night together, not knowing just how long it would be before they could be together again.
